A TORY SUBTERFUGE
The Juneau Transcript (fives several
columns this week to an attempt to
make the Daily Alaskan the issue be
fore the people of Alaska instead of
that of territorial government. Re
moved of all surplussage the charge is
that this paper is supporting territorial
government for no reason other than
that such a uovernment would make
better business conditions for news
papers end that this paper is working
for quick results. Then it says:
"Territorial government would be a
bis 'pickup' for newspapers and we
wish to God the men who live in Alasna
and have their money invested here
would hurry up and see their way
clear to 'pay the bills' but wej haven't
the ?:all to tell'em they ought to invest a
milliona year in 'Americanism' just for
our sake. It wouldn't help them any
because they are all too busy mining,
fishing, building mills and developing
Alaska."
The motives of the Daily Alaskan
have no bearing on the question of
self-government in Alaska, and there
fore it is not necessary that they be
defended: but if they had and It were,
we would but call attention to the fact
that the Da ly Alaskan is the oldest
daily paper in Alaska: that It ii th#
most quoted of them all: that it began
the tight for territorial government in
October, l$y?. when it ajvised Alaska's
first territorial convention, then in ses
sion at Juneau, to demand it: that it
has never :et up in the fight, and that
it has seen one torv competitor after
another die unmourned deaths. It
would not be living to tell the tale if it
had not L een true to the ideals and as
pi rations of its American renders.
But these efforts of the tory organ
are directed to the soie purpose of get
ting the people's thoughts turned from
the real issues. It has discovered the
weakness of its case before the Alas
kan people, and would change its fight
ing- ground if possible. The;only points
in its words, words, words, that are
worthy of consideration are the intima
tions that a territorial government is
expensive, that it would entail great
expense on the people for printing
bii!s, and that the "people who live in
Alaska and have their money invested
here'' are not in favorof territorial gov
ercmect.
The extra legal printing under a ter
ritorial government could and would,
if the legislature were wise, be made
very small. Most of it would be met
from the federal appropriation for the
per diem and expenses of the legislature.
Thit less than 4,000 poor immigrants In
the Dakotas, in Washington and in
several other territories maintained
territorial government, under condi
tions more adverse than those existing
here, without heavy taxation and with
out going into debt, is all the evidence
required that 3 territorial government
need not be expensive.
The "people who live in Alaska and
have their money invested here;" min
ers, merchants, fishermen and others,
ha*e gonr on record in every possible
way in favor of territorial government.
The great producers of Nome, of Fair
banks, of Ketchikan and elsewhere, fa
vor it. That is now understood by
every man who is awake aod who will
learo from what is to be seen and
heard. Only a few tories, mostly in
the vicinity of Jur.eau and Sitka, op
pos; it. Even the majority of the peo
ple of Juneau favor it, and have said so
time after time.
Is'ow, if President Roosevelt will des
ignate some competent jjuide to show
"ShellRame" Jackson and Lis pet ass,
Kelly the Brady route, the rejoicing
in Alaska will be multiplied twice
over.
Gov. Brad ^ did resign, after all; but
he waited until the president'# mouth
was all puckered to say "mush."
A Favorite Romed j for Babies.
Its pleasant taste and prompt cures
have made Chamberlain's Cough Re
meciv favorite with the mothers of
small children it quickly cures their
coughs and colds and prevents any
dangrer of pneumonia or other serious
consequences. -It not only cures croup,
but when given as soon as the cr-mpy
cout'h appears will prevent the attack.

The Juneau tory organ, notwith
standing the Daily Alaskan has said
not one word about the attitude of the
Treadwell Mining Company on the
question ot territorial government (or
this district, past or present. Certain
ly it has said nothing that could be
tortured Into any reflection on the po
sition of the company now. It has no
information as to whs.t the Treadwell
people think of the matter, and it has
ma 1e no effort to ascertain such infor
mation. It is well known, however,
what was the attitude of a previous su
perintendent of that company? the one
who was in charge of it at the time the
editor of the Transcript ceased to urge
the granting to the people of Alaska
their American rights and became
a tory, and his explanations for that
change pre also well known.
The tory organ published down at
Juneau intimates that the Daily Alas
kan is attempting to d'scard the terri
torial government cause and "fall in
line" for a delegate in congress. No,
no; the Daily Alaskan, In common with
all the other advocjtes of American
principles of government in Alaska,
welcomes the opportunity to elect a deli -
gate in congress simply as a means
with which to secure self-government
for the people who LIVE here.
HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate a Per
son's Temperament.
Many people believe that blonde, or
light hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hair
is not devoid of character; far from It
The disposition of the average bald
headed man is to show such solicitude
for the welfare of others, that he neg
lects himself. A germ causes baldness.
Prof. Sabouraud, of Paris, France, In
nocculated a rabbit with Dandruff germs,
causing It to become totally bald In five
weeks" time. To rid the scalp of these
langerous germs It is necessary to apply
N'ewbro's HerphHde.

The Eye Sh-till Receive
Every Consideration
The eye is the most sensitive organ
in the human anatomy, and sight the
most useful of the senses. To tegleet
the eye is to endure pain and misery
and to court impaired vision and even
total blindness. The north winds, fill
ed with particles of drifting snow and
ice, and the reflections from sun-kissed
mountaies and wind-swept snovr fields,
make a northern winter a time when
every precaution should be taken to
guard the eye. Shou'd nature,
through pain or otherwise, warn you
of approaching danger, by all means
heed the warning. We test the eye
free of charge and furnish glasses,
ground to the point of perfection, to fit
the need disclosed by science. Our
prices are reasonable.
Our stock of watches, clocks, glass
ware, silverware, souvenirs, novelties
aud jewelry is up-to-date in design, A 1
