NOME, ALASKA, MARCH Z 1917.
Just now the spots on the sun are
frightfully enlarged, they tell its., and j
account for the cold weather we had, |
the warm weather we are having and j
the bad weather we are going to have, j
If that Isn't enough the spots will last ■
nearly two jears more.
Somewhere the water is running
and the grass is coming up green,
and the birds are excitedly twittering,
and there are no long winters, and no ;
tense nerves, and no bitterness, and :
no suspicion, and no backbiting, and
no social aapirat.ons, and no politics,
and no human misery-, and also no
human beings are there. Oh, well.
The Mexican situation has now re
turned to bother Mr. Wilson, and he
himself is probably mostly to be
blamed. He forced the strongest man
n Mexico from the presidency on a J
moral qualm and then tried to set i
that nation to rights with white j
gloves on. It would appear that even 1
.Mr. Wilson's mi st ardi.
admirers can see now that he blund
ered terribly in not setting -he Mex
ican house in order when there was
nothing el3e to do. Now the chances
are that Uncle Sam will have his i
hands more than full. The way to do j
any Job Is to do it and not talk j
about It too long.
It may be worth while to call at
tention to the fact that the Japanese
embassy in Washington yesterday es
tablished a precedent when it put forth
a statement on its own initiative
denying that Japan had taken any
part in the German-Mexican plot
agc'nst the United States and that
the governmetn at Tokio would spurn
with contempt any offer by Germany
or Mexico to participate in such a
conspiracy.
This action on the part of the Jap
anese embassador may have been
contrary to the rules of diplomatic
procedure and all that, but it was
frank and straight forward and doubt
lies showed just where Japan stood
and where her ambassaodr to Wash
ngtoa stands today. And this Is
something that we now know was

declined that his life work had ended
In disaster. In the light of recent
events it is no wonder that the Ger
mans wrecked their interned ships
and showed in other ways that they
expected war, as of course the Berlin
authorities must have been aware that
the von Eckhardt letter was known
to our state departmnet. Verily a
guilty enoscience needs no accuser.
A subscriber and well-posted read
er who knows his England well calls
our attention to the fact that the name
of the present premier of Great Brit
tain is not an hyphenated cognomen.
In other words his surname is Georeg
and his Christian name is Lloyd. We
are glad to be set right in this mat
ter and in any other as well, for we
ore free to acknowledge that we do
not know very muon, to say nothing
of knowing it all. We had seen the
name printed in American papers
and magazines in the hypenated
form and supposed that it were cor
rect. In fact, In our copy of the
World's Almanac which is often a
chief source of our display of wisdom
the premier’s names are joined by an
hyphen and is given thus. David Lloyd
George. Now that we come to look
it it perhaps the almanac is right
after all. But then again perhaps
our kinel friend knows more about
it than the overworked editor of the
almanac. All editors are over-worked.
And the explanation given us as to
the origin of hyphenated names in the
old country Is rather convincing. Only
those of who come of rather pros
perous property-owning stock have
the hyphen. It comes mto the fam
ily tree when two inheritances and
family names descend ty a happy
chance to the same p- rson. Thus
Jones may reeeiv by inheritance
a large estate from his mother's side
with the injunction that the name as
well as the stock and estate must bo
perpetuated. H.s material gr.and
father's name was Smith, so now he
dutifully dubs himself, or maybe the
court doe3 it f >r him. Jones-Smith
And see how I ttuifully the theory
works out in the i se of the prime
minister. He comes of i stock of no
consequence whatever He is of low i
origin to put it baldy. Therefore the ,
hyphen cannot belong in his name
Quail erut demonstrandum. It is a
fine distinction, very ingenious and
interesting. But we will venture to
prophesy that Mr. George whether his
parents were very common,or whether
lie had any at all, will have a title
little short of duke if he live long
enough and they continue to hand out
titles for si rvices rendered. He may i
have had no ancestors but he will
be one himself if be lives long
enough and has children which sug
gests the possibility of a wife, and'
we haven't an idea whether he has |
one or not.

A .-Me t ear collided with a loaded
pie wagon with such force that the
$3U worth of pies, fresh from the
bakery, were scattered fir and wide
over the street and sidewalks. The
local gang of the vicinity was in the
midst of a sundlot gone of some sort
when tlie accident occurred. They
saw, they came and they conquered.
In a few minutes the pies, regarded
purely as treasure trove by the boys,
were raptured and devoured. By some
mysterious means the news of the
joyous disaster spread like lightning
