NOME, ALASKA. FEB 1, 1917.
The kaiser was reported as going
to present President Wilson with a
Christmas gift of a 3et of books print
ed at the royal printing works in Her.
lin Perhaps they were to be bound
copies of the submarine notes.
In remembering the close margin
by which President Wilson was re
elected it is well to consider some
inequalities in our electoral system.
For instance Mississippi, with ten
electoral vote3 as against Nebraska's
eight, cast less than half of Nebras
ka's vote at the polls. It Is the dis
franchisement of voters In the sou'h
thr.t kept democracy in the saddle.
Six weeks ago it was authoritaMve
ly stated that McAdoo would resign
on March 4 as secretary of the tr^ua
uiy. Perhup3 he wants to escape pub
lic censure for the huge treasury de
rilcit which he prophesies for 1918.
He stated, though not until after
election, that the deficit for 1916 was
one hundred and eighty live millions
and was et the belief that the deficit
w< uld le g: eater in 1917, and enu
mous in 1918. He seems to concede
that a democratic e ^ministration can
spend money with great rapidity but
cannot dec sse v ays to take it in.
Oillcial Washington was astounded
si mu f-.-w weeks since when it was
announced nt the White House that
President Wilson has changed the
1 ours for receiving members of con
greys f-oii 'orenoon to afternoon, in
the past, the president has received
cnlleis in ihe fiienoon and played

Just after the president sent his
peace note to the warring po\ver3
Secretary Lansing gave out un inter
view which contained the significant
phrase "if the United States should

meaning of that expression then, and
tie matter has not been cleared up
yet unless the tremendously Impor
tant ne\v3 of yesterday afternoon, that
Germany intends to disregard all rules
of naval warfare, helps to nuiko the
matter clearer. It will be remember
ered that Immediately following Lans
ing's interview BernstorlT began to
make more than ordinarily frequent
virlt* to the state department. And
since then the preeldent lute seem
ingly made every possible endeavor to
bring about peace. These and other
things can be explained on the as
sumption that Germany, following the
n< d-acceptance of her peace ofTer, had
int'mated to the United States the
Carman Intention to wage a relen'less
war on allied shipping without regard
to the accepted rules laid down for
such warfare, and in contravention to
the pledges given to this nation. In
order to avoid the obviously possi
ble results of such a savage warfare
Mr. Wilson would naturally nuke
uigent efforts to bring about peace.
The allied leaders knowing full well
what was afoot would not yield to
any persuasion to end the war eso’
cirlly as they think that it la better
to crush Germany now, while they
arc at It, rather than to have to try
It again when their passions are cool
ed and their wounds still 3ore. For.
s,. far as can be seen now, the only
piobahle outcome of Germany’s dis
regard of inti rnation-.i! law will be
the entrance of the United States and
possibly some other neutral states
into the war.
Oermanv will not be allowed to run
riot, to disregard all human righ’s,
nr.d trample like an enraged and
wounded bull nil the flowers of civil
ization under foot.
The Germans are omy a part of the
people of the earth and they can exist
on the. earth only under one of two
ci editions; either they must resoec*.
the plain r.ghts of other peoples, in
cluding the weak as well as the
stiong. or they must conquer the
earth and dominate it.
We interpret the imperial announce
ment of yesterday to mean that Ger
many in cold blood, deliberately in
tends to disregard all rights of the
allies on the seas as provided by the
rules of war, and more than this to
di* regard all rifcht9 of neutrals to use
the sea3 as they have a perfect right
to use them.
If Germany be so blindly brutal in
her intentions then most men will
agree that Germany must be pun
ished to a limit that a few days ago
would have been branded as cruelly
Inhuman.
Germany will not be allowed to de
sttoy civilization. If she makes the
attempt, the nations of the world will
be forced in defense of their proud
rigbt3 to unite against her and they
will not be justified in stopping while
there Is u shred of that fabric known
as Germany left on the face of the
Ci rth. tl would seem thut on Ger
many's shoulders alone rests the re
•ponslbility for the future. If her
leaders be not entirely blinded by
anger, chagrin, blood and ruthle3s
ness they should sees the doom they
art about to invoke on the beads oT
trillions of their innocent people. If
they ere not blinded by the deeds of
valor of their arms, the astounding
skill of their mechanicians and in
ti epldlty of their feats In air and un
der water, they will know that the
world contains more than enough
pewer to destroy them utterly. They
should also know that an utter re
vision to barbarity on their part will
give the signal which will cause them
to be cut off from the nations for
ever and ever.
