WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY
The l?4th birthday anniversary of
Washington is being celebrated today
throughout the United States and
wherever in the world there are Amer.
icans or those who love liberty, truth
and justice. To Americans this day,
next to the Fourth of July, stands for
those principles which make their
country dear. This, added to the* re*
ereuce for a great and good man, who
was so devoted to the right of a people
to self government that he staked the
largest fortune that had been accumu
lated upon the American continent in
his time and his life upon the result
of the war for their maintenance,
makes the day a very precious one. It
i? particularly significent in Alaska,
where the people are contending for
those things for which Washington
fought.

HOW OUTSIDE PEOPLE VIE *V IT
Xot long ago a Seattle paper devoted
a column editorial to a roast of the
Daily Alaskan and its editor. lis com
plaint was that this paper is opposed
to the government of Alaska from Se
attle. It accused the Daily Alassan of
having a gru'ge against Seattle, be
cause it insists that real Alaskans?
those who actually live in the district
?should have the direction of Alaskan
affairs.
It may seem strange, but it is true,
th.u not oce word has been said by an
outsider because a crrtain tory or .ran
insist, upon calling ihose, who favor self
government, Seattle boosters. How
ever, there is a clean-cut reason for it
The exploiters and self-appointed rep
resentatives of Alaska, who spend theii
t!me in other sections of the country,
trading on their claimed citizenship in
the north, understand that the tories
who are opposing self-government are
playing into their hands. If the *eat
of law-making and government for
Alaska were removed from Washington
toSkagway, Juneau. Ketchikan, Sitka,
Valdez, Seward, Fairbanks or Nome,
their graft wruld be shut off. They
would wither and decay if the actual
residents of Alaska were permitted to
control their country.
iieciuse the Daily A'askan has refer
red to the Juneau tories occasionally
it must not be understocd that tories
aie in the majoritiy in that city. They
are not. Juneau, like all the other
cities in Alaska, is Amer.caa and its
people belie* e in self-government.
The only fault with the majority of the
people down there is that thev pertrit
those who are monarchists and who are
opposed to anything that does not orig
inate with themselves and in which Ju
neau has no specific advantages to the
exclusion of other sections of the dis
trict, to occupy too many of the front
seats. The cause of home rule in Alas
ka would not suffer if the question of
territorial government were left to a
vote of the people of Juneau.
The Jnter-Mountain Republican, a
morning daily newspaper of Salt Lake,
Utah, has made its appearance. The
Republican says it is a republican news
paper and will give its support to
whatever tends to the advancement of
that parly's mission.
