EDITORIAL PAGE
What shall it profit us If we
work twenty years for Home Rule
and then vote it away to "non-parti
san" opponent*?
t>ne good way to test the merits
of a candidate for the legislature is
to observe what crowd he is train
ing with If he is hacked by the
opponents of home rule, he is not
a safe man. because that crowd will
control him every time
The principles of Home Rule are
too sacred to be male the play
thing of politicians It is a religion
with Mask. ins We cannot afford
to alio* men to represent us who
arc tainted * it h the slightest sus
Ihat ?non-partisan combination*
of political elements have been
formed which recogniies anyone
who h.is opposed Home Rule, taints
all its members with the alloy of
suspicion Yon cannot serve God
and Mammon
Frank \V Thompson of Fish
Egg Island, is an independent can
didate for the legislature His man
agers have had his name inserted
on the Home Rule ticket by drop
ping out the name of l>r. l*awes of
Wrangell Such a proceeding does
not have the endorsement of the
Home Rule party. and members of
the leading party in Alaska will not
countenance such an act.
In the course of the contest it is
*ery probable that the name of Mr.
Thompson will appear on all of the
tickets. There is 110 legal way of
preventing him having as many
combinations on any ticket that he
desir?s lie max have tickets print
ed leaving off any name he wishes
and inserting his own Our voters
should remember this and read their
ti.ket carefull> The only bona fides
all Alaska ticket ap.iears at the
hesd of the editorial columns of the
]>ailv Alaskan Vote it that wav
;.nd be true to the principles of
Home Rule
Soni?> of the Alaska newspapers
??re still telling that old falsehood
that Wickersham advised non-parti
san conventions in Alaska and in
vited everybody, home ruler and
anti-home ruler alike, into It. That
is a falsehood pure and simple Mr
Wickersham advised getting the
best men in Alaska elected to the j
legislature regardless whether they
were democrats or republicans, it
being understood that none but be
lievers. in home rule could by any
possibility ever be dreamed of in
connection with membership in an
Alaskan legislature or ar. Alaskan
convent ion
They are even saying that l*an
Sutherland and Henry Koden are
running on the non-partisan ticket
in the Fourth district. So they
are, but not a single anti-home
ruler assisted in their nomination
and not a single anti-home ruler is
ou a ticket with them, and no man
who has ever fonght home rule will
ever run or be a party to the nom
ination of men like l>an Suther
land The non-partisan ticket in
the Fourth did not seat in their con
vention a jaft of opponents to home
rule, that was only done in the
FirM

The most interesting of all the
features of Alaska life and history
are the experiences of the discover
era of new camps and the manner In
which they have found the P*y
that afterward brought population
to new regions and brought about
the building of cities iu the wilder
ness The stories of the hardships
of men who go far from the haunts
of their kind and take the slim
chance of finding pay where it was
never found before would make
thrilling reading if written by some
person who had the real gift and
felt the real thing. People who
come later may undergo a certain
amount of difficulties and tell of
ihe extremities to which they were
reduced by the absence of sugar or
condensed milk from their outfits,
but they seldom pause to think of
those who "lived off the country"
and lived pretty slim at that. They
seldom remember what it is to be
away from one's kind for months
and maybe years at a time. They
never consider the fact that the men
who came first made it really easy
for them by comparison.
Many of us have packed our
blankets on our backs and climbed
the pass and lived on t<eans and
bacon, and slept on top of the snow,
and did many other things that old
l.ucullus might turn his nose up at.
but we have always had lots of the
company that is said to make Hades
tolerable, and we always had the
trail well marked and the way open
for retreat if retreat became neces
sary.
Some of the old discoverers are
still with us and will be for many
years, but a few have already gone
over the grt-at divide to the place
where the floors are said to be
quarts with the free gold visible all
over the naked eye. Only about a
year and a half ago the discoverer o
? he Copper mountain hit the last
long trail. As he left Seattle for
the hospital at San Francisco a
small knot of old timers stood by.
Every man present but himself knet
that death was upon him. but they
only bid him au revoir, and he pass
ed away as quietly as if he had
only been an ordinary individual
who had never given a thing to the
world
Fritz Miller, the discoverer of At
Min. did not long survive to enjoy
ihe fruits of his find. Others who
have made discoveries of a ktnd not
so well defined nor of the same
original nature have also gone, but
the greater number are still left to
enjoy the product of their pluck
and endurance. Such men ought to
live forever ?Nome Nugget

Editor of the Alaskan:
I have talked with prominent
cititens of all the parties, and they
discourage the idea of the side is
sue of a presidential box, rotten up
by the enemies of Home Rule, to
stir up strife among the different
parties In the ranks of this noble
cause, the freedom of Alaska from
the spoilers, are to be found demo
crats, socialists and republicans
Thev are united in this one wish,
to save Alaska, so why should we
inject anything so ridiculous as a
straw ballot for presidents?
If Home Rulers lose this election,
Alaska will be governed from Wash
ington just as it has been in the
past, no matter who is president,
and I want to say to the voters of
this town it is not a question of J.
M Tanner or H. B. LeFevre, it is
a question of your "altars and your
fires."
