NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 20, 1917.
A bone dry law? Why it means
as ury as a bone alter it has bleached
in the sun tor a wtn.er and summer.
Oregon hail a prohibition law which
went into euect a year ago but it was
made bone ary by rigorous enact
mints against shipments into the
state, and otherwise, in the recent
election. Bone dry means that there
iu no iawiui way to get Intoxicants
to unnk.
W G. Lee, head of the Brotherhood
of Kailway raiumen, told the inter
siate commeice committee of the
house yesteiuay that lie wished to
God "he leaders had let She
men strike last tall instead of call
ing it olf because of the iil-advised
passage of the Adamson law. The
men seem entitled to consider them
selves bunkoed, whatever the decis
ion of the supreme court may be as
to the constitutionality of that law.
No indeed Villa i3 not overthrown
yet. i!c la even now in Chihuahua,
and winning nearly every battle he
fights. Nor will he be overcome until
the wi^ in Europe ends and one oi
■he belhgcrenls sends troops over to
Set the Mexican house In order. Then
the United Btales will wake up und
fird itself engaged in a real war to
lutiinlain the foolish principle laid
noun in the Monroe doctrine. If the
w;.r Juris long enough we may by that
time possibly have army und navy
tutHt'enl to defend New York for a
lew days. Oh, well, life is Cull of
ti.sappoinlinen.s and lost chances.
Now comes into the calcium’s pin re
one Herman E. Whipple of Boston
wnt> will perform before the leak
investiguKis on the persons of migh'y
moneyed magnates. If he can prove
l’.eipont Moigan, Otto Kuhn and Van
derlip black conspirators, und can
cotisign Tumulty, Bolling und Mr
A'loo to the depths of Ignominy, such
as would be their Just deserts if *hey
hu’e been traitors to the president’s
trust, he cun 3ee before him a bright
fuiure which includes the governor
ship of Massachusetts, a senatorial
toga, and u race for the presidential
chair.
In Just such a wav Mr. Hughes
slatted to climb the Ldder. Go it,
Whipple, you have a chance in a
million!

the president. Other naval surgeons
nii'st have done more, and be more
deserving of promotion than he. But
If the president wants to lift him
over the heads of some three hun
dicd of his. rcilows to the rank of
roar admiral there are probably few
senators lo be tound who would stand
up and say nay. For each senator
w-ant» something tor bis friends and
the president u tht man to hand out
these favors. You smutch my buck
and I'll scratch yours. Buosevelt said
hii.iccr.u i cons.sts of a series of
compromises. He might have said
...as lue essence of politics is swup
ping. Of course With the proletariat
plugging along at their work and pay
ing the bills.
I'rooably the contents of that let
ter from Bristol bay to the clerk of
the court at Valdez is of more interest
io the people of Alaska as a whole
today than an> news that ever piss
ed through vhe mails within the con
lines of th.a territory. The returns
therein may favor Sulzer, or Wicker -
si e til or be practically u tie. The te
>\er in that section could not possi
bly be forecast with nay degree of
exactness. io illustrate, two precincts
cut Kidiak way were reported over
a momh ago. One went almost five
to me for Wickersham and the other
bel t almost mo to one tor Sulzer.
The voters were the same kind of
people with the same interests. Orly
it chui.ce.d one place hud a strong
\V ekeirhum leader, and the other
powerful in.iu.ncts on the s.de of f>ul
zed. 1 his letter which should reach
Valdez touay may settle the delegate
contest me way or tho other or it may
leave it sull on the lap of the gods.
One thing is certaiii-everybody will
e glad to get it over with, whoever
is to win.
The government of the United
Slaves is tiding hard to keep out of
politics. it apparently is hoping to
succeed in tins seemingly impossible
tusk by turning much of its business
over to commissions. The last de
cade has seen a heavy increase in
the number of commissions created
to handle special work of the gov
ernment, and these commissions have
made valiant effort to evade being
swayed by political influences uni in
many cases have succeeded.
Although the members of the vari
ous commissions have been political
appointees, the acts of congress cre
ating tiitie bodies have taken the
fushion of specifying that some of
me pel soil.i.l s.iull be of one political
denomination and some of another,
me enacvinents, however, have not
gone so far us to arrange so that the
party in control of the appointive
• v. r s.iull nov have a majority of
the members of the various commis
tflons.

The interstate commerce cornmis-1
slon is the oldest and largest regu- 1
lative commission. It wields a tre
mendous imlucncc on the business of
the country by bossing the railroads
und shippers. It is a fact that some
of the private secretaries of the com
missioners are of opposite suglitical
faith to their employers, ami the

not In accord with the administration.,
The same is true of the federal re-1
serve board, Uncle Sum's safety valve
on the finances of the country.
The federal farm loan board, tht
newest big government commission,
is following tlie same course. Tin
employes are hired without regard to
political faith und politics are kept
out of the business operations of thu
body.
The general feeling is that politics
and eUiocnt bus.ness do not mix ui 1
Washing.on, and this feeling njbgiou
.ng. The spoils system of a genera
tion . und less, pgo seems to bo pass
ing entirely and it is wol^rhut il
