NOME, ALASKA, JULY 21, 1916.

President Wilson's determination to press the child labor bill to an early issue in spite of the objections of the powerful Southern delegation may not be good politics exactly but it at least indicates that he has set the best in terest of the nation, its moral and physical welfare, above personal con siderations. His decision to insist npon the immediate abolition of child labor in accordance with the terms of the measure now before congress may lose him many votes in the com where child labor has attained it's greatest development. Southerners are extremely jealous of their privi leges and, If baked in their evident desire, as expressed by the attitude of their representatives, 10 perpetuate child slavery, even as they sought to perpetuate black slavery, the presi- dent may loose a goodly portion of the f'odhi@ii II NoAt' As "Obib boe pS t'A t'ia surprising if number of the South ern states, notorious for child slay- cry, should go strongly against him, even though he be the accredited standard bearer of democracy. The South IS, generally speaking, demo- cratic, but democratic largely because democracy best serves it's own inter ests. When democracy no longer gives it that which it desires, it will not hesitate to change, any more than will any other section.
 The president may lose in the South as il result of his action but it will assuredly win him the commendation Of every person who possesses a spark of humane feeling that has not been contaminated by the lust for money, regardless of whether they are demo- crats or republicans. Also, we feel sure that il will, in the end bring him more votes than he will lose through possible southern defections.
  Child labor, as il has been permitted 10 flourish in America, is one of the most damnable institutions that has lever been permitted to endure in a civilized and enlightened nation and should be wiped out forever. No blacker blot has existed on the fair T.,t, of | caused by the unrestricted exploita- ton of the childhood of the land by 9nose who have neither heart nor conscience. No country in the world has permitted the commercialization of it's yonin and maidenhood as has this nation which, more than any Sther, boasts of it's humanity and charity. Child labor admittedly ex- ists in some degree in nearly all countries but, nowhere under the sun has the blood and bone and sinew of innocent childhood been so com politely given over to greed and rapa- city as in the United States. Mo- where has the God of the machine" been permitted to so glut himself with sacrificed inocence; nowhere has hu- manity allowed the lustful to slay the youth of growing generations on the altar of greed on the scale that has been commonly practiced in this Gn pf
 For more years than we can re- member the lives of thousands of chil- dren have been blasted and destroyed by the all absorbing lust for dollars

Notice to Taxpayers.

Last fall called the. attention of the
public to the fact that the Treasurers
were compelled, by the strict enforce
ment of the state tax law, to close the
books at the end of each month and
charge penalty on all taxes not paid by
March 31st, also that the privilege of
paying in two installments were
forfeited after April 1st. For the
benefit of the taxpayer, l again say
that taxes are due January lst and
delinquent March 1st, second half Sept.
Ist. Get the habit of paying in March
and September, if you don't expect to
pay full tax and IL per cent. interest
which the law requires the Treasurer
to charge. All receipts that are made
out in advance and remain in the
Treasurer hands, April 1st, will bear
per cent. per month penalty until
paid. also wish to say that l cannot
make out receipts and file them away
hereafter, but will file all back orders
the same as before. Please call for
your receipts before April lst. l
haven't the time now to take them to
you as before.
Very respectfully yours,
A. L. WHITE, Treas.

School Principal On Trial.

On complaint of Chan Robinson, o. C.
Luce, principal of the Cresco schools,
was placed under arrest for assault and
battery on the person of Virgil Williams,
pupil of the High School, punished by
Luce for an infraction of school rules
prohibiting whispering. The trial was
held yesterday to jury before Justice
of the Peace Barker, and as the jury
disagreed, the case was continued until
next Tuesday. The question at issue
is whether or not the the punishment
was excessive, and as the boy was
badly bruised by the instrument of
punishment-a piece of rubber hose-it
would appear that Mr.. Robinson has
considerable ground for his complaint

Balkema-Brockway road law, and asks
for its repeal, opposes hard surfaced
roads, says that no bonds for road work
shall be issued unless authorized by d.
rect vote of the taxpayers, and asks
the removal by the board of supervis-
ors of the present county engineer and
his assistants.
The resolutions, csowded out of this
issue, will be printed next week in full.
