NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 16, 1917.
It is easy enough to see how the
presiueuual eleoucn coUiU have been
wen now Lhat it is all over. Any
body can see lhat ilr. Hughe.. could
hive earned tlie mipetiul of
California by the simple ana agree -
able expedient ot being mce to luiam
Johnson, it seems lhat the progres
sive senator-elect had about a quar
ter ot a million of votes which may
well be termed super-republican
tucked away in his vest pocket. They
Were his, to be cant at lus behest. A
proper recognition on the part of Mr.
Hugues ot this progiessive republican
vote ot winch Hiram Johnson was at
once the representative and the cus
torian, and Mr. Hughes would have
been president-elect today, or words
to that effect.
All of which la beside the ques'ion

question of lnlluencing the proletariat

There is doubtless a lot of rotten
connection between our WushntRtun
officials and W ail street in this bless
ed democratic administration Just us
there was during file long republican
regime. The only difference between
tlie two is that the republicans were
smarter regues and covered their
tiacks beyond ail hope of any trailer
like Hawsoti smelling them out. In
the Cleveland administration, if you
remember, there were the Benedict
rumors, and the gold retention scan
dals. The democrats really do uul
have enough practice at the public

the proper etlequelte and finesse.

have made a few thousands or a few
millions in Wall street. They have
but beaten gambit i s at their own
game and, ; a we hava said, it is a
crooked, rot.. r ganio.
As has ■ <"en tald, there i3 probably
no crime .n anything that these mon
haio bee 1 charged with doing. But
c.iaio is low thing except in those
raie cases where a crime is proved
tha' is irly technical and may bo
cinirely uni eprehensible. There is a
long stpp mini crime to that plane
wl ere every decent man is suppos.d

is meant the average American.

Inch lights never sees the abynss of
cr'me except from afar. And It is
th‘s higher morality that Amerlenas
expect from their leading men. In
Piesident Wilson they are not disap
pointed as to those important essen
tials. He is not 3trong in action, we
regret to say, but his virtue, his
honor is beyond question. However,
he is being closely hit by this Inves
tigation. His private and his official
family are charged not with crime
out with dUhonor. McAdoo, his son
in-law Bolling, his luother-ln-law;
Tumulty, his private secretary, are
charged with treason. Not the treas
on that is punishable at law but to
that finer, higher quality which is
only dimly, hut none the less sure
ly, perceived by the American people.
If these men are guilty their pun
ishment will be sohly deprivation of
office and a loss of public esteem.
They wil then sink hack into the ob
scurity or semi-obscurity from which
they came. But Wilson will be hurt,
the democratic party will be hurt
ami every good measure now planned
by the administration will be hurt.

been staged by a few Mew York
