CONSIDER WELL, THEN VOTE.

Nome will have municipal election next Tues day. Considerable interest is manifested in the re- suit and it is right and proper that such should be the case. An election in a community of this kind serves as vent to the surplus enthusiasm of the average American. Americans "natural- born" politicians; they take to politics as easily as duck takes to water or pickaninny to a watermelon. It well that such is the case, for az long the Amer can people take active, intelligent interest in po tics, so long will the republic endure. The moment that the spirit of apathy seizes the plain people, that moment is the beginning of danger The ancient re- publcs vire and honest, while the voice of the people the voice of God. But there came time when the people grew apathetic and indifferent and the few, the rich and the powerful, the classes, seized the opportunity to make themselves masters and the masses slaves. Then was the first blow struck at liberty which it had taken years of inf nite toll to upbuld
 In Alaska, deprived are, from all partcipa ton in politics. other than local, therefore evince an interest which is wholesome and encouraging. The election of d municipal council and school board and the interest manifest in it, would be laughed at perhaps in more "cvilzed" communities. But 1t is election and the interest is own. We owe duty to ourselves and the community whole. It is duty to vote for the best men, those whom we consider best fitted for official position. No self respecting, strenuous Alaskan will vote for any but men whom he considers worthy to represent himself, his family and the community; he will turn down
 the professional place seeker, the who is chasing public place only for the petty pelf personal ag- grandizement the notoriety that it will bring; he will not vote for any who is charged with being dishonest, who has interest stake, save, per chance, the thatch that his head The cand- dates for office at this election well known, either personally or by reputation to the voters. Good business needed. Therefore, vote for those and only for those in whom you have utmost coni dence If you do this you may be mistaken, but your mistake will be in the right direction.

A QUESTION OF LABOR.

A recent article in the News, to which reference has been made in these columns, stated in effect that S2.5O per day was enough for the laboring man, in this section of Alaska because of changed conditions. TIE NUGGET takes issue with the statement, nowith- standing the fact that today the cost of living in Nome IS as cheap as 1t IS anywhere on the Pacific coast But that this is is due to the keen competi-
 on in business and the large stocks of goods carried by Nome merchants. It is an absurd proposition
 that groceries, dry goods, etc., should be sold in Nome as cheap or even cheaper than they in Seattle san Francisco. And yet such is the case, but this is an abnormal condition; it is unhealthy and cannot be expected to be maintained for any length of time. The business in Nome must perforce carry great CT risks than the business man in Seattle or San Francisco. Here he is practically without insurance; he is under heavy expense in landing his goods from steamers in the roadsead to say nothing of the heavy freight charges that have obtained the past three or four years. Furthermore we believe that the man engaged in business in Alaska is entitled to fair profit for his capital invested and the enterprise he shows When goods of any kind sell in Nome at Seattle prices it is evident that business conditions in Nome far from healthy. These conditions, therefore, being unhealthy cannot obtain for any heightened period. Ruin and bankruptcy must be the inevitable result
 What is true of business conditions applies euual- ly as forcibe to the man who sells his labor It is his commodity, and he certainly should expect to receive higher wage in Alaska than in the states The rigorous climate, his enforced isolation are among the disabilities under which he labors. The Mexican peon is able to live upon few cents day. because his wants few and the means of supply ing them lie close at hand. But in Alaska because of the peculiar conditions noted above only those who are physically strong, the most robust, equipped for severe manual toil. We believe in fair days wage for fair days work, and it is be regretted that there is tendency very apparent to lower the scale of wages paid to labor Of course true that the high rate of wages paid in the boom times of 1899 1900 has passed never to return but because that

