City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. APRIL 7, 1915.
...» »w i t ur i ME CITIZENS
Well, its all over, and w<> believe
that aside from those candidates who
went down in defeat the people in
general are fairly well satisfied with
the result of the election. The new
< ouneilmen chosen are well qualified
for the task to which they are now
committed, and are ail thoroughly
identified with the best interests of ttie
community. We believe that while we
have given them a big job in looking
after tlie precarious future of the
town they will be fully equal to the
occasion. Many problems arc awaiting
them problems that will tax their pa
tience and ability, and they wili pro
bably find that the position of council- j
man is no easy task before they are I
many days in office.
The business of running a city,
whose financial affairs are hordering
on the chaotic and the income of which
is slender and precarious is a con
tract to which they must devote no
little energy and thought. The neces
sary utilities of our public life must
be maintained in the highest state of
efficiency. There must be a complete
reorganization of the taxation system
and this in itself will be a labor re
quiring the most painstaking care and
judgment. Certain improvements are
necessary and with the attenuated
resources, these too will form a pro
blem. Theirs is a task which, in a
sense, is like fitting the square peg
into the round hole. If they perform
their duties conscientiously nnd with
a due regard for the public weal their
burden will not be light and the best
that is in them must be given to the
end that good government will prevail.
As before remarked, we have a good
council, we believe, and they are fac
ing many trials nnd difficulties in the
performance of the duties to which we,
the voters, have appointed them. They
aco our choice, out of the many who
offered themselves, ;uid it is now mani
festly our duty to lend them what aid
we can in the difficult labors which
are before them We are the sponsors
for their future acts and we may not
justly wash our hands of that respon
sibility und leave them to go their
way, while wo devote ourselves to the
task of criticising their failures or om
issions We have given them a difficult
job und are in duty bound to help
them over the hard places of which
they will encounter many.
A little moro cooperation than is
usually manifested between tho coun
cil and tho citizens will prove both
wholesome and beneficial. By no means
should we sit idly back and content
ourselves with being their judge and I
Jury. It Is our business they are look
ing after and If we want It run to the
hest advantage we have got to get In ,
and help wherever It Is possible by]
lending our aid and support to their
deliberations. The antagonistic atti-I
tnde toward the council which has been
|so long prevalent in this community
i should be "nee and for all. forgotten
and the people should by all means
help the council to discharge Its duties
to the best advantage, especially in the
face of thep resent extreme situation.
WATTERSON ON WAR
What else Is the dropping of a bornh 1
Into the heart of n city hut murder'’ ■
If tlie American embassv had been
destroyed and the Hon Myron T
Herrick, the American ambassador,
killed, what might not the government
of the I’nited States with ns good
reason as the Kaiser's imperial govern
inient had to authorize flic throwing of
! tile bombs in Paris have the right to
.take Count von RernstolT. the German
ambassador to the top of the Wash
ington monument or the ^ome "f the
capltol and fling him headlong to the
earth. Th« murder would not be more
heinous !n the one case than In the
i other.
ft is murder, pure and simple; in its
authors cold-blooded and calculated:
,in its victims cruel and wanton; such
■ inly as we read of in tales of Iroquois,
tlie Senecas, and the WaA'ondottes The
ghosts of tlie braves look on from tlieii
j happy hunting ground amazed
We have called it the war of the
kaisers Rut It is not war It is the
i' dance of death after the hantpiet of

of heaven and established the rule of

VALUE OF SELF-CONTROL.
_
Kvery act we perform, whether vol
untary or in voluntary, necessitate* a
nervous discharge—an expenditure of
nervous energy, which must be replac
ed by the food we assimilate
There is no individual however
strong his hody. however good his di
! ceetion. however careful he may select
i Pis food—-there is no man who can
partake as freely as he would of every
• leasure offered and not use up more
nervous energy than he can generate
l\nd this fact is so well known empiri
■ ally that it hardly needs scientific en
1 dorsement.
Suppose we look at the other side

I highest morality the complete adjust -
j tnent of acts to ends. }3y ids clean
. living he succeeds in inhibiting in
j voluntary nervous action. He assimi
lates the food tie eats, and lie eats tile
| food best suited to him His goal is
; Self-Control -the crowning achieve
ment of all human endeavors
A celebrated French mathematician
compared self-control to the almost
j noiseless action of a top, when at its
j greatest spinning speed—calling it an
“equilibrium mobile,” and contending
that it was not possible to maintain
j sueli a condition for auy length of time.
In his analogy be overlooked the fact
l that what might lie a long time for a
top with a certain motive power, would
be a short time for a top with greater
force behind it—he forgot that what one
j man might regard us self-control
would not lie so considered by a stron
ger man And here is the crux of the
matter. The more one strives after
self-control, the stronger one becomes

B L. There, manager of -ho Alaska-|
Gastlneau Mining Company at Juneauj
is advocating the adoption of the "olty|
manager" plan for conducting the af-1
fairs of towns. lie believes that it
results in hotter and more economical
government of the towns than any
other svstem It also does away with
sill local politics and abolishes sinecure
positions for favorites of the "boss."
There are now seventeen cities In tills
country which have adopted the sys
tem and all are i .ore prosperous than
formerly Other cities have expressed
the desire to try the manager plan as
soon as competent men can he secured.
The big freight steamship Delhi, of
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company,
which was wrecked on the outer edge
of a jagged reef of rocks at the south
end of Sumner strait, near Wrangell,
is the latest monument to the lack of I
lights for the aid of navigating Al
askan waters The Delhi, yvhich was
a wooden hull, struck at low tide while
running at full speed The crew of
twenty-four men escaped in small
boats when it was seen that the steam
er was too badly damaged to permit of
hope of floating her The Delhi was
built at Winslow. Wash., in ISOii. and
was valued at ?2j0.000.
Tlie Humboldt Steamship Company)
i- reported to have settled its $50,000
damage suit against the other steam
ship companies for $20,000. Tlie Hum
boldt company charged that the \lask t
Steamship Company. the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company, the North
Pacific Wharves «* Trading Company
and the Pacific and Arctic Railroad i
and Navigation company had entered
into a conspiracy to destroy the bust- j
ness of the Humboldt company. The j
case was to have been tried before
Judge Jennings during the coming term
• >f court. The cases have been before)
tlie courts for more than two years.'
The settlement of the case out of [
court comes as a surprise as the de-1
fendant companies were represented j
by six of the strongest legal firms on
the Pacific Coast, including Richard
Ballinger, of Seattle, and I,. P. Shack
leford. of Juneau.

The Juneau land office has lendered '
nn adverse decision in the application 1
if the Mataituska Coal Mining and |
I >■ v i lopment Company for title to
1.2H0 acri'B of coal land in the Mala
nuska district. The group under con-j
test is commonly known as the Mun
ley group. The application for title
was rejected by the land office on the
charge that the locators did not make
preparations for the mining of the
coal. The charge that the locators had
| failed to prepare to mine coal is re
garded by the locators as a subterfuge ;
on the part of the government to refuse
title. They claim that as the govern
ment had prohibited the sale of coal
and was seeking every avenue fur ex
cuses to cancle the locations they were
not warranted in continuing the devel
opment of the claims beyond the work
! done three years ago.
