DIMK CRKKK DOINGS.
The fact that things are wide
open in Dime creek is now made
public by practically everyone who
visited the place or who comes to
Nome from that camp. Drunken
orgies, gambling and dance houses
provide every possible means for
skinning the miners.
How a license came to be issued
lor a camp wherein there is no de
puty might be inexplicable where it
not for the known fact to what ex
tent blind pigging had proceeded
there before that.
The existence of the big games
whereat half stewed or indifferently
sober persons can suffer the extrac
tion process without pain is now
notorious, and this Division must
rejoice in the fact that in all Al
aska. it alone possesses a wide open
camp of the wild and woolly var
iety.
Some boost that hut by a singular
coincidence it is also in the Second
Division where the eight hour
underground law lias been fiagt ant
ly violated—and since May 1—
under a tricky contract!
nomi: ii \ uitt>i;.
Some may regard the Nome H lr
bor proposition a joke of the pork
barrel variety, but just now if they
■will take a stroll down to the mouth
of Snake river and note what i ve
local coastwise sailing and motet
boats have to contend against tin y
would change their mind. Moreover
the sailings for the north have bee 1
delayed by reason of the fact that
the motor boats have been unable
to load up or to enter the bar o
Snake river.
Since the break up. the Snake
river lias shifted its mouth dve Vi
the silt gathering a liar in its for m
er course. It now runs closer to
River street and midway in its
channel is the row of piling which
effectively increases the difficulty of
navigating the mouth.
A result of this has been delays
to miners and travellers and gener
ally an increased hazard to life and
limb.
Surely the need of a harbor with
out further delay is v. rv mu !i in
evidence.
HARD SI.KDDI.'SG.
Apparently there are a number ol
sleuths and officials who believe
that the law is a handy ineait3 ol
putting one over on the other fel
low.
Recent proceedings on the Paci
fic Coast fully show this.
Thus in Everett trials, in tu> tria
of Mayor Gill. and now in tn<
Powers case signs are growing thai
the defendant is the victim of at
official frame-up.
It is unnecessary to mention tin
notorious Mooney case and thu per
sistent effort to railroad those per
sons who are the defendants 01
testimony which has proven to hi
.perjury.
When the jury in the case o
Thomas Tracy returned a verdict o
not guilty they practically returns
a verdict of guilty against tin gun
men and officials who had accordinj
to testimony engineered the Veron.
massacre. There has been no eft or
made to "bring the culprits to jus
tice. any jnore than there lias-beet
an effort to deal with Oxman whom
testimony convicted Thomas Moone;
before going further with thesi
miserable cases.
Such incidents are well calculate!
in bring the law into contempt an<
those who do deal justly and right
ly between man and man In thi
courts will all have harder sledd! ig
The tendency to view the guilt o
all from the criminality of one hai
been observed of old.
EDITOR BRISBANE.
The news dispatch which says
I that Arthur Brisbane has bought
the Washington Times is one of in
terest as far as the newspaper
world is concerned. It is not too
much to say that of all the brilliant
men whose ability the wealth ot
Hearst was able to hire, Brisbane
was the ablest.
His editorials have done more to
make famous the Hearst publica
tion than any other factor. The way
in which these powerful articles
were written and the manner In
which they were presented to the
public popularized them instantane
ously.
At no time have his articles shown
such vigor and such ability as since
the international crisis embroiled
the I'nited States, and it is safe to
say that for sanity of vision and
breadth of thought his articles have
been a regular oasis in a wealth of
drivel i:i th- general run of the ca
pitalist press.
It is upon the brains of Brisbane
ikr.t Hearst has built up his journa
| listic reputation and it is hard to
see when lie will obtain a fitting
successor.
