 ABUSE OF FREE
 RIDE PRIVILEGE

On some divisions of the railroad men are apparently abusing the free transportation privilege afforded to employees, by only working few days at a job, quitting and demanding a free ride.
 The district engineers of the central division have been instructed to re- fuse free transportation to men leav- ing their employ, unless they have worked a reasonable length of time and give satisfactory service.

l ists, and those who try to buy are likely to be up against it, if they act in an independent capacity as the Watch Dog of the Treasury, once upon time, found out for himself and the city.
 We believe in figuring as above we have put the margin of profit at reasonable" maximum. But it Is not in evidence that there is to be any more tendency to lower rates for Nome than has been evidenced elsewhere. So it is that the public is likely to be compelled to pay all the traffic will bear unless some advantage is taken of the reduced rate for coal in Washington and re- lief come in that manner.
 Come to think of it there is no more reason why Nome should pay $25 ton for coal this winter than Illinois should pay s2.75. Nome is in no more position to pay that price than is Illinois to pay the price that has been asked by the operators there.
 May be it is that being isolated so far from the productive feds, the people of Alaska cannot. expect to receive the benefit.
 The fact is that not in all it's history has Nome faced a fuel pro- blem so serious and so acute.
 It is so serious that it is one that the people of Nome must themselves take action upon. either endeavor- ing to have the cooperation of the local distributors towards securing a reduction in the price, or in turn ing to the government for some ac- tual relief
 Coal and fuel of all kinds in the north is no less essential than food itself. Warmth is no less necessary than clothing and shelter and food
 Everyone is stirred when the grocer increases his price and there is certainly no reason why an increase in the price of fuel should not occasion the same agitation.
 As we see it the existence of this camp is dependent just as much upon a reasonable price for fuel as a reasonable price for food, and unless something is done, the people will sooner or later be compelled to turn the key in their empty houses

| and get out.
 We do not believe that the system of distribution is accompanied by the most satisfactory and economi cal advantage to the public here. Il is one sided. We have seen il stated in a statement published as 3 reason for the probable increase that in Argentina the coal is forty dollars a ton.
 That is due of course to the lack of tonnage. But as we understand the steamship companies here, the5 are always willing to afford spaca for Nome. Moreover the fact that coal cannot be obtained is no" more a justification for an increase in price for what Is now on hand than it Is a justification for the grocer who knows no spuds can come in from the outside jockeying his price up to eight dollars a crate.
 Paying s25 ton for coal that was shipped in year ago, is allow ing certainly a more than ample margin for interest upon the origin al cost of coal.
 The time is now ripe for the peo- pie in this camp to look little ahead. These times of war are go- ing to press hard upon them, but they will press no lighter if they allow their affairs to drift and take no action regardless of what those who control distribution here are doing. If they accept any price named that they are charged for the commodities which they need, without demur and sensible action lcokink towards a prevention of a policy may be reasonable" In the minds of some: charging all the traffic will bear. they are jut doing their level best to justify the exist; ence of such a suicidal policy.
 That's the way we figure it out any way. It looks as if the people of Nome were afraid to give the subject a thought. And it is high time that they made use of that degree of intelligence that they may have been endowed with, to see if they cannot bring the price of coal or any other commodities with in the realm of more equitable distri- button.

\ PATRIOTIC MOVE.
Fund To BE Created For Comfort of
Boys In Army.

There has been movement put
on foot by some of the citizens of
this place to create fund to be used
especially for the comfort of the
members of Co. II while with the
Army forces, the proposition is, that
all who wish to do so, subscribe so
much per month, to be paid so long
as the war shall last. Subscriptions
may be forwarded to or left with
either the Republican or Herald, or
preferably with +. G. Barrass, who
has agreed to act as local treasurer.
The funds will be turned over to
the commanding officer of the Co.,
and will be used for no other purpose
than adding the needed and necess-
airy comfort to the members of Co.
II, which can't be had thru the reg
ular army channels.
A list OF those subscribing to this
fund will be published once each
week or at the least each two weeks.

BE- YOUR own
REGISTRATION BOARD
YOU KNOW WHERE YOU STAND
WITHOUT BEING
TOLD.

Almost without exception every
man who will be subject to call for
service after registration day knows
now that he is liable. This country
will have a certain number of men to
furnish for service and this number
will be per cent of the States quo
population. Roughly estimated it is
figured that Ohio County should give
about four hundred men. These four
hundred will be selected from this
county even though il be necessary
to take a large number who are now
thinking that they will be exempt
because of their being engaged more
or less in the agricultural line. The
wide publicity given to the idea that
bearing arms in the time of war has
led the people of our county to for
get their old enthusiasm. II is very
true that work on the farm will ma
terially aid us in winning the war but
this work should be left for those
who for various other reasons can
not enjoy the privilege of being pres
ent on the firing line. For real
red blooded American in good ply
warfare is uncomfortable.
Ohio county will be represented at
the front by company of infantry
which for some eleven years has
been the best company in the States
| best regiment. 1t is made up of boys
from the best families in the county
and is Differed by men born and
reared in the county. Wherever Co.
II, Bird Ky. INIT, may be throughout
the war the people of Ohio county
will never lose sight of it and it is
hoped that this company may always
be made up entirely of men who
know each other.
Recruiting offices for Co. II are
now open at Hartford and enlist
ments are being made every day
which will eventually fill il 10 full
strength. BY special provisions
made at the discretion of the Re-
cruiting Officer it is possible for men
to be accepted for enlistment and
then allowed to return to their homes
awaiting orders to move to the
mobilization camp. This provision
is made because of the numerous OBJ
jections to remaining at Hartford
inactiye until sent to join the Com
pany in camp. BY thus enlisting the
registration may be avoided and
liability in the draft is removed. 1t
is not known just how long the Off
ce at Hartford will be open but mott
fication will be made.
