ALASKA DISGRACED
Some of the legislators elected in Alaska are the greatest detriment to
the territory.
In the \ aide' Miner appears a telegram Irorn Fairbanks, dated November
7. which quotes W ickersham as saying that at the next session of congress
a bill will be passed placing Vlaska under the government of a federal com
mission. W hether this telegram is true or not cannot be told. Placing Alaska
under such a government would be the most frightful political disaster that
could befall the people of the territory, but it must be regretfully admitted
that in a large measure the people of Alaska themselves will be responsible
if such an insult is delivered.
The proposal to establish such a commission undoubtedly is due to the !
tact that we have elected as legislators many men who were absolutely un- :
fitted for the position. Not only did we elect incompetent and unworthy mem- .
hers to the last legislature but we have done probably worse this time. We,
seem to be incapable of electing anyone except some wire-pulling ignoramus |
who depends for votes on attaching himself like a tail to the rump of Wicker- |
sham. Many of the men elected would be untit to sit as members of a village
council and unfortunately we have enough socialists and malcontents gener
ally in the territory to enable these Wicktails to pose as representativs titi
zens, bless the mark!
Whatever one might think of Wickersham personally or as a representa
tive it cannot be hidden that he owes his present election to the support of the
socialists and to the unspeakable I. W . WVs who, it is made evident by their
rag and organization at Nome, are affiliated with them.
There is no blame to Wickersham because he got these votes. It shows
him to be all the better politician but when we find his tails without the
courage of declaring themselves to be socialists sneaking and wagging be
hind him to foist themselves on the people in spite of their incompetence and
ignorance it almost makes a man wish that we were governed by carpet
baggers.
The last legislature and this can boast of having squaw-men and blind
piggers, or at least, one of each as members. It is hard to mention these
tacts but it is better now to draw attention to them than to let our territory
continue to be despised at Washington and threatened by a commission form
of government. We are not to blame but some of our people are so easily It'd
by the false tongues of the wire-pullers that a lesson is needed.
These so-called politicians call themselves democrats when a democratic
administration is in power but they tight against the regular democratic can
didate who had the endorsement of the great and good president of the Tinted
States himself. If they called themselves what they were no one could object
but a man cannot be a democrat or a republican and vote against his party
without stabbing that party in the back.
And so we come to be legislated for by men who by their very duplicity
prove themselves to be unworthy of trust. Many of the members of the legis
lature are good men and many of them have come out straight for their princi
ples but Alaskans must get cured of the habit of electing worthless nincom
poops who will adopt any tactics to get a few dollars from the government
to make up for their failure to make a living by work for which they are
better fitted.
HOW PRISONERS
ARE TREATED
_
AUSTRIANS BOYCOTT BRITISH
AND FRENCH TOBACCOS
AND GOODS.
VENICE, Nov. 19.—Through the ef
forts of the Red Cross Society, some
twenty thousand letters and post
cards from Austro-Hungarian war
prisoners in Russia and Servia, have
already been delivered to their rela
tives and friends at home. The corres
pondence from both countries comes
through Rumania. The letters, of
course, are read by the official censors
in the country where they are written.
The Austrian papers admit that the
correspondence on the whole gives the
impression that the prisoners are be
ing well treated. In Russia the wound
ed receive medical attention, and a
grand-duke visited them in a hospital
at Moscow. Nearly all the unwounded
and those who have recovered from
their injuries are being sent to Omsk
in Siberia. It is thought that later
they may be put to work in the mines,
but nothing definite has been heard
as to this. c
For special benefit of the middle
class of unemployed in Vienna, the
Austrian Women’s Franchise Commit
tee have organized “Citizens’ War
Dinners.” A substantial meal of two
courses, nicely prepared and served,
is supplied for forty hellers (eight
cents.) Dining rooms have been pro
vided at various centers where the
meal is served between noon and half
past one o’clock daily; or the food can
be taken home if desired, but persons
must bring their own dishes for the
purpose. Among the classes beneiitted
by this form of relief are musicians,
artists, engineers, teachers, commer
cial clerks and shop assistants of both
sexes.
Austrian smokers will soon have to
be content with home-grown tobaccos,
since imports from abroad have been
entirely stopped and the stock of for
eign brands on hand in the govern
ment stores are not very large.
The Director of the Austrian Taba
krcgic is credited with saying that the
public have been showing their loyalty
by rejecting all tobaccos, cigars and
cigarettes manufactured in England
or France. Both there and in Budapest
the tailors’ association met and sol
emnly pledged themselves not to
make up any English cloth.
Several weeks later than usual the
Vienna theatres have begun to open
their doors, and most of them are now
giving more or less regular perform
ances. But the two court stages—the

burg Theatre—are still closed. This
is due to disputes over the salaries of
the performers. Fearing that the
season might not bo very successful
and presumably anxious to spare the
Emperors’ private purse from any
great losses, the Court Chamberlain’s
Department tried to reduce the scale
of salaries paid to the better classes
of performers. It was proposed to fix
the maximum renumeration of the
chief actors and singers at eighteen
thousand crowns a year ($3,600), and
the minimum at seven thousand two
hundred crows ($1,440.) No attempt
was made to reduce the wages paid to
the chorus girls and supers, and stage
mechanics and other employes.
The court officials argued that their
proposal was quite fair, as it was onl>
intended to give four performances a
week. But two or three of the highly
paid artistes offered such determined
opposition to accepting any reduction
in their salaries that it was found im
possible to re-open either opera or
theatre. The quarrel at last became
extremely acrimonious, and the names
of the singers who were standing out
for their regular high salaries were
freely mentioned in the papers. At
last it was stated that they had yield
ed to the representations of the minor
actors and stage employes, who were
threatened with starvation, and agie
ed to accept the lower scale of re
numeration. But so far neither Opei.i
nor Burg Theatre has re-opened.
FLEEING BELGIAN COUPLE
MARRY IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, Nov. 17.—Horrible as
the experiences of the refugees from
Louvain, Malines, Antwerp and Os
tend have been, romance has not been
entirely lost in the wave of agony and
sorrow which the war has brought to
English shores. Dulwich was the
scene of a wedding two days after the
fall of Ostend which joined the
fortunes of two luckless wanderers
who fled for two weeks before the on
coming Germans.
When Brussels was about to be tak
en the bride became separated from
her father and mother just on the eve
of her marriage. The entrance of the
Germans upset all wedding plans, but
the young girl found her finance a
few days later among the refugees at
Malines. They drifted with friends in
to Antwerp and finally found their
way to England. Not being able to
communicate with her parents, the
young w'oman decided to marry even
if her relatives could not be found to
attend the wedding. The Mayor and
Mayoress of Camberwell honored ;he
young couple with their presence at
the wedding and the wedding guests
were other refugees who had tfliarod
the hardships of the contracting part
ies in their flight from Belgium.
