WICKERSHAM'S HOME RULE BILL
The following timely and eminent
ly sensible editorial api>eared three
days ago in the Juneau Dispatch. It
should bo reprinted by every paper in
Alaska:
Delegate Wickersham made an im
portant election promise. This was
to work for a bill in congress creat
ing an inexpensive form of self-gov
ernment in Alaska, as recommended
by President Roosevelt. Telegraphic
dispatches yesterday indicate that
the representative elected by the peo
ple is making good. Unfortunately n
Alaska legislation can be taken up at
the present session of congress. For
this reason the territorial bill intro
duced in congress yesterday by Del
egate Wickersham will have to wait
until the next session of congress be
fore it can be acted upon. In the
meantime the press of Alaska should
exert every effort to demonstrate to
Congress the need of this legislation.
Ulve Alaskans their right as free
born American citizens and Alaska
will go ahead by leaps and bounds.
It will dispel the illusion that Alaska
is a wilderness, populated by a semi
civilized people. It will inspire the
people of Alaska to have a good form
<.f local government that some day
statehood may be conferred upon
her. Real friends of Alaska will sup
port the bill. Those who wish to
tuilk the territory for eastern stock
holders will oppose the measure.
THE SITKA TRAINING SCHOOL
Tho Sitka Training school hold its
annual graduation exercises at Sitka
on May 28. a class of throe graduatin
among tin-ill being Miss Fanny Pliil
!i|>s. sister of Henry Phillips, the
pp-ssuian of The Daily Alaskan. The
Sitka Training school is doing noble
work, a work that is too little heeded
or understood in the northern count
ry. The capability of many of the
graduates, however, is the best evi
dence of the sincerity and efficiency
of the work done by the faculty.
Taft has nominated Peter Overfleld
of Nome as judge of the Third judi
cial division. With Lyons and Over
field among his appointees President
Taft is showing that lie believes in
tlie justice of appointing Alaskans for
Alaska.
Judge Lyons talks like a man who
means what he says when he states
that he will tolerate no dictation
f xim his former political associates.
That being so he should prove per
fectly satisfactory as a judge.
Bill Bryan at last believing that he
has no chance to become president,
has announced himself willing to ac
cept a I'nited States Senatorship.
If indeed you will magnify your
selves against me and plead against
me my reproach. ? Job, Chap. 1 !?-">.
Home rule for Alaska.
JUST AS OF OLD.
1MISS you from my side this lonely
night
And feel that nothing new on earth la
true.
Old sweet pictures In the mellow light
Give to me the happy past? and you.
Just as of old.
T WISH that you would steal behind my
chaJr
And press your fingers to my tired eyes
And when, surprised. I found you laugh
ing there
You'd lay your dear head down, where
now none lies.
Just as of old.
VND as tho fire flickers on your hair
Till each bright tress was like a
?keln of gold
I'd give the world if smiling, restful there.
You'd whisper low. "J love you." as of
old.
Jut as of old.
