TEX RICHARD BUYS
 POLAR BEARSK|N fOR
 COLONEL ROOSEVELT

A $1O000 polar bear skin that was put on exhibition at the Waldorf As toria on Monday started yesterday on its way to Oyster Bay. Tex Rickard saw the skin, said to be a perfect one of it's kind. and measuring eleven feet six inches from tip to tip. and became it's purchaser.
 Mr. Rickard, although he took the opposite side in the betting from the way Col. Roosevelt was talking in the political campaign, is an ardent ad- mirer of the colo1ers, and sent the skin to him with his compliments. It is said that when Mir Rickard was mayor of Nome, Alaska, during the gold rush, he tried to get a big white bearskin to present to the colonel, but never could find just the "specimen" he wished.-Hide & Leather.

 DARLING AND DEAN COMPANY
The Nome daily nugget., 1917-01-26
NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 26, 1917.

The United States is in the odd DO sitiUn uf making shells by the million toi the allies and trying to buy tbcm Uv ihe thousand from England. II "fttais that Secretary Daniels has Tot been able to do we'll in bargain ing with the gentlemen of the steel companies for some time. In fact 1e has been so piqued by the exorhi- tant prices charged the government f.l certain kinds of work that he has caused much of this work to be done in Government plants and the recent .IeN elopment in regard to the fate of tc shell contract with Hatfelds, lin! . It'd. of England would seem to i1di- cate that more government plants should be erected.
 Every plant in the United States 'dl able of doing the work ls bus!ly eng ged in turning out shells md o:' CT forms of war munitions for the aldos. But our own government need- td some shells, too. and the prices dtnanded were very high, so high in fact that Mr. Daniels decided be would not pay them if he could make arrangements elsewhere.
 He turned to England for relief Why he should expect to get his shells there is beyond comprehension. for t.at country is. or has besa until very recently buying enormous quan- titles of shells from America. And the prices England has paid for shells here and all war munitions have been shamefully extortionate. Dividends of some American firms making allied munitions have run into the hundreds Of per cent. The business has been unhlushingly pi"atical. Taking advan- tage of the need of the allies. certain coteries of men who were in a posi- tion to make munitions have dema ud ed prices that are out of all reason. Ard these same prices Were demanded of our own navy department. It Is easy to understand how Secretary Dariels baked at paying the price Ii is also easy to understand why the British government would not allow H0 tf1elds. limited, to make shells foi ou- navy. They cannot help resent ing the outrageous profits the Amer ican firms insist on maknig on their munition contracts. They do not al low such profits to their own manu- lecturers but they are compelled to be mulcted by Americans by the urgency of their needs. Therefore why should they allow Hatfields to work more cheaply for the United States than American firms will work? Indeed why should Hattields be allowed to work for the United States at all
The Nome daily nugget., 1917-01-26

when the need of Britain for shells is so great?
 At the bottom of the whole thing is the und arlying American idea that a government need is private oppor- tunity. The greater the urgency, the higher the price that may be charged. The greater the human need. the greater the human greed. Makers of war supplies look oa war as a fine titng. An opportunity is offered men in all stations in life who have love Of country within their breasts to go to the front and risk their limbs and lite. But to themselves war Is an opportunity to make money in enor- nous quantities. Therefore they are strongly for war whether it be among foreign nations or their own country is embroiled. In fact they even go so far as to incite war. Much of the trouble in Mexico is due to efforts of Americans who want the United Stat to fight that demoralized coun- trq not that any good may come out Of it but that they may make more mcney. And 1t is for such reasons as this that our government should make all its arms, all it's ammuni- . ten, build all it's war ships and have complete facilities for making every thing necessary for government use Ii should go farther. Laws should b. pas sed empowering the government to take over at once on the outbreak cility whatoseever for the use of the government ia prosecution of the war and at a nominal rate of profit to the owners. Shoe factories should be re- ouisitioned to make foot gear for the soldiers and the price paid for their use should be bas d on the earnings of the previous five years. And so with clothing establishments and all other necessary for the prosecution of WET.
 No man whatever should be allowed to make a profit from war All war should be defensive and of course If tl.is were so there would be no war But as long as men and their nations are constituted as they are, there will doubtless be agg. ession. So 1t is the duty of America to be prepared to ddend it's rights by land and sea. And it is equally our duty to see to it that no one whatever shall make profit from such a war in defence of ou. common interests.
 Secretary Daniels has had the germ of this idea in his plan for govern ment ship yards and q government amor plate plant. He has doubtless gone as far as he can, for the cry of private property" is a potent. though idiotic, rallying cry which will cause legislators to oppose anything that sevors of public ownership.
 But the war in Europe is pointing the way. They are going at the thing bt edward and under pressure of cir . cumstances but they are doing the very thing that has been indicated atove. The latest development has
