For some reason or another it is imposible to keep
some politicians from breaking away from regular
parties. They know and all the world knows that party
government is the best system of government devised by
the passing ages. It would, indeed, be impossible to make
democratic government effective without parties. In
France up to a few years ago dis-satisfied members tin*
chamber of deputies were constantly breaking away from
the main parties and causing cabinets to fall until France
and its government became a laughing stock throughout
Europe. In great Britain governments became stable be
cause third parties were frowned upon and in the I nited
States the law that left a President in power for four
years whether he had a majority in congress or not also
conduced to stability, especially as his cabinet was nam
ed by himself. Of course, all nations have several parties
but the ones which have some fixed policy are justifiable;!
The ones that merely aim at smashing another without
having any definite platform of their own is like the
eleventh man in the jury. Such was the party started by
Theodore Roosevelt and such were the local cliques which
adhered to Roosevelt as long as they thought the Progres
sives had a chance to win. There is always something
wrong with the man who thinks that the millions ol peo
ple forming a party must he wrong because they cannot
see eve to eve with himself.

So, there is a shortage of labor for the railroad build
ing in Alaska now. Some time ago everything possible
was done to keep people out and now the greatest difficulty
will probably be experienced in getting people in. When
the White Pass R. R. was being built the plan was adopt-*
ed of keeping men working whether they were needed at
the time or not because it was well known that a shortage
might occur at any time if men were let go. Of course,
there was the difficultv here of lack of 1'umU for a time,
it was impossible to keep even the necessary men on the
payroll, but it will be too bad if the construction of the
road must be delayed by lack of men when the money is
available. _

Homestead.
A trad in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.

foreign relations and army under the,
control of Russia. Menshikov ex*
presseil his approval of this idea. In1
addition he said:
“The question arises as to whether
it is not now the very time to deonej
concretely the future autononw of
Poland by way of an internation
al agreement between Russia and the
Allies Admitting that a formal act
of this nature woidd be somewhat be
lated. it would stiil be very opportune
iu t l ow.
* j he resurrection of Poland is pos
sible only after the recomjuesi of all
the Polish lands, ut:d it would be most
profitable just now for us to make it
clear that our purpose in reconquest
is noe which all can understand and
with which all could sympathize.
“A guarantee on the part of the;
Powers allied w ith us would not only
ally the anxiety of the Poles and de
liver them from a state of torturing
uncertainty, but it would relieve our
own minds and those of our allies.
One part, at least, of the future re
lations between Russia and the West
would he thoroughly elucidated.”
In concluding his article, which has
caused widespread comment and con-1
jecture, the publicist declared that |
while this step should have been taken
long ago it is not too late now.
He insists that it is particularly
important that both Allies and neu
jrals should be reassured in regards
to Russia’s aims and that it should
be made clear that she is lighting a
war of liberation of small peoples, not
one of oppression.
