NOME, ALASKA. MAR 9, 1916.
Now that congress has finally
determined to support the presi
dent in his foreign policy, the fu
ture course of events will doubt
less be watched with far greater
interest by the genalality of the
American people who probably
recognize that we are now defi
nitely committed to a course preg
nant with numberless possibili
ties of danger and which permits
of few alternatives in the event
of Germany calling our hand on
the submarine question. There
is no denying that rejecting
the resolutions intended to pre
vent careless or unthinking Am
eiicans from placing themselves,
’and incidentally the nation, in
jeopardy, congress has taken a
step of the most serious charact
er and one w'hich may ultimately
lead to conditions of grave mo
ment. In many respects the ac
tion of congress is nothing less
than an invitation to trouble for
the reason that it is an open en
dorsement of a policy which can
have no other effect under pres
ent conditions than to create
grave friction with another power
over a particularly uncertain and
debatable subject. This may not
be the president’s view of the sit
uation. In his chosen role of
champion of neutral rights he
probably feels that he is firmly
supported, by just and indisputa
ble principles and is therefore
fully warranted in his insistence
even though such insistence may
lead the nation into war. Consid
ered in this aspect his position is
unassailable. But it may very
reasonably be suggested that, un
der present circumstances and
conditions, it is veritably like de
liberately walking into danger on
the ground that one has an inde
fensmle right to do so if one feels
like it. Truly, such proceedure
seems singularly like that of the
Irishman, who when warned that
he would be in danger of being
burned alive if he did not hur
riedly escape from his burning
residence, replied: What do I
need to hurry for, haven’t I got
got my life insured?’’ The view
of the president seems to be that
because we are backed by the
right we are perfctly justified in
proceeding deliberately and with
direct intent into a known and
lecognized danger in the support
of that right. This is exactly the
view he is assuming when he
insists that Americans shall be
allowed to travel on the armed
ships of belligerent nations.
What the effects of this policy
will be it is impossible to foretell
but that it is very liable to cre
ate some exceedingly disagreeable
situations none can doubt who
have kept pace with the trend of
events since the commencement
o the war. If we are to judge
by the examples of ^hat period
it assuredly appears that the
question of whether we shall ulti
mately be involved in the war or
not depends solely on the good
judgment and common sense of
those of our citizens who may
have occasion to travel abroad.
Certes it is that the president is
deliberately leading the country
on a course that can have but one
conclusion in the event that Ger
many does not see fit to comply
with the demand that she observe
the so-called rule of nations.
PRESERVING NEUTRALITY
Boston Record.
Every man in this country
should pay heed to these frank
words of Theodore Roosevelt,
first printed in the Metropolitan
and now repeated by him in a
letter to the New York Tribune
in reply to a letter to that paper:
"The United States has signal
ly and culpably failed to keep its
promises made in the Hague con
ventions and to stand for right.
Instead, it has taken refuge in the
world old neutrality between
right and wrong which is always
so debasing for the man practis
ing it. As has been well said, such
a neutral is the ignoblest work
of God.”_
Mr. Roosevelt has |he courage!
to come right out an^ say what I
he means He is tho only man
important in public'Hie who has
shown such courage. Tt may not
have been a particu rly popular
attitude, and by th$t it stands
forth the more admi tjbly as evi
dence of moral courage.
Since the complications of the
war came to the foie the Uni
ted States, through the national
adminstration, has talked a great
deal about “preserving the rights
of neutrals.” As a n»tter of fact
the only "right of neutrals” this
country lias preserved is the right
to register a protest. Beyond that
the record is zero , K
W hen Belgium was overrun
and the “scrap of paper” was
cast to the winds, there was com
mitted as outrageous a breach of
rights of neutral^ history rec
ords. What* did* the United
States do to preseye Belgium’s
right, or to prevent a repetition of
similar offense against other neu
trals?
i Ships of neutrals have been
sunk, in arrogant disregard for
not only United States ships, but
those of Norway, Sweden, Hol
land, etc. What did the United
States do to preserve the rights
of this neutral shipping?
This country has been stuffed;
with fine phrases—"strict ac
countability,” etc.—which have
meant nothing. These phrases,
these boastful notes, have not
preserved the rights of neutrals.
They have arrayed this nation
on the side of wrong.

There’s one rubber
boot that has !
“made good’’ in
Alaska and that’s the
Goodrich
“HIPRESS’V
White Bcot
“With the Red-line
■ 'round the Top”
xT
You know that when a Boot
comes in and simply sweeps the country
like ‘‘JHIPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to
I he SOMETHING UN USUAL-for Alaska w'ear | \
I is the supreme test for Boot Quality.
\ White Goodrich “H_I PRESS” Boots actually wear longer than iron or steel!
A Y'ou don’t,have to half-sole them with leather —they far outwear hob
A nailed leather soles. ,
The reason for this unusual service is that “H1PRESS” are constructed by
an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned boot. They j
J are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Gf>odrich Auto Tires—
welded together under euormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
There’s nothing to come apart—they can’t leak, peel, crack or split!
They’re comfortable, too —shaped to the foot while its working. We
promise that once you start wearing White “HIPRESS” you’ll never be
satisfied with anything else.
And remember—there is but ONE “IMPRESS’* Boot—It has
a Red-Line ’round the Top.
DEALERS: If not already stocked on “HIPRESS** write at once for sample* and price*.
This u the best selling, best wearing Boot ever put into Alaska.
