HOME RULE WHEN?

IL is a cinch that Alaska will never receive home rule until the democrats elect a president and control congress, that is so long as the present condi- tions exist. The republicans are wise to what We need and in their wisdom realize that Alaska is not ready for home government
 The democrats are going to have home rule for Alaska as one of their platform blanks in the next convention to be adopted. Well it may help some with those who will be in the country when they are elected. but the real wise people of Alaska, those who will have to foot the bills Will hold off just as long as they can before going on record as being willing to dig down into their pockets 10 support "home rule. %
 Just as long as the people of this country can be listed in the migratory classification column just so long should We be deprived of home rule. We are here today and there tomorrow. Not one per cent of the people want to make this their home. Every mothers

WHY IS CHAMP CLARKE

In one of his frivolous moments. Oliver Wendell Holmes writes of a young man of whom he says: "Fate tried to conceal him by calling him Clark. but the redoubtable Champ went to the mat with fate and won out.
 The next speakers full name is James Beauchamp Clark. When he went out into the world he discovered that Clark was the sixth most common name in America, and that James was nearly as prevalent as John or the measles. James B. also was curiously numerous, and James B. Clark far from unusual In the young mans town was a man of that name who used to get his letters and throw them away This was very annoying. So the future statesman dropped James, and became Beauchamp Clark. Beauchamp is a we'll known name out west. They pro- nounce it Beecham, like that of the Englishman who makes pills Now. one of the incoming speakers hobbies is accurate expression, and it irritated him to be called Beecham, when it should have been called Boshom, with the accent on the shom. Painstaking investigation finally convinced him that only a Frenchman could say it properly, anyway, SO he made up his mind to drop one of the syllablcs. and after due consideration he picked Baeu as the one to go. We hear of Repre- sentative Underwood. Congressman Payne. ahd others, but never of Rep resentative or Congressman Clark. It Is always Champ Clark. as if hyphen-

OFFICIAL PAPER.
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 2, 1911.
WE ARE PROGRESSIVE.

The real live paper the Nugget is turning out these days must hurt in some quarters. We are giving our subscribers more news than ever be- fore for they need it at this season of the year.
 Just now when the peope are waiting for the first steamers to arrive and discharge their passengers and freight, tuned up to a high tension, so eat is the strain that the least touch causes vibrations that affect the nerve center and are liable to make one for get it is spring time when the milk of human kindness should like the sap in the trees be mounting upward to furnish life to every part of the body and to keep us in tune with nature which IS always kind.
 Just now We are putting our best foot forward to dll our paper with in tcresting news happenings of the out side world as well as local affairs. We realize the mind should be diverted at times and are publishing more solid reading matter than any paper has ever published in Nome since the history of the camp.
 IL has been the custom in the past to fin up page three of the daily paper with clippings from outside exchanges hut the members of the Nugget staff are placing real live news direct from the Associated Press dispatches. sent to us here in Nome. and We feel that the public appreciates the extra effort We are making in their behalf
 Al no time in the history of the camp has the circulation of the Nugget been as great as it has during the past winter, and miners now coming to town are subscribing for our paper in a manner that proves it pays to fill the columns with live reading matter, and relegate all legal advertising possible to the weekly. so as not to fill up the daily.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

No nation in the world except Hun gary excels the United States in the number oe marriages in proportion to the population. but on the other hand only one nation surpasses Uncle Sam's domain in a proportiouate number of divorces.
 No state in the world equals the Indian territory in the number of mar riages in pro ratio to its population. and preachers can scarcely get sleep on account of the needless chain of would-be welded.
 In divorces the state of Washington has the record of all the states in the United States, for every year there are .513 divorces for every 100, GOO of popu- lation. Montana comes next, with Colorado third and Arkansas fourth.
 Wyoming is unique with a very low marriage record and very high di- yorce record.
 There are less diyorees in Ireland than in any civilized nation in the world, and more in Switzerland than in any European nation. Next to Ire land, Austria comes next in the rarity of divorce. This Is accounted for on the grounds of the large Roman Cath ollie population and it's emphatic oppo- sition to divorce.
 The industrious statistician has found that where women are the com plainants cruelty Is the leading cause for divorce; drunkenness comes next and desertion third. Where men com plain and ask for divorce inndelity is tho customary reason. In 1906 there were 72.OOO divorces granted in the United States, an increase Of 10000 over the previous year. Wouldn't that make Cupid weep and cause him petu- lantly to discard his bow and culver.
