NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 17, 1917.
Ten thousand deer were killed in
Maine last year and only ten men
who were mistaken for deer. Maine
is a safer state than it used to be.
Representative Allan went on to the
legislature imbued with the Idea that
iuo senool question was of primal
importance. With that (loggedness for
wnich he is famous he tackled the
proposition and at once got strong
backing in all parts of the territory.
It is a conservative wager that his
persistance with the help of others
will result la a law and appro*,
tions of great benefit to every com
munity lu Alaska. More strength to
our doughty Scotty!
Apprently Russians nave achieved
in a few short days under stress of
war and an enemy pounding at the
gates what seemed almost impossible
of accomplishment in time of peace.
Although attempted! many times re
volt against the Romanoff sway and
the absolutism of the bureaucracy
has failed. No orgnaization or en
thusiasm among the lovers of liberty
seemed able to overcome the inertia
of the masses and the rock-Uke op
position of the army.
Thousands in Russia have willingly
given their lives for the cause of
freedom. Many other thousands have
sacrificed more than life Itself. They
have braved a convict’s fate and a
sentence terminating only with death.
But until this week such efforts
seemed to have been in^vain, though
doubtless every attempt has really
carried the movement for self gov
ernment one step nearer achievement.
Now the czar is a prisoner as are
the czarina and doubtless some others
who are considered powerful enemies
of democracy. About five hundred
have died in the fight for freedom
and probably the majority of those
who perished were supporters of the
ruler as against the people and many
such are better dead. Doubtless when
the facts arc all made known, it will
appear that some of royal blood,
some intriguers, and some harlots
whose influence was strong, ended
their careers shortly after the Ides of
March in this year of grace. But it
is not necessary to let the Imagina
tion go, for by a ltitle patient wal-t
ing all may be learned after a while.
But now that the revolution Is an
accomplished fact and democracy Is
in the saddle it is agreeable to let
the mind follow the spreading of the
tidings It doubtless went to the rest
of the world as it came to us, by

piecemeal. First, Just the bare an- j
nouncement that revolution was In '
progress pasecl the censor. Then more \
facts anil finally what is probably the j
essential truth.
The suspense of the first day’s I
struggle must have been fearful to !
the entente nations whose leaders i
could not but know that on the out- !
come of the uprising depended In
great ^iart the possibility of their
victory against the Germanic allies.
It Is more than likely that insigni
ficant peoples of the earth know more
today of the Petrograd uprising than
do the masses of Russians. The wires
have doubtless carried the news east
ward to centers of population, and
so far as Vladivostok. It will slowly
percolate to the remote sections and
seep into the placid mind of peas
ant bringing to him at first hardly
any message.
One section of the great empire j
will welcome the news with over
flowing hearts. In Siberia the thou
sands of men and women who have
been doomed to a living death will
doubtless fall to credit their sens
when they hear the glad tidings and
read the mesages of pardon to politi
cal offenders.
Russia seems to have undergone a
change that will have an historical
significance second only to tho great
war which made this triumph of
democracy possible. And probably
when the story is finally told this will
be only one of many great benefits
accruing to humanity. Already gov
ernment ownership or control, of util
ities, the uselessness of the idle rich,
the necessity of common effort for
a common end, and a score of such
heretofore vain preachments have
demonstrated. And tho end is not
yet.
BONUSES TO LABOR.
One feature of the past year in
the Industrial world was the extra
ordinary amount of money which was
distributed by employing concerns
to their employes in the ’erm of
bonuses, this being true oa.'ticularly
of the closing months o* the year,
especially around Christinas ■' mi a. A
recent compilation of stattsc o made
by a Chicago newspaper, baseu upon
newspaper accounts of th i bonuses
paid, concludes with the statement
that more than <,000,000 Arcer'can
workingmen received in ixcess of
$JOO,000,000 in the form of gifts or
bonuses, in addition to their regular
w'ages.
There is one thing to be noted in
this connection. In practically every
instance It was made distinctly to ap
prur that these ad Jit u payments
were not advances in wages and were
not to be construed in that sense
■tor as precedents to guverr future
actions. Out side of industrial, lines
it is noted that many business houses.
.. L l
in the cast particularly, wound up
the year by giving considerable bon
uses to their employes, an.l some have
been following the same system,
month by month, without altering
their nominal salary lists. In these
Instances notice Is given duly that the
bonus is not a permanent Increase In
salary, but to offset the cr hanced cost
of living, leaving the Inference that
should ‘.ho prices of commodities
come down the bonus will disappear.
In short, the bonus system seems to
nave been adopted generally to fore
stall conditions which may be ex
pected with the return of peace. It
is far easier to drop the payment of
bonuses than to reduce t\ages. Every
large employer believes that when
the war ends and peace conditions aro
restored he will be unable to pay as
much to his employes as ne Is paying
now and make profits.
