NOME ALASKA SEPT. 12, 1916.
Th« efforts of the republican* to
steal some uf ibe credit won by the
democrat* by .'-eiting forth the claim
that ihe larger portion of the many
•XCCjilT Ji-gUflatJV* enactment* |l.'l**«-d
by thi. ilominant party were really
nothing more than republican meas
ures revampe-d and furbished up for
the occasion, seem* an extremely silly
and childish attempt to lielittle the
other fellow to conceal their own |
• nhortcornlngs.
Regardless uf who first proposed ihe
nlea* embodied in the democratic
legislativi program th« fact remain*
lhat tie democrats were ihe one* who
converted them into law and placed
them on the statute books where they
would be of benefit to t he nation.
This fact will assuredly not be lost
upon the voters when it come* to giv
ing credit where credit is due, re
gardless of how many claims are pul
in by Tin- followers of the (i ,<i. j*.
that tla democrats have Im-iii swiping
their peaches.
if we are lo accept th«- republican
claims, thej* is hardly on< c-ommend
* >||- legislative enactment of the
dcinociat* that was not hatched in a
.•publican ihink Ixix and given to the
world dining tla republican a-ginie. |
The fi dei ,| reserve banking act,
Ha part els post, the shipping bill and
practically every piece of constructive
legislation as well as preparedness
and the child labor law are all claim
ed as measures which had been pro
posed by the republicans at varying
times in the past. In fact it appears
from the republican statements that
the democrats did not pass a single
law of any importance that was not
built upon republican ideas or stolen
bodily from the republican slop chest
■ ' ' . —-■-■I 1
where, if we listen to the republicans,
they were only awaiting the day when
republicanism would be again in the
ascendant and they could be given to
an ..nxiously waiting nation as sam
ples of the G. O. I*, regard for its duty
to the people.
Why some of these alleged repub-'
lican measure* were riot placed upon
the statute books by the republicans
themselves is charmingly explamed
by the statement that the democrats
would not allow it. Whenever a re
publican sprung one of them during
the sixteen years long the republican
patty was in power, the bold, bad
democrats immediately became ugly
voted them down.
In fact it appears that whenever
anything of real benefit to the nation
was hatched by the republican solon.s
during the many years of republican
dominance it was immediately squash
ed by the bloomin' democrats and
afterward stolen to add to the glory
of democracy.
All this is very nice and very illum
inating but it does not explain why
the alleged republican ideas were
fought so bitterly by the republicans I
when they were finally proposed as
legislative measures by the demo
crats, Considering that they were
what the republicans wanted—what
they were only awaiting an opportun
ity to gne the nation themselves—It
is assuredly hard to understand why
it was that such measures as the ship
ping bill, fr: instance, were made the
object of venomous attack from the
republicans or why the parcels post ■
was fought to the last ditch or why j
any other of the democratic measures
that conflicted with corporate inter
ests were Mocked and hindered in
every possiMe manner and form. To
the onlooker who cares neither for re
puMican or democrats where the good
of the country is the first conaidera- .
tion, it appears that the republicans j
are making out a very poor case
when they attempt to belittle the ac
complishments of the democrats on
the plea that they have stolen their
goods.
In putting forth such a Maim 'hey
are totally forgetful of the f,, t th t
the man who brings home the pota
toes is the man who feeds the chil
dren—not the man who sets on the
fence and thinks about digging them
The* ideas embraced in the long list
of beneficial legislative enactments
for which the democrats are responsi
ble may be republican either in whole '
or in part but the fact that they were
made of value to the nation by the
democrats will t*c the only thing that
will appeal to the voters who enjoys
their benefits. Mighty few will stop
to think that the ideas were republi
can and most of them will not give a
hang whose brains evolved the orig
inal idea. All they will consider is
that they were enacted by the demo
crats and to them belongs the credit
for their passage into law.
HISTORICAL RELIC
FOUND BY EXPORERS
The museum of the University of
Pennsylvania recently made public a
report from Dr. Clarence S. Fisher,
leader of the Eckley B. Coxe, jr., ex
pedition to Egypt, in which he tells
of what appears to be the discovery j
that Meremptah had in his palace at !
Memphis an archeological museum t
something like those of the present j
Jay. Meremptah was the son of Itam- 1
tses the Great, and by many is Identl- I
fled as the Pharaoh of the oppression, i
is described in the Book of Exodus, j

The palace was discovered early in
the present year, the report said. It
was large and elaborately decorated,
but at some time- was destroyed by
Are, trace* of which are abundant.
The palace was about 156
feet long and 100 feet wide and con
tained about twenty rooms. The
throne room was a magnificent cham
ber of about 60 by 40 feet. In describ
ing this room the museum aunoura c
ment stated that "it is probable that
this throne room, if not the same ore
is similar to the one in which M« s
and Aaron confonted the I haraoh dt
[tnanding that the people of Israel lie
perm .'ed to go • • • The authorit'e*
in Egypt admit that a great discovery
has been made.
I
In the throne room ■'(re found gold
ornaments, scarabs, vessels for various
purposes and vases. The most intet -
esting find, the report stated, was
collection of relies partly of the stoni
age and -partly of the sixth dynasty
(about 4506 B. indicating tli.it
Meremptah was i collector m .vh liki
modern men or nations. Th< stone
implements included kniv* f.- razors
sickles and arrow heads.
