The Nome Chamber of Commerce only did what 1t owes to itself and the town and district when it appointed . committee to join with the committee of the city council to meet the excur- sionists who will come here next month. The telegraphic advices told us yesterday that the president of the United States has recognized the inn portance of such a visit and Nome would indeed have placed itself in a
 peculiar position if 1t had neglectei
 its obvious duty in the matter
 An organization such as the cham
 Der of commerce is vitally impor-
 tant to any community. Not only
 should the business and professional
 men of cities be members of such bo-
 dies but mining men should also take
 an active interest The greatest pos
 sible good can be done by having some
 organization to keep the resources of . country always before the minds
 of outsiders. If the business men of all kinds do not take such affairs in
 hand 1t is a certainty that the pulers
 never will and that the locality will sufYer incidentally.
 It is always evident that business men are poor in attendance at meet ings. Most of the time they are oc- cupied with some matters which take up all their attention and when meet inss come around many of them are conspicuous by their absence. They ought to remember. however, that what is good for the community gem orally is good for themselves indlvidu- ally.
 The committee to be appointed Dy the president of the chamber of com merce will soon be at work preparing in conjunction with the city council committee for the reception of tue visitors. It might be not amiss to suggest that the visitors rave described to them the resources # all parts of the peninsula. Get hose magazine men going in the pro- Ter direction and never let them be- Ieve that the resources of Alaska end vhen one arrives on Seward peninsula. ct the personal representative of the sec our railroad and let him now what 1t would mean to have the mileage tax taken from It.

ton has been brought about with the
 advent of the white man into the country; the natives have contracted his disease. with the result that de-
 generation and Generalization are rapidly exterminatlng the native population. Al proof of this asser- ton pr. Krplish points out that the native population of Alaska decreased 14.5 per cent. between 1900 and 1910.
 The causes leading up to this are found In the unsanitary condition of most of the houses in the villages. crowded and unventiiated. where the inmates eat from the same disn. drink from the same teapot spout and expectorate on the same floor. The advent of civilization even into Alaska is evidently not altogether a blessing. The imposition of the advantages or disadvantages of one race on another usually leads to the gradual elimina- ton of the weaker race.

probably ws will be able to worry along in spite of the loss of several
 million dollars worth of peits. The protection of fur seals probably does not make very strong appeal to the citizens of Anacortes, anyway. as the
 fur-bearing animal az we'll as his light clad brother of warmer climates
 probably kills more salmon in the course of year. than the sum total of the seasons pack. Salmon is . staple article of food for all classsc while seal skins are luxury for few.
 The maritime nations of N7rthern Europe, where the fishing industry is of great importance. formerly pro tected the fur seal. but that animal reduced the fish supply to such m extent that the production WIS ro- moved. Since then the number of fur seals has been reduced and the ash catch is becoming larger every year.
 Thus. Anacortes does not "view with alarm'' any reduction of the seal herds of the North and shoul'! the time come when the nsh supply be- gins to fall off Anacortes may join h . biz protest against the protection of the solmon's most deadly enemy

Official Paper
NOME. ALAskA, JUNE % 1918.

A mas meeting of the people of
 Nom< and tho whole district decided
 last night that the mining bill passed
 by the Alaslka legislature should be
 repealed or nullined. They decided
 this by c vote which was practically
 unanimously, less than half dozen
 people voting the other way out of
 hundreds that crowded the city hall.
 It seems to be evident from the words of the members of the legisla. ture who spoke about the bill that they are not prepared to discuss 1t without having the copy of the bill before them. This fact leads to the belief that bills were voted for by members of the legislature before they were fully cognixant of the full text of such bills. There were more than . hundred bills altogether presented to the legislature in the sixty days ses. sion and 1t is apparent that the lesis- lature could not fully discuss bills at the rate of three per day. It would 1 not be just to condemn the members l hastily. They probably voted honest ly and with the intention of doing the best they could but 1t would be impossible for them to study % many bills and do them justice. The fault has been with the Alaska legislature that has been with many other new esfslatures-they went In for too much slation-they decided too much for quantity and too little for quality.
 When the assessment clause of the bill was first published in th9 Nugget this paper stated that the section would inhict damage on poor men perhaps more than rich men n the poor man could not meet the expenses of patenting 70 we'll as the other This view seems to be the view of the great majority and the meeting last night was positive proof of thu fsct hat the bill should never have been ,assed without at least having tts op- nions of the people whom 1t affected.

THE USUAL REFUGE.

The assassin who shot the King OF
Greece is represented as weak. minded,
confused Of intellect, and absolutely
unable to give any reason, even the
oretic OF an anarchistic reason, for
his act. So far as could be ascertained,
there was confused notion IN his
mind that anarchy was the right thing,
and that rulers ought to be killed De
cause they were rulers, and that the
organized governments of all kinds
ought to be broken down and the
laws set aside.
Yet when he was arrested he did
not fail to realize that the laws. in.
stitutions and organized government
which he so bitterly sssailed and
wished to DESTROY were his only pro,
lection against the surgiug mob which
would have torn him TO pieces. He
demanded in piteous entreaty to he
taken 70 the police station so that
the crowd should not maltreat him.
He feared at once for his personal
safety and for the pains that the mob
might infict upon his BODY. He was
not in the least concerned about the
pain that he inflicted upou the King.
but was immensely concerned abou,
the pain that might be inflicted upon
himself.
Il is the same with all of the mur.
derous anarchists. with all Of the bru
tai foes Of society. theoretically thew
are opposed to everything that is or
derly. and to the organizations of so.
eicty and government as they stand.
And vet they are extremely ready to
take advantage of every point in these
organizations that Will help themselves.
The courts are their pet animosity. but
their first refuge, and they instantly
demand the protection OF the police
whenever they have committed an
atrocious crime II they were at all

out boldly and defy society. not only
in the crimes that they commit. bu,

their own safety and they dread above
