NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 22, 1916.
On with the dunce! Let Joy and
sorrow be unconlined.
The most striking art developed by
the war is artillery.
Great is the god of greed and even
greater is the god of power which
impels man to desire domination over
fellows.
The back to the farm movement
has had only a moderate success but
It may receive a considerable impetus
when labor and capital Join issues
as both seem determined to do.
The Canadians on the Somme step
Into the limelight every week or two
when they make a gallant charge but
the glare of the light is doubtless
tempered to their eyps by the smoke,
and one thing and another.
The state department says It Is
ready to accept yesterday’s note from
Germany on the submarine question
as final. That seems reasonable espe
cially as there doesn't seem to be any
thing else that can be done about it.
The Servians have won hack the
southern tip of their country and It
held a town big enough for the king
to proclaim it as the capital of the
kingdom. Poor Belgium hasn't enough
ground with buildings on it to prop
erly provide federal offices for a Judi
cial division In Alaska.
We recently learned what the Ger
mans were going to do to Crajova.
There was no doubt they would do
It. London expected them to and any
reverse conceded by London turns
out so. But our disinterested and un
sought advice to the Russian and Rou
manian generals Is to look behind
them for the other thing. The Ger
mans wouldn’t talk Crajova unless
they wore sure of It and wanted to
d'ptract attention from some other
trick that they have up their sleeve.
They didn’t say a word about Crajova
until they were there and their next
thing will likewise be done before 't
Ip discussed, always excepting Verdun
of course.
Borne of tho writers over In Eng
land don’t like us very well and per*
haps never will, no matter how good
we may be to their country. This
mild observation is not intended *o
start anything, but is merely an Men
that bobbed up on reading something
in the London Saturday Review. A
writer In that eminently proper pub
lication bemoans the atrocities perpe
trated on the English language In
there parlous days. He says that
there are questions of reconstruction
which are likely to arise at the pIcjq
of the war and that he will be ’’cot
ten I to see the English language re
stored even to that state of Impurity
In which It existed before the wu
He hopes that when peace comes in at
t«e door the word "pacifist” may tly
out of tho window and he would not
caie If “pacificist" took wing at tho
•erne time never to return.
Ot course these words are to I«
hurl to u, AbumIma origin but ha
has rely a gen* It disapproval of them
compared to his abhorrence of "stun* * j
used for instance In describing n trip
in an airplane as an "uir stunt," nnd
of "ginger" meaning to speed up a
bit, and such other Americanisms. 1
The use of "movies" is detestable when
‘c'nematograph performances*’ 's
meant. Evan the "scholarly officials
of the treasury.” yes, that’s what he
calls them, are guilty of gross misuse
of the mother tongue when they spoak
of “super-tax” and "super dread
naughts” and gourmands disgrace
tbemselves not by overeating but by
calling their feeds "super-luncheons.”
Above all the word "some" used ns
a universal spithet such as “some
fight," "some chicken," "some gen
tleman" nnd so on, comes in for deep
opprobrium. As is to be expected this
is an Americanism of the rankest
growth for It originlated in the fnr
west of our savagj country among
the half-wild cow punchers. Oui
critic also would liko very much to
see some one capture the accent and
put It on the last syllable of “ally”
where it belongs so that It will stay
there in the future.
It probably did not occur to the
complacent writer in the Saturdaj
Review that Americans own a on
half undivided interest In the English
language by right of inheritance and
that a considerable number of them
try Jo keep up the standard and
succeed to a certain extent. Amer
icans for instance have not yet adopt
ed "to maffick," "to Stellenbosch" and
other such insularities, nor do they
pronounce “clerk" U3 "dark," and
"derby" as "darby" to mention onl\
a few samples of the linguistic idio
aj ncracies of our English cousins
But there Is no use of arguing ahou'
It. We might as well acknowledge
that we are a young, breezy peonl
with no past to .speak of nnd a future
which enn tie regarded only with ex
treme dubiety. We are the you’ll
who must learn from and defer to our
ciders. We have been mostly wrong
in all we have done and said and
we always will he the same, as view
ed by our critic. So we may as well
go on living our life of shameful
catelessness and ignorance whether
anybody like it or not.
GOOD RULES FOR STAYING WELL
"It Isn't necessary to give a lot of
time to the job of keeping lit," said
Copt. Koehler, physical director ot
West Point military academy. "Ten
or fifteen minutes of setting-up exer
c'se in the morning, and a walk ever}
day—not necessarily a long one, but
one in which you march briskly like
a soldier, with your head and chest
up and your shoulders back—will
work wonders. Do you know why so
many men are narrow-chested and
weak? It is because they never have
given themselves a chance to breathe j
and never have given their muscles
enough exercise.
"Many people, men, women and
children are semi-invalids most ot
their lives because of the lack of a
few minutes of daily exercise and nlso
because they have never been taught
a proper posture and carriage, such,
for instance, as we insist upon at all
times in cadets; a position in which
every organ of the body is held in
it? proper place with ample space to
cairy on its own particular function
without restriction, and in which every
muscle of the body is furnishing its
own transportation, so to speak, and
not depending upon other muscles to
do for It what it was intended it
should do for its< if.
"Proper posture and carriage, with
shoulders square, chest arched, head
erect und body well stretched from
tlie waist up, will of its own account
contribute much toward relieving our
people of the many petty und not n 1
few of the serious ills from which they
are now suffering. It is the founda
tion of robust health and should be
Insisted upon in children from the
very beginning until It becomes a
habit and us such will displace the;
dlseuse-brecding 'slouchy' habit now
so prevalent among people of all ages
and stations.”
CANADA LOOKS AHEAD

in the proposed commercial alliance
between the entente allies after ‘he
conclusion of the war,, and It Is look

The Toronto Nows recalls that ‘lie
United States has made such lm
mrnse growth in wealth recently that
it can readily spare money for in
vestment in the Dominion. It recalls
that prior to ‘.lie outbreak of the war
and sinco the commencement of j(ico
year 1900, United States Industrie*,, ,n- ]
vested J500.000.000 in bmne’.i factogiee
In Canada, so that they might reach
the Canadian market without paying
customs duties It docs not add, at it
might, that in the last three years,
favored by lowered tariff duties and an 1
■ charged free list, some of these Can
adian factories, established by Ameri
can capital, have made a large market
Cor their Canadian-made good3 in the
United States likewise.
The News sees that if Canadiun
goods are given preferential treat
ment in all parts of the British em
pire and In the countries of the ent 'tr
ie allies as well. Am rican capital will
mvp large additional inducement tc
stablish industries in Canada, It
says that already Amcracan aget^j^sre!

;o building there, if the Paris, pro- j
,’osuls go into effect. It looks tr
licse developments as certain to an
,Me Canada to recoup her heavy nvi
terial losses by the war.
If, in addition to a free entry Into
the Canadian markets by establishing
plants in Cam d.i, the manufacturer*
can be Insured an equally free entry 1
r.to the markets of the United St id
hrough a continuance of the pros' nt
