that territorial conven
tion
The statement has often- be*n
by Juneauites that the convention that
w? held at Seattle last fall was com
posed largely of Seattle people. It has
even been said that To per cent, of th
delegates were residents of that place,
holding proxies from Alaska. Tb?*^
are quite the reverse. Some peo^
who are aoquinted with nearly al I of ,
the delegates and proxy holders in that
Zy. personally or bv reputation,
checked over the list of
vestetday.anditwasdisclosedthate.o.
"the SO odd votes were represented by
people known to be Alaskans. I
them were by Seattleites-and 10 were
unknown by those who did the check
ing. Most of the unknown were prob
ab!y Alaskans of the bona fide variety, j
e M Woodruff, formerly of Eagle,
who cast two of the 67 Alaskan votes,
has since located in Seattle, and ^
Hills, who represented Snettisham, has,
left the district. j
Those who are known to be located
at Seattle, who cast nine votes. ?nclu e
John G. Price, who resided at bkagway
{or six years: John J. Burns, who
resided in Alaska for eight years; Capt.
D. H. Jarvis. who was collector o cus
tom for several years and identified
with Alaska for many years prev.ous to
his tern of oHce: E. .W. Johnston, a
Skagway pioneer, and a man who
spends much of his time at >ome,
where he owns one of the richest mine.
i? the district, and Capt. O. J- Humph
"what is more to the point is that the
sentiment breathed by the platform of
the convention and the speeches deliv
ered therein permeates Alaska from
Non.e to Ketchikan. Its principal
feature was the "demand"' for "the ap
plication to Alaska of the fundamental
American principle of self-government
?nd elective representation in con
gress." That indicates the sp r
which dominated the convention^ It
was emphasized by the election of Go ?
Swineford. one of the best and most
resentative in all the north of
principle of Alaska for Alaskans to re
present is at Washington. He
also was the chairman the convention.
The principles advocated y e
convention are those which must be
advocated by any political party
organization in Alaska which hopes
secure a corporal's guard for a follow
ing, whether its members believe
them or not.

Now that Skagway has declared for
a man for delegate to congress who is
not a Juneauile, wjp can expect to pet
all kinds of promises from that place.
Just wait to hear them all declare for
territorial government and in favor of
a million dollar postoffice and customs
house at Skagway. Of course, gentle
reader, they want your friendship
until 7 o'clock on the evening of Au
gust 14, next.
Those people of this city to whom
come Juneauites with honeyed words
and fair promises which they desire to
exchange for support for a Juneau
man for delegate to congress (whom
they urge just because he is a Juneau
ite and a good fellow, and not because
of what he stands for) should remember
that Skagway has been double crossed
every time they have taken a
Juneau pledge in a matter of politics.
Among the candidates for delegate to
congress, self-announced and announc
ed by their friends, there is not one
who has said a single word as to his
position on any question before the
people except Gov. Swineford ? that is,
if we do not include Mr. Wildt, who
has withdrawn from the race. They
are candidates, probably, because they
want tke office.

SELF-GOVERN MET8 18 BUSINESS
The demand for self-government Is
not all sentiment, good? sound, healthy |
American sentiment though It Is ? it Is
business. The only businessl 1 Ice aid com
mon sense way of running the affairs
of this distrlot, like with those of any
other place, is to have them managed
by the people who are concerned. No
legislative body holding sessions in
Washington on the Atlantlo seaboard
from 4,000 to 6,000 miles away from
Alaska is competent to furnish legisla
tion for this district and all its varied
interests, even if we have a delegate
there to tell it how to do it. No
delegate, though he be a second Solo
mon for wisdom, is competent to tell
the legislators what should be the de
tails of laws for Alaska. This country
has grown beyond a one man country.
It is necessary for each section of the
district to be represented in the law
making body. In no other way can we
have businesslike legislation.
The only St and capable way of man
aging Alaska, as a business institu
tion, is for the people to be given the
power to conduct their own affairs.
It I* Dangerous to N?(leot a oold
How often do we hear it remarked:
"It's only a cold." and a few days later
learn that the man is on his back with
pneumonia. That is of sucn common
occurrence that a cold, however slight,
should cot be disregarded. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy counteracts any
tendency of a cold to result in pneu
monia. and has gained its great popular
ity and extensive sale by its prompt
cures of this most common ailment. It
always cures and is pleasant to take.
