SEHSE AND HARDIHOOD OF GOVERNOR
H088ATT
The curioua spectacle was had the
other day in Washington ot the Gor
rrnor of Alaska arguing before the
douse Committee oo Territo lea against
the bill to'provide a territorial form o
government for the region over which
hepresldea. He said that Alaska was
not yet read, to be converted Into a
Territory '.that its total white population
scattered over a vast area, does not ex
Ceed 30,000; that until the natural Ra
tion of Alaska's communities from one
another is overcome by the importa
tion facilities, the best form of govern
ment is that by courts, wWch now ob
lains. The governor said the voting
strength of the district would He within
a tew communities whers mining inter
ens or the saloon element would have
contro'. sno that laws passed by a leg s
lature such as provided for under the
territorial lorm of government would.
In the case of Alaska, be apt to lead to
eadles* corrective legislation in Con
fess. There is a great deal of sense in
what the Governor says, but hlj bardl

Commercial Advertiser.
No. nor is he getting It. The Pact c
Commercial Advertiser like '.hat other
tra'le paper th?t thought that JuneM
was not the place for the Capital
also thought Whitehorse was, Is only
half right. The lack of sense in the
governor's utterance Is as great as is
his hardihood in uttering it. Also
th, lack of sense in the Adver
tiser's comment is of proportion not to
be easily overlooked. For If Alsrta
was a territory cong">s? would have
nothing to do with "corrective legisla
tion." Alaska would ihen make her
own laws and If congress thought they
were not good laws It wou'd annul
them. In other words congress mlgUt
veto our acts but would not act on is
own part. The action of congress a
the lack of It is exittly the thing we
?eek to get away from iu self govern
ment. Governor Hoggatfs argument
is simply that of an appointive officer
who does not wish to hear a stronger
voice than his own "in the region
over which he presides." If Alaska
were allowed to do it there would be a
lot of "corrective legislation" drne ai
its own capital to counteract the acts o
this governor who has spent the whole
winter laboring hard in the interests of
corporations which now own Alaska
and against the interests of the people
who have no say whatever.

read; for action on the date of opening,
according to all advices touching the
subject that come up from Seattle.
Fifty per cent of the buildlnsr is done
they say. Now there is one building
that is put up to the "Alaska-Yukon"
end of the show (o construct, one that
was undertaken by that contingent of
its own motioo. That is the building I
of the Arctic Brotherhocd. The cost of
the structure is estimated at $25,000.
Many camps of the order of the uor.h
are assuming the responsibility involv
ed, ana are moving to make the enter
prise a creditable success. Dawson
camp has been doing its share manfully
for a long tlm6. Current issues of the
Fairbanks newspapers report energetic
measures being taken, t^e appointment
of ? committee to soliolt funds and th?
cheerful response to the call.
The Alaska-Yukon-Pacifio exposition
has had a lot of knocking ftom tha
north for no apparent reason. The
exposition is designed to benefit Seatt'e
to be sure, but since it is Seattle's
idea, since Seattle took the initiative
and is taking all the cbances of loss,
slnoe Seattle is doing all the work nnd
putting up all the monoy that so far has
been put up. It is a little difficult to see
why she should be oeijrudged the
benefit, Alaska must necessarily derive
much benefit which is wholly the
the result of this effort of Seattle's.
The show will undoubtedly attract a
lot of attention that would not be
otherwise attracted to it. A great
number of excursionists will come hero
through its ageucv that would not
otherwise come. Now, what place in
Alaska will derive the direct benefit of
this result?
Of all the cities in the north Skag
way should give the exposition hearty
support, because to that play for
general results, or the patriotic
impulse which almost alone must move
the great expanse of the district in any
assistance it renders, ha> here added
the Interest of direct financial returns
sure to accrue. Skagwav should do its
full share for the Arctic Brotherhood
building and for the exhibit that is ex
pected of Alaska.
AN OVERWORKED ELOCUTIONIST
Onoe there was a little boy whose name
was Robert Reece;
And every Friday afternoon he had to
speaic a piece.
So many poems thus ho learned, that
soon he had a store
Of recitations in his head, and still
kept learning more.
And now this Is what happened: He waa
called upon one week,
And totally forgot the piece he was
about to speak !
His brain he cudgeled. Not a word re
mained within his head ?
And so he spoke at random, and this la
what he said :
"My Beautiful, my Beautiful, who
standest proudly by,
It was the schooner Hesperus? the
bro?kl9(j waves dashed high !
Why is the" Forum crowded ? What
means this stir in Romo?
Under a spreading chestnut tree there
is no place like h jme !
When Freelom from her mountain
high cries Twinkle little star,
Shoot if you most this old pray head,
King Henry of Navarre !
Roll on thou deep and dark blue cas
tled crag of Drachenfels,
My name Is Nerval, on the Grampian
Rills, ring oat, wild bells !
If you 'ie waking, call me early, to be
or not to be,
The curfew must not rteg tonight ! Oh,
woodman, spare that tree !
Charge, Chester, charge ! On, Stanley,
on ! And let who will be olever I
The boy stood on the burning deck, but
I go on forever !"
His elecution was superb, his voice and
gestures fine:
His schoolmates all applauded as he
finished the last line.
"I see it doesen't matter," Robert
thought, what words I sVy,
So long as I declaim with oratorlal dis
play !"? Wbitchorse Star.
