The Bishops of the Church of
England have released five thousand
minor clergy from the duties of
their orders and the pastoral serv
ices which they have been sup
posed to render, and left them free
to enlist and fight for “King and
Country”, it is in Heaven, not on
Earth where such sublime generos
ity upon the part of the Bishops
will be appreciated, and when the
minor clergy have offered up their
lives for the King, they will, we feel
satisfied, be rewarded with a ert>wn
will certainly be of eighteen carats.
We overlook wholly for the time
being that injunction that was is
sued some time ago and which was
supposed to be of very binding force
namely “Thou shalt not kill . As
tar as we have been able to gather
there were no amendments passed
by the filibusterers that chattered
x round the Golden Call when Moses
came back with the Tables of Stone
from Mount Sinai, and the command
was binding just as it was meant
to be.
But we live now in another age
and such trifles as commandments
that get in the way of the capitalist
civilizations that adorn the world
are adjusted suitably to the needs
of our economy.
Who, for example, feels that in
dustrial over-lords should be bonne
by any such a trumpery thing as th.
prohibition of labor upon the Sab
bath day. Modern industry aiu
profit making require that men worl
upon that day and for that reasoi
that commandment also is unconsti
tutional so to say.
So it is a mighty virtue is dis
covered in killing upon the battle
tit-id and the very triumph of tin
Church militant is seen in the ord
« ring of five thousand episcopal mi
ulsters to the front. Society wil
la greatly henefitted l»v such
policy.

Frank Aldrich, Senator from this
Division, again acquires fame by the.
introduction or a militia bill and
providing for a national guard.
It is hard to imagine Frank in ^
the role of swash buckler, but it Is
not impossible that the Juneau min
ing magnates have discovered thC|
necessity for a militia and Frank
manfully brings in the bill to meet j
the long felt managerial want.
The use of a militia in Alaska
for protection purposes is not selt
evident, it as a fighting unit would
of necessity he able to cover such a
small extent of this land of distances
that we can reject the notion that a
militia s required for any such a
purpose*' It could never displace
the regular army either for offen
sive or defensive purposes and
what community wants to trade
off the regulars for the militiamen.
.lust now all the papers on the
outside are filled with the demon
strated inadequacy of the militia as]
a fighting force after the border ex- j
perienee, and it seems that general j
consent admits tiiat they are useful t
only as military utitis to be used in
time of industrial disturbances.
And we have no doubt whether Aid
rich is conscious or unconscious of
the fact, that is precisely the rea
son why a militia is urged of late so
strenuously for Alaska.
It is heard to emanate from cen
ters where extensive pay rolls and
large numbers of workers exist.
It is strenuously urged especially in
Juneau where such peonist condi
tions prevail that miners are getting
scarcer and scarcer for the simple
reason that common labor is higher
paid in mining camps outside than
the most skilled labor in that sec
tion of Alaska.
A militia to exercise any protect
ing influence over the territory is
literally an unthinkable proposition.
In case of a war one company of
regulars would be worth all the
guardsmen that could be mustered
into service, and it is absurd to
saddle the territory with the militia
expense for that reason.
We dont believe that any such
an absurd idea enters the very fool
ish heads of the territorial states-j
men or politicians, accessible to fool
ish notions as indeed they are, but
we say that these men who sup
port t lie notion of a militia are
merely the puppets of the big inter
ests who want a militia that the
workers can be bull dozed to quiet
ude in the face of economic oppres
sion.

Alaska has more interest in the
revolution in Russia than any other
section of the United States. Rus
sia is our neighbor and is a coun
try with which especially the Second
Division has had intimate dealings.
Across the sea a few days sail are
gold mines, coal beds, and mineral
resources which so far have never
been rightly exploited. Anadir has
the finest harbor in the north and
the streams in Anadir are all auri
ferous. What has delayed the set
tlement of that section of Siberia
has been the red tape of Tzardom.
Likely as not that will.all be re
moved, and in the removal, we can
safely assert that the next big stam
pede will be to Siberia.
Siberia is a land of mystery, but
there have been Nomeites who ven
tured there and who returned with
gold dust from its streams. Prohi
; hitory mining laws and strict offlcial
i dom have tended to exclude all for
eigners from visiting Siberia but if
the revolt burns up a quantity of
red tape, it will throw open an im
mense amount of frontier land to
the wander-lustful mushers of the
I north and there will be a big exodus
^across the Bering Sea.
I : It will forward the development
| of the country on both sides of the
j ocean unimaginably and permit an
! other chance to the many who have
been watching the last frontier be
ing seized by the plunderbund to
their total exclusion.
It is not hard to realize, therefore
that the momentous events which
have transpired in Petrograd .will
have an effect will reverberate
around the world and especially for
Nome have those stirring episodes
in the Russian Empire a great sig
nificance. It opens up new fields
for the prospector and an immense
amount of free land to the settler.
This may all take some time, but
in a breathing spell, conditions over
the Bering Sea will be such that we
may expect no small exodus from
Alaska or from the States of former
Alaskans to the Siberian land that
some time ago many of them cast
covetous eyes enough upon.
ALDEltM.VNir TIMBER.
The activity to secure timber f ir
the municipal positions is very no
ticeable but as yet none of the most
active have stated wherein such
timber will present itself to them as
most suitable. It is to be honed that
they will be explicit. It
is to be hoped they will in detail
state what shall be in their estima
tion a pre-requisite to aldermanic
position holding. Then the people
can judge of tlie qualifications of
the candidates put forward and
choose them as they would choose
any other instrument for service.
It would be well to know, for so
many voters are in the dark, what
it is that is to be considered the es
sential factor in a candidate’s fit
ness. After that the people can
judge more clearly. This can be
done too, without eliminating the
personal factor so strong always
no matter what is said or done.
