NOME, ALASKA, DEC. 11, 1916...
Nome weather may be a trifle dis
agreeable just now but Hie here is
pleasanter doubtless than ulmost uuy
Vvuere ill uuiope.
The English love of horses Is shown
by the maintenance of the biue cross
fund for "the silent sufferers of the
war." It aids horses irrespective of
nationality.
Will Herr \ on Mackensen and Herr
Von Falkenhayne next take their co
horts on a Joint to Solomka, or will
they uen up tor the wimer? -Not the
latter surely.
The Eagle masquerade gave every
body plenty to talk about yesterday.
Many opinions always exist ubout
the doings at such affairs and that
13 why everybody takes an interest.
Borne things will be discussed, laughed
over or cried about for weeks.
Some of the local democrats see in
the Bryan efforts to turn hi3 party
Into a prohibition party by 1920 the
signs of victory with William Jen
nings himself a3 the candidate. Good
night—to the democratic party. Bry
an can never lead any party to vic
tory.
During the year of 1915 Russia used
gold and silver to the value of over
two million and half dollars for medals
and decorations. These baubles most
ly went to the aristocrats who need
such things badly. That sum of
money would ulso buy things the
peasants need.
Dancing at a public masked ball is
confessedly a leap Into the dark. But
as all take the leap together and us
the light makes everything known
after a time no serious harm should
follow. One dances with u3sumed
characters only and they cease to
exist when the masques are taken off.
In Vienna and Lower Austria
guests must bring there own bread —
If they have any. The Italian wheat
crop wus large, about five million
tons, but the Austrlun3 huve bpen
unable to get any of it It. The Rou
manian wheat, however, Is better
than tlie Italian and the Austrians
are doubtless grinding it now for
flour.
There Is a fine chance for some
body to make a reputation for wis
dom by coming out with a statement
that he does not know how to end
the war. He can make it very strong
by saying that If he were kaiser he
would not know what to do next, and
If he were Lloyd-George he would be
at his wits' end.
There Is no question that the Eu
ropean war Is working groat changes
in the minds of people as to their
political and economic rights. Those
who are bearing the brunt of the but
tle both at the front and at home
uro getting an Insight Into the funda
mentals. That a few should have all
the myr&id luxuries of modern life
doesn't seem Just to a man who has
tougbt toe iu units ia Uui trangheg
a perfect equality with hl3 fellow
soldiers. The aristocrat covered with
mud and blood seems no whit dif
ferent from his tenant who wears ihe
same uniform and is in the same pie
uicament. That the aristocrat shall
return home at the end of the war
to enjoy his broad acre3 in absolute
idleness and that bis tenant shall re
turn to what amounts to at least
half slavery does not seem to he at
all probable.
England Is the country of which
we have the most Intimate knowledge
as to chunges in sentiment cuused by
the war. There, almost from the com
mencement of hostilities, social life
began to be made over. The rich,
who hud been idle and useless in time
of peace, became imbued with a de
sire to do something helpful. Prac
tically every able bodied mala aris
tocrat not employed by the govern
ment went into either the army or
navy. The women of the idle rich
ceased all frivolities during the day
lime at any rate and became busy
with some form of useful endeavor.
And such forms of social life as per
sisted in the evening were toned down
to quiet parties of such sobriety that
even an anarchist could find little in
them to criticise.
How fur-reaching will be the effects
of these changed conditions not only
on the minds and hearts of the great
body fo Englishmen but on the privi
leged classes themselves It is impos
sible to say. But that the outcome
will be almost i evolutionary there is
little doubt. Already we learn that
the British government has been
turned over almost entirely to the
labor party. All the underlying rea
sons for this are of course not known
out3ide of England but there seems to
have been very little protest on the
part of the hereditary ruling class.
Jlost likely the aristocrats are wisely
bending to the wind. They would
hardly let go of their prlveleges ex
cept under virtual ^Compulsion and
signs are not lacking in the British
prints that a social revolution is in
progress.
To illustrate, let us refer to a let
ter written from the French front by
Lord Northclifl'e to one of his papers.
Tlie London Times: "They were dis
cussing a newspaper article outlining
a project for the settling of soldiers
on land In the dominions after the
war. 'Many will go to Canada; some
to Australia, I ware 3ay,’ said one
man, but 1 am one of those who mean
to have a little bit of Blighty (Eng
land) for myself. e\V see enuogh in
FrEance to know that a man and
his family can manage on a bit of
land for themselves and live well
on It.'
"I remember a similar conversation
a year ago close to Vpres, when a
young sergeant who had been a game
keeper at home and a working man
conservative, observed, 'The men In
the dug-out3 talk of a good many
subjects, but there Is one on which
they are all agreed. That la the land
question. They are not going back
as laborers, or as tenants, but as
owners. Lots of them have used
their eyes and learned mtteb about
small farming here.’

"Just as Grant's soldiers, the' grand
army of the republic, dominated tho
elections for a quarter of a century,
so will the men 1 have seen in ‘.he
trenches and ambulances come home
and demand by their votes tho re
gards of a very chans u England—<
oa England they will fashion and

ns much n surprise to the present
owners of capital and leaders of labor
as It may be to the owners of the
land.”
PROTECTING THE BEAR.
Protective law in the interests of
the boar uppears to have contributed
so greatly to bruin's welfare as to
make him a nuisance, and in some
districts a menace to human life.
At the Yellowstone National park
the government protects all wild life.
No firearms arc p rmitted in the park
and the bears have multiplied so rap
idly under this paternal treat
that they are now a danger to be
reckoned with. Ordinarily disposed
to be peaceable, there have been ir>
quent instances in which they have
attacked tourists, and one instance
in recent weeks In which human life
was taken.
Alaska newspaper are complaining
of the Increase of brown bears in
thnt territory under protective law,
. while the black bear, which is com
paratively harm! ss is allowed to he
shot on sight.
The Valdez Minor says the brown
bear is aa lovable as a locoed long
horn, but not more so. Its first in
clination upon meeting a prospector
or lone musher Is to take him apart.
This tendency b ing well known, the
first impulse of a mustier who meets
a brown bear is to run, and his soc.
ond impulse is to run faster.
it is the Alaska idea that the brown
bear needs no protection other than
that he is able to furnish in his own
behalf. There Is demand that pro
tective law be repealed and that a
bounty be offered for his extermina
tion.
Evidently federal game regulations
need some revision. Protection to
game Is desirable, but when the game
begins to charge and chase its pro
tector It Is time to revise the sched
ules.—P. I.
