NOME ALASKA, JAN. 12, 1917.
It will be a good thing for all wher
the election is anally settled. Then we
Can bury our Ueud, and turn to some
thing else tor a while.
Governor Stanley of Kentucky
seems to be on the front page a sood
deal lately and by the Indications he
belongs there. He sounds like a real
man.
Pessimists, so far as this country
and the allies are concerned, say if
the Germans carry out their present
plan of enueavor and press on to
Odessa that wheat will go to three
dollars a bushel on tile Chicago ex
change. The idea being that Kussian
wheat will then be cut olt from the
allies. Thu would mean the end of
the war. And there you are.
The limits to which the law can be
stretched is beyond belief. In Ta
coma nut long since a man was tried
for insulting the memory of George
Washington. We'll take a chance at
this distance and say that if the court
had nothing better than that to do
it would have done well to go lishing
or gulling. And yet some consnrvu
tlve people wonder why our enuns
are not more trusted and respected
by the proletariat.
There Is ample testimony to the ef
fect that Great Britain is intending to
mvke a great drive at the German
lines on the west front sometime be
fore the middle of next summer, lap
ai>sc observers passing through our
country have declared this to he tho
ciue. 'n fact, it is an open secret.
The exact points of atack, time when
it will begin, and other details are,
ot course, withheld. Britain has the
min .the money, the cannon, the am
munition and the determination, very
n.uny people In America expert t.ial
the fvrniu.>e will he forced back, out
of I ranee, out of Belgium, mJ at
lea-1 he fur us the Germuu tr-.ner.
This is expecting either a great deal
of tho British arm yor very little of
the Ueunau Imres, mat the '1-rutan
lino will be orced back some dia
tan. e from lime to time Is very prob
ed e. and r« en a complete break ‘s
possible. But after reading a state
mi III by Field Marshal von Hinden
burg, chief of the German general
strflT on this subject the most hope ful
pro. ally is liable to pause and con
sider whether anything will be ac
complished that Is worth the mice
required for it. The wily old Ger
man military genius says “It is non
sense if they tell you that I intend
to shorten my front in the we3t. 1

never thought of It. Why should I
do It? The front In the west aiunds
us linn as u rock, and it our enemies
by gigantic use of arlllery, hero ana
there, gum a liitle terrain, they nliu.ll
never break through. In order to do
this they would have to attack for
thirty years, provided they hud enough
ana"
IT th« allseed "lnalc” had taken placa
betuiv Mnitwa Wiuua would not have
hud a ghost of a chance of re-eloetlon.
The presiueul and btuuiug arc above
suspicion in this mutter in tho minds
of ail lair minoed men. They have
exonerated Tumulty and that alone
sates mm worn suspicion. Hut there
was a leak, this is undoubted. Home
one did it and a number of people
protued by iu Lnduuuieuly congress
men were among tliut number, in
me pieliunuary nea. ing beiore the
house 'Committee no facts were
bi ought out that would warrant a
cougi essional luvusugalion. There Is
Hot muon to go on. Only the luct
that there was a leak and certain
people made money by it. There is
nothing illegal about either one thing
or the other. It is really a small
mutter fur congress to be boluered
with. And yet such is the nature of
many humuu m.nus that very rnauy
people believe congress is "wiute
wasinng over u very nasty uiess.
Doubtless If a vote of the free und
until.geUL people of Nome were taken
louuy at leasi a third of them utter
reading the disuptches on the sub
ject would say congress whiteWHsn
ed the whole thing over by orders
of the udminislrai.1011. In other words
so far as a certain element of our
peeple go the administration, Includ
ing the prtsident has been smirched.
As suid beiore, had this happened
previous to election Mr. Wilson would
have uuuouotedly lost thousands of
votes which would have cost him the
rc-election. It would have been unfair,
up lust for him to have lost on such
giounds but that Is the way things
go in a world that is peopled mostly
by those who see through a glass
darkly, who are easily misled by false
premises or by predispositions and
desires.
The conclusion of the whole matter
is something like this. Some ihap
got wind of the note and sold his in
formation for very good money, but he
was not guilty of any crime. Wall
street brokers and bankers and others
pioflted by this advance Information,
and there was no crime on their pert.
The only crime in the whole matter
Is that anybody is allowed to pile up
by any means whatever millions of
dollars which ultimately have to bo
furnished by the laoor of thousands
ol men who get almost nothing out
of their lives except forced labor
ard worry|. The term "forced labor"
is used to cover present day condi
t ons for the average man, and lj In
contradistinction to “work” which Is
man's highest privilege providing it
he free and sutficlently paid.
