City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA. APRIL 6, 1915.
THE ELECTION.
What the result of todays voting
will be. of course, van only be conjec
tured, but it is in be hoped that the
public of Nome will make a wise choice
in the selection of the men who will
preside over our civic destinies for the
coming year As pointed out by sev
eral of tho councilmaniv candidates at
the meeting held in Eagle hall last
night, the city is already verging on
bankruptcy, or will be ver> shortly,
and no one seems to even surmise
where the next bank roll is to come
from unless it he from the liquor taxes.
While it is not believed that the sit
uation Is So bad but that we will he
able to pull through somehow, even if
it should be in the order of events that
the city is to be shorn of this no in- |
considerable source of income, it is
nevertheless apparent that wise heads
will be needed to prevent a recurrence
of those earlier days when the city
was struggling under an overwhelming i
burden of debt which it knew not how 1
to pay. That period was safely passed,
thanks to a succession of city council
ors who were able and used their heads
and it is to be hoped that the choire of
tho people today will be men of the
same calibre.
There is no denying the fact that
the new council will have no easy task
laid out for them in any event and it
will require painstaking care and sen
sible business management to avoid
landing on the threatening financial
shoals. Pet us hope, therefore, that
capable men will be found at the helm
when today's struggle Is over.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
NOME?
We wonder if the citizens of Nomej
are awaro that every town of any im- I
po’tanee in the territory with the ex j
ceptlon of Nome, has joined with Cor- j
do mi in the matter of extending an J
invitation to President Wilson to visli ’
their city when on the contemplated>
tour of the Pacific Coast.
Notice that our city was the only j
town which had apparently overlooked |
this was published in the columns of
the local press some days since but so
far we have heard no further mention
of the subjoct. Now, it seems to us
that here Is a matter that the people
of Nome are displaying an almost
total lack of civic pride in overlooking,
if it be their intention so to do. It is,
of course, understood that the Preadent
will hardly respond to the various In
vitations and the invitation has not
been extended with the belief that it
would be accepted. It Is simply a case
of extending a courtesy to the fore
most citizen of the nation, to the man
who more than any other in exalted
official position has betrayed a deep
and sympathetic interest in the terri
tory in which we reside and who lias
endeavored by everj means n his power
to aid in ils further advancement,
j For that interest alone this courtesy
j i« due, even though It is in itself a mere
I trifle. Indeed It Is so small a thing
that It seems that Xome can scarce
afford to let it pass if there is a spark
of civic pride yet Intent in the hearts
and minds of her citizens.
Are the people of Xome to remain
aloof when nearly every town tn the
territory has joined In the movement?
I.” Xome to go on record ns not ear
ring a continental whethei the Presi
dent comes or not and does not even
care that In Its failure to extend the
small courtesy it will stand alone
among the cities of the territory”
Have Xomeltes no pride In the i it>
: In which they dwell”
There are manv indications which
seem to lend confirmation to the idea
I already and it would seem that we
would be guilty of betra'Inc an almost
■ omplete lack of pride In our town if
ibis matter Is allowed to pass without
' notice
EXPORTATION OF WAR
MATERIAL.
Tile question of the exportation of
vv.ir material should tie looked upon as
matter of international politics In
stead of as a matter of Internal politics
i 'wing to Great Britain's command
■ r the sea t tie onlv diplonnttli relations
between ourselves and tlie contending
notions are with the allies These re
lations are not as cordial as might lie
desired The allitvv treatment of
.American shipping is not what it would
■lie if. for instance Mr Blaine were in
t if state department
The continued exportation of arms
j is a matter of great consequence to
i t lie allies.
The T'nited States gov ernment can j
nd should use the question of export-1
tug arms to secure concessions to
\iiieriean shippers and exporters.
Because Great Britain has com-!
o inded the sen it is erroneous to sug- i
- -si that the I’niled Slates in permit
ting tlie exporting of arms to the allies
is really acting In an unnatural man
ner.
Gorinuuy has tlie same right to liuy .
it tns in the t'nited States as has any
■0 t h« allies She cannot ship them.
it she can buy them and store them
in this country. This would be a clever1
war move and the proper one for the!
Germans to undertake.
In this vva\ Germany would prevent
her enemies from obtaining arms and
American industries would not suffer
In the American congress American
interests should be paramount - K\
