DAY WAS
ONE OF QUIET AND REST

No religious services were held in
Dawson for Thanksgiving, but there
was a general observance of the day
in quiet way. All places of bust
ness were closed and the people for
the most part were in their homes
until afternoon, when many of them
enjoyed getting out in their automo-
biles. Quite a number spent the day
hunting, and moving picture parties
were very popular, show of unusual
interest having been put on for the
day. The day was largely given over
to rest of body and mind, and there
was very little entertaining.

DEFYING THE LAW.

Unless we are sadly mistaken the direct
ing spirits Of the Union Record of this city
are not only denying the allegations which
have been lodged against them, but they are
likewise defying the allegators, in their un-
necessary criticism of every part and parcel
OF the United States government, none of
which, as we see it, will make matters any
better. That there are multiplied thousands
of irregularities, yea even grose abuses per-
mitted in the ruling affairs of this govern
ment is quite apparent, but there is no
sense in destroying the entire governmental
fabric in order to correct an irregularity or
well established abuse What think you
of one who would raze his house to the
ground to stop a leak in the roof?. IF the
radicalisms of the editors and publishers of
the Union Record and like publications pre-
vail in this country then our governments
al home will be rent assunder in order to
correct eradicate a weakess. It's within
the voting strength Of the working people
Of this country with their ballots to correct
or change any part Of the working system
Of this government and yet not resort to
violence in any form. Again we appeal to
the citizens of this country to sheath their
swords, eXtinguish their fire brands and
throttle the god of war and lets reason
together and save our country from a like
fate Of that prevailing throughout Russia

WHERE'S JOHN DOE.

The law is looking for John Doe, who left
before twas time to 90, he shot his neghbor
IN the back as he was travelling down
:ract. In every county Of this state, the law
is just bit too late, to apprehend the
criminal cur, who slew his neighbor from
the fir. So sheriffs come and sheriffs go to
find John Doe and Richard Roe, who lie in
ambush for a chance to shoot some hero
at a glance. Such outlaws seek the world
to rule through deadly anarchstic FOOLS
They stir their poison in a pot to put our
country on a trot, but he who fights and
runs away, will live to fight another day.
The law will surely run you down if any
where you can be found. It has been
written long before, thou shalt not spill
thy neighbours gore, and whether white
or black or "Red' to righteous judgment
you II be lead. 'Tis wrong to kill fellow
man because he doesn t suit your clan. Then
forthwith cut your folly out and cause
yourself to right about, and meet your
neighbor face to face and form some plan
to save our race from chaos and disgrace.
It's time we settle all disputes and extract
all the dangerous roots, which cross our
pathways right and left, while Juggling ma
ture s heavy heft When each one lends a
helping hand to all that's living in this land,
then natures sun again will shine on you
Nnd yours and me and mine, and from the
hill tops and the trees we II all proclaim, let
man be free, in this sweet land Of liberty

A BAD BEGINNING.

If the Triple Alliance Of this state, coun-
ty and city thinks it can succeed in it's
political efforts, by putting forward cand-
dates for public preferment, who are either
accused criminals or dangerous radicals
and hope for even majority of the per-
sons, who hold some slight allegiance to it's
cult, to say nothing of the public in general,
to vote for them, then the Triple Alliance
is not only crazy, but absolutely criminal.
The voters will decide today who will sue
ceed w. S. Lincoln as port commissioner and
it is here predicted that by two to one
vote it will be w. S. Lincoln The candidate
Of the Triple Alliance is not under a criminal
cloud as was one of the candidates for
school director advocated by the Alliance,
but he is a pestiferous agitator, whose
teachings have verged closely on to revolu-
tionaryism none Of which is desired by the
loyal citizens. If the Triple Alliance do
not put forward better men for it's standard
bearers it will do as has many similar moves,

They enforced their own laws and they pre-

OUR SOCIAL UNREST.

1T is an amazing thing,' says the presi
dent Of Columbia University, ''that after
125 years there should appear the necessity
of redefining Americaism." Why is it an
amazing thing? Every generation has de-
fined Amercansm for itself, and the coun-
try still belongs to the living, not to the
dead.
Even Nicholas Murray Butler would not
accept the Americanism of 125 years ago.
with it's human slavery, with it's denial of
manhood suffrage, with it's property and
religious qualifications for voting, with it's
indentured servants and with all the class
privileges that it sought to maintain. Amer
icanism has been revolutionized in the last
125 years, and it will undoubtedly be revo-
lutionized again in the next 125 years.
The country is now passing through
period of great economic industrial un-
rest which in turn is causing more or less
political unrest. Much of it is the direct
product of the war and must be dealt with
accordingly. Neither the Bolsheviki nor the
I. w. w. have created it, although they are
busily engaged in trying to capitalize it in
the attempt, by violence and otherwise, to
fasten upon the United States new sys
tenn Of class government.
It is futile to try to deal with this stua-
ton merely by a policy Of repression. Al
ter all the alien Bolsheviki have ben de
ported and all the l. w. w. chased from one
town to another. as the practice is in the
West we shall be right where we started
unless an intelligent attempt is made to ar
rive at an understanding of the causes of
this discomfort.
1t is not the discomfort Of people who
are starving or who are even hungry. 1t is
not the discomfort Of people who are op-
pressed by government except in so far as
Prohibition contributes to it, 1t is rather the
discomfort of people who in spite Of the
most widely distributed material prosperity
are profoundly dissatisfied with an economic
system that they regard as unfair. and who
are bindly groping toward something diff
ferent which they cannot clearly define.
What is going on in the United States is
going on everywhere else. It is one Of the
inevitable consequences of war that has
unsettled all the foundations Of society.
When we stop to consider that a year after
the armistce was signed there is still no
peace and that not single measure of re-
construction has been adopted by Congress,
the wonder is that conditions are no worse.
So far as the accompanying manifesta-
tiOns Of lawlessness and violence are con-
cerned. something can possibly be done by
the Federal Government, but evry State IN
the Union has adequate powers to deal with
every offense against its peace and dignity.
There was one kind Of Americanism pre-
valent 125 years ago which may still be
commended to every governor, every sheriff,
every mayor and every police official. In
those DAYS the States did not run to the
National Capitol shriexing for assistance
every time there was riot or shooting or
