Entered as second class matter March 1, 1911, at the poet offlge at
Horae, AlasKa, under the Act of March t, 1872.
Nome. Alaska. February 17, 1810.
Tho continual cry of Dime creek
for a recorder seems to pass away
unheeded. Yet it seems fair and
reasonable. Even If tho camp is
only to have a short existence, there
surely is no reason why the con
venience of tho miners and pros
pectors should not bo met in that
littlo rospect by the government.
Wo take it that officials, at least
theoretically, are made for the ser
vice of tho people; when they are
fulfilling their functions in this re
gard thoy are undoubtedly doing
the best that can be expected of
them; but whon their position from
one reason or another is subjecting
the people to inconvonionce and ex
pense, they arc not doing aa they
are supposed to do.
To establish the records of the
Koyuk ir Council was ror.sonable
enough when but few wore there
in that section of tho country, but
when the country is now being open
ed up and hundreds of men are
there, doing tfcolr best to develop
the mineral r sources of that sec
tion, it would appear to the aver
age man that n:ma effort should be
made to acccmodato them.
The much criticized post • nice de
partment has expression it . willing
ness to establish n poet ef'ioe there,
and there i». far b c; reason why a
recorder, oven m;ro essential,
liould a<.l also ha made to reside
there to meet the demands upon his
services such as they pro.
Moreover, it has always been un
derstood ?n this office Hint there are
;i number of men willing r.nu anxi
ous to accept such r. position, ana
uni: Doing tne case it would not ap
pear sell' evident that no injustice
is being done the miners in there not
havng a recorder appointed.
The Industrial Worker has infor
mation, already published, to .tlir»
T'ffect that John l>. Flanigan, com
missioner at Council made the trip
over to Dime with a view of rc;>ort
ipg conditions.
We can readily underttar.d that
this was a v>ry d .l'aate nii.,-!on in
deed for the line -onidtive natur; d
Mr. Flanigan, He had in effect to
d icide whether or - I i1 w< re judi
cious to lop olT i; ot
hi i office to the c:,. t i t.e Dime
Creek and Koyuk perqr.br to.-, which
w i'll regard to the iucrea: ad a.ctivit
in that region is no mean sum. Ii
requires a Spartan nature to place
aside the temptation cf filthy lucre
or the instinctive and very natural
human tendency to he affected by
the financial aspect of the cate from
a personal point of view, but we
have no doubt that Mr. Flanigan
will rise superior to mntor’al per
sonal considerations.
It would he unjust to criticize
Judge Tucker as many are doing for
delaying tho appointment of a re
corder in Dime creek district. I'n
familir.r with conditions, he has
taken the careful way and sent Mr.
Flanigan to report upon the camp.
If tho need is reported as urgent,
doubtless th*e District Judge will get
buoy.
However, this paper als- believes
that the miners cf the Dimo creek
district are the best judges of the
actual conditions which prevail. A
visitor on the ground In r. new
camp, os Mr. Flanigan will be, may
expect a second Nome. He will lina
a wilderness with a few holes; The
development of any country is slow
and cannot be judged by the fact
that many find little encouragement
and few discover pay. In fact that
is tho general rule in all mining
camps, and the tendency is to judge
by the many who have got no re
sults, and to docry those who have
found satisfactory prospects.
The men now in Dime creek are
-practical men; as communicated to
the Industrial • Wprjtor there is a
tendency to spread out and prospect
other crooks. - The stapler and more
convenient are made tho means of
recording claims, the less liability
is there for tangled titles and dis
puted claims.
The assurance of protection which
satisfactory record arrangements af
ford the average prospector la one
matter which redounds not a little
to the development of a camp. The
little conveniences of life such as a
post office, a record office and the
like add not a little' to the confident
development of the resources of any
district.
This has boon always recognized
as an essential in every mining
camp, and Dime is no exception.
It is not a fortunate stato of af
fairs that men should in ordor to
avoid the expensive trip to Council
be compelled to re-stake and re
locate the claims timo after time
whon the limits expire, and thus
avoid if not the letter, yet the spirit
of the mining laws.
It is roported that the receipts of
the Council precinct are small
enough now for any commissioner
and altogether too small to bo divid
ed. From the ’dewpoint of- an of
ficial only who considers the public
serving his convenience, and not his
duty being to serve the public, that
argument can stand. It is not one
that can possibly be used in opening
up a new country, for it loaves
Council no worse off than before
the activities which have arisen in
the Koyuk country and which now
cry for the appointment of a Re
corder.
The industrial Worker has re
ceived a dozen communications from
miners who state the need for
Recorder to be appointed. Those
letters contained many argument-.
