LET US HAVE REAL ISSUES
We believe the very able and very
?aoe Sitka Cablegram makes a mistake
in taking it for granted that the eleotion
for a delegate in congress, if one shall
be had, will be conducted on party
line* and in discussing so persistently
the question as to who will be candi
dates before the republican and the
democratic conventions. So far there
has been little to suggest that the peo
ple of the district will decide the elec
tion that way. The general opinion,
where one his been formed, seems to
be that the issues of thecampagin, if we
have one, must be live issues which
concern the people, and unquestionably
that should be the case.
It is quite likely those who have
special interests to serve would be
pleased to have republican acd demo
cratic tickets. Then they could hope
to capture, through campaign contri
butions and otherwise, both organiza
tions. Other communities are making
too much progress in solving local
issues for the people by disregarding
party lines to permit the people of
Alaska to be caught that way.
The ISSUE IN TBE FIRST ALAS
KAN ELECTION MUST BE SELF
GOVERNMEXT, and It must be fairly
and squarely met. The people of Ahs
ka, those who live in .the district all
the time, must get the right to regulate
their affairs in their own hands. Then
they can settle minor matters in their
own way.
The election in Chicago does not war
rant the olaims that have been put
forth that the demand for municipal
ownership 0! public utilities is waning.
Mayor Dunne, it is said, will now have
a real, unhampered opportupity to show
ef what kind cf executive stuff he is
made.

What a mocke-y is the czar s propo
Ml of a peace conference while he is
governing his subjects with a clout and
bludgeon! It would be more seemly
were he to show some consideration for
right, and justice a??d peace to his own
people before all this holy show of
righteousness to the world. Let him
civilize his government first that he
might enter into the world civilizing
business with c'ean hands.

WOODCItOPPtRS
AIDED JAIt BREAKER
Fairbanks March 1 ? James Smith and
William Lue s, two woodchoppers were
placed in the federal jail last evening,
as a sequel to the arrest of Thornton.
They are suspected of aiding and abett
ing Thorn' on, and are charged with
horse stealing, the same charge which
rested against the name of Thornton
when he escaped.
Under the Alaika code a man aiding
a criminal to escape may oe charged
with the same crime.
Lucas made a complete confession
and says he acted with the other men
through fear.

A happy home is the most valuable
possession that is within reach if man
kind, but you cannot enjoy its comforts
if you are suffering from rheumatism.
You throw aside business cares when
you enter your home and yon can be
relieved from tho?e rheumatic pains
also by applying Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. One application will give vou
relief and its continued use for a short
time will bring about a permanent
cure. For sale by Wm. Britc.

NO SNEERS
Fairbanks N-ws Has No'
Ridicule
The Fairbanks News devotes an
editorial to the report that Gov. Swine
ford is said to have wept when the
house committee on territories refused
to report favorably the bill granting
Alaska self-government, bui like with
the other self-respecting papers of the
district, it did not punctuate its editori
al with unbecoming sneers such as
characterized a few of the tory
papers of the district. It said:
"Gov. Swineford has been actively
engage for many years in trying to
convince congress that Alaska is equal
to the task of governing herself, at
least so far as the territorial form of
government confers that privilege. He
U very much in earness about it.
Governor Swineford is no longer young,
and he has at heart the ambition, no
doubt, to see, and prehaps to be the
special agent in bringing about, that
consummation. And when he saw the
committee of the house decide to lay
the Sulzer bill upon the table he is re
ported to have wept. It, is quite easy
to understand the ex-governor's felling
in the matter."
