NOME ALASKA NOV. 3 1916.
Democracy can’t seem to make It
stick more than one term at a time.
And yet they may.
Popular current saying; "I told you
so, uiun t X now”. Just what lhave
been Buying all summer.
What the "conceded" does not
seem to amount to much. The hnal
count is what decides the issue.
The Ilerald forecast of a "landslide"
for must Wilson must have been a
misprint. It should have read "back
sliue" tor Wilson.
The Ftepublicans will return to power
if at all in a chastened spirit and the
reactionists will doubtless remember
Armogeddon every time they are
tempted to look back.
At this distance It looks as if old
Farmer Corntassel didn't like the Idea
of an eight hour for a special sot of
men while he has to work from twelve
to fourteen. The canine in the manger
Is a great dog, and human nature is
gicat too.

I United tiu.es, notwithstanding is
prodigal distribution of farms, has 254,
845,580 acres ot public land, scattered
| ihcugn twenty-nve states still open to
entry.
rtuvada contains 55,000,000 acres of
this land, Wyoming has 28,000,000 acres
and there aro large tracts In Utah,
incw Mexico, Arizona, Montana and
uregon. There are smaller areas la
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
\v usmuguin, Alabama, Florida, Missies
lppl and Louisiana, and a lew tracts
In Michigan, Missouri and Oklahoma.
The value of these lands Is largely
consequent upon irrigation or drainage
projects. Much of It is In arid or
serai-arid districts. In five of the
stutcsuTigaiion wall be indispensable
to the raising of crops. In the South
much of the public lund Is in swamps,
requiring drainage before It can be
utilized. t
Forty years ago, however, the rich
lands of the Dakotas and Minnesota
H«_ie lvgaruod as ligmly as the arid
and scmi-arld lands of today. The
government gave away hundreds of
tliousunus of acres of the rich black
I loam, much of now worth from $100
to 8200 an acre, and at that time re
| garued us a part of the great American
desert.
lingution has changed Western des
erts to prouucuve soil. 'Hie practical
use oi much oJ the public land now
remaining is consequent upon reclama
tion development. When this Is ae
clomplished it will be as desiruble 'or
farm cruops and fruit culture as eny
of the lands Uncle tiam gave away.
JOSEPHUS THE GOAT
Josephus Daniels has been pilloried
-11J cartooned and carticatured and
otherwise subjected to contempt and
iuueuie and scorn so long and so per
sistently that sympathy must ultimate
ly be aroused for the poor man and
mayhap turn Into respect and admira
tion—If the editorial sneers and pic
tcilal onsloughts be kept up and he live
.e a ripe old age. There is a limit to
most things, but Josephus begins to
appear immune to rational limit.
Of course, every cabinet must have
.is scapegoat. Josephus is It. He has
been it from the moment he enforced
total abstinence aboard ship. Appar
ently ho cannot get over being It. He
was the goat when lined up with the
pacificists and Is the goat no less slnco
bravely and accommodatingly in line
for naval preparedness. As If he had
not already enough to bear, he fell Im
mediate heir to all the goatship shed by
Wiilliam Jennings Bryan when that
llustrious patriot Abandoned the ship
and sped Chatauquaward, and his bur
den of goatship has steadly Increased
and multiplied In all the weary Interin. i
Today he Is carrying a staggering load j
of it. Every good word for the admin- i
istration Is coupled wlith an 111 word,
if not the short and ugly word, for the I
administration’s goat. Love of Wood- j
row runs in the same channel with |
loathing of Josephus. To cherish the
one Is to despise the otu»r. Meine {
goes Kpubllcan and Josephus la Uw
goat. Never in annals mu gouivup |
find so shining a mark, become so
chronic, stick to Its victim so tenac
iously or pursue him so relenlessly and
— tnsensatcly.
A goat without end is Josephus.—