In order to give his benefactor Harris, boost for school director the irresponsible Gold Digger ma
 lign, School Directors Cali and But Ter in It's usual shameless manner and lies unblushingly. It states that "wiliul waste and extravag- ance have characterized their every act" An exception IS made as to Director Sawyer, simply because Stevens expects to get few votes on the sandspit. The statement made that the principal of the Nome schools is paid $250 month for teaching TWO pupils IS an un- mitigated lie, and it was made knowingly and maliciously. We would rather see every dollar of the school fund used for the education of the children of Nome, than to turn it over to a city council com posed of notorious ringsters and in competents of which Stevens is a fair type. While THE NUGGET has nothing to say against the merits of any candidate for school direc- tor, it believes that the people can do no better than to re-elect the present school board. At least they are above the suspicion of graft, either petty or wholesale.

time has passed there should be no disposition shown on the part of the employers of labor to force their employees to accept little better than the wages of peon- age. Abnormal business condi- tions such as we have referred to must pass; the wage payer must be enabled to give the wage-earner a fair amount in return for his la Dor; if the country is to be developed there will have to be some induce ment for the laboring man to come here and make his home, but the wages paid in the states of the Union, we wish to point out, can not be used as a basis for the labOring man of this far northland. There have been, so far in the his tory of this mining camp, no labor troubles; and we sincerely trust that it will be long time before they appear. The fair employer of laborer, whether he live in frozen Alaska or in balmy cline has nothing to fear, however. It is those who lack the ability or the inclination to pay a flair days wage for a fair days york;" tha. usually precipitate labor troubles and labor fights.

Truth and decency are strangers to the Nome News; downright lying and chumpy prevarications, deceit and hypocrisy are it's long suit. It was the News which charged Judge Moves, after he was dead, with in augurating a reign of loot and re- prisal," its titular 'editor" having shared in the foot" Now comes this utterly irresponsible graveyard d ghoul and hopes that we are nearing "the end of intrigucs" in Alaska. Yet Titular Editor Steel, a henchman of Alexander McKen- zie, after ploughing for days and weeks with Judge Moves succeeded in busting George V. Borchsenius as clerk of the court. Intriguing forsooth? ?

the gains of prostitution" he was the person who profited by it; if he discharged his duties honestly to himself and to the people his record in the city council and out of it fails to reveal it. He has simply represented himself and used the office for his own personal ends and gain. Nome has had other ncompetens but, as long it shall endure no greater mist will ever occupy seat at it's council board.
 Mir. Stevens is sham so far as his public preten- sions are concerned. He is UNFAIR employer of labor and yet he bids for the vote of the aboring man, basely islanders his colleagues in office, in order to boos, himself indulges in the grossest abrcations; talks of honesty like vertabe Pecksniff and of 'loot" and gains" like modern buncosteerer. If this be the kind of man that the people of Nome want in the city council much mistaken.

The report that Marshal Rich ards is to be superseded may be taken with d grain of allowance. The news to that effect is contained in special dispatch from the Seat tie Post-1ntelligencer's Washington correspondent, that paper being hostile to Marshal Richards. It was the Post -Intelligencer's corre- spondent who, last year, stated that A. B. Hayes of Utah had been ap- pointed judge of the seco,.d judical division of Alaska. Another pecu- liarity in the dispatch is the state ment that MT. Richards lis to be removed" solely because his ac- counts were "paddcd.' If he should be removed there may be consider able disappointment because it was not on the original charge of "jury fixing" But he has not as yet been removed so far as any person in Nome knows.

believed. Both cars were filled with
passengers. The Olive street line has
the right Of way, but the Jefferson ave-

the crossing sped on, and crashed into
the other car. When 1t was seen that
collision was imminent, the passengers
became panic stricken. The impact was
80 violent that the Olive street car was
hurled completely over on its side, and
all the passengers piled in 4 heap. All
the injured were taken In ambulances to
their homes or to the city hospital. i.
A. Peck, motorman of the Jefferson
avenue car, who was held responsible
for the accident, says he made, every
effort to stop his car, but could not do so,
as the sandbox did not work and he only
had an ordinary mandrake to use. +
