MUST CONTINUE MONARCHY
 IN RUMANIA PREMIER SAYS

Bucharest, Ru:nania, Nov. 21, R-Leaving sick bed to receive the Associated Press correspondent Premier Bratteinau characterized as ridiculous the recent fantastic reports that he intended to estab- fish a republic in Rumania. "The Liberal Party he said. "has af- firmed constantly that Rumania can prosper and develop only as a foundation of its constitution. The foundationo fits constitution. The monarchy must be kept aioft from political dissention. It is sheer nonsense to refer to me as dic- tator for did not come into my power by force but at the wish of a man whose competence has never been questioned-King Ferdinand who realized that he was dying and believed that the government would be safer in my hands than in any other"
 The premier. who has been i'll for three weeks with influenza. fatly denied the reports that he was threatening to establish a re- public if Queen Marie attempted to 10 to Paris to see Carol. He said: the Queen Is too noble a woman to attempt to upset the existing dynastic order" Asked if he in- tended to allow Carol to return either as . member of the regency or asking provided the Rumanian peopled esired 1t, the Premier an- swered: "It does not depend upon my will or that of any other per- son. The constitution expressly prohibits any modification of it's text during the minority of the presnt soverign."

MONIES POSTMASTER
 IS ON THE JOB

In an interview with Postmaster Anderson the Nugget learns that all first class letter mail will be held for shipment oi the next trip of the airplane from Nome to Fair banks which will probably be Fri day. There is a mail leaving Nome today by dog team but the post master is giving the driver a full load of other classes of mail mat ter, which can not be carried by the plane. There is not a great deal of letter mail on hand for the plane so 1t Is up to Nomeites to get busy and mail some letters to friends outside. Tn this connection we wish to draw attention to the fact that he Chamber of Commerce has prepared some printed matter in reference to the extension of the tramroad from Shelton to Candle and also for the extension of the Snake river jetties. Envelopes and circulars can be obtained free at the Nugget once or at A. Polet's store. Get busy and help the air. plane service, the community and yourself, by sending some of this literature in letters. |

EDITORIAL
WE HAVE REASON
 TO BE THANKFUL

Nomeites had many things to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day. We have sour health. which is most essential tf one is to enjoy the other thtpSs of life. We have en- joyed wdadsrfully collaborating wea- ther, while Jess fortunate places in other parts of Alaska have been visited by earthquakes, and many of the large cities of the United States by tornadoes wind and rain storms. which have caused untold loss of life and property. When one reads of the many disasters throughout the world the thought comes to one many times how lucky we are to be up in Alaska after all.
 We have reason to be thankful for our Thanksgiving mail brought to Nome by airplane from Fair banks-7OO miles distant. No doubt there were many letters re- ceived in that mail bearing kind words to loved ones from relatives in far away places in the States. It is the first time in the history of Nome that we had a Thanksgiving Day Mail from the Outside, and it is the first time 1t was ever brought to us by airplane at this season of the year, So we say we can be thankful that we did not have to wait until Christmas or New Years to receive 1t by dog team.
 We are thankful that We have no epidemics of sickness: no suffering or hunger in our community. and We venture to say that there was not human being in Nome but who had something to be thankful for on this memorable day.

ALASKA BONE DRY ACT Is HOSTILE TO NATIONAL.
 PROHIBITION ACT

In Tuesdays telegraph dispatches we were infoEaae that the Sup reme Court of the United States handed down decision in an AL aska liquor case and declared that the search warrant section of the Alaska Bone Dry Law wac repealed by the National Prohibition Act.
 Under the Alaska Bone Dry Law. warrant could be issued for the search of a private residence under the theory that intoxicating liquors were on the premises. but under the National Prohibition Act mo residence can be lawfully searched except upon proof of sales."
 In today's telegrams on the front page will be found a more detailed description of what is fully meant in the Governments protecting of private homes, in all territory sub ject to the jurisdiction of the Uni ted States. wherin Justice Mickey holds is quoted on the subject.
 One need not be a lawyer or judge to understand that the Con stitution of the United States in sures government of the people. by the people and for the people, as former President Abraham Lin coln remarked The Constitution never was meant to deal with it's citizens any differently, whether they reside in Alaska or in Wash ington. D. C. The same laws or Acts of Congress spread over all it's vast domain and equal justice to all Is the right of its citizenry. To arrest a man under a State or Territorial Law when that law is in direct opposition to our Na- tional Constitution is absurd. Ye. there are plenty of Federal officials who wax fat with their feet under the pie counter. who set themselves up as dictators instead of servants of the people. who will take ad- vantage of the opportunity to bring before the courts citizens who have been arrested for violation of the prohibition laws. and in each and every case the official who has the case in hand will endeavor to ar raign the offender under the Bone Dry Law or the National Prohibi- tion Act at his pleasure.
 There Is no such thing in law where a man can be hamstrung by two different laws for the same of fenss except in Alaska. and why there should be is beyond our com prehension. It will be appreciated by the citisenry of Alaska to know that this offensive section of the Alaska law which has been enforc- ed heretofore is no moro, and that we arc to be treated the same as the citizens of other places under the American Flag.

FIVE KILLED IN COLORADO
 COAL STRIKE BATTLE

Denver, Colo. Nov. 2l. @-The I. w. W. strike in the Colorado coal fields today claimed i've vic tims when the State police shot and killed two unidentified strikers. The strikers were shot when they rush. ed through the gates at the Col umbine Mine. Nearly five hundred had gathered outside the mine gates at five .. m., and were met by Louis N. Scherf. chief of the State Law Enforcement Department and a dozen men from among the strik- CTS were commanded to halt, but in- stead they surged through the gate and engaged in hand to hand con- bict with the guards. The police used their guns as clubs as they were overwhelmed by the strikers who used rocks. clubs and knives. Scherf rallied his men to withdraw to a position and gather on the property. As the strikers approach ed he warned them to stop and fired two shots over their heads. The strikers continued to advance and the officers levelled their guns dt- rectly into the strikers and opened fire. After a score or more had dropped the strikers lied. One of the injured is not expected to live. Several others were seriously wounded, one of whom was a wo- man dressed in mans clothing. Governor Adams has ordered the Colorado National Guard to the coal fields to maintain order and protect life and property.
