Official Paper
NOME, ALAskA. MARCH 17, ist4

There is something the matter with the democratic party In that great old state of New York. Just what the trouble is does not seem to be clear except that within the party Msclf there gre factions.
 Factions are a mighty bad thing for any party anywhere and at any time. and factions arc particularly bad for the democratic party in New York which is a very important state.
 The leaders and the editors of dem- ocratic papers and other men who have weight tn the New York democ- rscy have not been pulling together for the last year as they should have been doing and this lack of get to- sethee has caused the administration no end of worry.
 The Eulxer case was had thing for the party and the split that has been caused over 1t will be hard to heal. Also the enemies of democracy will neke all the political capital they can out of this inter-party rumpus. For that. after all. is just what it is. A family quarrel within the democratic party and t has done the party more harm than ell of the good that the democrats have derived from the na- tional administration of President Wilson will be able to overcome in T cLnsiderabie time.
 Mr. wilson. himself and the nation al democratic leaders arc quite wise enough to realise what handicap in. tcrnai dissention is to the party and they are exerting every means in their power to bring the waring factions in New York together.
 New York is. politically. a very im- portant state. probably the most im- pcrtant state in the country. and no party will let 90 of its power in that state without . struggle. But 1t has become very clear to the democratic leaders that internal strife within the party. personal bickerings and striv- ings for place at any cost will tear the party to shreds and leave 1t open to continued successful attack:
 what is true In New York In regard t. the democratic party just now. that internal disssntion is on the highway k ruin the party. has been equally true of other parties in other states and at other times. No party orsan- iaation can hold together and accom- riish anything for itself or for its party unless t presents . solid front N tho enemies without the party.
 The political lines in this country m - c,oss that when one of tho

You've drawn rather heavily
against it."
But it was strong enough to stand
a terrible strain
Not quite strong enough to stand
without protest the strain to which
you have subjected it, Mr.. Jones. It's
not exhausted, but IFS"
Getting tired?" Broadway himself
supplied the words.
About that You have not been
having it written up, you know; l
thought perhaps you didn't realize the
figures I've had them all made out
for you
Broadway took one swift look at
them, then sank back in his chair and
took a longer look at them. We'll. I'll
be --!" he ventured.
Il was afraid you'd feel that way.
1 only thought you ought to have a
hint of just how things are running.
Young men lose track of things some
times. I've known it to occur before"
Jackson scarcely saw Broadway
when he went out of the gray build
ing, and it was the first time he had
ever trodden Broadway without see
ing and admiring it.
Hello, Broadway" cried a merry
voice from just beyond the curb. 1t
was blonde voice, and issued from a
natty little motor car with a sedan
chair top. Broadway had bought that
motor car and given it to the blonde
voice. Let me put you down some
where?"
I'm not feeling very fit. You might
take me to the morgue."
Jump in; We'll make it the Knick-
erbocker-"
But the Knickerbocker had no
charms for Broadway at that mo
ment He made his stay as brief as
possible in the bright restaurant.
''Dollie, darling" he said gloomily
L don't need a restaurant, today;
need a hospital. How would you like
me, Dollie, honestly, if I was broke? %
You? Broker" She laughed.
No; seriously. How would you like
me-"
It's nonsense; but you know what
Stanley does to broken dishes"
The ash can. Eh?"
ct wouldn't be. for you, of course !:
| but-what's the use of being Mr..
Grump? Brace up? Come on up to
ChurchilHs and Well drinky-drink it
outy-out'
But Broadway would have none OF
such a plan as that He went to his
apartment. and, rummaging in every
| drawer and pocket, collected every
| bill which he could find. There were
a hundred of them, ranging IN al
sorts of figures and for all sorts OF
articles, from diamonds to gasoline

STEAM HEAT CAUSES COLDS
Druggist Has Noted Effects at the Be-
ginning OF WInter-Busy Season
for Medicines.

