No Small fry" editor would dare
the ridiculous by announcing that a
congressional district in Missouri
had sent niger to congress or that
the Austrian Empire prohibited other
forms of worship than that establish
ed by the state. Only the greater
minded local editor of the Hartford
Herald would take such long
chance on the ignorance of the public.
Here is another specimen of the

In his prediction letter to the
American people the President said,
"The return of. Republican MAORI
ty to either house of the congress
would, moreover. be interpreted on
the other side of the water as a re-
pudiation of my leadership" 1t is
fair to assume the President knew
whereof he spoke, and since both
Houses are Republican, Europe must,
according to his own statement, re-
gard his leadership as overwhelming
" repudiated.

The effect upon the American vot-
Iers of the Presidents letter, urging
the election of a Democrat congress
to preserve unity OF power in his
hands, is better understood now
than before the election. With the
end of the war comes the breaking
up of the unity of power, even in
those countries long Injured to mon
arches. The world has been made
indeed safe for democracy, but de-
mocracy means the free participation
of the people in the government of
the country. Unity of power in the
foremost republic of the world would
be a trayesty just when democracy
is being seeded in the soils of the Old
World monarchies. The Presidents
letter will, no doubt, go down in his
tory as the most colossal tactical
blunder ever made by an American
executive.

We have been informed that in
some sections of the county neigh
bors have allowed occurances of a
death with nobody present but the
members of the family. If this has
happened it is a disgrace to the COM
munity of its occurrence. No one
should unnecessarily expose himself
to so deadly a disease as the influenza
epidemic has proven to be, but both
the teachings of christianity and the
instincts of humanity demand a sacri-
fee in such an hour of sorrow.

The County Health officer has ask
ed us to warn the people against
using patent nostrums as a preventa-
tive or remedy for influenza, but we
are in doubt about what may be
properly called nostrums. In fact we
have persistently used a patent medi-
cine as a preventative, and have heard
what we regard as one of the most
learned physicians in the county, say
he carried the same remedy in his
pocket for his own use. So what is
a mere layman to do in the matter?
Our own opinion is that the people
use entirely too many nostrums, both
patented and prescribed, and would
advise them to use more common
sense and less medicine.

PLANS
 TAKE FORM RAPIDLY


 Fairbanks baseball aggregation is coming to Nenana to play series of ball games with the Nenana team, and from all indications there prom ises to be a good series of games. It has been rumored that the Fair banks team has added several new players to their number, who are recent arrivals in Fairbanks, and they will try and beat our boys down here like they did in the "Holy City"
 A great many of the regular baseball players were not able to go to Fairbanks to play the series started on June 21st last. So if the Fairbanks team try and slip any thing over on us in the way of Clark horses" they will have to go some, and if they move at all, of course, they will go "some". The following is the list from which our team in all probability will be picked: Taylor, Ward, Meagher, Blakey, Anderson, VanHouten, Doner, Fuel ling, Crowden, Mathews, Slippern, Johnson and Hansen. The players should call meeting and elect their captain and manager and commence to whip their material into shape. Nenana can boast of having some good baseball players who have shown themselves to be away above the average in any position they are played. Taylor, Ward, Meagher, Anderson, VanHouten, Doner and Hansen, who have been seen in ac- tion heretofore, need no introduction to the baseball fans, either as ball players or athletes. The ball grounds will be in the pink of condition in a very short time, as tf committee in charge have had men blowing and narrowing it for several days. A new roller, which the Fourth Of July committee had made and which will be used for all rolling purposes, made its appeara. ce for the first time today, it is capable oi exerting a pressure of almost any number of tons and will make the ball grounds as flat as the proverbial pancake.
 The steamer Shusana will bring the players down with number of their rooters for 10 round trip. *nd Skipper Weber has made plans to entertain them royalty while they are on board, as well as to decorat- ing and to advertising. One unique way that he has used, outside of the usual newspaper method, is to

banks by man. The sign reads Come to Nenana for the big cele- bration. The steamer Shusana will leave July 3rd for Nenana, round trip S1O." So Nenana, without a doubt, can look forward to having big crowd of people here and en- toying Fourth of July n the <. old-fashioned way.
 Everybody who expects to cop off a prize had better start shaking their feet little and getting them- selves into shape. Fairbanks will probably bring down some good men other than ball players to compete in all the events. Several of the boys in town have been doing a little secret track work, and one runner coming in from camp p beat the train in by four minutes, it is said. Of course, there are fast and slow trains.
 A communication in the form Of a challenge comes to hand from Ralph Darling, Howard Haslem, Bruce Hunting, Herb Wilson, Ken meth Case, Tom Scott and Leon Shoemaker, offering to take all corners in one-mile race (walk- ing or running) with 1O0-lb sack to be carried by each man (for bal last) entering the race. It can be reasonably said that Herb Wilson Kenneth Case and Ernest Foster are about the best pedestrians in this neck of the woods, they having been credited with doing their fifty miles per day without apparently any trouble, and if the trail had been ] longer could have done lots more. So the Nenana team who cares to compete in this one-mile pack race may leave their names with the com mittee.
 One of the features of the Fourth | of July celebration that has not al ready been mentioned, is an equip ment race, which will be entered into by the soldiers stationed here. They will all line up at a mark and go ten feet, take their bayonet out of its case and lay it on the ground, then go another ten feet and lay the rifle down, and so on until they have taken off their shoes, coats and leave enough clothing on to protect themselves from the mos quitoes. They will then turn around and dress and the man getting back first to the starting point wins the prize. This event is governed by certain rules and will be in charge of one of the soldier boys, who will see that they dress and undress properly.
 Another event not mentioned be- fore is a pony and sulky race. The ! betting is now 2 to 1 in favor of Walter Preston, who enjoys the reputation of having planted more potaties this year than any woman in Nenana and having charge of the fastest sulky horse that ever paved gravel. MT. Preston has had much experience in following hawses, and can tell a fast hawse by simply watching him run. .:. :.*
 Rev. Diven and MT. George Pen nington will deliver the Fourth of Juk orations, as they have been strong factors in the past in bring ing about the realization of our war necessities by their powerful patri- otic utterances. Rev. Diven and MT. Pennington are Nenana's two most prominent Four Minute speakers and have probably been heard more than any two men in Nenana.
 Another wonderful feature will
 
 be Pete Schmidt's battling terrors. We are going to have prize fight and a real one, and it will be on the square too. The fight is to be to a finish and the two contestants for the paperweight championship of the
