NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 25, 1917.
Speaking of the yacht race that whs
Jcslponed by the outbreak of the war,
Sir Thomas Lipton said that his cour
U) comes first with him an 1 '.is
yachts second. The latter part of this
has a tarn.liar sound to all who have
followed euuatic sports for the paat
lew years.
Deports from London say seven
German and one British torpedo boats
weu- sunk in the eugugmient of Mon
day night. Berlin says one British
boat was sunk and a German disabled.
Amsterdam says two G rinan boats

aged. Probably something happened,
an) way.
If the leak probers let the brokers
and bankets of Wall street retain pos
session of their books for unother
fortnight there will be a swell chunce
of finding anything in them that will
incrnn.nu.e any Washington official,
or any one else, with any panic.pa
ticn in the "scandal." The ni I icy
kirgs have delayed giving up the.r
books so long that the public should
net care whether they ever give them
up for they will show nothing. If
circumstances were a little altered and
the otlicials of some struggling labor
union had been ordered to bring their
records into court and had failed to
do so, what do you think would have
happened? You don't think at all.
Y’ou know. You know that officers
of the law would sack the union's
office, seize the books and everything
else. They would also throw the of
fenders mlo Jail and beat them up
a little for good measure. The union
oil cer3 would be dubbed by a portion
of the pres3 ua defiers of the law und
a menace to society. And they might
well huve been such at that. But Of
the other hand how about these Wall
street brokers and bankers. They are
engaged in a business which finds
few defenders. They are mostly
gamblers and crooked ones ut that.
To a great extent they are para3ltes
that prey on the rest of the country.
There is nothing inherently sacred
about bonds or money nor the New
Y’ork institutions that pile it up, often
by usury and devious means. The
people of the country and especially
the gi i at west, have small reason to
love Wall street and her railroad
leeches. But now the country 3tands
complacent while the exchange offi
cio la challenge the right of congress
to open their books to pry into a
