HOME RULE FIGHT.
The Seattle Times is now cham
pioning the cause of home rule for
Alaska, says The Cordova North Star.
It has sounded the depths of the
feeling throughout Alaaka. from the
Alaskans who continually pour
through the gates of Seattle and no
doubt understands that Seattle as a
progressive city, helped greatly by Al
aska trade, must assist in those thing
which means a larger measure of
prosperity to the Northland.
Whether true or not. so far as the
policy of the Times is concerned, it
Is the fact neverhteless that home
rule sentiment is sweeping every
thing before iL Tho obstructionists
here and there who are now trying
to stem the popular current will find
themselves melting away like crumb
ling banks under the force of an on
rushing flood.
President Taft. with his commis
sion and un-American form of gov
ernment, may check this flood for a
time: the big interests and their
organs may succeed In erecting a
few temporary barriers, but. the
same as "he waters that gather more
force as they are obstructed, so will
the flood-tide of home rule sentiment
overleap all these M rr J
. ? ..MtSKans the right to
their own laws and govern
- themselves.
Everywhere the handwriting on the
wall 1J? ylauiij ?u>iuie. iut> people
of Alaska have already spoken twice
In the election of delegates; they
will again raise their voices in the
forthcoming election and will keep
on making a noise until the powers
at Washington grant them the right
of franchise.
Even the present session of Con
gress may witness a sharp contest
on this question when President
Taft's commission plan Is presented
for adoption. Senator Piles and oth
ers are enlisted In the cause of
home rule, and It Is certain that the
commission plank will not slide
through on smooth waters. The con- 1
fllct will arouse the Interest of others ]
and Alaska Is more apt to gain. ?
than lose, friends who will be attract- \
ed by the justness of her cause.
SEEING NELLY HOME.
IN the sky the bright srars glittered.
On the trans the moonlight (ell.
llu*h?d the aound of daylight'* bua
tle.
Closed the pink eyed pimpernel.
A* down the moss grown wood path.
Where the cattle love to roam.
Tram Aunt Dinah's quilting party
( was seeing Nelly home.
CHORUS.
When I saw sweet Nelly home.
When 1 saw sweet Nelly home.
How 1 blessed tho August evening.
When I saw sweet Nelly home.
Jetty ringlets softly Buttered
O'er her brow as whit* as snow.
And her cheek the crimson sunset
Scarcely had a warmer glow.
Mid her parted lips vermilion
White teeth Hashed like ocean foam.
All I marked with pulses throbbing
As I saw sweet Nelly home.
When the autumn tinged the greenwood,
Turning all the leaves to gold.
In the lawn by alder* shaded.
I my love to Nelly told.
As we stood together, gazing
On the star spangled dome.
How I blessed the August evening
When I saw sweet Nelly home!
White hairs mingle with my tresses.
furrows steal upon my brow.
T or a love smile cheer* and blesses
Life s declining moments now.
Matron In a snowy kerchief.
Closer to my bosom come.
Tall me. dost thou still remember
When I saw my Nelly home?
? Unidentified.
CHASTITY.
S?t1*V heaven "Intly chastity
w"*n a soul is found sincerely so
A thousand liveried angels lackey her.
Driving far oft each thing of sin and ?
fUUt,
And in clear dream and solemn vision !
J*er ?4 thla?8 that no gross ear can ;
hear
T1U oft converse with heavenly habitants
Hoc ins to cast a beam on the outward
shape.
The unpolluted temple of the mind.
And turns It by decrees to the soul's es
sence
Till all be made Immortal
It's Important! \
