The Nome daily nugget., 1911-05-20

man avenue. For several years Kester
 way Was about the center of the busi-
 ness district. but now it has travelled
 west until it centers around the Mug get office.
 The heart of the town or it's center can now be called the building where
 the Nome Nugget is published and business houses and firms are keeping their eyes opened for business sites in that vicinity.
 Many changes have taken place in the last seven months or since the Daily Nugget moved into its new quarters in the Nome Bank IS Trust building. Dr E. F. Hill was able to read the hand writing on the wall and like Fred Bourbon. the barber, came in close second after we had moved. Then for a while it was a toss up to the firm securing the corner Ioca- ton in the Nome Bank X Trust build ing. Moller & Ince no doubt would have secured it last faIl had they not owned their own store on the corner of Front street and B
 The Woman's Exchange and MT. Lehman are the last two to move into the neighborhood.
 Strikes the world over seem to be quite the fashion at the present time and We are told that they are the best weather vanes of prosperity At best strike is a loser to all, no matter how one looks at it. True there are many good principals involved in strikes but the real martyrs are the wives and little ones at home screened from the gaze of all eyes who suffer the bangs of hunger and cold. that the man of the house may continue the battle and bring about better times | and better wages. But does he accom- | plish this? Does he not pave the way for some other fellow not so closely as sociated but who went to help make up the reserve, instead of being on the firing line, or in the thickest of the fray?
 In looking back over the industrial | field, with the vast army of working men enrolled under its many banners. with the exception of Goimpers. Mitch | ell and a few other leaders directing the great movement, can we actually state that the real fighter, for better :. times and conditions-the working man-is better off today than he was l three decades ago. wheL the different | trades commenced to form into unions | for mutual protection? Is it not iU.t as hard to make bo,h ends meet tnday 9 Does the working ,l v own any more homes in proportion than he did thirty years ago?
 After all isn't success the blossom of hard knocks that are bound to l come in the ups and downs of life. talk ing it as you find it; but ever moving on and gaining a little as the years go by Is it not a thorny bush which | grows among the rocks and flourishes only under the pertinacious effort. much the same as the produce is tilleo from the sail of Nv England. SO greatly over cultivated and under de- veolped as one of our local politicians has stated
 Is it not fact that success is q plant germianted from within? That the seed of this plant cannot be pur- chase in stores, neither can your neighbor give you cuttings: but a plant that must breed in the individuals brain and be cultivated by the same individuals own persistence?
