WICKERSHAM'S ELECTION
Nome Nugget ]

lNOme Nugget
 W;ckcrsham has been reelected as dele gate to congress by handsome majority.
 The question naturally arises, why Wick ersham's popularity?
 He has no paid press; in fact he is more advertised in the States by the newspapers and magazines than he is in Alaska. He was opposed by man who is reported to be, end undoubtedly is, good, clean man. supported by the administration all the strength of the Democratic party and DOT ton of the Republican party, who have not forgiven Wickersham for defeating their nominee when he himself posed as a Re publican Then why his popularity? It must be that there is in the minds of the people some substantial reason why Wick ersham should be returned as delegate. It will hardly do to say that he can simply fool the pconle all the time or that the majority of the people are fools and thus account for his uniform and continued sue cess.
 This muck can be said for Wickersham and that is that during his incumbency in office Alaska has come to the front, and to him largely has this been done, by his per sistence in presenting its needs and educat ing congress concerning the resources and possibilities of this great territory. He has oeen a fighter, and however much his mo- tives may be assailed, he has placed Alaska, f not on the map in foremost place in congress, and for this he is entitled to credit for high order of ability which but few men possess.
 The rapidity with which Alaska has been coming to the front during the past two years the unanimity of the members of congress in striving to legislate for the de velopment of the territory, all that has been done the past year, and all that congress contemrlates doing for the territory, is evi- dence that Alaska has forceful and in fuental delegate and herein is undoubt- edly the strenqth of our delegate among the voters of AIaska.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL.

The telephone girl sits still in her chair And listens to voices from everywhere Hears all the gossip, hears all the news; She knows who is happy and who has the
 blues. She knows all our sorrows, she knows all
 our joys, She knows every girl who is chasing the
 boys. She knows of our troubles, she knows of
 our strife. She knows every man who is mean to his
 wife. She knows every time we are out with the
 boys, She hears the excuses each one employs She knows every woman who has dark She knows every man who's inclined to be
 fast In fact. there's a secret meath each saucy or that quite demure-looktng telephone If the telephone girl would tell all she She would turn half our friends into bit
 tereSt foes; She would SOW small wind that would
 soon be gale. Engulf us in trouble and land us in jail; She would let go a story which, gaining in Would cause half our wives to sue for di-
 VOrce. She could get all the churches mixed up in
 fight, And turn every day into sorrowful night. In fact, she could keep the whole town in
 stew If she'd tell a tenth part of the things that
 she knew. Now. doesn't it make your very head whirl When you think what you owe to the teIe-
 phone girl? Exchange

 T am first of all a German and lover If the Fatherland, but I am not in sym- pathy with this war or the attitude Of the kaiser I am thoroughly tired of mihtarisn!, it's taxations in manhood and money, and the final ruination of business by war In Germany we thought the last straw had been applied when the government b21an to tax capital; but when this war was de clared. and with it the rllination of nearly all business and manufacturing 1T the FatherIand 1 concluded it was time for ne to look for fresh fields of comm cree, where taxations for war purposes arc les exacting.
 Most Germans are patriotic, and want to upheld the kaiser and his policies but many are now beginning to count the cost. It is fully realized by bankers and big manufacturers that German export 5usi ness Is ruined for half century. General sympathy is with the military party m their determination to fight to the last ditch but many of the bankers are begin ming to study what this last ditch policy means and what it means particularly to them and they are forced to the conclu- sion that it spells heavy loss at the best, and ruination i'll the event of defeat Ill ,he final outcome. As munitions of war are ob- tained mainly through the cooperation of banks and financial institutions t is be- coming @ serious question with the Cnes whether it is not time to call halt in the devastation of the country, lo1 only in human life. and in manhood but in com merce and money If the financial in itu- tions shut down on the supply of money the war will soon come to an end.

COLONIAL THEATRE.
Charlie Chaplin in "A Night at the ShoW," Two ReeIs-A Big Scream.


