City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 2o. 1s16.

In reviewing the general progress of Alaska towns, since the period of real deveiopment commenced. one cannot but be impressed with the spirit of the citizens Of Fairbanks and the various towns along the southeastern coast from Juneau westward to Seward. Also one must admire the strong sense of civic pride displayed by the majority in furthering their own interests.
 They are at all times on the lookout for an opportunity to do something tor the good and welfare of their com- munity and are ever ready to further with vim and energy any movement which promises to yield return in the shape of improved facilities or con- ailions.
 Nothing of the laggard spirit about those people. When an opportunity to oo something for themselves presents itself they rise to the occasion with most admirable promptitude and work with will for their mutual better
  ment. And. when things are a little dull in the line of opportunities, they devote their time to going after the government with the result that they usually secure the major portion of all the good things in the shape of ap- pl oplations and other benefits when congress passes the pie this way.
 Most of those towns have not much of anything behind them aside from their prospects, and most of these are long way behind, indeed, However. the citizens of those burgs are not In the least discouraged by the arid pros- pects They have large and whole some faith in their town and the re- sources which lie behind, whatever they may be. and the fact tha, de- veiopment is slow and many of their efforts to force things along prove abortive, they are still undeterred and keep hammering away with splendid yigor They are not the kind to be
 
 may Judge by the evidences of both | the past and present. For many of | them the wait for prosperity has been long and dreary and the end is not yet. But, one don't find them sitting on their launches bewailing tho fact that times are hard and the outlook for
 
 immediate relief Is not very bright, Not Tor moment. Although many of 1 them are scarcely more than existing whiie waiting the coming of old Dame Prosperity with her motley train of blessings one never hears of them re- marking that their camp Is on the down grade" or lis getting slower every year" or employing any other term of equal tenor. Not they.
 Tor one thing they are too busy boosting their town and laboring for it's advancement to think about such things. Some of those towns are, to | use the homely phrase, Hanging on by | the skin of their teeth" but we haven't l heard of one of their citizens who l would own up to the fact. No indeed. | They have the finest little city In all Alaska and things are just lovely. A little slow, maybe. but times are stead fly improving-if you listen to them. Their newspapers voice this opinion in every issue, and the citizens echo it and they illustrate by their energy in working for anything that will help their district that they believe 1t and refuse to be discouraged by an ad- verse present or string halted future.

That several people have probably met death this fall on the upper Tan ana. is the opinion of William James, who. with other Chisana people. arriv- ed in Fairbanks recently.

 cached here. as far as he is able to
 earn. The finding of at least four wrecked boats which he was unable to Identify. however. further confirms his fear.
 Among those who left the Chisana ountry at the same time as MT. James were Charles Johnson and Isaac Mitch

ing this for the benefit of people who
are drugging themselves to death:
Few people realize how harmful
drugs really are or the drug people
would soon be out of business.
First, drugs cannot cure. Any phy-
stefan you may consult will tell you
this. There are number of people
who believe that drugs help nature
cure disease, but this is not true. Ma
ture is hindered when drugs are per-
mitted to poison the system. This
is proven by DR.. A F. Reinhold, who
says: 1.-The drug people, overlook
ing the purpose of the tongue, actu-
ally cheat nature by introducing their
nasty stuff enclosed in capsules, so
that the taste may not object. Never
theless, the poisonous matter thus
forced upon the stomach and sys-
tenn works destruction, to which sick
humanity testifies."
Drugs kill pain by dulling the
senses. Drugs can so dull ones
senses that pain cannot be felt, but
this in reality is worse than the sick
ness itself.
A medical professor once address,
ed his graduating class as follows:
Gentlemen, you are going out in the
world. Stand by each other, gentle
men. There is no court this side of
heaven that can compel me to tes-
tify against a brother physician.
There are today six distinctive
schools of the healing art before the
world, each claiming to have the
truth in theory and practice while
all the others are false"
Medicine said M. Magendie, the
celebrated French psychologist, ''is

latans."

terances in connection with the
clothing workers strike you are for
some reason or other giving promi-
nence to the fact that this is a fight
between the rich Jews and the poor
Jews. Is it not also true that thou
sands of Bohemian, Polish, Italian
and other workers are to be found
in the ranks of the strikers and
strikebreakers, and a number of
Christians" are among the employ
ers? Why create an impression that
the strike is a Jewish family quarrel,
when, as a matter of fact, it is part
of the struggle of the working class
that is going on all through the "civ-
ilized" world.
The American Christian" employ

European countries, have, on the
whole, not displayed any better at
titude toward labor than their Jew

in the city of Chicago.
The industrial and political system
that allows Russian Jews to accu-
mulate wealth to become exploiters
of labor and masters of their core
igionists is certainly radically wrong
and should be abolished.
But would there be less reason for
the abolition Of the system if only
native Americans, even those whose
predecessors had by chance partici-
pated in the revolutionary war,
would have the privilege to exploit
human beings and accumulate
wealth by paying starvation wages?

him, let him consider the trend
of the times and we feel salts
fed that he will agree that there
is a deplorable lack of serious
ness in the popular mind, in
fact, a growing lack of serious
ness.
Of course, we realize that to
call attention to this thing is
not particularly popular. There
are too many who believe that
amusement is the sole aim worth
while.
But, unless there is a back
ward hardening to the manners,
modes and thought Of more seri-
Gus living, the nation will find
itself facing situations that have
in the past proven the undoing
of kingdoms and empires.
When the people go amuse-

The cheap amusement Of the
day is fatal to high ideals, is
fatal to that higher vision which
should be striven for by man, in
dividually and collectively.
The young man or the young
woman who spends all his or her
spare time in places Of amuse-
ment and at having what is gen
orally termed a good time" is
frittering away opportunities for
self-improvement that later in
life will come to haunt him OR
her in a manner most unpleas-
ant.
In this day of public libraries
there is no excuse for any per-
son not being we'll read-espe-
cially young persons all of whom
have more or less time on their
/, hands.
It is really a matter of great
concern to see how little the
rank and file cares for the good
in literature or the serious pro-
auctions of the thinkers of the
times.
The patrons of the public Ii
braries wear out the cheap,
trashy, amusing novels while
works of merit remain untouch-
ed upon the shelves.
This is only another illustra-
ton of the amusement craze.
The book like the theater must
amuse. The minute it begins
% instruct that minute it is
thrown away.
These may be hard sayings
but let the reader look about

THE CRAZE FOR AMUSE-
MENT

This age is an age of amuse-
ment.
The people seem to have gone
amusement crazy.
Nothing appeals unless it
amuseS.
The days of serious thought,
and purpose consecrated to an
ideal, seem to be among the
things belonging to another
epoch.
Never before in the history
Of the world have there been so
many places devoted to public
amusement.
The theater today holds the
attention of the people more
than any other institution.
And it is not theater that
teaches, but one that amuses.
There was time when the
theater was force; time when
It had an influence in literature,
politics and life.
Now the theater only amuses,
And it seems that the people
want it only to amuse.
Of course, amusement is es-
sential. 1t is a necessary part
of the life of people, of an in.
rlividual.
Recreation The Thing
But that all recreation must
of necessity be amusement is 6
wrong idea-is an idea fatal tt
the best interests of the state
and nation.
