NOME, ALASKA, DEC. 2, 1916.
Of all the tragedies of the war, th<
destruction of nitn by the blundering
of their fellow nationals, such as the
sinking of the two Russian transport,
is the most senseless.
In taking over the coal m'ncs o
South Wales to operate them the Br!t
ish government is moving ano'he;
step along the road to socialism. Th
mines may be returned to their ow i
ers after the war but the people can
ulways say "what was done in o»n
emerg.ncy can be done in another.'
And 30 with the railroads now run
by that government
Indications are not lacking that
President Wilson has adopted a firm
er tone with Germany 3ince his re
election. He ought to do the same
with England regarding her inter
ference with our mails. We went to
war with her over a century ago for
a similar offence and she should be
sternly reminded that while we are
very friendly with her we are also
very touchy about our rights. V.'e
should maintaiu those rights against
any nation or nations that disregards
them.
The kaiser is a wonderfully capable
man a3 even British writers have
pointed out in one sort of an article
or another for the past dozen years.
With a very poor phyiscal equipment
In early life, he cultivated and train
ed what body he had until it became
more serviceable for his purposes
than the body of the average man
who 1s born healthy. He made the
most of a mind that did not show
signs of any particular brilliancy. He
never missed an opportunity to learn
whether It was from an American
captain of Industry, a French scien
tist, a British naval expert, or nn
occultist of India. If ever a man
strove to develop every talent he
had, that man Is Kaiser Wilhelm anJ
In a score of fields his attainments
are more than passable. He Is a well
rounded man.
But more than this, he tj a mon
arch and not only merely a titular
ruler hy righ* of Inheritance hut also
the visible embodiment of the asplra-!
tlons of the most self-assertive and i
efficient race of people on the face
of the earth today. His suhj -cts may '
or may not accept his assertion that
he rules by divine right as true or
partly so, but they do recognize him
as the bodily Impersonation of their
national ambition. In a way he typi- !
ties all that Germany Is and wants to I
be.
And so when we read In yester
day's paper that the kaiser knelt at
the bier of the late Franrls Joseph In
Vienna and prayed In silence for a
time and that he then left to Join his
army being unable to remain for the
funeral, many explanatory thoughts i
of this singular conduct come crowd
ing to mind. It was not stneular
that he knelt In prayer. He Is murh
given to that. Rut It Is unusual that
he did not remain for the public
funeral. He Is known to he fond of
pageantry. In times of pence he se|- |
dom m'ssed a wedding, funeral, or
coronation.
Ue seldom failed to attend these
i
tn times of peace. But these are
times of war and the war has been
in progress over two years. In this
time many wives have been widowed,
many a couple has been rendered
childless. How many grief-crated
men and women must there be In
Austria? How many of these there
must be who think of the kaiser,
whether wrongly or Mghtly, as the
cause of their misfortunes, and how
many ,ln futile atempt to get redress,
would seek to take the kaiser's life
should occasion offer? Probably a
* Treat many.
| Some such reason as fear of «s
i vsslnatlon, very likely precisely this,
; oust have prevented the kaiser from
tte nding the funeral. It is hard to
>eheve that any care of slate, or neeu
t the campaign ex.sud which would
ummon him from the ceremony. Bu
t was announced that he must leave
or the front and It is significant that
e left at n.ght. He had good reason
or attending thi funeral but did not
lo so. He had no apparent reason
’:r leaving but went.
The above is not bnseu on anv in
i de knowledge and is no more than a
upgested explanation of the kaiser'e
"allure to attend the funeral. Every
ea3on of s'ate and common decency
-equired that he should be there as
he representative of his people. In
stead of doing the conventional and
nroper thine the people of Austria
nd Germany were told that he knrlt
onp In silent prayer and hastenedl
.way on urgent business.
The sitaution seems to us strained
'or a lack of a better It seems rea
or.able to acc pt the fear of assass
ination as the cause of his absence.
Bv this is not meant that the kaiser
'ew Is. even as much as the ordinary
man, the fear of death, but rafhei
hat Germany cannot now afford tc
have him stricken down by the hand
'( one half Insane from grief and hor
ror. HIb death would be a national
catastrophe. And if this danger ex
sts, as we think it must, wherever
the kaiser goes in Austria or Ger
many, It Is necessary that his move
ments must be unexpected, his route
by the roundabout, his coming wh>n
not looked for. and his departure bj
night when few may know.
The kaiser’s lot i3 not now happv
•>nd can never be In this life. His
eqrden of blame, Just or unjust. Is,
heavy. The deaths of millions of the
bravest and best must haunt his 1
memory. He may have many proud
vours of triumph or he mav yet suf
fer the unspeakable humiliation of,
defeat but. whatever befalls, his life
Is precious to Ms people and must
be safeguarded.
AMERICA A WHEEL.
If the authors of the Declaration of
1 Independence had enjoyed the privi
lege of living in the motor age there |
is no question that their declaraMon
would have been n favor of "life, lib
r rty and the owner ship of an auto
mobile." rather than for as general a
quest as the "pursuit of happlne33."
Almost any motor car owner will sav |
that the terms are practically synon- |
ymous, anyway.

a portion of American incafnes ’'as

nels of trade to the automonile indus

iinding m ans to finance personal
needs as well, though the cost of hv.
ng has greatly inerens d. The situa

, howevei it iB acompliahcd, the *nc

It is probable* that ifttomoh-ie,
ownership Is diverting the p-vknt
money, the small daily expendi!ur« s
for trifles, into motor ownership -md
maintenance. When the family >3 on

but gasol ne. and it is busy with a
harmi ss and invigorating reception.
T’pon the whole America awheel