Tor such an appointment. Up to this
'none has been put forward which
would show that the appointment
is undesirabe.
It has been hinted that all kinds
of strings are being pulled by var
ious claimants for the office. That
is quite possible. But that 'is not
the point. The point is. here is a
now camp developing into consider
able importance opening up a new
country bound to grow in import
ance sooner or later, already pro
id active of an independent gold out
out. the center of active mining ope
I rations, the scene of investment for
thousands of dollars and the labor
j i l' hundreds, a camp which contri
buted in no small degree to tfie ac
tivity of Nome as a distributing
point last fall when thousands worm
of merchandise, material and ma
chinery, were bought and shipped to
the Koyuk—here is a camp without
unj proper recording office for the
convenience of those miners who at
great risk to themseves, at great
< xpense and enormous labor ana
much sacrifice are building the fu
ture for a country that will maue
for tho territory’s future prosperity
in no small degree, but where no
such small 'conveniences as they ask
for are easily accorded them.
Alaska’s whole importance at the
present time has developed absolute
ly and wholly upon such prospectors
as a arc making a camp in the Ko
yuk. It is the Btampeder and the
prospector who take all the chances
who opened up Nome, Fairbanks,
Ruby, the Iditarod. TUoy have
made Alaska a household word
throughout the United States and
one of the most Important adjuncts
of the government's administration.
The government certainty owes it
to such, men that their needs be
satisfied, especially when they are
so easily and inexpensively and
simply satisfied as in the case of a
resident recorder in the Koy^k coun
try.
Only the other day France re
spectfully celebrated the death of
Rouget De Lisle whh died on Febru
ary 14, 1934. Rouget De Lisle is
the reputed autor of the Marseil
laise.
The Marsoiilalse Is ,one -of ‘ thW
great musical compositions which
are able to stir the souls of men.
Why the souls of men should be
stirred by music, most of all by mar
tial music Is not completely ex
plained,* although modern psycholo
gists approaching this as other ques
tions In a scientific manner are ra
pidly discovering the cause oit these
emotional effects witnessable from
music and other things.
The Marseillaise has doubtless
been greatly credited with a good
deal more than It stands responsible
for. That it steadied a shaking
nerve now and then by stirring the
emotional - Impulses of human be
ings so that they cared noffcipg ot
the consequences of thoir acts is true
only to a certain extent. It ills yea
little part ip the French revolution
The revolution was fought under;
the Carmagnole or of tia Ira or
similarly catchy strains set to words
'more or less doggerel.
After the revolution and after
Napoleon, it became merely a me
mory and a stimulant of the Ima
gination. It stirred the souls ot
Frenchmen much as the Star
Spangled Banner might stir the
souls of Americans because identi
fied with their native land and it3
struggle for national Identity
As a hymn for the libertarians of
later ages it has been a hopeless
failure. It has nothing proletarian
about It. Its cadence, rhythm and
impulse is essentially bourgeois.
For rightly enough It awakenc the
bourgeoisie to a sense of their own
predominance over the feudalism
that they overthrew. Its radicalism
is only* the Revolutionary cloak of a1
bourgeois trying to rid Itself of the
shackles of feudal supremacy, ana
really It was that that Ronget de I
Lisle celebrated In song and in his
great chant.
dongs do not make revolutions
Revolutions make songs. They In
spire the poet and the musician.
The waves of emotion that are stir
red by the revolutionary impulse
play In harmonic sympathy upon the
poetic and musical chords of human
beings. Yet wo doubt whether any
revolution Is complete which lacks
its music. The Marseillaise marks
the complete overthrow of feudal
ism. It Is the paen of a trumphant
class struggle springing spontane
ously from emotions roused, to deeds
of glory even though their bright
ness' is darkened by the Shadow,
j Someone has commented upon
I the tact that the American war of
independence has no Marsoilliast.
i But in the strict sense of thewvosd
-that was not a revolution. I.

more a name than a reality. Thai
same economic Bystem still pre
vailed in tho United States after
the war of independence, same main
principles of common law, the same
Anglo-Saxon code — in each oft tho
different states. The system of eco
nomics, representative government,
Jurisprudence were not changed in
any revolutionary sense.
In France it was quite different.
Before the revolution the Third
Estate was a negligible factor. The
King, the nobles and the ecclesiastics
of high degree were the feudal cen
ters to power" and government. After
the rqvohrtlPh there was no king,
no nobility and the eccleelatlcai
power was spiritual not temporal
where it still manifested .any vital
ity. Serfdom, the keynote of the
feudalists system, was abolished
^nd the feudal laws destroyed never
to be enjoyed again
