LISTEN TO THIS
An assistant district attorney at Nome named Peary or Perry went out
side this fall and stated, according to a printed interview with him in a
Seattle paper, that the people of Vlaska are beginning now to he a much more
law abiding people than they were.
That man went into Alaska last fall as a carpet bagging appointee to
his job. It was the Urst time in his life he had ever visited Alaska. Even still
he has never seen any part of Alaska hut that one camp .of Nome. These
tacts ought to be sufficient to condemn that man as either a fool or a knave.
It is frightfull' hard to maintain dignity when dealing with gentlemen
of the stamp of Mr. Peary orlVrry. V man like that is so securely entrenched
behind th rocks of hi*, own ignorance of what is just and right that to reach
his understanding one should be armed with .1 mental weapon of a calibre
which for the sake of illustration can be compared to the great siege guns
ot the Herman array. Ordinary argument could never reach him and a re
minder to him of his insolence would have about the same effect as trying to
beat down Hilbrallar by bombarding it with turnips.
So. Mr. Perry or Peary or Or. took or whatever it is, you are too care
fully hidden behind the impregnable harrier of your own lump of ivory to
waste time making a frontal attack and there is nothing lott but to attempt
a Hanking movement by appealing to those in whom Vlaskans still have faith
and contidence.
Mr. Wilson may be beyond the reach of the voice ot an Alaskan news
paper but surely he is not beyond the reach ol the voice ot all the papers
;.nd all the people of the territory. It might, therefore, be of some use to
draw attention to the tact that .Mr, Perry, or whatever it is, has had only
very little opportunity ot studying the people ol Alaska—the people who made
Alaska. The chances are that this assistant district attorney did not even get
enough criminal work to do while he was in Nome to give him a chance to
earn his salary, for the people of Nome* are* a law-abiding people and, strange
to say, we*re a law-abiding people* before this genius e*ve*r got shipped in there*.
There are people in Nome who have been there* for some sixteen years
who have kept out of the* penitentiary. As a matter of fact it is well known
that the* percentage of people convicted of crimes in Nome as well as in all
ether parts ot Alaska i> snulle*r than in any other part ol l nite*d Slates te*rri
lory. One can go farther and say that in Seattle*,—one ot whose papers had
the infernal gall to publi>h thi — man’s balde*rdash—tlie*re* are* a hundre*d hold
ups and other crimes to every one* in Alaska.
Look around you, you pie»ne*e*rs of Alaska, and point out how many people
,*e u have known have been defendan > in a criminal suit in this territory. Look
over the thousands of upstanding fellows who hit the* trail ^ith you in the
days before* we* had carpet baggers and ask yourself it they hail anything to
learn about what was due* to se>e'ie*ty. Glance ove*r the* families who have built
up homes he*re and all tht* kids who have* become won and women he*re. Was
is necessary to say that such people are now beginning to he* a much more
law-abiding people?
Is there the slightest hope that the puny voices of the* poor ordinary
Alaskans whose only crime is that they never held a government job can
ever reach congre*>> or the* whitehouse* Are we* constantly to be* made the*
victims of the* tongue's e»f thus** w ho ce»me* to hate* us bt*e*ause we* creates! a
territory where their incompetence might be* sheltered under the folds of the
federal payroll? 1> a man who never had the courage to strike out over the
trails of Alaska for himself—who never would have come to Alaska unless
he had his way paid by the* government—is that man > word to be taken be
fore the words of men who not only made* 'heir own living in Alaska but
made Alaska a territory worth while?
But. what's the* use. Maskans are law abiding pt*ople. There is no
finer people* on the e*arth, taken as a whole. And ust*le*ss though it may he*,
the fact is stated once more in a low despairing voice, hut it is hereby stated
just the same for the benefit of those in Washington and elsewhere, the filthy
inuendoes of carpet baggers to the contrary notwithstanding.
LEARNING NEW
WAR TACTICS
SURGEON SAYS CLIMATIC CON
DITIONS AT THE FRONT
DRIVE MEN INSANE.
(By The Associated Press.)
LONDON, Nov. 25.—Modern fight
ing strategy, at first rather helpless
before the aerial and artillery factors,
is beginning to adapt itself to the new
conditions and along the great Aisne
battle front many fertile brains have
been busy devising schemes to meet
these problems. Probably the most
useful work of the aeroplane has been
the location of positions and conse
quent direction of artillery fire often
resulting in terrible losses to the at
tacked army.
According to a distinguished Lon
don surgeon, now serving as a volun
teer in the Army Medical Corps, the
British troops have become adepts at
building dummy trenches to attract
the enemy’s fire. These trenches arc
thrown up with great fidelity and
dummy figures and guns are left in
them patiently awaiting the German
aeroplane scouts. Believing he has
discovered a new position the aviator
signals to the nearest German battery,
and a storm of shells fall upon the un
occupied trenches. It is usually only
after a great waste of valuable am
munition that the trick is discovered.
Another favorite device is the in
vention of a British signaller where
by a heliograph can be operated at a
distance of two miles by means of a
telegraph wire. This heliograph be
gins to send out messages purposing
to emanate from headquarters stalT
and believing they have located the
brains of the British army the German
artillery devotes its attention to !h,?
spot marked by the Hashes from the
heliograph. Sometimes the heliograph
is destroyed, but usually the operator
ceases work when the fire become*
so heavy that no staff in its senses
would remain in the vicinity. A cow
a pa rat us is set up in some pjjd’ion
where the staff would be likely to re
move should it be driven from the
first selected place.
Along the front where th . opposing
trenches are within a few hundred
yards of each other the all’cs have
devised a system of tormenting the
enemy by keeping them awake at
night. Kegula» tkirmish details are
selected each r.ight and in a thin
skirmish line they advance as close as
possib.e and no.,** in a ratti* f:re.
The reponse is almost indar.t and «n
such volumn as to indicate that the
Germans 4>eliev- a general attack is
beginning. Several times d • ir.g the

battle.
On** of the optimist,’" features of the
situation is an improvement in the
transport of the wounded from the
battle front to hospitals in England.
Two weeks ago it took often as long
as three weeks to get the wounded
from the scene of the fighting to
Southampton and now the same trip
is made in from three to four days.
This speeding up has resulted in a
great acceleration in the recovery of
the dangerously wounded, for they
reach the hospitals within the period
of infection.
