DISCRIMINATION EFFECTED.

We believe that We voice the sentiment
of the community when We say that the city
council has done the city great injury in
meddlng with the fire department. 1t was
understood that politics was TO be elimi-
mated from the fire department, but we are
compelled to admit that il looks as though
it is of more Importance to build up politi-
cal machine within the fire department than
it is to have thoroughly efficient organiza-
ton. The late fire department-for such
we must call it-has done efficient service.
The men composing it were faithful and
capable, yet the city council were not con
tent with competency and efficiency. What
excuse do the members of the city council
have to offer for the present disorganized
condition of the department 1t seems to
US that this is question that appeals direct
ly to every property owner in the town.
And we unhesitatingly state our belief that
the resultant disorganization is solely due to
the introduction of miserably small village
politics. If the business men of the cOmmu
nifty had an effective organization of any
kind it might act as brake upon the city
council And now would be good time to
apply it,

JUST A LITTLE. REMINDER.

THE NUGGETS weekly contemporary
read the saloon men highly moral lecture
in a recent issue This would be all right,
perhaps, if our contemporary owner were
not himself engaged in the liquor business,
and for his newspaper to talk turkey to
other men in the same business savOrs
good deal of "Satan rebuking sim Our
contemporary assumes to believe that the
saloon men should not presume to be PERM
ciously active in politics, especially when
that activity interferes with the plans or
policies of its owners. OF course our con-
temporary does not state this in explicit
language, but this is the Interpretation that
must be given to it, Now, to nOn-pOliti-
clan, it would seem that a saloon man has
just as much right to put in his thumb and
draw out plum from a political pie as a
man who sells cigars or mukluks or news
papers. So far as the city of Nome is con-
cerned, the saloon men pay seventy five per
cent OF the taxes, all of which goes to the
support of the municipality and the public
schools. The taxes paid into the city treas
ury by the cigar dealers, mukluk men and
newspapers look like fifteen cents in com
parson.
Now, we have no particular fault to find
with our contemporary lecturing the saloon
men. They can stand it, no doubt, and it
affords little amusement, but as an alb
stract matter of simple truth it must not be
forgotten that but for the revenues derived
from the men who own and conduct saloons
the salary attached to the Office of chief of
police would not cause any applicant or his
sponsors to lie awake nights revolving
plans how to secure it. And there would
be no deadlock in the city council over the
appointment.

form-of spreading Western ideas and
Western methods among the other nations

against the ancient, a fact which has been

FOR CIVILIZATION AND CHRISTIANITY.

Japan, in her present conflict with Rus
STA, is the representative of English and
American religious and commercial ideas,
as against the religious and commercial
ideas of the Orient, according to the state
ment of an American clergyman who spent
twenty years in Japan. To those who have
paid little attention to the progress which
Japan has been making in the last thirty
years there are some who profess to look
upon the fight now going on in Asia as a
battle between Christianity and heathen
ism; between the white man and the yellow;
between the forces of civilization and those
of barbarism. But the clergyman referred
to claims to know Japan and what Japan
stands for as few Americans do, for he
learned his lesson on the ground in intimate
daily contact with the Japanese during the
period when they have been making their
greatest strides forward. He asserts vigor-
ously that the Japan of today has nothing
in common with the retrogressive attitude
of other Asiatic countries. 1t is progressive
intensely, vitality SO; it is living and active
member of the Western community of
states. 1t has before it that which it is

HELPING THE ESKIMO.

In another part of this paper will be
found an interesting account of fair held
recently at Cape Prince of Wales by the
Eskimo of that place, under the superinten-
dence of Mr. H. j. Lee 1t was success.
although the first of the kind ever held.
The natives, as soon as they fully under
stood its object, lent their hearty assistance,
and the display of their manufactures must
have been an interesting one. Mr.. Lees
practical ideas are we'll worth considering.
The natives were given an object lesson;
they received prizes for the work that was
adjudged the best exhibit Hereafter, those
who did not receive prizes will be spurred
on to do better and, perhaps, more work
The spirit of emulation will be ncOuraged.
There is. however, broader side to this
exhibition of native wares and workman
ship. 1t is contained in the fact, that given
practical encouragement and some pecuniary
aid, the solution of the Eskimo problem can
be reached. There is no use Disgusting the
fact that the influx of white men, the build
ing of towns and the settlement of the coun-
try has brought evil rather than good to the
natives. They have grown shiftless and
lazy by reason of their residence in or about
the towns. The charity that has been ex-
tended to them has often been instructed,
inasmuch. as they have been quick to take
advantage of it, losing their dependence up
on their own efforts, so long as the white
men will furnish them sustenance or means
wherewith to purchase it.
In these columns we have frequently
pointed out what we believe would be an
etfectual plan for the permanent we'll being
of the Eskimo. 1t is to place within his
reach, at the lowest possible cost, the means
by which he may earn his living. Give him
the implements that he needs, including
boats, nets, etc; let him be shown modern
methods of fishing and hunting: teach him
that if he eats he must work, and if he is
indolent or lazy he must suffer the conse-
quences. DR.. Sheldon Jackson is advocat-
ing the herding of these people in reserva-
tions, but he offers no plans by which their
industry can be encouraged and rewarded
To place these natives on reservations after
the manner of the plains Indians of the west
and to provide them with rations, would be
to destroy them utterly and make them a
worse nuisance, if possible, than the fat and
greasy Indians, who look with ever-recur-
ring regularity to the arrival of ration day
on the reservation.
