NOME, ALASKA, OCTOBER IS, 1916

Conceit Is as characteristic of na tions. as 1t Is of individuals. Almost every iuan Is more or less concelted anu loves 10 look around him ana see other men to whom he IS .or thinks Ae 4s sulv4oI. Anu tnere Is d nallonal cOnceit also, which IS as full of the same quality Of egotism, of self ex- altauon. as the most conceited indi- viaual
 We see this national conceit we'll illustrated in the attitude of the northern races Of Europe toward the southern European races and in the attitude of the northern American people toward the people of Mexico and south America.
 Like indivioud.s there are few na- lions that are free from 1t.
 The citizen of the United .StE,cs talks lIghtl yof "Dagoes" and "Greas- CTS" and is thoroughly convinced that in some way. he is vastly their su. perior.
 The very terms used to designat, the citizens of other races are terms conveying an opprobious meaning. "Dago" and "Chink" and "Greaser" and "Squarehead" are terms denotins inferiority and intended in common use To convey no other idea than of inferiority.
 One would expect that in a nation like the United States where there is 0 great congregation of the rep- resntatiyes of many races. and a con- sequent tendency toward closer under standing, that the inclination 10 look upon aliens as of inferior clay would not be so pronounced as In nations where there Is less contact with for. eigners. But, such Is not the case.
 There are few nations which hold in greater contempt the citizens Of other nations. who view them as in. teriors, than do the people of the Uni- ted States. The average American citizen Is no less convinced Of his own superiority over the "Greasers," for instance, or the 'Dago' than the cul. ture boasting citizens of Germany are certain that they are immeasuratiy superior to the Russians.
 Not only are they prone to think that they are superior in a mental and physical sense but are also very much inclined to consider themselves morally suDerior-and this regardless Of statistics CT other evidences which disclose the national moral tendencies. The American considers that the American city is morally superior to the South American city or the an. cient capitals Of Europe. when the truth of the matter Is that New York and Chicago lack no vice. no moral evil that is found in the supposed su. perlatiyely wicked gay Paree" or Vienna or London.
 The most pretentious cities inhabit. cd by northern Europeans or north. ern Americans can give wholesale lessons in iniquity to the whole of the counties their people despise.
 New York and LSndon contain as much evil as the whole of South Am erica. Berlin and Vienna commi, more sin in a given period of time than the whole of Spain and Chicago and San Francisco and other large North American cities have more robberies and murders in a year thar

Examining the Farce.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Editors who
are disposed to be critical are exam
ming the Iowa presidential primary
law, assured always Of readable
article to be produced from the con-
siderat ton of the thing at a new angle.
That the Iowa delegation to the
Chicago convention is as truly in
structed for Burkett of Nebraska for
iee-president as for Cunmins for
president is truth Just dawning in
certain sanctums. In other words such
republican voters as took the trouble
to attend the primaries gave instruc-
tions to the delegates to make holy
show of them selves before the entire
country: The voters did not intend
any such thing. They were imposed
upon by the law itself. If it had
been provided that the delegates
should wear clown suits the arrange
ments would have been complete.
Attacking the law is in itself light
occupation. 1t can be repealed as
soon as the general assembly con-
venes, and on the first day of the ses-
sion.
There was a hue and cry for pri-
maries. Newspapers themselves AIDED
the agitation by magnifying the
ABUSES OIL Ille Olu caucus anu Soi' oh
ton systems. Defeated factions urged
abuses that did not exist. The mem
bers of the general assembly were
practically driven to attempt the en-
actment of remedial legislation. There
was no successful law that could be
copied No successful law has been
formulated in any state. The legisla-
tors were responsible only to the ex-
tent that they Welded to unwarranted
clamor. Concerted action by agita-
tors forced the issue and Iowa is sim
ply paying the penalty.

Hamilton, ILL.,, May 81

Memorial day was one of the finest
days we have had for long time. In
the early morning the gras/ was as
wet as though heavy rain had fall
len, but in an hour or two the dew
was all gone, and under cloudless
sky people f1ocked to the cemeteries
with their floral offerings. silent but
eloquent reminders Of the undytne
love for the departed. Much rain
and the cold prevented many roses
from being seen, but the graves were
covred with peonies, vio1ets, pinks
and others not so frail as the queen
of beauties. At 1880 p. m. the people
in goodiy number were gathered a.
the Christian church as quietly as
though it we're the Sabbath day. Mem.
bers of the Grand Army were in at
tendance to about twenty in number,
most OF them looking as we'll as we
have seen them for years. Among
them were Mr.. Herbert, Mr.. Peyton,
Zimri White, Edward Agnew, Perry
Clark, VIM. Moore, Mr.. Pageott, VIM.
Powers, D. Coffman, Oliver Craig. p.

In the superior court this morning
all were arraigned but Harry Snyder,
who disappeared. The other boys
young Snyder was the ring1eader and
young Snyderwas the ringleader and

out to get the play produced. II

Mr.. Bennett CHANGED to over

He became inspired with the

put 1t on the stage.
It was long, heartbreaking

then refused when the nature
Of the startling play was
learned. He tried to put it on
at q hotel and was turned down.
Actors and actresses deserted
him. But patience and work tri-
umphed. At last he got q

The world knows what hap
pened then. The country was
swept with a sensation. Men
and women fought to get into
the playhouse to see this dar-

The veil Of secrecy about the
great disease scourge Of the
race was torn away and the
truth was told openly, publicly,
frankly for the first time.
Bennett not only won his
fight for his worthy purpose.
