WILL SKAGWAY RESPOND
 TO THE CALL OF DISTRESS?

The news that was flashed over the wires last week of the appal- ling disaster at Nome whereby a pro perty loss of over $l,000,OO0 was sustained and many people rendered homeless and destitute, has arous- ed the sympathy of the entire coun- try. That only one life was crush ed out amidst the flying wreekage, Is miraculous and about the only thing upon which the people of the stricken district have reason for con graduation. Many of the residents of Nome have seen the accumulation of years of hardship and toll swept away in the twinkling Of an eye, and are now forced to face the rigors Of an Arctic winter without any of the comforts and but few Of the necessities of life.
 In times past the people Of Nome have responded nOJly to calls for assistance from cities and cOmmuo- ities that have been visited by fire and flood and earthquake. At the time Of the disastrous Caurorula earthquake the people of Nome contributed more to the relief of the sufferers than any other city of the same population in the country, and the widespread movement now m- derway for their relief is but a fit- ting recognition of their past fiber ality and help to others in the hour of need.
 In outside cities, as well as the towns and villages of Alaska, the relief movement is going forward. The Red Cross society of Washing ton City has notified Mayor Jones of Nome to draw on it for $500, and in Juneau, our next door neighoor, the work is being pushed with wig CT, while the people of Skagway have not taken a single step nor given any attention toward a move ment that should have aroused their united sympathy and enlisted their heartiest cooperation
 Mayor Carter, of Juneau, as soon as authentic news of the disaster reached that city, sent the following dispatch:
 Mayor Jones, Nome, Alaska:
 Juneau extends symathy. Can we aid you ia any way? Answer by cable"
 While Skagway has so far taken no steps toward the relief of the Nome sufferers, We believe that it has not been through a disregard for their distress, but is due rather to an oversight on the part of those who are supposed to take the lead in cases of emergency such as this.
 It is not too late yet for us to redeem ourselves and show to the world that although we are slow to act our hearts are warm and our purses always open to, cries of dis aster, regardless of the section from which they come.

IS THERE ANY REAL
CAUSE FOR ALARM
A Further Appeal to the Parents Of
Caldwell.

Caldwell.
In Tuesday morning report OF the
very interesting meeting of the Cald-
well citizens held at the Commercial
club Monday evening to consider
some things said by me in recent
sermon, it is stated that the Minis
ter fails to make good simple state
ment made by him in his Sermon" etc.
Perhaps it is rather singular fact
that not single person of the large
audience who heard the sermon, was
among those who offered any objec-
tons to what had been said in the
sermon. However that may be, it
makes very little difference to the
parents of Caldwell. The question
with them is, do conditions exist in
the town, which clearly indicate that
parents need to give more careful at
tention to the moral welfare of their
children? The fact remains that a
reputable doctor has made state
ment that in his practice he has dis
covered a deplorable immoral condi-
ton existing among children of school
age in our town and community.
There is no other conceivable mo-
tive for his making this statement,
than that he wishes to arouse the peo-
pie to existing conditions for their
own good. The statement is so ap-
palling that we can hardly believe it,
though it certainly is not harder to
believe than the one, of the three doc
tors. that in all of their several years
Of practice in Caldwell they have new
ar had single case of venereal dis
ease among children of school age.

judgment, statements of such a nature
