THE TRUTH AND THE DEVIL.

The man who adhereS to the strict line o truth is never popular, but he is respected by his mics. And it requires considerable moral courage to tho effect that should tell the truth and shame the devil" But the devil does not need to be shaned while ought to tell the truth. No man is com pelled to lie, yet how many there who prefer to lie rather than to tell the truth, when the truth would far better subserve their purpose. There is another old and homely saying that the truth is not to be told at all times" The saying hold to be truth not told that we should substitute for it lie
 What is right is not always expedient, it is said, but inclined to think that this is sophsm in stead of wisdom Doing right ought not to be a question of expedency, but we are fain to confess that it too frequently is. The trouble with the age man and woman is that their code of morals is made to suit the immediate necessity G"od, real good, people wink at lie sometimes and applaud the perpetrator of the rank untruth. They elastic people, the kind who praying Good Lord, good dtv" for after all they are altogether sure into whose hands they may fall.
 Unpalatable truths sometimes told. Perhaps it woull be better to leave them unsaid but that tacit admission of moral cowardce Truths that are never do serious wrong The few may be injured, but the many will be benefited. This is principle of action that if applied to yday life would puri fy tho moral, religious and political atmosphere of any community or country.

ally. The poor have been succo, ed the sick have been cared for the dead buried by private subscrp- tion, both before and after Nome became an ncorpo- rated town One of the first acts after incorporation was to establish and maintain free public hospital No ono was barred. Previous residence was not called in question, and men were brought hundreds of miles to the city hospital and cared for at the ex pense of the people of the ctythe payers There was no obligation upon the city to care for frozen Kougarok or Kotzebue musher, save the moral one. but 1t was done always and done in ungrudging manner. The city, today, makes provision for the care of the indigent sick in Holy Cross hospital but we submit, in justice to the heavily bur dened tax payers of the city, they should be peed to for the sick and indigent of entire second judicial division merely because Nome is incorporated municipality.
 During the past year so the Eskimos have been congregating in the towns that have sprung up in various parts of the peninsula. Disease has hold of them and they threaten to become permanent charges upon the people The official representatives of tho United States government alege that they have not the power the authority to relieve of urgent distress, such as we have mentioned. We assume that these statements are honestly made but yet do not believe them. If we not grieviously mis- taken, appropriations for the relief of the ndigent and the sick have been heretofore made by direction of the courts and those called in question.
 THE NUGGET believes that this question of the of the Edgent and sick natives and the white indi- gent and sick, well, is most important It calls for immediate attention because the demands upon the tax payers of Nome and this entire section are bound to increase from year to year. We owe duty to ourselves ought to protect ourselves from uni just mposons, if we Failing to protect selves we can, at least, utter protests.

A WORTHY OBJECT.

One of the objects for which the Alaska Academy of Sciences" organized, we are informed, is to prevent far possible the dissemination of un- authentic information" concerning Alaska. The so- ciety has undertaken la udabe task but at the same time, difficult of accomplishments Much good may be done along these lines, however. The acade- my cannot make liar tell the truth. but it can see And, in the first place. would respectfully suggest that the Academy of Sciences commence right here at home Let it help to disseminate authentic infor- nation about Alaska first to the people who live in it. There is good field for missionary work of tl. kind. There is any number of people who live in Alaska, but who know nothing about and care less
 The Academy of Sciences hep to cultivate an Alaskan spirit, even among those consider them selves merely temporary sojourners. In broad sense or woman should be loyal to the country which ives him or her bread and butter They have duty which they owe to the country because of the succor it gives them. - Alaska is land of magnificent probabilities. It strikes that have said this before but it is here repeated, and any society organization which ha. for it's object the exploitation of the truth about Alaska, should receive the fullest support from all citizens who have the wellbeng of the territory at heart. Tie day will come when man, or woman, will be ashamed to say"I arh from Alaska" Indeed,
 it will be rather considered an honor to be a citizen of a commonw eaI'h of such magnificent promise.

The Nome nugget., 1903-01-10

If Congress should give Alaska a delegate at the present session, which is likely or unlikely. accord ing to the point of view, the elec- tlon will probably occur not later than next August. If we were in- clined to speculate we might point out the fact that holding a general election in Alaska will be no small task and 1t will entail a great deal of expense. But the expense is neither here nor there." We arc entitled to representation in Con- gress. Our years of probation have been long enough, and we can never expect to derive any req. benefit from congressional legisla- ton until we have Il live Alaskan in Congress to tell that body di- rectly our needs and requirements. We believe that Congress. like Barkis. is willin' to do something for us as soon as it is known what we really y need. And our need is great, while our strength is small.
