NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 3, 1916.
Tlx failure of Judge Hughes to
commit himself with respect to the
policies for which he stands is doubt
less disappointing to everyone but his
political opponents as it happens that
ltie questi n of policies is just now
the largest one on the political hori
zon and also the most prominent fea
ture of t In* campaign.
Time was when policies were a
sort of party fetish with each politi
cal faction maintaining a choice as
sortment agreeable to its own ideas,
• ach rut out of tile whole cloth and
kept carefully pressed and darned, '
ready for all party demands, year uf- 1
ter year and decade after decade. Re
gardless of the condition of the na
tional being, they were applied on all
occasions with little change, aside
from a small patch added here and
there, to meet I he need for covering
some unexpected sore spot. In a
great degree they were like the mus
tard plaster, suitable for numerous
occasions and applicable to many
needs.
Now, however, conditions are such
that the old stock policy does not
'•xictly fill the requirements. Policies
are liecoming bigger than the party
and are rapidly becoming the whole
show. No longer are democracy and
free trade practically synonomous
terms. Protection and high tariff
are no longer the chief features of
the republican party. A change has
come over things of late which
threatens to relegate the cut and
dried, the year in and year out policy,
to the background forever. Many of
tlie old time tried and fire tested
policies still remain, and will con
tinue to remain for years to come,
but they will remain only in their
essence and with many modifications.
The tendency of the times is toward
great changes. World conditions are
altering to a marvelous extent under
the impulse of certain great influences
which arc themselves new. World
Ideas arc changing, new methods are
developing and all are having an over
whelming effect In producing changed
conditions. No where are the effects
more appreciable than in the United
States; nowhere are changed world
conditions sooner felt. As a great
commercial nation with whom the
whole world deals and on which it de
pends for a large portion of its com
modities. this nation is particularly
susceptible to influences which alter
the state or condition of those with
whom it deals. No great example of
this could be furnished than has been
presented in the remarkable changes
developing in the United States as a
result of the war. Out of the many
nations, none feel the heart throbs of
the world as does the United States.
Every change which seriously affects
the condition of one of the world
states produces a certain correspond
ing effect in this country.
With changes developing on every
sale, as at present, the United States
is forced to continually face new
problems, to grapple with new condi
tions, which, though bred beyond her
borders in many cases, nevertheless
alter and disturb conditions within,
to the extent that new policies are
required in the conduct of affairs both
at home and abroad.
The question of policies is thus a
very vital one. Until a few years
ago the “splendid isolation” of the
United States protected the nation, to
a great extent, from extraneous in
fluences. Now, however, this
condition no longer obtains. With
changes abroad come also changes to
ourselves—changes of marvelous (low
er and extent and which exert an
overwhelming influence on our na
tional career. Continually confront
ed with new influences, new problems
arise which demand continual and
ever inyensing attention if we would
not suffer. Our methods and policies
must change to tit new or altered con
ditions. Conditions are no longer so
stable that stock policies may be suc
cessfully employed, as heretofore.
High tariff, for instance, will not pro
duce the same results today as in
bygone years. Conditions are such
that some of the benefleient effects
produced by that policy at earlier pe
riods will now be no longer beneficial,
but detrimental. Other policies of
bygone days designed to meet condi
tions obtaining then would be pur
poseless and useless, if not danger
ous, in the present day. The need
for policies to meet the new and con
stantly changing conditions is the
paramount need of the times. The
very existence of the nation rests upon
tlie [lolicies that may be adopted. With
so much depending on the question of
policies, it is not remarkable that the
failure of one of the possible future
rulers of the nation to make himself
clear concerning his attitude toward
the more prominent questions with
which the country is confronted, has
caused no end of speculation and some
disquietude.

TOLSTOI CAMP
IS DEAD ONE;
MANY BELIEVE
That the Tolstoi camp is a dead
one, from the stampeders’ point of
view, is the essence of a letter re
ceived in Fairbanks from Joe Bosch,
the well known Circle oldtimer. who
stampeded to the new diggings this
spring. Pay has been found on only
two claims on Boob creek, whih Mas
todon creek shows nothing but pros
pects. This is practically the first
news received here direct from tin
new camp, all other reports being ob
tained from lower river newspapers.
Bosch’s letter was written .at Cooper
City, in the Tolstoi camp, on June 10.
It says that Cooper is located about
four miles from the diggings. Its
main business houses are two saloons
three restaurants and two stores.
..Considerable freighting was being
done from Idltarod to the now camp
when the letter was written, the
Mutchler brothers having arrived
there with a number of horses, haul
ing goods of all kinds.
There were about 200 men in the
camp at the time that the letter was
writte^L) Br. Bosch, however, evi
dently expected the camp to become
depopulated soon, for he writes that
many of those who stampeded to the
reported new diggings late in the win
ter and early in the spring are now
leaving.
