GOING DOWN.
The sudden slum]) in wheat fol
lowing the prohibition or suspen
sion of speculative buying is signifi
cant. in that it reveals tlie fact that
what people have been paying for
tiiis commodity is regulated by
those who corner, or by buying and
selling interrupt in either case, the
relation of the supply and demand.
In other words the people have
to pay much or less for their bread
according as some gentleman who
will not go hungry is making or
losing thousands by his gambling.
Hut, the system exists for that
purpose. It is for the end of mak
ing money that men buy and sell,
manufacture and distribute and not
to meet any great public need or to
fill any general requirement upon
the part of society. So only the
critical war situation is to be thank
ed upon the part of those whose
daily bread became an uncertain
proposition, for the fact that this
important ‘business” of grain
brokerage is to be interfered with
in the least.
Let us lie thankful for small
mercies.
TDK MOONKV CASK.
Still hanging over Thomas Mooney
is the deatli sentence. Meantime
although superabundant testimony
has been collected to prove that
Oxman was not only a perjurer, but
as well a framer of perjury
aganist this man. Mooney langush
cs in jail, to lie hanged by the neck
some time near the end of the
month unless some legal power in
tervenes.
All of which is calculated to give
the workingman and especially tlie
union man an abiding sense of the
inviolable nature of California jus
tice and the semi-divine nature ot
the law. All of which will be ap
propriated to excellent uses when
comparisons are instituted and the
question is asked what would hap
pen Mooney were he not a formei
union organizer, but a member ol
say—the "Law'norder Committee”
of the San Francisco Chamber ot
Commerce one of whose members
suggested the policy of “filling the
hospitals with unionmen”.
SKCO.VD CLASS POSTAGE.
There are numbers of public
men who have been always opposed
to second class postage for the news
papers of the country. They be
lieved somehow that the second
class postage provided an easy
means of circulation for the radical
papers and in every way they have
tried to hamper this.
They provided post oflice officials
with arbitary power to keep out of
the mails certain matter which was
unwelcome to .lie powers that be,
and numerous radical papers have
been suspended upon that very ac
count.
Maybe it is because many of the
more intelligent upholders of things
as they are realize that radical pa
pers will disseminate radical views,
second class or no second ( lass post
age, and hence see no reason lor
this prohibition.
But. the present time seems to
afford the reactionists an oppor
tunity of striking radical papers a
hard blow and they are determined
,to make the most of it apparently.
HOME Itl’LE.
Ho would be a wise man wlio
would attempt to correctly analyze
tjie situation in Ireland just now
or for several months previously.
It is quite likely that we know
as much about actual conditions
that exist there as do the British
government officials, but an under
standing of the situation in Ireland
was never the strong point of the
London government’s genius.
The proposal to give Irelaml
Home Utile, eliminating from the i
law six Ulster counties out of the
total of thirty-two in the whole ot
Ireland, is so typical of British re
formists that it is almost startlingly
characteristic.
British officials handling the Irish
question have done everything piece
meal, everything by compromise,
everything with “sops and doles’ as
John Morley in one of his Home
Rule speeches said.
The inability to proceed largely
and generously and wholeheartedly
upon a plan of settlement of the
Irish question is apparently imposs
ible to Downing Street today as a
half a century and more ago.
If there was at any time a call
for a liberal and tolerant policy
towards Ireland it was when the
war broke out. John Mitchell made
the welkin ring in other days with
the slogan that England's difficulty
was Ireland’s opportunity and that
has never been really forgotten by
a powerful minority at least of the
Irish people.
But much more so was England's
difficulty. England's opportunity in
Ireland, although it has to be ad
mitted that none of the British
statesmen were large enough and
liberal enough and radical enough to
realize it.
They perist in tinkering and
patching and repairing when the
call is for a totally new policy;
either the completion of the sub
jection of the Irish race after the
manner of a Cromwell, or the finer
admission that the past was a past
of error and wrong and the future
would be a future of Justice and
Right.
Ireland seems to have been pro
vided as a means of showing how
petty can be the aims of men who
are called to rule the largest empire
in the world.
In any event the latest proposal
of Lloyd George will not satisfy the
majority of the prliamentarians
while it will more bitterly antago
nize the Sein Fein people.
LOCAL ITEMS.
Letters to Nome convey particu
lars of the latest strike in the Koy
uk country which is said to be
bona fide. One letter from a man
who was on the spot said that
twelve holes were sunk and pay lo
cated in two. Thomas Gaffney in
forms this paper that the pay found
he was told when at Dime creke,
consisted of several feet of ten cent
dirt at the bottom of one shaft.

In the Eagle Hall seven repeated
reels will be shown Sunday night.
Mary Fuller stars in the headliner
a three reel Victor Comedy that
ends well when the soap king's
daughter marries the scion of a
Knickerbocker family and Mama
marries the duke. An industrial
reel entitled Liquid Bread is frull
of instruction and interest. It
Happened on A Friday, is a Nestor
Comedy well acted. A Coat's a
Coat is some class picture of the
farce variety, while a Universal
Weekly showing war scenes and
our growing navy is of never failing
interest. This is a well balanced
program.

Duffy O'Connor left yesterday for
Golovin to attend to the Hettie B.
He is intending to launch the boat
out over the ice to open water or
until the craft breaks through. He
will than cruise up the coast and
expects to be riding safe when the
Ice goes out from here, ready for
the spring business. There is a
considerable amount of freight to
;o down to Dime creek as soon as
:hc ice goes out and there is likely
;lso to bo considerable competition
:or the carriage of it to the Koyuk.
\t least five boats have signified in
en lions of leaving for Dime on the
Irst trip after the ice goes out.
