NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 1s, 1918.

Once more Alaskan waters have been the scene of catastrophe which has brought death to many and grief to the greater number that are left to mourn their relatives. Since the rush of white settlers into the territory such occurrences have been more com- mon, perhaps. than they have been in any other country of equal population. The stories of ships that have sunk and of lives that have been lost would fill large and sad volume, and even now when the eyes of the whole coun- try are turned towards this territory the story still runs on of lives sacri- feed by what are calmly called "un- charted rocks"
 The coast of this territory may be too extensive to expect that in the few short years since the rush the govern ment could have prepared the way in Alaskan waters for safe navigation. For years the people have asked and begged for aids to navigation of all kinds but the requests are anly slow ly and. apparently, grudgingiy ans- wered. Where great help was needed only slight assistance was given and then only when some horrible occur- renee came to emphasize the petitions of the people. The policy of waiting for the loss of lives so that other lives might be saved seems to have been the policy connected with the regula- tion of steamship traffic in these northern waters and the sacrifice of the people who died when the State of California hit an uncharted rock may result in the throwing of one more sop. Once more we may have an appropriation of s15.000 and twen- ty people claiming the credit of hav- ing 1t granted and once again we may receive the relief which comes in the shape of handouts as "biack disaster follows fast and follows faster"

The hearst papers are bitter foes of Tammeny and, of course. everything they say should be taken with a grain of salt when dealing with the big New York political organization. but as the New York American is the only paper from that state which is on the Nugget exchange list its views are used as matters relating to the pre- sent trouble in New York are interest ing. The following is an editorial from tile New York American:
 With an expensive legislature do- ing nothing at Albany, and with all state departments paralyzed by a petty squabble, MT. Charles Francis Murphy, to whose surprising stupidity the state owes this condition of affairs spends his afternoons playing golf at Southampton. It will interest the suf- fering taxpayers to know that MT. Murphy, to use his own language, chronicled by an admiring reporter, regards himself as a pretty bum' golfer. Even with three supreme court judges looking at him with the adula- ton due his high station the boss "foozled" a drive and had to drop fresh seventy five cent ball in order 10 keep in the game.
 MT. Murphy's bum" golf naturally pains the dignified judges who go ninety miles to watch 1t. They are in terested in keeping him in a good humor, and blunders on the links are likely to superinduce fits of bad tenn per. The judges, according to the chronicle, went away heavy hearted.
 But MT. Murphy's golf Is of no more importance to the general public. and to the democratic organization in par ticular. than his grammar, which is of much the same quality.
 What interests the public. and what ought to interest his leaders, is his politics, which Is no better than hls golf.
 With whole state ticket, includ- ing an overwhelming majority of the legislature. he has made the worst mess of a state government that 1t has ever been the misfortune of the people to endure. Refusing to let the legisla- ture to carry out plain. straightfor- ward platform pledge. he devoted all his energies to getting unfit men ap- pointed to office. He got few. When he could not get enough to suit him he quarreled with the governor and precipitated row that bids fair at any time to turn into a riot.
 "Packy" McCabe, George Palmer and "The" McManus are all men of more intelligence than Murphy. but one might search the state to find trio worse qualified to fill high public positions. And because the governor to his credit refused to appoint these AuCA ho puUhC bcEtACG SOtuAutSstuHCt6 6 the boss, from the golf course and from the restaurant where he has his office. has directed that all state busi- ness be kept at a standstill.
 It is of little importance that in do- ing this he has compassed his own political destruction. It is of big im- portance that his stupidity threatens the destruction of the democratic party.
 Murphy can do little harm playing "bum" golf. Playing the same kind of politics he can do infinite harm, and the sooner the men in Tammany hall find it out the better 1t will be for themselves ana for their organiza- ton.
