BATTLE HAL'." WON
The passage by thu senate of the
United States of Senator Nelson's bill,
giving this district an elective delegate
in congre-s, practically insures that bill
a place on l he statute books and A!aska
representation at the national capital.
While that is not what Alaska has been
asking for, except as a means to an end,
it is a long step in the right direction.
With a delegate at Washington, having
a voice on the floor of congress, bearing
credentials and Instructions from the
people, the case for the extension of
American principles of government to
Alaska can be presented In such a w vy
that It must and will prevail. It will
be presented in such a way that the
people of the nation will hear it and
they will compel their senators and
representatives to heed it.
There is no doubt out Alaskans will
make use of the opportunity afforded
them by the passage of ihis bill. They
will send to Washington a man who
will subordinate every other considera
tion to that of securing for bis country
men a recognition of their right to
make a-d execute their own laws. In
only that way can they show that they
arc deserving of American citizenship.
SAIWEFORD S POSOTOH
The Juneau Transcript sajj:
"A. P. Swinetord is in Washington
tel'ing the members of congress that
Alaska does not want a delegate in con
gress but territorial government. If
we fail to get a delegate charge it up
to A. P. S."
The Transcript can be truthfully and
effectively answered in five words: Its
statement is not true.
Gov. Swineford said positively upon
his arrival at Washington: "Of course
I will not oppose a delegate in con
gress." He said, however, with truth,
that Alaska is asking for and entitled
to a territorial form of government
with which a delegate in congress goes
as an incident and as a matter of course.
The position is logical, right and rep
resentative of Alask v We must not
place ourselves in position so that con
gressmen, after they shall have given
us a delegate in congress, can say,
"You've gotten what you want, now do
not trouble us any more." We must
demand that to which we are entitled
and not be satisfied with less.
John Riplinger, the present city con
troller of Seattle, has been agreed upon,
it is said, to be the republican nom
inee for mayor. There are other can
didates but it is thought Mr. Riplinger
has the call on the nomination If he
will tike it. Mr. Riplinger is both
capable and clean. The race between
him and Judge Moore, who will be the
mu licipal ownership, labor party and
democratic nominee, will be interest

GUARD I!
The Eye Sli?ol 1 Receive
Every Consideration
The eye Is the most sensitive organ
ia the human anatomy, and sight the
most useful of the senses. To neglect
the eye is to endure pain and misery
and to court impaired vision and even
total blindness. The north winds, fill
ed with particles of drifting snow and
ice, and the reflections from sun-kissed
mountaies and wind-swept snow fields,
make a northern winter a time when
every precaution should be taken to
guard the eye. Shou'd nature,
through pain or otherwise, warn you
of approaching danger, by all means
heed the warning. We te9t the eye
free of charge and furnish glasses,
ground to the point of perfection, to fit
the need disclosed by science. Our
prices are reasonable.
Our stock of watches, clocks, glass
ware, silverware, souvenirs, novelties
