NOME. ALASKA, OCTOBER 18, 1916.
Conceit is as characteristic of na
tions us it is of individuals. Almost
\eiy man is mure or less conceited
nu io>es to took around him anu see
other men to whom he is ,or thinks
in. is su, I.1.U1. aua mere is a national
once,-, aiso, winch is as lull of the
same quality of egotism, of self ex
ultation, as the most conceited lndi
viuual.
We see this national conceit well
illustrated In the attitude of the
northern races of Europe toward the
i uthern European races and In the
attitude of the northern American
people toward the people of Mexico
and South America.
Like iadivioua.a there are few na
ions that are free from It,
Thu citizen of the United .Sti.'cs
talks l.ghtl yof "Dagoes" and "Greas
• is" and is thoroughly convinced that
in some way, he is vastly their su
perior.
The very units used to designate
the citizens of other races are terms
conveying an opprobious meaning.
"Dago” and "Chink" and "Greaser"
and "Squarehead” are terms denoting
inferiority and Intended in common
use to convey no other idea than of
inferiority.
One would expect that In a nation
like the United States where there
is a great congregation of the rep
resntatives of many races, and a con
sequent tendency toward closer under
standing, that the Inclination to look
upon aliens as of inferior clay would
not be so pronounced as In nations
where there Is less contact with for
eigners. But, such Is not the case.
There ; r<- few nations which hold
in greater contempt the citizens of
ther nations, who view them as In
fer: : rs, than do the people of the Uni
te! States. The average American
< . zen is no leas convinced of his own
uperiorlty over the "Greasers,” for
instance, or the "Dago1 ‘than the cul
ture boasting citizens of Germany are
ertaia that they are immeasurably
superior to the Russians.
Not only are they prone to think
that they are superior in a mental
and physical sense but are also very
‘titK * inclined to consider themselves
morally superior—and this regardless
of statistics or other evidences which
d ^ the national moral tendencies.
The American considers that the
Air. .-.can city is morally superior to
the South American city or the a$
cirnt capitals of Europe, when the
truth of the matter is that New York
and Chicago lack no vice, no moral
evil that is found in the supposed su
perlatively wicked "gay Paree” or
Vienna or London.
The most pretentious cities inhabit
< d by northern Europeans or north
in Americans can give wholesale
lessons in iniquity to the whole of the
counties their people despise.
New York and London contain as
much evil as the whole of South Am
erica. Berlin and Vienna commit
more sin in a given period of time
than the whole of Spain and Chicago
and San Francisco and other large
North American cities have more
robberies and murders in a year than
J whole nations of the races they do
splsc do In five years.
1 NEW BATTLESHIP
COMMISSIONED TODAY
International News Service.
NEW YORK. OcL 17.—The super
| dreadnaught Philadelphia, the only
tattleshlp constructed under the old
naval program which was completed
I on time, will be formally added to the
national naval forces this afternoon.
The ceremonies attending the commis
sioning of the giant warship will be
simple and no particular demonstra
tion will occur.
The Philadelphia, in addition to be
ing the only battleship completed on
schedule, also has the distinction of
having cost one million dollars less
I 1 P
| than the government estimate.
SKELETON FOUND ON
SEATTLE OFFICE BUILDING
SEATTLE. Oct. 17.—The finding of
the flesh denuded skeleton of a man
on the top of one of the prominent
buildings of the city has created a
i sensation that Is giving the newspa
pers a chance to display startling
headlines with great benefit to the cir
culation.
The skeleton is that of a man who
hanged himself more than eight
months ago and whose disappearance
occasioned an extended search by the
law officers covering many weeks.
How the remains continued undiscov
ered for so long a period Is some
t.iing of a mystery.
