THE NOME TRI-WEEKLY NUGGET, WEDNESDAY JUNE 25, 1919.
WORTHY OF TRIAL
Thoro is undoubtedly much truth in the contention of the League of
Nations opponents in the Senate that the convention on which the League
structure is to be founded is to some extent In conflict with American princi
ples:, also in the equally -prominent declaration that American participation
will to some extent ihvolve the United States in complex i ntent! incuts with
other nations.
It is clear, however, that the J.cogue represents the only presen# hope
of attaining that great object of civilization humanity, the abolition of war.
Despite the fact that man possesses an inherent inclination to light
when lie believes his rights are infringed, the gigantic slaughter and over
whelming destruction of the great struggle jus! closed have filled the world
with a spontaneous horror and loathing that is finding expression in an almost
universal demand that war shall be abolished and mankind be allowed to live
That the League provisions to this end entail new responsibilities on
America and also contemplate an infringement t<- the famous injunction of
Washington to avoid foreign entanglements does not appear t«- justify the
contention that the League should be condemned.
If that present great desiteratum of civilized humanity, the prevention
of future Wat's, Is to be secured, it can only be done through the co-operation
of the nations t*» that end. There must be an alliance of some character, at
least between the greater powers, or thoro i« not the nllirhtemt hopt> that the
tlemlrotl remit It can he ach#ved.
Until such time as the principles for which tin* war was f-light arc
established and understood throughout the world, some means must be de
mised for holding In cheek those nations which might become the animating
causes of future wars.
Despite the obvious change in human sentiment during the war period,
it must lie recognized that greed and selfishment are still ttip dominant im
^Milse?i of men and nations. The war has bred a species of altruism among
those races which have been closest to its horrifying influences but human
nature remains much the same as before.
The inclination to take advantage of the weakness of others is dimin
ished only among those nations which have felt the cruel brand of war: the
greater part of the remaining racial entities have changed their national ideas
iegarding themselves and their neighbors only in a slight degree under the
impulse of the lofty principles which have been expounded as the guiding
doctrines of the Allies.
It is these nations that must be watched and hold in check if the hope
of war’s abolition is to be consummated.
The creation of a powerful coalition is. therefore, an absolute essential
to the success of the scheme to abolish war That such coalition or aggre
gation of powers will constitute a practical world dictatorship and also con
tain in itself enormous potentialties of discord is doubtless true. And it is
rdso true that it will entail on those nations interested an immense burden of
additional costs and troubles in maintaining its dictatorship over those who must
l-o held in leash if the objective of war abolition is to lie obtained.
It is indeed regrettable that the only apparent means of preventing fu
ture wars should contain in itself the very elements which its creation is in
tended to dispell. It Is plain, however, that the spirit and inclination of the na
tions which form the main bulwarks of the League will be tip* principal fac
tors in determining whether or not the gigantic powers invested in the League
of Nations will be abused.
It is hardly thinkable that the nited States would at any time consent
to the League being used to further the interests of Its members to the detri
* mont of others. Nor can we think that France will ever sufficiently forget
the black horror in which she was plunged by wanton aggression to consent
to any form of international usurpation by her associates in the League conven
tion. Next to America, England was the foremost expounder of those noble
principles which have been the guiding influence of the Allied nations during
the war and was the first to declare that her imticipafion was aimed prin
cipally at the protection of the weak and the vindication of moral law. Ite
t.ardless of her previous derelictions, the part played by England in the world
war hardly suggests that she would be inclined to abuse the power vested in
her as a League participant to the disadvantage of her neighbor or associates.
With the three greatest national entities of earth upholding the objects
for which the League was formed, it seems hardly likely that it would be made
the tool of infamous design pictured by some of our versatile solon’s back
in Washington.
The League convention Is undoubtedly faulty and contains probably
ns many loopholes for evasion and misapplication ns some of the legal enact
ments manufactured in the Senate almost every day of the year. Few human
documents are so perfect that they cannot be turned to base uses if those
who employ them are'so inclined.
However faulty the League convention may be it at least possesses the
merit of having a worthy object and If the object Is adhered to will probably
produce the result it is intended to attain.
It must be remembered that the convention is a venture Into an un
known sphere, the limitations of which no human being is able to discern.
The men who framed its provisions did not possess superhuman insight 6r a
prescience which would enable them to forsee every eventuality which might
arise through its terms. No living mortal possesses a clear conception of
what such a document should contain. Even so stout an opponent of the
League as Senator Albert Cummins admits that he believes its framers were
pervaded by a deep and fervent desire to make the convention provisions
meet the demand that wars be made Impossible. . "I do not believe.” he saU.
“that those who are responsible for the terms in which it is framed have
aught but the highest desire to promote the welfare of humanity.” '
If the same idea is possessed by those who administrate its terms
there is little doubt that whatever faults the convention contains can be cor
rccted either by amendment of by conducting tl*c Tleague administration in
accordance with the spirit rather than the letter of its provisions.
