NOME, ALASKA, MAY 3, 1917.
When the author was in 1-ondon
and 1‘aris in the summer of 1316 a:
subject that was uppermost in the
minds of the entente publicists was
whether Shoes nations should not an
nounce that they would make no pi ace
with the Hohenzi'llern dynasty. The
proposed policy was not without em
l-arrassments growing out of dynastic
considerations and the nature of their
governments.
The- United States as the greatest
republic of all time and from its very
beginning the foremost interpreter of
democratic institutions, can make
this demand with better grace than
the entente powers. There would be
a "peace without victory” if the house
of Hohenzollern, which from the
time of Frederick the Great has
cursed all nations, (the most of all
Germany) and which added the rape
of Belgium to that of Silesia, was
permitted to continue its baleful in
fluence upon the world and the growth
of democratic institutions. Neither
the Lusitania nor Belgium crime will
he fully atoned while the Hohenzol
lern reman in power.
The United States has no cause of
quarrel with the German people.
The "mystic chords of memory” re
mind us that they are our friends, and
their biood is so intermingled with our
own that a lasting enmity between
these two peoples Is or ought to be
unthinkable. If they have sustained
the kaiser and his war it is because
they have been deluded by the bn se
lf's s fiction that their great nation
was -suddenly and 'treacherously at
tacked by England, France and Bus
sia. They will at no distant day
know the truth and “the truth shall
set them free.”
Germany’s high qualities of cour
age, steadfastness, and infinite-sacri
fice are worthy of all praise. Only a
callous heart could fail to be touched
by their present Infinite suffering.
I venture the prediction that no
nation will before this century Is
ended profit more by the stupendous
sacrifices of this war than the land
of Goethe, Schiller .and Bach, Bee
thovcn and Wagner. It only needs to
he relieved from the ’incubus of Hoh
enzoltern tyranny to become an In
finitely greater people than ever Its
poets, prophets or seers have dreamed.
With the Holienzollern dominating
its destinies with mediaeval despot
ism, it will not have a true friend in
the world. A truly democratic Ger
many will, despite all present bitter
ness be cordially welcomed into the
full fellowship of the commonwealth
of nations.
The continuance of despotism is a
menace to democracy enct civilization.
As tlie cry rang through Europe In
1811 "Enough of Bonaparte” so now;
let the cry now sound through civil
ization with reference to the Holen
zollorn dynasty—"Ecrazoz I'infamo."
—New York Times.
OUR PRESIDENT—ONE FLAG!
—James M. Beck in New York Times.
A group of narrow-minded, hair
splitting, half-baked Americans In the
United States senate, German apolo
gists on the one side and craven weak
lings of the pacificist school in the
other, succeeded in the closing hours
of congress 'in talking to death the
administration's measure empower
ing the president to establish armed
neutrality on the seas ami otherwise
safeguard and uphold American
lights.
Well may an outraged country hang
its head in shame for this wretched
reprehensible performance and let
loose its wrath at the odious exhibi
tion of national perfidity and dishon
or in high quarter.
To th'is commonwealth’s disgrace,
Wesley 1- Jones aligned himself with
the obstructionists and lifted an un
timely voice in extenuation of bar
baric acts of warfare. *.t is h'is indi
vidual privilege to make common
cause with poltroons, if he must, but
this state, bearing it"? Kftiest Amer
ican name, disowns him in that role
and disavows the sorry part he play
ed.
■Whether Woodrow Wilson required
the power and credit ho asked, is
beside the question. It was enorg'i
that he asked it. Immediately it be
came the plain, patriotic duty to
grant what he asked to the full and
in a manner that would forcibly ami
without the shadow of a doubt im- [
press upon the world the perfect unity I
of this nation. Anything short of a i
ready and responsive compliance with
the executive’s request meant falling
short of national duty in this emer
gency. Whether the president re
quired, or did not require, the addi
tional powers called for, he needed
for the country's sake, an expression
of congressional confidence which i
such an enactment would unmista
kably give.

As It is, nonaction proclaims to tlie
world, though wrongly, a congress, If
not a country, divided against Itself,
Withholding authority from the presi
dent and unwilling to meet eventual
ities Impending! And alt because of
a motley contingent of mollycoddles
and malcontents made potent for mis
chief by a palseying system of un
limited debate In the United States
senate!
Once upon a time a drunken sena
tor, obstructing legislation by holding
the floor to air his grievances as the
hour of final adjournment approached,
was forcibly seized by the sergeant -
at-arms and removed to the cloak
room, upon autocratic order of the
presiding officer, and the appropria
tion thus saved. Stern treatment of
' like kind administered to the liyplien
ate-fearing Stone and his measly fol
lowers would have spared the blot
now put upon the nation.
The rost-Tntelligencer has believed |
that congress should be kept in con
tinuous session. With the possibility
of war fast developing into a proba
bility or certainty, it seemed the part
of national wisdom. But the specta
clcep resented at Washington these
past few disgraceful days has greatly
modified that view. The less congress
is in evidence, if Its Americanism is
to be besmirched by unpatriotic out
bursts and Its duties obstructed by a
loud and uncontrollable majority, the
hotter for the country and the safer
the guidance of the ship of state.
What the nation Is demanding Is
an affirmative foreign policy, vigor- I
ously enforced in the protection of !
American rights. The country is be- j
hind the president and prepared to !
give him its support to the last dol
lar and the last man in resisting ag
gression on sea or land. It would
have him add to his vested powers
any powers that may be necessary
to command respect for American
lives and the American flag. The
time for strict accountability Is at
hand and permits no /wavering or
hesitation.
Stand up for Old Glory and sound
the slogan, America first and America
always!

A New Back for an Old One.
The back aches at times with a dull,
indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region of the kid
neys, and again the loins are so lame
that to stoop is agony. No use to
rub or apply a plaster to the back if
the kidneys are weak. You cannot
reach the cause. Alaskans residents
would do well to profit by the follow
ing example:
Mrs. M. L Davis, 296 Weidler St.,
Protland, Ore.,s ays: “For years I had
a great deal of trouble with my back
and kidneys. Sharp pains would catch
me and It seemed as If my back was
giving out on me. My kidneys acted
too frequently, causing much annoy
ance. Doan's Kidney Pills rid me of
the pains. My back got strong and
well and my kidneys became normal.
I have had no severe attacks of that
kind since."
Price, EOc, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney jretiiedy—get'
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Davis had. Foster-MUburn Co.)
