NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 22, 1917.
The United states mint, according
to the New York Sun, is hurrynig the
< utput of the half dollar, a coin now
us'd to buy things that used to co3t a
quarter.
The Milan, Italy, Gazette speaking
of America says, "We all know the)
ltr*lian3 diseeverd it. The Germane!
made it. The Irish rule it. The j
Jews improved it. The Yankees run
it. The gasoline men own it—so
where is your Americanism?
The Kansas City Star says that
there is just about as much danger of
the United States becomnig "mili
taristic" by giving a few months'
training to ail its young men 113 there
is for an office clerk to get the bug
of being a prize fighter by taking
fifteen mintues' systematic exercise
every day.
It has been announced that the com
mittee has decided not to award the
Nobel peace prize this year. I’resum
•ably no worthy recipient can be found.
Mi. Hoosevell, who is supposed to be
bellicose and searching for a night nil
the time ,wrought so well for peaec
it at he was considered worthy to re
ceive this prize. It is passing strange
ihat our president who ha3 kept ous
1 f war has escaped the observation of
1 be oornmtitee.
It it a perfectly natural proceeding
to blame somebody else for our
fruits. Many people think it is eas''."
lo blame the other fellow than it is
10 shoulder the responsibility in man
lid fashion. Thus when the women
no'ed in New York yesterday and day
before, a scape-goat was sought for
their demonstration and was of course
• usily founei. This was none other
tl; n German emissaries. They fo
mented the food riot for dark pur
poses of heir own. This would be
about te limit to which New York
pi lice thought could rise. The Ger
«*’ maiib did it.. The police could notj
figure out that the high cost of living
is world wide and is due partly to the
withdrawal of so many millions from
porductive labor, partly to the great
w-.ste of war, and partly to artificial
e levation of prices It is easier and
more popular to blame it on the Ger
mans. But it will be very hard to
find those crafty emissaries of the
kaiser who egged the women on.
They will probably never be caught
because they do not exist. They are
figments of police imagination.
Great Britain has five and a quar
ter billions of dollars invested south
of the Ito Grande and in the West
11 dies, according to Ueslie’s figures.
Her investments in Mexico alone are
over two billions of dollars. The Uni
ted States has investments in Mex
ico approximating the same figure.
Many of the mines and oil wells of
American interests have been closed
down as a result of the watchful wait
ing policy Considerable foreign prop
erty has been confiscated. There are
literally thousands of smaller bills
against the Mexican government for
destruction of store,s banks and other
property and the unlawufl taking of
life.
The whole bill against Mexico is
Hi.ally likely to total closer to one
billion than half a billion dollars. The
foreign claims already listed reach
• he enormous total of four hundred
million dollars The claims of Great
■ Britain alone will reach to one bun
dled millions while the claims of the
1'nited States amount to one bun
diid and twenty-lltive million. Spain
| prcbably will be next in line with u
' bill of seventy live million, while Uar
oiany, France and other countries
I will divide the balance. Mexico, us
a result of the watchful waiting policy,
lung since went into bunkrutcy.
The recent election has left parties
and authority queerly divided at
W. slungtou. The ehiel excutive and
the senate ure democratic and the
icu-se is republican.
l-'or ilie next two years we shall
have curiously mixed conditions at the
national capital unless war intervenes
ml unites all against the common
enemy. The voters habitually dis
posed to rebuke somebody, may not
then know whether to rebuke the
president and the senate, or to punish
tin house for i fusing to follow them.
Fa eh party will point the linger of
scorn to the legislative chambre uu
c.er control of the other
it is a safe prediction, the Boston
Herald thinks, that the constructive
Ugislation of Mr. Wilson's adminis
tration is nearly over—except what
i may push through in the next
two weeks anil this is not likely to
I he much on account of the war
I-.cart. He w ill never thereafter be
1 able to carry any project ot whc h
the republicans in the house stand
sclidly opposed. There is a possibility,
I bu* not a probability, that a demn
.i; tic tidal wave of lft 18 would give
j him back the house as well as
srengthen his hold in the senate, vs
' a preliminary to the next presidential
! contest. We are, however, approach -
j ing jeais of extraordinary complica
tions in public and business policies,
with inevitable high cost of living,
ami—no'. unrelated thereto—very
Messing burdens of taxation. In
thfse circumstances the spirit of the
Country the next four years is likely
to Le one of protest, and likely thus
to show itself on all occasions of
leV.ng.
i
Pepublican candidate are much
more likely to have easy sailing hi
1118 with Wilson in the White House
than if Hughes were there. In that
cortlngency the inevitable reaction
would have struck the republican can
didates in the states. Under present
conditions it is likely to accrue to j
thor advantage. Very considerable j
i the element of the voting public
which regularly turns against the!
party that is in power and is sup- |
p< sedly responsible for things as they
me. And this is undoubtedly a poli
tii il assi t for the republicans if no
war oceuin and high prices and com
pliments come as seems most likely.
DITN'T GO TO STRONG.
