NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 3, 1917.
An Australian has invented u ma
chine that is capable of milking fifty
cows an hour. It may be ull right for
the dairyman but how about the
cowe? Maybe they will learn after a
while that this is a hard world and
that the cry of the times is for more I
spsed.
Politics is what it is and human
nature is what it is. The mass of hu- |
inanity is easily deceived by a cer- |
tain pseudo frankness and demo-'
gaguey and then the public gets
fooled once more. Some of the popu
lar idols always have been of very
impure clay but the people learn it
only after many slaps. Lincoln was
right when he aaid you cun fool all
the people part of the time, it is
easy. The only gleam of light in a
democracy is that you can’t fool ull
the people all the time. When enough
crooked work has been done the ma
jority finally sees it and turns the
iascals out. ?
The cnavassing board has completed
its labors and declared Wickersham
• ntltled to the certificate of election,
but with something of a doubt in
•heir minds as to the wisdom of their
decision. They did not issue the cer
tificate at once as might have been
done under other conditions but al
lowed the losers, or more partcularly
the loser, plenty of time to resort to
the court in order to convert the
plurality against him to a plurality in
his favor. The law is a mysterious
mechanism and at times make3 black
seem white to the layman. Oh, well,
there is one court, and then there is
another, and then there is congress,
and there are plenty of able lawyers
on one side as well as the other. There
is a lot of uncertainty in life anyway. |
The moral now seems to be that the j
people should elect a man by a big
majority. But they somteimes do this
only to find by his conduct that they
should never have voted for him at all.

A retired rear admiral of the Uni- I
ted States navy, Chauncey Thomas by J
name and presumably old fashoned
and fond of his country’s honor, has j
gone on record in a recent number of
Outdoor Life aa saying that America '
is rapidly becoming an effimtnate
country.
He presented a strong indictment.
v\ e api<ai to be an inefficient, im
provident nation made up in large
part of a singulally short-sighted, fast
going, extravagant people. Nobody
can deny that. Outcries against the
hig'i cost of IKing fill the air but

the scale of h ng Is unaltered.
Throughout the land luxuries are
treated as necessities. Economies en
forced upon people of oilier nations,
find the pinching plight produced by
carnagi ti aeh no lesson to the easy
going in ilii as of our country.
The old epicurean cry "while we
live, let us live" is invoked seemingly
by nearly all. There will be no to
morrow, no old age. hot us spend
all we earn and all we can borrow.
There will be no hard times though,
except the fools, all know perfectly
well that hard times are coming and
quickly too. They would not be ao
hard or come so quickly if people
lived less extravagantly and saved
mere money.
Eut one of the chief weaknesses of
Ihe nation today is lack of manhood,
lack of impulse and courage to resist
wiong, to resent affronts and to
maintain personal and national hon- :
or. There la too an increasing ten- !
dency towards cheap pleasures and
a disinclination to seek the best there
is in life.
As Admiral Thomas epigrammat
ically puts it, “If we are to survive
as a people, we Ann Means must have
more boxing and less baseball, more
leather and less lit. more drilling
and less dancing mere artillery and
less alimony, more men and fewer
Miss Nanceys."
The Eost-Xntellgepeer while ack
nowledging the truth of the indict
ment, in part, thinks that at bottom
Americans ure still sound and cun be
entirely saved b> more drilling and
less dancing." That is the paramount
prescription for effeminate Ameirean
ism. Compulsory military training
mill make men out of Miss Nanceys
and substitute strength for weakness.
Heavy-handed, virile men outnum
ber the weaklings on this American
earth and robust manhood continues
to abound. How to waken Ameri
canism, how to rouse it to a sense
of its duties and its dangers becomes
an increasingly urgent problem today.
Thinkers and writers of the out
spoken type of Admiral Thomas un
doing theri part. Roosevelt has
sounded and is stil! sounding his
stimulating slogans »and few virile
souls anywhere an- marking time. To
the federal government, however, is !
given the opportunity and power be- j
vond ail others combined, to kindle
anew the 3pirit of Americanism. This
can be done by preparedness, not for
war, but for the enforcement of peace
by putting the country in a position
to assert and uphold its rights in any
emergency and to command the
world's respect whatsoever conies. And
in the high places of our country we
need nun of virility, courage, honesty,
ability and power to act in a way to
stimulate the people to higher per
sonal ideals.

WASHINGTON, A spo^oi report
