THE WHITEHORSE INTERVIEW
la his Whitehorse interview Mr.
Shoup says the question of self-govern
ment should not be made an issue in the
present campaign. He intimates that
conditions imgnt be different when the
next census shall have been taken (in
1910 . and that to make it an issue be
fore th.u time is likely to defeat the
object that it is sought to attain.
Nonsense! How in the name of rea
son can people defeat the object of their
desires by asking for it? Hew can
they ask for it unless they send a dele
gate to congress as their spokesman
who will represent them? How can
they make sure of getting a delegate
\v bo will represent them without they
make it an issue before the election of
that delegate?
The question of self-government will
be a live issue in Alaskan affairs at
every election and for every minute be
tween elections from the present time
until the right to it >hall be vouchsafed
the people. Alaskans would be un
worthy of their American citizenship
were it Ltherw;?e. The question will
not down, and it were worso than
foolish for politfcians to try to down it.
And it is too big a question to straddle.
Mr. Shoup will tind that out before the
present campaign is much older.

RESPONSE should be liberal
The call made yesterday by the non
partisan committee for funds should
meet with a prompt ar.d liberal re
sponse. There is much to be done to
get ;he ijsties of the campaign before
the people of the north. There will be
hundreds of voters next August who
have not liv.d in Alaska as Ion? as
hau the peop.e of Skagway and who
l ive not given A! ^kan affairs so much
attention. io make the campaign that
has been inaugurated in favor of self
government effective all the people
ii.us. be mane to understand the appli
c i.i'jn of the present campaign to the
principle involved. 1 hat will renuire
a great deal of energy and work and
some money. Let the issues be
.uatie p a:a to everybody and the result
will .a?e care of itself. Americans
'?*1 co. vote again.?t self-government
anu for taxation without represmtation
if they know it. It is up to us to make
it piain that the politicians would fool
thi in oa thi. question.
OPTIMISM AT FAIRBANKS
"The ice has cone? the robins have
come. sings the Fairbanks News,
and the sentiment leads to further op
timistic thoughts, the News contin
uing:
The spring clean-up beating all
records and awakening lively interest
everywhere railroad builders tumbling
over each other in thair activity and
eagerness to be the first? fully half a
dozen of them in the field at this
time? cooper developments to beat
the band--a Montana band? and added
to this, politics to be done for the first
time in the district this spring. Surely
things are doing in Alaska."
It is good to feel that way, and it is
a fortunate thing that the conditions at
Fairbanks inspire that kind of feelings.
By the way. how the spirit of optim
ism pervades Alaska.' No people on
earth see more to live for than do Alas
kans. Few have so much to live for.
The people of the north have a world
of history to make and they have set
themselves cut to the making of it with
a rush and vigor that is highly exhil
arating?a manner that breeds optim
ism, strength and virility They make
life worth whtle.
It is now claimed that Charles F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany hall, is to
be overthrown and that Mayor Mc
Clellan is to become leader of that or
ganization himself. It is said if the
plan succeeds William Travers Jerome
will be nominated for governor by the
regular democrats. Jerome's name
will be used to defeat Hearst. In the
meantime Hearst is making wonderful
progress as a candidate for governor.
David B. Hill, Norman E. Mack and
other "Up-State" leaders are for him.
It is said that an effort to arrange a
compromise between Hearst and Bryan
is not without hoDe of success. The
plan is for Hearst to keep out of the
presidential eontest and Bryan out of
the New York state contest. This
movement was suggested by the fact
that so many of the supporters of
Hearst for governor have declared for
Bryan for president.
Gov. Hoggitt says the question of
territorial government has been settled
for 10 years. That is the time limit
Capt. D. H. Jarvis has, set before
the people of the north can exercise
their right to home-rule. Mr. Shoup
places the limit at five years (after the
next census). In other words Gov.
Uoggatt and Capt. Jarvis are 10-year
tories and Mr. Shoup is a five-year
tory, with an option, probably, on an
other five year lease to begin with the
expiration of the first.
An interior paper says there was no
good to come from the Seattle conven
tion of last November. Well, the right
to elect a delegate to congress came
from it. Perhaps it thinks that is not
worth while.
Minnesota has endorsed Senator Nel
son for re-election. To prova the old
saying that "there is no accounting for
tastes?"
At least no one can accuse Senator
Nelson of being a quitter.
RELICS or fRISCO
EIRE AT BRITE'S
In the corner window of Britt's drug
store are displayed a number of relics
from the San Francisco fire. They were
collected by Charles Dunlap formerly
of this place, and forwarded to Mr.
Britt. Among the blackened and fire
warped souvenirs are articles that
passed through the fire in many of the
leading buildings of the Golden Gate
city.
