NOME, ALASKA, DEC 20, 1916.
The crazy sporting editor says that
owing to the danger to concestun.s
the attempt to play chess on skates
was abandoned in 1889.
It is said that the plant where the
little Fords are made earned more
profits last year than did the huge
octopus known as Standard Oil.
Henry had better look out or be may
be dissolved.
It is said that quite a few Cana
dians are crossing over into the
stales to avoid military service. The
New York Telegraph speaks of this as
delayed reciprocity, so to speak. A
great many Americans crossed over
inco Canada during the coures of the
civil war.
How many generals in chief com
mand have they over in France any
way? One disaptch speaks of Petain
as in supreme command and another
says that Joffre relinquished the com
mand in the north and northeast of
France to General Nevelle. Perhaps
each of them is supreme in his own
region.
An Ironic paragrupher observes that
the doctor who after an operation
sewed up a pair of forceps in a pa -
tient's body was not guilty of negl!
gence according to the finding of a
New Jersey Jury. Not at all. Appar
ently he left them there on purpose
so that they would be handy in case
they were needed again.
One local man who has as mu^h
right to his opinion as any other says
tVI England has got to get back the
money this war has cost her and
that she will take it out of United
StateB. Well, if we must pay Bri
tain's bills it’s consoling to know that
we have the dough to do it with,
There'll be a little excitement too.
If the spirit of Mark Twain ran
dictate a 6,000-word story and Will
iam T. Stead can send magazine ma
gazine material from the other world,
great possibilities seem to open up
along this line. Some one might be
able to lind out from W. Shakespeare
whether he wrote the plays that bear
his name and, if not, then who did.
This is not vital to our existence hut
it is one of the many things we would
like to know.
\
It Is pretty hard to make a winning
book on anything these days, whether
it be elections, the outcome of the wat
or what not. So it is not exactly wise
to declare postitvely that also-ran
Bryan may not bring about national
prohibition in four years. He has
made a great start by getting the
senate to even consider a constitu
tional amendment seriously. A start
Is one thing, however, and the finish
another. If the prohibition talk is
kept up too long there is a very fair
chance that the public will get tirod
of It an say so when it comes time
to vote.
Christmas is for the children as nil
will agree. The grown-ups have their
best times in making the little ones
happy. But, there are the ahildrea of

the rich, and of the well-to-do, an
of the poor. It should be the birth
right of all children to be happy a,
all times. L'nfortunutely this is none
too generally the case. Well, then,
sinec the world can't be made over
in a minute, it should be the birth
right of all children to be happy at
Christmas. Presents, and Santa Claus,
and surprises make the young happy
for a time at least. A poor child who
is accustomed to few playthings
might get more pleasure out of a lit
tle toy on Christmas than a rich child
out of his score of gifts. The Loyal
Order of Moose of this city thinks
that all children should be remembered
during the coining holiday season.
They know that very nearly all lit
tle ones in this community have fath
ers and mothers and friends who are
able to lavish gifts on their own darl
ings and they r re glad that this is so. |
But they fear that there may be child- !
ren not so fortunately situated, and so j
they are making an earnest appeal to '
all people who know of youngsters
who are not sure of receiving Christ
mas presents to give the names of
such children to the Moose commit
tee. The Moose are not officious In
this matter, they are not advertising
their benevolence. All they want is
the names of little tots who ought
to have a visit from Santa Claus and
who seem likely to be over-looked.
They ask the personal help of every
man and women in Nome. All they
ask of the public is the names of the
children. They will do the rest. And
no one, not even the little ones who
are made happy by their kindly gen- ;
erosity, will know anything else ahout
it. There wont be any sort of show
about the present giving. The little
ones will get presents from Santa
Claus and that will be all. Any one
giving in the name of a child, whose j
parents are in poor circumstances, 1
need have no fear that anybody's feel- I
ings are to be hurt. Nothing of that j
sort. Leave that to the tact of gen
tlemen of the committee. And what I
do the Moose get out of It, if they |
hide the light of their giving under
a bushel? Nothing. Nothing what
ever, except that joy which comes
to those who unselfishly help the weak
and needy.
