HOW WE COME OY HOME ROLE
The Juneau Ilecord, tor v. groping
for material for its progress-resisting
eoeij, undertakes by main strength to
force into its service a paragraph of the
Alaskan's relating to the Skagway del
egation's jource: to the republican
convention. The Alaskan a few days
ago told a story of how the Skagway
delegation wsu to bent on getting to the
oonvention that, outof It* own pocket, it
hired a special tug. The comment
of the Record is that "it is quite ap
parent that no one took enough Intereot
in the affair t j substantially assist in
the movement." bright, isn't it?
? Thii, however," it says, "is along
the lines adopted by most of the borne
rule agitators. They are loud in their
mouthing* telling how the government
should be run, but when it becomes
necessary to contribute in any substan
tial manner towards doing bo, they are
not on hand."
The Record devotos * half column of
th;* sort to the paragraph, concerning
a matter of which it admits it "has no di
rect knowledge," but ' giving tho Alas
kan oredit for what it writes about,"
Ac., ic.
It is this condition of befuddled ideas
befuddled logic, befuddled Americanism,
as well as befuddled English, on the
part of tl:e ant i -heme rulers that has
resulted In our rapid anproach toward
home rule.
CUE'S TERRITORIAL SILL WILL 00
The bill introduced by Delegate Cale
?'to create the territory of Alaska and
:o provide for the government of the
same" makes, as its iundatnontal pro
visions, tbe following:
A governor to be oppfinted by tho
president, bj and with the advice and
consent of the senate; n secretary to be
appointed in the iaoo way; a senate
consisting of seven members, and a
Douse of representatives consisting of
twenty-five members, to be elected by
the people; a supreme court, consisting
of a chief justice and four associate
justices, and tbe usual courts of inferior
jurisdiction; four district attorneys
four marshals and a surv?yor?general,
all elective.
The only limitations placcd upon tbe
legislative body is that it shall pats no
act inconsistent with the fedeial consti*
tution or with the chartcr of Alaska;
co law ' Intel fering with the primary
disposal of tbe soil"; no law t txing the
property of the United States, or tax
ing tbe lands or other property of noc
residents at a proportionately higher
rate than the lands or oihar property
of residents. Otherwise t!ie bill per
mits of complete control of local af
fairs.
This will do.
TO ASK NO DIRECT AID
Senator Piles' bill to ei courage the
holding of an Alaska-Yukon-Expo
sition at Seattle, Is clfimtd to be, and
probably is unique in that it contains
the provision that the nintiHgeaaent of
the exposition will not "a** or accept"
from the United St-?t-!B any loan of
funds for any of the purposes of said
exposition," and tbat it will not ?sk or
accept at this or any oiher future
session of congress "a-y appropriation
whatsoever," other th tn that provided
to enable the governmeat to make i*s
own exhibits. This at leos' ought to
result in a government exhibit of a
character that would be compensatory
for its lack of assistance by direc sub
scription or "loan." The bill ought to
appeal to congress on thesj grounds.
"l he cheerful phlioaopay of tbe
Haines Musher is shown in comment
in? oo the removal of the commission*
O'sbip from that bur;: "We don'inoed
a precinct anyway, for we are going to
bo good and not have to go before the
Judge."
THE CRICK IN WINTER
John Cone.
I like 'ol Mizzarddays line these,
Although Its froze- up tight
An' all earth's charms appear to be
Deep bnried from my sight.
When all the hills fur miles around,
Where poe an' hemlock grow,
Lie underneath a coverlet
Of white unci gligt'niog snow.
There is a quiet in the woods
An' on the river then,
Which can't be found at other times?
A rest that's good fur mec.
I like to wander 'neath the hills,
Purtecttd from the wind,
Jest where the ol' sun beats down
warm,
An' sorter fresh my mind
With droams of happy, bygone days,
Of swimming In the "bend,"
Of fishing on the Plck'rel Ground,
Or Bullhead Hole bepond,
The ol' ciae polo, the leaky bo?t,
Tne baler 'neath the seat;
The can of worms, the ol' straw bat.
The sleepy Summer heat.
I like tho Crick in Winter time,
Although so cold an' still;
There's pleasure in its frozen stretch
An' on each snow clad bill.
Fur one has time to Bet and dream
Beside the cracklitt' ?laze,
About the joys of times apast,
An'comln' Summer day?.