If Brisbane separates himselt
entirely from the Hearst organiza
tion presumably Kaufmann whose
epigrammtic rot and platitudinous
clap-trap has for some time been
adorning the Hearst pages, may be
the Brisbane successor. It is easy
enough to conjecture how infinitely
the entire newspaper system would
suffer in consequence, that is il
wo pay much attention to the edi
torial features of any journal. It
point of fact, it w'ould be a mistake
to do so. It is the exception and nol
the rule that the editorial page ol
any paper is a daily feature and th(
general run of readers, wise in £
manner of speaking front a goof
deal of effort to road them, pay n<
attention to the editorials that dc
appear from day to day.
That the Washington Times ha:
a great future before it, edited by
the ablest editor in America, o
course goes without saying in any
event.
SM.MI l< ANT KNOUill.
The dispatch that conies fron
Vienna, via Copenhagen tHat tin
Bohemians are deserting the Aus
trian army and joining the Russian
is significant enough.
It is significant- because of th
fact that they find a refuge in Rus
sia; not necessarily because tin
Slovaks have never felt at honi
under Austrian rule or because the;
were notoriously disloyal even be
fore the war.
The fact is that Russia will In
able to induce multitudes of sold
iers to desert from those nation
that have not attained the degre
of freedom which the Russians hav
obtained and in this way presen
extremely dangerous enemies to th
imperialism of the Central Powers.
But even in America it is s^gnific
ant that some of the greater inter
' ests have already observed some
thing not altogether satisfactor
in the Russian revolution, and ar
parently they fear that it is to b
the ralying ground for the force
of radicalism throughout the woric
! j Thus the Boston Daily Journa
‘ j views with considerable appreher
■ sion the situation:
“The news from Sweden become
' somewhat disquieting. The Swedis
■ Social-Democrats are growing it
■ treasingly restive. They talk of re
■ volution and the “Red Republic,
says said paper.
1 j Now, this is a distinctly ominou
i | portent, not because persons in
■ | certain country called Sweden ar
! I talking revolution. People in severs
. [ other countries, such as Russia an
' j Spain, are doing the same thinf
> and we find it quite natural, be
cause in these latter countries th
political and social systems ate s
bad that most well-informed Am
ericans feel that, were they Rue
sians or Spaniards, they would pro
ably be wanting to make revolu
tions, too.
But in Sweden it is different. In
Sweden, political and social condi
tions are good, as good as, it not in
some respect better, than our own.
Why, then, do many Swedes today
talk of revolution?
The main reason is to found in
that spirit of revolt against 'the
whole fabric of civilization, that
proletarian desire, not merely of
equality, but of class dominion,
which has been apparent throughout
the world for the last ten years,
and which has been agravated by
the present war. This spirit is
“Syndicalism"—known to us Amt r
icans through the “I. W. W.”—hie
“Industrial Workers of the World.”
The Russian revolution has every
where heartened the foes of pre
sent-day society. It has given them
a territorial focus, a base of opqr i
tions, and if the “Reds” overthrow
the provisional government of Rus
sia and replace the liberal leaders,
Miliukov, Lvov, etc., by chiefs of
realy crimson hue, we shall see a
wave of syndicalist unrest sweep
over the whole earth.
Sweden, Russia's ncighboor, is
caught first by the revolutionary
ground-swell. It is not against this
or that political abuse that ths
Swedish Social-Democrats are rais
ing their heads; it is against th-}
whole fabric of modern society,
whose basis is both Sweden’s and
ours. Russia and Sweden lie geo
graphically far away, but in the
more ethereal realm of thought and
emotion they may stand closer than
we dream. The Russian revolution
may be the beginning of great and
terrible things. We would do well
to prepare against a coming storm."

SEATTLE. June 27.—H. Wells,
the socialist, who was arrested
charged with sedition for circulat
ing circulars against conscription
although the offending paper was
printed, published and distributed
before the draft law was passed and
who was on that account suspended
from his employment in the city
light department, must be reinstat
ed or discharged before July 1, ac
cording to the ruling of the civil
service commissioners today.
Wells trial will not take place
until Spring. It is likely that the
man will be reinstated pending the
result of the trial.
