Monday, September 19, an in- formal and open meeting of the newly organized Nome Athletic Association was held at the Nome Public High School.
 This meeting was presided over by MT. Pool, acting as temporary chairman. A general discussion was held as to the Possibilities and possibilities of such an organ ization.
 Twenty eight interested parties being present, a vote was held to decide the extent of this asso- citation, whether 1t was to be an all-sports association or to be confined to basketball. Vote car ried in favor of an all-sports as sociation.
 Officers elected were: Calvin Pool president; Jerry Harney, vice4president; Al Hjellen secre- tary, Charles O'Leary treasurer.
 It was thought that a greater range of sports could be taken care of thru this association, and means of financing this associa- ton was brought out. Sports men toned that would possibly have following were: skiing, fencing, ping pong, ice skating and hock- ey, volley ball, rife matches, al- ong with basketball and baseball, the two popular winter sports.
 After the adjournment of the meeting, the fellows ran for the gym to get the stiff spots out of their joints by tossing the cas- aba around. Some fiashy mater ial showed up and it's beginning to look as if the town of Nome will be able to boast of four if not more, good basketball teams. with the Federal aspirans clock

PAY FOR THE DOUGHBOY

Now seems to be as good time as any to grab up the editorial musket in behalf of the Doughboy Not because the doughty Doughboy is in need of physi cal assistance to keep his enviabe record untanished for doing the nations dirty work in time of national emergency in highly efficient manner No indeed the Army Doughboy can give a good account of him. self in any mans language. But it is to fire voey in support of fair deal in pay for the lads in khaki that take up the weapon.
 Some time ago there was a bill introduced in Congress to increase the pay of enlisted men of the Army Apparently, it has gone the way of other less worthy in the shuffle. With due regard to the need for governmental economy, it would appear sideration
 According to the best available information, the pay of the buck private" is $21 per month about $9 less than that of the enrolee in the Civilian Con servation Camp The same information gives the average pay of the enlisted man in the Navy as $82681 annually while the soldiers average is S437 29 little more than half much. Figures presented at a recent congressional hearing reveal that the Navy will spend $89,118,089 in enlisted mems pay in the fiscal year of 1889 for 1O7,785 men, The Armys figures for the period for men, 162OO0 is S70842311 Some of this difference is accounted for by the fact that the Navy has ratings and thus petty, or commissioned officers But regardless of this feature of Navy service differ ence seems little bit startling.
 The enlisted mans pay is small at best but it strikes us that the Doughboy serving quietly and oyally in time of peace well time of war is en- titled to the same pay consideration as enlisted men 8n other branches of the service He's never failed to be there yet when we want him.

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1888


 Benefic planetary aspects rule strongly on this first day of the month, according to astrology. It is a day of good feeling, rising hopes and renewed courage.
 Labor continues under threaten ing portentS for the summer when there will be numerous tests of the wisdom of employers and employees in the settling of stubborn disputes.
 The stars presage an extraordin- ary trend toward travel and the transportation of great numbers of Americans by ships. This may mean movement of troops, but not nec- essarily naval engagements or even the assignment of United States battleships to foreign ports.
 This is an suspicious date for signing legal papers and seems to preSage important international agreements Again surprising align ments among foreign nations are forecast.
 This is not a favorable time to seek employment, especially in pro- fessional or highly trained posi- tions. College graduates should de- lay efforts to place themselves.
 In the evening disturbing news of some sort may be received. The stars continue to forecast unrest, uncer- tainty and change that affect per- sons of every class.
 Mars is in powerful sway and the configuration for the month is not reassuring to peace lovers. The seers prophecy that in event of European war involving friendly nations this country will be involved.
 Great heat waves and widespread drought may be expected in mid- summer when health should be watched as epidemics are indicated.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of perplexities. Losses through friends may be sus- tained, but there will be profits in small transactions.
 Children born on this day may be adventurous, energetic and able to lead others. Subjects of this sign of Gemini may have two distinct interests in life and many are ex- ceedingly versatile.
 Charles Davenport, American zo- ologist, was born on this day 1866. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Brigham Young, Mormon leader, 1901; Samuel Hall, noted jurist, 1797

n o t hesitate to rush in where
school-taught caution dared not
tread. He stood for the right OF
his race with all the might of his
rugged nature. In this attitude
he was respected even when he
ruffied the most passionate
dogma of racial prejudice. No
Negro from Frederick Douglass
to Walter White has yet forfeit
ed the respect of the American
people by standing up manfully
for the rights of his race.
DePriest was universally hon.
ored and extolled by his race, as
thei rpoitical exponent. He went
up and down the land, North,
East, South and West proclaim
ing the doctrine of equality set
forth in the Declaration of In
dependence and the Constitu-
ton of the United States. His
race overwhelmed him with
FEAST banquets and testimonials.
/, myself, sponsored a nation
wide testimonial in his honor
after he had been de feated for
Congress.
But so swiftly passes the glory
of this world. "Out of sight, out
of mind" expresses the phil
sophy Of the politician. De-
Priests local constituents turn
ed him down for substitute
who up to that time was UNI
known and untried. Arthur w.
Mitchell took the political tide
at flood which lead os to fortune
Oscar DePriest was the victim
of its ebb. The Negro vote
south of the Mason and Dixon
line is potentially Republican ;
North of that line it is dynamic
ally Democratic. DePriest
could not reverse this tendency.
May this great tribune of the
people enjoy the peace and COM
fort of his retirement to the end
of his days. After all Oscar De-
Priest is not the victim of racial
ingratitude but of political
events. Kelly Miller.

KELLY MILLER SAYS
Oscar DePriest in Retreat

Political fame is ephemeral.
But yesterday the word of Oscar
DePriest reverbrated through
out the nation today there are
few so poor as to do him rever-
ance. We scarcely see his name
in the press or hear it pronoun-
ced from the public forum.
There h ad been twenty-one
Negro members of Congress
before the advent of Congress-
man DePriest. But it is not un-
fair to his predecessors to say
that he made a greater political
impression upon his day and
generation than any one of them
and indeed than all of them put
together.
There had been a lapse of a
quarter of a century, plus, be-
tween the Swan Song of Con-
gresham George H. White and
the arrival of Oscar DePriest on
the floor of Congress. During
that barren interval the Negroes
pnlitical fortune under Taft,
Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and
Hoover reached a new low. The
race passed through the shadow
of political despair. When Os-
car DePriest was catapulted into
Congress from the first Illinois
district he was the first fruit of
segregation in its political as
pect. AS member of Congress
he was the Negroes Congress
man at large with a race-wide
constituency Of twelve million.
No other member of Congress
attracted wider notice than he
throughout the three terms of
is tenure. He was the Negroes
congressman par excellence.
Oscar DePriest sprang from the
people, and remained with the
people. The humblest and the
highest alike fousd favor with
him. He was blunt, straight for
ward, unschooled and unpublished.
He was no orator and spoke like
the young Demosthenes, as if
his mouth was full of PEBBLES
but his words attracted atten-
ton and carried weight by
virtue of their simplicity and
blunt directness.
If he had any one command
ing quality, it was his absolute
fearlessness and courage. He
missed the timidity and restraint
which too often spring from
education and culture. He did