The world is sick of the horrors of war and it is more than probable
that all of \he signatory nations will l>o heartily glad to use every means pos
sible to employ to make the League the Instrument for which It is designed.
It is admittedly not wise to embrace Its provisions without due consideration
1 ait to reject it utterly, as is apparently the aim of most of its Senate oppon
ents. because it contains elements objectionable to our nationalistic ideals and
principles appears equally unwise.
The main fact is that the convcn.mt represents the first step in an un
tried venture aimed at the preservation of humanity from future rapine and de
struction. It is emblematical of the greatest inspiration that lias ever'eome to
the human heart. It embodies the hopes and prayers of all who value liberty
and the blessings of peace. It is a mighty step toward the fulfillment of the
age long dream of the human brotherhood. It should, therefore, not be cast
aside because of objections which may he overcome or because it Is possible
that it might he, used to ends for which it is not intended.
\\ liatever action is taken by congress .should be based on no political
ambition or inspiration. Politics should be laid entirely aside in considering a
matter so vital to human welfare. Every move made by Congress should
be guided entirely by the thought that the League represents the prayer of
civilized humanity for freedom from war and decisions should be rendered
in a full spirit of reverence for holy purpose for which it is intended.
GERMANS REJOICE
OVER COMING PEACE
Special to The Nugget by The Associated Press.
LONDON. June 21—Patriotic domonatrations developed throughout
Germany when it was announced th;it the new government intended to sign
the peace treaty.
In Gorlin. Munich and other important centers great crowds paraded
the streets singing war songs, waving flags and cheering the generals of the
old empire-.
Copies of German newspapers reaching London disclose the
Germans accepted the announcement in a manner indicating little regard for
the humiliating side of the situation. The bulk or the people appearing In the
demonstrations ore sold to have displayed an lnelination to land the army and
tl-1 names c f the former commanders eivere greeted with tumultous c heering.
I'.'ye witnesses say the celebrations were more in the nature .of a vic
torious rejoicing than an expression of thankfulness that pence was at hand.
Tlo. Heflin newspapers assert that the Officer's Association, composed
of former army officials, has addressed a communication to the Holland gov.
ernment requesting Holland not to surrender the former kaiser to the Allies.

Doctor Says Ordinary Nuxalcd Iron
Will Make Nervous Rundown Peo
ple 100% Stronger in Two
Week’s Time in Many
. Ca .
VKH- voiiK, ff. v.—"Ono glance
Is enough to tell which people have
iron in their blood,” said Dr. E. Sauer,
a Boston physician who has studied
widely both in this country and
in Great European medical institu
tions, in a recent discourse. They are
tiie ones that do and dare. The others
are in the weakling class. Sleepless
nights spent worrying over supposed
ailments, constant dosing with habit
forming drugs and narcotics for ner
vous weakness, stomach, liver or kid
ney disease anti useless attempts to
brace up with strong coffee or other
stimulants are wliat keep them suffer
ing and vainly longing to be strong.
Their real troubla is lack of Iron in the
blood. Without iron the blood has no
power to change food into living tis
sue and therefore, nothing you eat
does you any good; you den’t get the
strength out of it. The moment iron
is supplied the multitude cf danger
ous symptoms disappear. I have seen
dozens of nervous, rundown people
who are ailing all the time, double
and even triple their strength and en
durance and entirely get rid of every
sign of dyspepsia, liver and other
trouble in from ten to fourteen days'
time simply by taking Iron in the
proper form. And this, after they had
in some cases been doctoring for
month without any benefit.
If you a re not strong or well you
awe it to yourself to make the follow
ing teat: See how long you can work
or how far you can walk witheut be
griitafJtaMM Next take two five;
three times per day after meals foi
two weeks. Than test your strength
again and see foT yourself how mu$h
you have gained. There Is nothing
like good old Iron to put color in your
cheeks and sound, healthy *lesh on
your bones. But you must take iron
in a form that can be easily absorbed
and assimilated like nuxated Iron I
you Want it to do you any good,
otherwise it may prove worse than
.-useless.
NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. E. Sauer, Is one of the
newer organic iron compounds. Un.
like the older inorganic iron products,
It is easily assimilated, does not in
jure the teeth, make them black, nor
upset the stomach; on the contrary, it
Is a most potent remedy, in nearly
all farms of indigestion, . s well as for
nervous, run-down conditions. The
Manufacturers have such great confi
dence in Nuxated Iron that they of
fer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable
institution if they cannot take any man
or woman under 60 who lacks iron
and Increase their strength 100 per
cent or over in four weeks' time pro
vided they have no serious organic
trouble. They also offer to refund
your money if it does not at least
double your strength and endurance in
ten days' time. It Is dispensed In this
city by Lomen Bros. (Successors to
Butlsr Mauro and Co.,) and Hill’s
Pharmacy and all other druggists.
