NOME, ALASKA, JAN 4, 1916.
•
We of the n.rlhland have much to
be thankful lor, much to be proud ol
and acipiie the fact that we are but
a little bunch of people out on th»
ragged edges of a great and wonderfu
continent who liguie but little In the
maelstrom of the world's political ano
urnnei< ai eta, we ate more than sat
Idl ' d with ourselves and certainly de
serve to be,
'I he festive season has come and
gone and where under God's sun
could you tin'! a people with the spirit
'■f good fellowship which was and Is
evident among us. Taking Into con
sideration ihe cosmopolliuii population
wlih lj Is usually found on the various
fronth i .= u here the ! ,i• ..i mining
attracts, especially at such a time at
this when half of the world Is at vvur,
one must Justly lie proud of the Alas
kan.
There Is no denying the fact that
wo uio a great and glorious people,
people who give and take uml are not
out looking for the best of it all the I
time.
We had a glorious time during the
holidays, were happy, and did all In
sur power to make the other fellow
happy and wo sure did succeed. The
spirit of the real man was evident. He
who was horn on the banks of tbe
Rhine In l he heart of Germany shook
tbe hand of another who ptuyliups not
bo many years ago pitched hay on hln
father's farm In sunny southern Franct
on the hunks of the Rhone. All were
possessed of that camaraderie which
exists among real men; und tin north
Is full of them today.
How many 'f us during the Xmas
fesi Ivlth a stopped to think of how
lucky we ure In this Aluskaland. Howl
many of us ga ■ a thought to Pierre,!
or Hans, or Ivan, over In Europe who
were down In the howele of a muddy
trench without any Xmas cheer and who
lived In the constant fear of getting a
present In the shape < f a shrapnel shell
from Santa for Christinas
Was It not Kipling who once suhi:J
' there Is no law of man or (Jod north
of fifty three;" and, ure we not the
heat and the most law-abiding people
on earth. Of course things are dif
ferent now and Rudyurd may again
wish himself "Somewhere east of
Sues;" hut ub there are none of the
ten commandments left In the larger
portion "f continental Europe It may
he difficult for him to decide where to
go Welcome to the northland Rud
vurd, where the law of God and man
prevalla.
Pile fact tluit a woman with Indian
blood Is about to occupy the leading
woman's place in the United States Is
one that suggests to the mind unusual
thoughts There Is aromantlc slgnl
finance about the circumstance which
Is really extraordinary In this prosaic
existence of ours. It almost surpasses
In Its poetic suggestion and humanly
unreal ‘atmosphere" the creations of
the transcondant genius that produced
the Arabian Nights.
The very fact that the chief citizen
of a mighty nation, with all the pre
judices uf blond, race and color of the
haughtiest whites, considers that the
possesion uf a strain of aboriginal
iuuwn is no reatmi against tue closest
.nUuiucy anti tauuiy ties goes to snow
Lliat the nation over which he preside!
noids in the respect of equals the first
inhabitants of America wnotu uu' an
cestors of the immediate pieceu.hg
generation were accustomed to cuh
savages it would oe Impose.ole tor the
president to marry tins tudy if Indian
blood were not regarded by all tne
people as worthy to mingle with their
■own.
As a maltei of fact the lady has
every reason to o« proud of her “na
ilte descent, as we are told she li
and if we couid only see ah pejp.es
placed where equal opportunities were
available we shou.d probably And tea'
all human beings are about the same
Though patriots, Aatier, still shall
wisdom And and equal portion dealt to
11 manKind."
