Senator Bacon's guarded statement
to the senate that the chance for
peaceful mediation in Mexico are small
ana that the president is face to face
with the gravest emergency that has
faced this country in many years may
be taken as Il warning by the entire
country.
His further declaration that an ex-
plosiOn of public feeling would take
place if the full facts Of the Mexican
situation were revealed may also be
taken to heart by all the domain nt
Little AmerIcanism.
The message from Mexico that Pre-
sident Huerta will not treat FIX Gov
ernor Linds mission seriously was
clearly. forespOken in this newspaper
yesterday morning. If the president
unofficial envoy is not publicly insult
ed in Mexico he will not escape by
reason Of any acute perception in our
state department of the situation in
President Huerta's capital.
When all the peaceful efforts Pre-
sident Wilson thinks 1t right to make

try instantly and sturdly beside him
in the final and inevitable sacrifice and

bued with a dislike for the artificial
means employed in monarchial com
tries by some people to prove an i'm
agined superiority over the common
run Of mortality. They are just as
firm in their belief in democratic
form Of government az their fore
fathers were when they showed their
strength and love of liberty by throw
ing Off the yoke OF monarchy and set
ting up a government by. with and for
the people. But, today the govern
ment which Haldane represents has
gone as far as any democratic gov
eminent in giving the power to
the many and wrenching 1t
from the few. Haldane himself has
recently been made lord and this
would appear to show that he is the
representative and the upholder Of
monarchlal government hut he has
really no doubt. accepted the title as
n social triumph while retaining the
desire to place the power in the hands
OF all the people. This apparent in
consistency can he understood by say
ing that even here in our little mining
ceive obsequlous homage from people
with social aspirations while the same
people would never consent to have
the government changed from a demo-
Cracy to an "aristocraCy" or autoCracv.
Haldane belongs to government
which has given old age pensions. has
insured against unemployment. has
taxed the rich more than they have
ever been taxed before, and particular
ly the land holders. 1t has given
Great Britain a more democratic form
Of government than Cromwell would
have dared to give. 1t has really Gre
ated a revolution without shedding 4
drop Of blood almost as great in the
luton itself and 1t has brought Great
Britain nearer t. a realization OF tn"
American standard Of government
than a monarchy. perhaps. ever went
before.
For this reason the reception Of the
present minister uf war by the United
| States will bc the reception Of one who
does not represent an autocratic or
aristocratic form of government hut ~
| one who is the representative Of a gov
eminent which has received its les
sons from the American and other re-
violations and is willing OF those les
sons To make use.

NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. I, 1918.

The Dawson News says that the
people of the Shishuna are now trying
L. have extended the time for doing
their location work. They find. ac-
cording Ia the News. that the time
given is too short to stake a claim
return for provisions and go back to
perform the work which is necessary
before they can record their claims.
This condition of affairs was pre-
dicted in the Nugget quite little
time ago. This paper stated the be-
lief that the man who is broke has
no chance against the man who goes
into a new mining camp with money.
When the fact was pointed out to Il
member of the Legislature, long be-
fore the news came of the dissatisfac-
tion Of the Shishana, that member OF
the legislature said that no harm
would be done anyhow if the fellow
who went in to a new strike on "a
shoestring" did get left. II may he
said that this legislator may have
made this remark. as men often make
remarks To gain momentary advan-
tage in an argument and he may not
have meant to Ice hard on THE shoe
string" pr"smctor at all hut his re-
mark is Illuminating just H." same
The fact Of the matter is, without Il
doubt. that the sh""strin; miner, the
fellow who is about hrnkct is the man
who is going to suff'r most by this
provision and by some other provis-
ions of the new mining law. 1t was
stated in the Nugget and it is stated
again that the poor wretch who has

M. o. SAMUELS is SURELY
GOING TO LEAVE NOME

That NJ. D. Samuels is surely going
to leave Nome and engage in business
in southeast Alaska has been ascer-
tanned from him directly. The fact that
he advertised to that effect was not ta-
ken by everybody as meaning surely
that he is going but there can be no
doubt about 1t.
1t is no advertising plan at
all but the stra light truth and the camp
will soon lose one OF its most promi-
nent oldtimers and one Of its most
progressive business men.

Saturday and Sunday so that the stock

OPEN YELLOWSTONE PARK
TO AUTOMOBILE TOURISTS

WASHINGTON, May 21.-"I see
no objection to opening the Coulter
vile road and also the Big Oak Flat
road from Crane Flat to Point juno
tion to automobiles, was portion of
a telegram sent by Secretary of the
Interior Lane today to Major Little
brant, acting superintendent of the
Yosemite National Park, regarding
the admission of automobiles.
Perhaps you had better confer
with county officials having jurisdic-
tion over the roads and get sugges-
tions," the telegram added. "All
bridges should be carefully tested and
the dangerous portions of the roads
properly protected before the date of
the opening. Be sure the regulations
do not permit the use of any other
than the north side of the road with
in the valley, and then only as a
means of direct ingress. There must
be no motoring on the floor Of the
valley other than is necessary for in
gress and egress."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition of the mu.
cous surfaces.

PROGRESSIVE DINNER
BY JUNIORS TO SENIORS

Among the commencement's fes-
tivities the progressive dinner given
by the juniors complimentary to the
seniors will stand out in bold relief
for all time on memory's wall.
Not a member of the guests of hon
or was absent from this class func-
ton which met for the soup course at
the home of Helen Hair where, on
the shady lawn long table beauti
fully laid and decorated in green and
white, place cards in the same color,
bibs for napkins, and spoons after
wards bestowed as souvenirs, gave
much cause for merriment.
Thus fortified, they went to the
home of Dwight Jewell, who had
rug strewn lawn at their disposal and
where perfection salad was partaken
of, each being assigned to his seat
by hand painted place cards, also
Kept as souvenirs.
A committee comprising one fourth
of the junior class did the honors at
the various courses.
The crowd progressed to the home
of Ruth Hathaway where the
piece de resistance was served
after the company had been seated
by means of hand decorated cards at
tables decorated in black and yellow
pansies, black and yellow being the
class colors of the seniors. Roast
beef, esCalloped potatoes, rolls but
ter, Jelly and pickles repaired dam
ages done by their brisk walk and
strengthened by such substantial
nourishment they were able to con-
tinue their wanderings which termin-
ated at the home Of Gladys Conklin.
Not even the stack OF encyclopedias
upon which perched a wise old owl
who made room on his foundation of
knowledge for pair of speCtacles and
diploma could take away the appe-
tite of youth and the small chinks
remaining were filled up with such
trifles as chocolate and lemon ice
cream, served in generous slices from
heavy bricks, lady fingers, Panama
creams and coffee.
