MORNING AND EVENING PAPERS

An editorial article i'll the Duluth
Herald emphasizes its conviction that
the evening paper is the one which
gives the best service. and cnulner-
ates a number OF features In which
the evening paper. by reason OF the
time Of it. publication. eNccls. The
Duluth Herald. of course. is an aft
ernoon paper. If it We're a morning
paper it would doubtless enun.erate
the superior ability OF the morning
paper TO give its readers good SER
vice. And either way is right.
Assuming equal energy in the col.
lection, and equal accuracy in the
presentation of news. the morning
service can give more prompt service
on certain classes Of news. aud the
evening paper on others. Occur
rences of the early part of the day
and UP to the middle Of the afternoon,
are best covered by the evening pa
per. Those things which occur in
the late afternoon and evening belong
properly to the field Of the morning
paper.
The advantage Of the position &C.
cupied by the Tilpes-fIerald company
is that it occupie. both fields, and is
able to serve its patrons both ways.
Many OF its patrons buy and read
both its papers, in order to have the
latest information all the time. Those
who wish only one are able to select
that II which ministers tn their
needs most fully.
ii service to the outlying territory
is affected by train service which
makes the morning paper more desir-
able to n locality, and tha even
ing paper to another. From this of.
flee is issued a special mail edition
Of the. Evening Times which goes

The Nome daily nugget., 1913-12-18

It might be good idea to increase the officials of most cities by adding < make 'em work department" We do not mean that this new department in civic affairs is to make the other city departments work. All city de- partmcnta. everywhere. AS well as all government departments are over worked as 1t Is at present. This sug- tested new official should make 1t his business to find jobs for everyone In town who is not busy most of the day every day.
 The job doesn't need to have a sal ary attached to it. If it did two things would happen. There would not be any need of a department to put peo- i,le on the jobs and tiie people wouldn't work very hard after they were put on.
 What we want Is Il city department that can get all the men and all of the women to take up some sort of osedoy eutpsV!uaSht tu"t W"i "NN"Ps most of their time and leave them tired eDaugh at night to go io bed without . kick about something.
 That is the main object of this sug- gcsted new department. To obliterate the kicker.
 No one ever hears the busy man or the busy woman going around kicking about things as they are. They have not the time to waste on finding fault with the way things arc run md the way things are done. They are too busy attending to their own affairs.
 End man who Is always criticls- ing everything and you will find either a lazy man or man out of job or q man whose job is such sinccure that all he has to do is 10 stand around with q lot of other men holding down the same sort of . job and crlticise his svperiors or the government. or. in case hc happens to Dc working for the government. everything else in the world.
 These are tho sort of people that the new department in the city govern ment should handle. Keep 'en busy. no a job of some kind and you will eliminate that greatest of all human pests the everlasting fault finder and kicker.
 It is not necessary to put all of tho idle men to work cleaning snow on the city streets. or writing editorials for tho daily papers. There arc lots of other things that they can do to help along civic enterprises.

The house committee has reported ffy orably the Burnett immigration b,l, which if passed will curtaE the influx of Asiatics. and this means more particularly the Japaneece. into .u, country. Incidentally the same hill would keep out all avowed anar- ckists.
 The measure is a most excellent one and 1t is heartily to be desired that h .h houses of r ngress speedily en- act the bill into a law. leaving tn " the prohibitive features as regards As,atics and Anarchists.
 Of the two the anrchists are perhaps tho more desirable for the crimes com mitted against society by these fana- ,,c. are of a kind that can be seen ana su.rded against.

 Hut there are moral laws that mean

 The anarchist would perhaps retard the physical development of the coun- fry if the enarchist was in large enough numbers to be seriously con- sidered. which he is not. But the Oriental, while he adds nothing to the material development is constantly undermining the moral strength Of the community ini which he settles and he does this in such an artful snakeiike way that his hand is seldom seen m the work until 1t is too late to save ms victim.
 Another thing in this connection IS that the anarchist is hardly to be con- sidered in the question constantly oe' veloping in regard to labor matters for the honest worker has no more ,,e. for the anarchist than has the honest employer or any other law ahidine citizen. Hut the honest Amer icon laborer has a great deal to think otout in connection with the importa' tion of the silent. industrious Oriental who can live on less than tho Amer ican workman. who seldom has fam- fly to support and who has no con- science whatever when 1t comes to taking the work that by rights belongs to the citizen of this country who de- mands an honest wage for an honest days work.
 Two classes of people should Dc glad to hear the news that the congresston' nl committee is going to report tnc Burnett bill favorably.