 Charles Chaplin of the worn-out shoes and old clothes, appears today at the Colonial theatre in an entirely new role in the sensational tWo-reel Essanay- Chaplin comedy entitled A Night at the Show. In this play Char lie doffs his old costume and appears in a respectable dress suit and silk hat. But even in this disguise it is impossible not to recognize the Chap lin walk, the Chaplin caperS, and the inimitable Chaplin mannerisms. He is Charlie Chaplin, whether in the garb of a hobo or a man or society This comedy proves conclusively that it is not Charities makeup, funny as it has been considered, that endears Charlie to the photoplay public. His success lies deeper than that; it is personality. an individuality that is always found, no matter in what attire he appears.
 And Chaplin loses none of his fun niness; In fact critics who have watch ed him at work on his newest piece of work. "A Night at the Show" declare that he is funnier than ever, although a new Chaplin in a new role His versatility is surprising and leads one to wonder what next?" in his line af funny antics. He is one wild scream from start to finish of this wild fire comedy. Can you imagine him at tke theatre in an immaculate evening suit when his enthusiasm and admirati. T for a classic dancer leads him over the footlight to the side of this aIlurine feminine? The show stops, as fal the regulation show is concerned but a new one starts with Charlie ir the spotlight. Don't misx it. The Woman's Stare, a two reel Vitagraph and The Eternal Feminine, two rec Selig, complete the bill

ANNOUNCEMENT
THEDA BARA TO BE SEEN IN
 CARMEN IN NORWICH
William Fox Colossal Screen Produc- ton at the Davis Theatre Today and Tomorrow-AIso Three Big Keith Acts of Vaudeville.

The announcement will be of great interest to local theatre goers that they are to have the opportunity of wit messing the William Fox colossal screen production of Carmen with Theada Bara, the satanic sorceress of the screen in the role of the gypsy f1irt at the Davis theatre today and to- morrow. The William Fox prOduc- tion stands single supreme, inim- itable, and alone among achievements Prosper ,NIerimee's novel has little in common with familiar conventional Operatio and dramatic versions. It borrows nothing from custom or tra- dition in conception or execution. The services of Q total of more than 5000 persons were enlisted in its produc- tion. Entire Spanish cities with their castles, palaces, cathedrals, plazas, lakes, mountains and gOrges are shown as are festas, the bull ring, tribes of real Andalusian gypsies, coast guards. smugglers, peasants, flower girls, oragne sellers grandees, cara vans, armies of soldiers and their barracks, prisons, cigarette factories, and the CordCva baths. In fact, the entire production has been produced on a scale just as elaborate as The Birth of a Nation.
 In addition to this gigantic feature there are three vaudeville acts on the bill and the headline attraction is Mason, Wilbur, and Jordan, three men, in a novel comedy pantomine acrobatic offering called A Soldiers Dream. Another good act is Helne, Washburn and Geer. two men and a woman, who present a clever singing and comedy act introducing some old time minstreIsy. The third act is Madelyn Shone and Co.,, a comedy singing and talking act that is differ ent from anything ever seen or heard here. With the vaudeville and fea- ture photoplays this makes a show that cannot be seen anywhere in the country for the money.
 Pathe Scenic CoiOred pictures and comedies complete the programme,
 Matinee at 2.15. Evening at 6.45 and S.45. Tomorrow, New Years day, there vii be four complete shows, at 1.30 3.15, G.45, and S.45.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Marguerite Clark in Unique Film Characterization as Helene of the North" Today and Saturday.

Marguerite Clark's latest screen ve- hicle, Helene of the North, presents this dainty star in the most unique charac terization she has yet assumed since her triumphant debut in motion pictures, under the management of the Famous Players Film Co. This latest five-part feature on the Paramount programme combines in a decidedly novel manner the cultured atmosphere of aristocratiC society circles with the rugged environment of the trackless wastes of Northwestern Canada.
 Between these far extremes the drama sways with uninterrupted fascination, and whether in the limit less wilds CT the warm, luxurious room, Marguerite Clark is equally eff fective nd enchanting.
 Aside from the extraordinary atmos- phcriC qualities of this dramatic TO- nance, the entire construction of the story is very original befinning a sit doe. in the fashionable home of an English society lady, and developing from that sheltered spot into the open spaces of the Canadian woods, where a viriIe melodramatic plot ensues, cuImi- mating romatically in the Cozy corner where the drama began.
 Included in this divergent contrast of scenery is every emotion and element of drama possible to a modern TO- nance. Fine pictorial effects have been ODIGineO In the scenes cenIerlnS about the activities of the Northwest ern Mounted Police in their attempts to capture the man whom Helene fears as much as she loves the other man whom the former threatens. A splen- did cast, including Conway TearIe, who recently distinguished himself in SUD- port of William F'aversham in The Hawk; Elliott Dexter, Frank Lossee David Wall. who will be pleasantly re- membered for effective work in pre- vious Famous Players productions Ida Darling and Brigham Boyce should make the production a memorial one
 Three excellent vaudeville acts and Universal comedy reels will also be shown on today's programme
