sition and help the city by sending

ARTIST FESTIVAL COMES
TO CLOSE TODAY

The Artists Festival" which has
been in progress several days, comes
to close today. 1t has not been
well patronized, owing to the fact
that many persons considered that
one Chautauqua was all the COM
munity could support, and they re-
served their patronage for the insti-
tuition that has been satisfactorily
operated here for the past six years.
Its failure to pay is due solely to
the infallible law of supply and de-
mand, which will not allow two SIM
liar institutions to flourish where
is room but for one
The movement brought some ex-
cellent talent here, and it is cause
for regret that the distinguished Wis
itors were not greeted by larger au-
diences. Notable among the attrac-
tions was Senator Thos. P. Gore,
the blind senator from Oklahoma,
and Mr.. Strickland w. Gillian, the
noted author and lecturer. The lat
ter's efforts were particularly en-
joyed yesterday. when the usual
large Sunday afternoon crowd at
tended at the Auditorium.

The Nome daily nugget., 1916-03-10
FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1916.

While the president in so in- dustlously busy trying to jam the international law down the throat of Germany, in an endeav- or to make that recalcitrant na ton observe the righteous prin- ciples therein represented, we wonder why he does not display more zeal with respect to others who are no less guilty of fractur- ing those, to him, holy pro. nouncements for which he insists tbat ,5A 5Amg3ieaEiG1aps ,aball Res nffiGiml!t- ffiGi event that they have no better sense than to place themselves in positions of danger While he is assuming the duty of acting as policeman for the world where Germany in the culprit, why does he not also swing the menacing club over the head of others who have and are doing the country more actual damage every month than Germany has done in the entire war period2
 While he is forever barking and jawing at Germany why does he not say more than an occa- "onal deprecatory word to Eng land. who is manifestly guilty of
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-03-10

Stricting the rights or neutraiS To travel the high seas without mo- lcstation? Who is it that has crippled and destroyed the com merce of, not only America, but every other neutral nation in de- tiance of all the principles o{ in- ternational rule and custom lince the very beginning of the warF Who is it that, in pursuance{of a personal plan to starve and de stroy an enemy, has made the world conform to an arbitrary rule, countenanced by none of those immaculate precepts by which our president presumes to act as judge and jury over Ger many, and which, moreover, has at its back, not so much the sub jugation of an enemy as the de- struction of all commercial growth which threatens the trade dominance enjoyed by its promul- gator2
 Who is it that is today telling us that we may ship some com modities to neutral nations and must withhold others t have been arbitrarily pronounced con traband of war merely because 1t suited some one else's purposes to do SO? Who was it that or, dered American ships loaded with American goods destined for neutral countries to deviate from their course and remain for weeks and months in ports other than the port of desti'lation while an arbitrary search for contraband, which has no legitimate excuse or precedent in international law, or any other law, save the law of might, is being conducted un- der circumstance which cause enormous losses to the owners? ? Who is it that is at this very moment saying what we shall ship and how and under what con, ditions it shall be done, even though the shipments are to non- belligerent and legitimate mar kets. Who is 1t that only yester- day told us under what conditions our ships Of commerce might sail the seas? The answer is, my masters, England. Today not a ship or bark leaves the shores of these United States for a foreign port but it is done with the let and su1ierance of England. It matters not if the vessel is destin- ed to the port of a neutral nation or not, if England does not fancy the cargo or its destination it will never reach that destination until England is ready. She has seized OuI onIPo anu .aI SOcS UndcI every conceivable pretext and has so constantly added to the contra band laws that there is little left to prohibit. She has curtailed our traffic, destroyed our commerce to all but such nations as she fancied and has even been so bold as to forcibly board our ships and seize the persons of such of our sailors whom she suspected of be. longing to the nations of her enemies. True, she has not mur- dered any of our people but that need not enter into the discus. sion. In the case of Germany we are holding her to a strict ac- counting for her violations of the
