NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 6, 1917.
Golf is working up quite a decent
Btauuing in the eyes of the law. lie
cmtly judge Baluwin in the circuit
court at Un.eago rendered a decision
that gwlf is -a “beneficial .recreation"
Hither thun an “amusement.” This
ought to add a few more Sunday de
votees of that sport to those who
have been following their bent with
out the solid backing of a judicial
decision.
As the United Slates is not at war
with Germany it is hard to understand
ju-d what right our country has to
aeize German ships interned in our
harbors. Some time 3ince one of our
oliculs was quiled as sayi-ig that
America hau no control over the Ger
man vessels except to prevent their
escape to sen. The break tn d.plo
mane relat.ons can huidly have
changed the status of those ships.
Guiuun ■’onsuls are still at tiled pos..s,
war has not been declared. If evi
dence had been forthcoming that the
Germans, or any large number of
them, were to try to escape, even a
layman can see why the merchantmen
had to be seized. But there hardly
could not have 3uch evidence, for
report has It that the machinery of
piuclically all the seized ships had
been smashed prior to the appearance
of the Americans on board. While
confessing ignorance of the law by
which the seizures were made we may
be sure that our government did not
take that sLp without perfectly good
gioui.ds for doing 30. The admints
Hut ion is proceeding deliberately uud
rightly, we may be sure.
Germany should know full well
whut its poi.cy on the sea will lead
to. And it would seem to be the part
ol Wisdom not to enrage the Japanese
nation beyond a reasonable limit.
Japan Is somewhat touchy as to it3
rights and dignity and German ships
have sunk at least two Japanese
vessels within a fortnight. The Jap
anese know how to make war Just us
well as the Germans, and they are
no' tired now und disheartened us the
Teutons must be. Should Japan get
thoroughly arous, d and decide to send
u compact army of a half mill.on to
the west front to seitle scores for
ships sunk It would be no feat of Im
agination to conceive of the German
wall of steel being broken down and
thp gap Immediately filled by sturdy
little men who could go forward faster
than the Germans could go buck. With
the wordl ugaints her Germany cannot
long tk.'ei the debacle which must
follow the transgression not only of
the moral coue, but us well the rules
of prudence.
Gorman* have now deserted all ap
peal to right and propose to base
theln. hops* .at tin Xutura on might, if
tbeir. -recently . assumed attUud- on
submarine wej farue be. correctly
guegsd- All well und good. Tout
be ug mo, if Germans, and more pur
llruiuriy Ueimaus of American cn.1
,.H0iil^, UeW UMietill ill tile OU.teU
au.ea show themselves uj enemies
to this country they should be imrae
to feel the meaning of force und es
ptculiy on tnoir persons. Ginn the
evil uui broke ou., and subseuuertly
during some dark months in the
north, now and then was heard the
mice ot treason. The unswer was
such us could be most readily under
stood by the uuilesl—u cuui oi lur and
teatheis and a tree vide to the edge
ot the town perhaps, or maybe u
visit of a committee of suqh of the
cl.'sens as hud no*, gone to the front
und a good noise whipipng with a
frw words of admonition. These
generally audieed. When the country
is in uuugtr tnere is no time to haggle
about niceties. Traitors deserve but
on* form of treatment und this is cun
ctueu to be proper by all the peoples
o' me earth, if there be such a
thing as the Society of the Iron Cross
In America whose members ure to
rueuung trouble tor the United Sta'es
by agilutiun among the ulreudy era
blt'ered Mexicans then these traitors,
or public enemies, should be dealt
with harshly. If there ure Germun
Amencuns in our navy who love the
futherlund more than the bind of their
adoption und who pull seacocks to
sink our vessels und commit other
treasonable acts they should at once
be shot and thrown overboard. It
Is hard to understand how their ship
mates can catch themu t their deviltry
unn rcirain troin braining them right
on the spot. Tolerance of another’s
rt’'gi(-n or politics is indeed com
mcuuubie but there is no possible
ex'enuation for treason. The chances
are that forty nine out of fifty peo
pie whose sympathies have been with
Ui rmany us against the ulhes up to
the tlms of ths recent stand by the
Umted Slates will be true to the
1’rtied States as against Germany.
But If trouble comes and they do not
so Rland they should be made to re
cline or assume any other attitude l e
Ttling tmliors who have received
r.eit Just ce'erts. Germany Is strong
ind appeals o force. If we must *n
swer her %.w it can be only by force
and we cannot have strength if ns
a ration we ure weakened by the rot
of treason at home.
