A LU TED EDITORIAL
Owing to the limited space in our little paper it is,
not often we republish editorials from other papers but
in a recent issue of the Seattle Star there appeared the
following which this paper has been requested to re
print. Ordinarily it would have been run in another col
umn but there is so much “meat ‘ in it that the more we
read it the better we like it,
A LESSON WRITTEN IN BLOOD

In Russia, bitter class warfare rages—peasants against politicians, I
Many peasants are executed; rebellion boils among them.
Americans should be interested in the reason for the trouble.
Boiled down, it is the determination of a “governing class” to
bend every citizens to its wall regardless of anything else.
We are rapidly getting a governing class in this nation.
Ruthless and power-drunk, it seeks to impose its edicts on every
citizen. Leagued with wealth, it tries to operate the nation for the
benefit of wealth. Its commands are enforced by hired cossacks. It
brooks no interference.
It demands "law observance” among the lowly and permits the
wildest debauchery of law by the mighty and powerful.
It shrieks at decent working men, fighting for better wages and
a chance to live, the idiotic charge that they are “bolsheviks” and
“communists.”
It jams the prisons with men and women, forces them to exist
under barbarous conditions and then is impotent to suggest remedies
when bloody riots occur.
There is only one governing class in this country—or should be.
It is composed of all of us, no one better than any other.
Let’s get back to first principles—government of the people, for
the people, by the people.
It’s either that—or what’s happening in Russia.
Well we see where Henry O’Malley, commissioner
of U. S. fisheries, got harpooned again the other day by
a well-known alleged Alaskan residing at Washington.
We can vision O’Malley’s grin and chuckle from here.
England’s poet-laureate has written a poem of 4,000
lines. God save the king, if he has to read it.
A letter to a Confederate soldier showed up in
Memphis 62 years after it was mailed. Which is about
right if it contained a bill for a war debt._

The industry of fur ranching is a
growing one in Alaska. A recent
list of licensed fur farms issued by
the Alaska Game Commission con- !
tains the names of 546 licenses.
Most of these hold licenses for
breeding foxes of various species
and mink but there are also a num
ber raising muskrat, beaver, mar
ten, lynx, rabbit, ermine and otter.
The foxes raised include blue,
silver, black, cross, red and white
foxes. The blue foxes are nearly
all ranched on islands, whereas the j
silvers, blacks, and whites, are
ranched in pens. Most of the mink
are pen raised but a few of them 1
are bred on island ranches. There
are nearly 200 of the small islands i
bordering on the coa*t of Alaska j
which are used for fox and ming j
ranching.

laughter. This time it is the big farce comedy

Come and enjoy the funny situations the two sim
ple fellows get into. Buffeted around in air and