Here, DOCTOR" said a man as he hur-
ried into a drug store, give me some
thing for cold quick. Give me the
best remedy you have in stock and l
promise you that in future steam radi-
ators and I win keep far apart The
radiator was the cause Of my present
trouble
The druggist gave him the remedy
and the man hurried OF.
That's strange, remarked the drug
gist to another customer who was wait
ing for a prescription Would you be-
lieve it if told you he was the fourth
person who came in here today buy
ing medicine for a hold in the head?
The peculiar part Of the matter is that
all of them complained that steam
heat vas the cause of their colds.
"On reflection. however, that
shouldn't strike ne as strange, for we
have the same thing happen every
year. Our busy season for cold medi-
cines begins at the time when the
steam heat Is turned on.

from charity to faro. The arrival of
the sympathetic Rankin, who believed
his master had a headache, with a
note from Mrs. Gerard. interrupted the
bookkeeping which. for The first time
in his life, Broadway had begun It
had not been encouraging, as far as
he had gone.
He read the note and found it to be
an invitation. Deciding to accept it.
he decided. also, that it must be the
last one of the sort he must accept.
It had become intensely plain to him
that now had come the time when he
must cease his gaieties and find more
money.
He was a gloomy figure at, the feast
that night, and his gloom grew with
every aged smile which Mrs. Gerard
cast in his direction. 1t was plain
enough to him, to everyone. that this
exceedingly rich lady, of uncertain age.
regarded him with very friendly eyes.
She even sometimes called him Jack
SON. After the dinner he took Robert
Wallace downtown with him IN bis

bills, none pressing him-mere state
ments- The rumor had mot started
that he was not good pay. Broadway
still delighted in him. still endeaEored
to induce him to accept its credit This
gave him new distress; he knew him
self-he knew he would go out that
night and run more debts.
Suddenly he knew what to do. 1t
came to him without an effort Of the
BRAIN 1t was a tragic inspiration
Without a word to Rankin, stealthily
and secretly, he went forth into the
afternoon in his smart runabout, still
driven by the taxi-cabman, who now
regarded him with something akin to
worship, and sought a gunshop and
chemists.
In the former he made purchase Of
large, grim, blued-steel automatic pis-
toll of the largest caliber they had in
stock, and secured one box of cart
ridges. 1t seemed a waste of money,
which by rights was definitely the
property of creditors, TO buy so many
cartridges, for he should need but onel
However, he feared that to ask for one
would pin attention to him and frus-
/ tTate what he had in mind, so he put
| the heavy box into his pocket. It
made it sag Outrageously, which very
much annoyed him. No man on
| Broadway was more careful Of his
clothes. But what. after all. did a
sagged pocket matter now2
At the chemists he secured an ounce
/ of bichloride of mercury, which had
| been fashionable of late among smart
! oh,
! tanning it This eased him and fur
! Their satisfaction grew out of the fact
/ that though it held potentialities as
deadly as the automatic gun and cart
ridges could hold it made a little pack
age, not heavy in the least, and so
did not sag the other pocket, where he
placed it very carefully.
As he whirled uptown in the run
! about he frequently felt OF the deadly
things.
He liked the feel of neither of them.
The revolver was so hard and bust
ness-like, the pill bottle was so slip
perry, so cold and heartIess! What an
end was this for Broadway Jones!
Again seated in the little study he
solemnly reviewed his life. He saw no
points at which he had made very
great mistakes, save the important one
of thinking that a quarter of a million
is a lot of money in New York.
I've been nothing but a piker." he
reflected, and I've acted like the
trade-marked article. l ought to get
it in the neck and am going to get ii
in the neck"
This unpIeasantIy reminded him and
he caressed the neck wherein he was
to get it. Never, in the past, when
he had used that slang expression had
it really suggested his own neck to
him or any other actual neck. Now
it made his flesh creep and his blood
run cold behind his collar
We'll. here goes" he whispered
and took out a pill, afterwards arrang
ing the revolver. which was already
loaded
He held the pill between the fingers
of tremulous left hand; gripped il
