WHY NO r?
For the past few days
Nome has had a do Lice chief
-b
who has tried to clean up
> r»£ a*'"'
lems, the natlv sireet-waik
■valkers, out m me end re
ceived no co-operation from
mthorities in charge ot the
nilitary police statiened in
Nome.
In tact, there has . been
considerable friction and
dragging of feet at the
mere mention ot the sub
ject of cooper at ic n on this
□articular question, accord
ing to the city police.
Chief of Police John Ber
ry has today given notice
to the dty clerk that he is
leaving by plane tomorrow
for Fairbanks where, he
says, “The military author
ities at least cooperate with
the city police.”
It does bring up the
thought: “Why not here?”
OUR LEGISLATORS
The Second Division can
well be proud of those of its
citizens who have express
ed their willingness to take
upon themselves the ob
ligations necessary to the
carrying on of the business
and law-making in the Ter
ritory.
Both the Democratic and
Republican parties are well
represented and the voters
>f the Division will, in the
General Election, which ss
being held on the 12th of
September to pick the dele
gation to represent the Sec
ond Division in the Terri
torial Legislature.
This delegation of sen
ators and representatives
can succeed in obtaining
for their Division, all that
is due, only if wre let them
know the requirements of;
the various parts of the Di-,
vision, and give them some
idea what is expected of
them.
The time is now right for
preparations for post-war
plans for Alaska, in a tri^yj
cooperative and coordinat-:
ed effort.
By the time our Alaska
Territorial Legislature con
venes, the war will have
taken quite a turn into the
countries of our enemies,
with the possibility that
one or both may possibly
have received the knockout
blow.
We hope by that time
our censorship of news
channls will have cleared
:hanges will have cleared
temperatures, boat move
ments, and other informa
tion, the peopD of Alaska
should be permitted to
read and know without
further delay and censor
ship
In the plans for the fu
ture of Alaska there ap
pears such items as the de
velopment of gold, tin,
coal, oil, etc.,, throughout
he Territory, andin par ti
ular the Second Division.
Our legislators can do
much for post-war Alaska.

City, North Dakota, and has taken
summer work at State Teacher
Collge of Moorehead, Minnesota.
She has taught Tor several years
in the primary grades and has
come to Nome to take chargt of
the Third and Fourth grade work.
Because of the long, unavoid_
able delay of the arrival of Jake
Overbaugh, who was to be the
janitor again this year, the School
Board appointed George Jones to
act in his place. Mr. Jones was
the janitor for several years and
h immediately began th^ work of
getting the school building ready
for the opening of school. The
whole building is taking on the
fresh, clean, varnished look that
such a janitor works upon it.
These teacners nave come from
large schools. They have met wi^h
success in their different teach
ing fields. They come to Nome
because they hdve longed to live,
in Alaska. They have come pre
pared to serve our community by
giving of their talents to our
school that the Nome School may
give to our boys and girls the
best possible education. Both Mr.
and Mrs Angell and Miss Olsen
and Miss Beeber have had noth
ing bu twords of praise foj£.ouri
fine school building and its splenj
did equipment. This, however!
does not give fo them homes ir|
which to live.
The housing aq uation is seri
