The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-06-07

done your mOldy DranS more goOO than you think in making you sub- | ject them to some unusual exercise. | It gave the people at great cost the passenger list of the boats and it is delight to see a number of non subscribers abstracting copies ot this paper and with their heads to- gothcr scanning the news item for their own material improvement.
 The Industrial Worker is moved to make these few sencible remarks, as are mostly all the remarks which are made in this paper, for the pur- pose of taking thepe prper thieves and paper buns to task.
 If this pap T is worth anything, is is worth a subscription. It is going to live whether you subscribe or not, but the more subscribers that are received the better the paper. This paper puts into real goods all or nearly all it's receipts, with a working balance only against emergencies. In proportion to the receipts the news service increases and gives value. The editorials, we are aware, are dislikcd by good many. They don't like them and they hate to be thought for one moment to endorse what is therein stated by even reading them.
 But they reed them just the same. They read learn and inward ly digest even when their bile feels like busting. We cant help that. The function of an article is to edu- cate or to make people think. IT anything stated herein is wrong, i' is for the other fellow to correct it. Nothing is stated here ex cathed- ra with a penalty of excommunica- tion if you don't believe it, standing right at the back of it. On the con- trary it is the food for thought that it is intended to be provided, and if Q completer, fuller, abler ana more careful survey of the facts results in entirely different and bet ter founded conclusion so much the better. That is what is worth achieving.
 There is no whine in this article. The language used in this office when repeated cases of paper pu7- loinings and paper cummings are brought to it's attention are such as partake of a whine in no way. The office has united in pronouncln5 condemnation upon those in terms that would make a middle age blasphemy or an orphcn's curse LOOK like a penitential psalm alongside of it. As the poet says:
 "An orphans curse would drag to hell
 A spirit from on High
 But more horrible than that
 Is the curse in newspaper eye"
 Apologies are due to the departed spirit of Sam Taylor Coleridge, for this abuse of his lines, but it is the most expressive we can just now re- call. Get off your foot! Pay your subscription, and for the love ot Mike don't always be sneaking and bumming paper. This paper was started by number of miners, hard working poorly paid men. Their good iron dollars went into the enterprise. The maintained it through fair weather and through foul They followed and supported it's fortunes through all kinds of trials and tribulations. They taught it to struggle and to fight and to win out. And now when 1t has won out and is as good paper as any bar none in Alaska in all ways, the least that you people who have been taking your news from these hard working miners on charity is to mend your ways. That's straight as we know how.
 We repeat this is not a whine, nor an apology, nor boost, nor self infiating eulogy. It costs money to deliver the newspaper goods and
