OUR DUTY TO RUSSIA.
The peace treaty between the I. \V. W. government of
Russia and Germany is not final. The map of Russia, if
it is changed, will be changed at the world peace confer
ence which shall conclude the great war. Just now it is
only human to consign Russia to perdition because she in
sanely and wickedly brought her fate upon herself.
\merieans are already indulging in expressions of con
tempt for her treachery, but on sober second thought, they
will not say Russia, having made her bed, must lie in it.
We can sa,' that to the Bolsheviki, but not to Russia as a
nation.
Democracv must save Russia for democracy, and it is
important, now that we are strongly inclined to show our
bitter resentment, to remember what President Wilson
said wh n he stated that our aims were the world’s aims,
it included this:
"ri he evacuation of all Russian territory and such a
; ttlei. ,*nt of ail questions affecting Russia as will secure
the best and freest co-operation of the nations of the
world in obtaining for her an unhampered and .unembar
rassed oppoitunity for the independent determination of
her own political development and national policy and as
sure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free na
tions under institutions of her own choosing, and more
than a welcome assistance of every kind that she may need
and mav herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia
hy her sister nations in the months to come will he the
%
acid test of 'heir good will, of their comprehension of her
needs as distinguished from their own interests and of
their intelligent and unselfish sympathy.”
Inconformity with the principle here laid down,
America, in common with the other democracies, must
show Germany that no separate peace she can make will
i>e permitted to stand or will be accepted in place of the
world peace outlined by America, as spokesman for the
Allies. Wl.de demagogues who rode into power on the
revolution?.rv wave sacrificed their countrv by letting
Germany in, and while they have earned the undying con
tempt of the civilized world by their monumental treach
ery, all the people of Russia must not be made to suffer
♦or centuries. The world peace means a free Russia as
well as a free France and a free Belgium.
NOT ON PARTY GROUNDS.
I>v the last election on March 5th, in New 5 ork City,
the four Democrats representing Democratic districts,
,- ere elected to Congress. This gives the Democrats a
majority of one in the lower house. It is a nominal—a
sort of theoretical majority— for party politics has no
place this year in congress, and it can have no place. Of
course, congressmen are always looking out to keep up
their fences, and particularly in a session immediately
preceding the campaign for re-election, but this year
candidates for congress are not going to stump their dis
tricts waving party banners, and they are not going to be
voted for on party grounds. No Republican and no Dem
ocrat will be able to tell the dear people what his party
did and what the other party failed to do.
Candidates for congress, north of the Ohio river, to
be voted for in November, are going to be judged by the
quality of their Americanism and nothing else. This is
one of the years when a majority of one or of a hundred
does not count. It is reasonablv certain that no candidate
concerning whose Americanism there is the* least doubt
will be elected to represent the people in congress.

REGISTERING GERMANS.
Alien enemies, Germans, are registering in Seward as
in other places in Alaska. Those who must registei uie
a:l natives, denizens or subjects of the German Empire or
i he Imperial German government, “being males of the age
t f fourteen years or upwards who are within Alaska and
not actually naturalized as American citizens.” A Ger
man is compelled to register because rated as an alien
enemy, even though he has-declared his intention of be
coming a citizen by taking out his first naturalization pa
pers, or if he has been partly or completely naturalized in
any country other* than the United States. Naturaliza
tion of alien enemies cannot be completed during the war.
The registering officer in Seward is Postmaster Root.
Alien enemies must register by next Saturday night at 8
o’clock or suffer penalty of arrest and internment when
,;t out.

They are coming back North by the dozens nowadays.
Every steamer sailing from Seattle has it’s quota aboard
for Seward, those who have been out enjoying themselves.
But when the gaiety is over—they return to the good old
d lys up North.
