NOME, ALASKA. DEC. 29, 1916
Misery love3 company, and it helps a
little, though not much, to read that
thev are having a blizzard back east
with train wrecks, ship wrecks and
othen troubles,
Germany holds the most captured
teri'iLuiy ana t-ngiand controls the
sea. It would appear that sea power
i« superior to luuu power tor England
insists on having her way in the plies
which may result in the conclusion ot
the war. Moreover she non seems
lisely to dominate the situation.
The Eos Angeles Times remarks
that when oi | an and Uussia coiieluuo
the task of making an "open door" in
China it nil.’ resemble the back -n
trance to an Eskimo igloo. And those
who have seen an igioo know the’v

door alter the Kusso-Japanese have
done their perfect work.
Probably President Wilson nev°r
heard of us and never will, never’.he
less we wish him well on the occasion
ot ms 3iA.ietti birthday anniversary
and hope that he will live as long as
he has possession of all his faculties
and while lving that he will accom
plish all he wants to accomplish. Put
we uo wish that the spirit would mo "e
him to send the army of th*e Ended
States into Mexico to wipe out the
insults ottered to this country in the
past Liuee years and to restore orler
in our deranged neighbor's house.

The war seems at a standstill on
all fronts pending the discussion of a
peace conference with the exception
of Koumania. There the Germans are
pressing hard to gain the entire
length of the Danube. They seem like
ly to win both banks of this priceless
waterway long before any peace will
be concluded. After they obtain their
object probably they will be as oh
stinate in holding it as England is in
demanding that Germany give tip
Belgium and pay the Belgians an in
demnity.
It is a curious study in psychology
to run ever the pre-election ex
changes and note the prophecies re
gaining the size of the vote the vari
ous candidates were going to have
and then to compare the estimates
with what they actually got. Wilsrn
was going to carry New York, NT ’w
Jei«ey anu Illinois surely, along with
others, according to Vance Mcf’jr
mirk, the democratic campaign bj-is.
In these states as a matter of fact
he ran a very poor second. The dem
ocratic leader did not seem to dare to
claim for Wilson the western states
which he did carry. It did not seem
possible that Kansas would go for
Wi'son, or California either. Thr
national ekctmii was luu ut surprises
ana uncertain.ies but tun more so th in
our election of delegate in A1 isVi.
Bet'oie electua some of the sjuU r
enthusiasts ul Jun.uu Sign.a Hear'
names to statements which declared
postlt'vely that the democratic nam
uii.-e woUiu cuny .lie ursi uivnuon n>
over tiiteen bundled plurality. '£he
returns showed that he had polled only
a third of that. Other estimates put
out over s.gnuiures either as an hon
est expression ot opinion or for cam
paign purposes claimed that Wiokyr
sham would run three hundred behind
his oppon :it in the second, five hun
dred behind in the fourth and a cou
ple of hundred short in the third. In
reality lie d... none of these things
bui on the contrary he carried 'he
second and third divisions by hand
some plu.alities and made a stand off
In the fourth.
The upshot of the matter in the
whole country seems to be that them
is a tai go lUuepenuent Vole, larger than
the managers ut either pat t> nad any
idt a of. It seems probable mat the
old methods ot putting up u tluusy
plulioim uo on, bei.eves m, naming a
candidate who suits the bosses and
beuiiug a bass drum will no longer
sei ve to elect a party ticket. In Al
aska the del.gale whu seems to have
been re-eleeied by the narrowest of
muigms should tuke unto himself the
lesson of the recent campaign and
Understand that he has Uo sinecure.
He hus undoubted ability und und has
been long enough at Washington to
know how to gel things done. If h«
uses this ability and knowledge for the
herein ot Alaska aim her people the
only limit to his tenure of office is the
lengvii ot ins life. It he neglects his
constituents through luck of interest
or tor otiier reasons he will never
hold office for Alaskans again. 'ie
has hud his warning. Many hundreds
who voud for him two years ago de
serted him in the recent election. Cut
if he does all that he can do. all that
his talents warrant us in believing
ne ca.i uo, ms loriuFr supporters will
doubtless return to him again and
stay by him so long as his public
performances warrant their allegience.
After March the fourth there will
be a democratic president in the Whitt
House but coi y^ss will no longer ho
democratic und there ure reasons for
believing that about half of the fed
eral office holders In Alaska will fret
their blue ticket. Ill some Alaska
