A VITAL QUESTION.
The largely attended meeting held nti
A H. Hall last night is ample evidence
that the people of Nome, regardless of
what their views in relation to the sub
.ieet may he. are deeply Interested in the
prohibition question While the ques
tion has not as yet cleatIv resolved
itself into a definite issue in the minds
of tho people of the community it is
apparent that the public are more or
less Inclined to lend it their vital con
sideration in so far at least as the local
aspects are concerned. As pointed out
hy one of the speakers during the
course of the evening, the matter, b>
i ally considered, seems In resolve itself
largely into a question of expediency
irt tho minds of the many
Instead of the oft asserted pernicious
influence of tho saloon being made the
primary matter of discussion, as is us
ually the case, locally the argument
seems to hinge largely on the question
of supporting the local government and
schools Independently of the saloon.
As tho matter now stands over one
fourth of the total revenues of the ('ity
are derived directly from tho liquor in
terests within the corporate limits and
the question of supplying the deficiency
in revenue that will necessarily follow
the abolition of the saloon is seemingly
a matter of more vital concern to those
who have a substantial interest in the
present and future well being of the
town, than is that concerning the moral
or social evils resulting from the liquor
traffic.
If this phase of the matter were defi
nitely settled, if tho all absorbing ques
tion of how to raise the funds necessary
for the proper muintnlnence of the City
and the schools, independent of the
liquor Interests, could bp clearly anti
definitely shown the matter would lie
reduced to its more simple elements ant
become merely a matter of morn!
choice in the absence of definite
statements in this relation the peoplf
me naturally reluctant to decide eithei
pro or eon and they can hardly he
blamed. The property holders and tux
payors of Nome naturally desire that
the present public institutions be main
tained on an efficient basis
This requires money and while many
indefluate suggestions as to ways and
means have been offered nothing of a
concrete of decided nature lias so far
hoen offered Judging from numerous
expressions of opinion on this phase
of the matter the people of Nome evi
dently desire to proceed with caution
in the decision of a question which in
bound to vitally affect every interest In
tho community
MONEY AND MARRIAGE.
Marriage without money or assur
inces of ability to earn maintenance
x a thing to ho sedulously avoided, ao- 1
■nrding to tho warning of nn official of I
he Societ' for the Prevention of |
',ruelt\ to Animals, who has been ex-]
lmlning the question of marriage from
in economic standpoint it Is stated
that there are too many couples
struggling in poverty, with children
who arc not getting their chance in
the world.
Whatever expert observation or
teonomlc demonstration may contri
bute to the wisdom of humanity In
hose matters, it Is quite probable that
I will have little effect on the number
>f marriage licenses issued The youth ]
and the maiden who have made up their]
minds to wed ore not likelv to lie turned
from their purpose hv an array of
figures or a sociological argument, and
if there is to he failure it will onlv he
recognized at the point of practical ex
perience But there is no doubt much
wisdom in the warning The world
would he much better off if matrimony
could t«e made the suhject of more de
liberation and regard for its practical
ind material phases
nut under and conditions the success
o> failure of married life must remain
In the keeping of the individuals A
young man who is capable of sustaining
himself In comfort is likelv to be cap
able of sustaining a family In comfort,
and the young man whose habits are
wasteful and extravagant, even though
be may be earning n fair Income in
vites disaster when tie seeks a bride
The mere receipt of income ts not
conclusive of continuing and success
ful domestic life, and on the other hand
many voting men have married with
II i Income, and hv Industrious habits
ind the encouragement of « wife have
worked their wav to success and en
jewnent of domestic happiness
White dollars and cents mav have
a oerv strong hearing upon matrimony
they are by no means conclusive of Its
success or failure—P I.

i'll. I'm longing for Alaska
For the land that's.calling, calling!
i.'h. I’m longing to he sailing
O'er her winding water-ways.
Where the yvooded shores rise steeply.
Where the cataracts are fatting -
L'h. again that I might linger ]
In her pleasant, sunny hays.
Those that know you riot, oh North
land.
Who have never seen vour beauty.
I Horn you desolate and lonelv.
Mul a land of ice and snow:
iif your green and fertile valleys,
(if vour meadows tilled yvith flowers.
Your long days of golden sunshine,
i if these they never knoyv
]tut we who know the Northland.
We know her tint to love tier
We love her from Old Dixon's
'To the Arctic regions cold
And the charm Is not of rictu •«.
Nor of honor, nor of glory.
And of lure, nor of glory.
And the lure that’s ever calling us
Is not the lust for gold.
We love her endless waters.
ller majestic snow-crowned mountains,
Flushed by the rose of dawning.
Or evening’s sunset dyes:
The mist-wreaths of her valleys,
AVhere ttie purple shadows llngci
As fades the radiant glory
From the glowing yvestern skies
We love her calm tag spaces,
ller impressive world of yvaters.
The silence of her snow-flelds
As the winter closes doyvn.
And we Ime the hearty greetings.
And the welcome at each fireside.
And the life and lights and music
of the straggling little towns
And we hue the bonds of friendship
That unite all men as brothers.
And the ready hand of helping
Proffered in the hour of need
Where every man is measured
My the manhood that Is In him.
For we render, in Alaska.
I nto every man Ills meed.
SAYS BRITAIN
HAS BIG GUNS
ON THE WAY
LONDON. Viscount Haldane, Lord
Kish Chancellor, announced in the
House of Lords recently that British
experts were busy producing a satis
factory gun equivalent to the German
42-eentimetro gun, which did such ex
ecution against the Belgian fortresses
and that recruiting was so satisfactory
that the necessity for conscription had
not arisen.
The Chancellor would not disclose
the strength of the British army, hut
military experts estimate it cannot
lie less than 3,000,000 men, counting
the regulars, tlie reservists,, the terri
loriaJs and Lord Kitchner's new
army.
