City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. JULY 1, 1915.
All who have paid close attention to
the newspaper accounts of the war are
by this time convinced that a great
deal of it, In the I'nited States at least,
is a newspaper war and faking Is go
ing on more or less on all sides. In
other words the aspects as presented to
the public are mostly words. Accusa
tion and recriminations are bandied
hack and forth with careless abandon
and each side endeavors to put the
most damning construction upon the
words of the other side. The editor
of ttie Saturday Evening Po9t, not I mg
since remarked that those who rend
the war accounts of 1870 can see a
striking similarity between the wordy
war of that year and that of 1914-15.
The accusations and counter accusa
tions are much the same now as they
were then disclosing ttint the papers
have not changed their methods in the
least although the methods of war
have (hanged mightily. One does not
need to go hack ns far as 1870 however
to find visible evidences of tills simi
larity as the liner and Spanish-Amer
ican war both furnished examples of
the ways the newspapers help to carry
on the campaign. On both sides, fhen
as now, could be witnessed many men
who preferred to serve ttieir country
by lying rather than hy fighting. The
papers upholding the cause of both
sides ever displayed a willingness to
publish lying and deceptive tales of
every description in order to injure the
cause of the enemy. And it is much
the same at the present time. Every
effort of human ingenuity has been ex
erted to the utmost to damn the cause
of tile other fellow by any means pos
sible and no tale has been too untruth
ful to receive recognition and publica
tion. Witness the tales of German
atrocities at the start of the present
conflict nearly all of which hat e sub
sequently been entirely disproved. Yet
these tales were vouched for at the
beginning by men and women to whom
such tilings would seem impossible
Women of the highest ranks of society
insited that they had witnessed the
visible evidences of the truth of their
statements of the maiming of children
and the ravishing of women. And yet,
tie it remembered when those same
tales were subjected to investigation
they were found to be untruthful. All
of which indicate that there is an in
grained streak of something in people
which can witness an evil when no evil
really exists when their passions and
sympathies are aroused hy some over
whelming impulse such as war and the
national hatred engendered thereby.
The announcement that large num
bers of tourists will visit the city dur
ing the coming summer is one in which
the citizens of Nome should take a
more active interest than is manifest
ed at the present time ns it is clear
that the publicity thus afforded \\ill
undoubtedly lie productive of a consid
erable hem-fit in Hie way of advertising
this section that can hardly be accom
plished in any other manner. It has
been the contention for years that
Nome needed an influx of capital in or- '
der to fully develop the latent possi
bilities of tills section and the belief
has continued that if the actual truth
as to the resources was effectively set
forth to the world a vastly increased
prosperity would follow. Despite this 1
relief hut very little effort has been
ttade in that direction as no one sown -
>d to have the necessarx Initiative to
ttart something, lienee the camp lies
Irifted along In the best wav It could
ind it must be admitted has done '■ i
well. Now however the people of tin
listrict have an opportunity to advc r
tise what they have in a most effective
manner by showing the' rxpi eted visitors
just exactly what lies behind the dis
trict and there is little doubt that the
result cannot ice other than beneficial
Those who w’U1 make the Journm to
these far northern shores will in the
greater number of instances he people
af means themselves and those whos.
Fisoetates will he of the same class
Thus If they can become convinced. !>■
seeing, that there Is something here'
worth exploiting It is worth a little time'
and money to attempt to rouse their
interest This is a matter which should
really he undertaken by the chamber
of comroeree hut, as that body seems
disinclined to take the Initiative, if the
citizens really desire to avail them
selves of this opportunity to advertise j
In accordance with the long expressed ]
desires, thev should make some provts
slon to give the visitors a reeeptinp of
some nature and devise way* and
means of showing to the best advan
tage that which the country holds
