SPEAKING UP
Tbe Alaskan ha* repeatedly called
attention to the utility of asking for
what one wants. For instance, If ono
wants a better mail service. A man
leavlug San Francisco subscribed for
tbe Chronicle aod o dered it sent to
Fairbanks where bo was going. Of
course be dldo't get tbe papers durlag
tbe win er and he wrote cancelling tbr
subscription. Shortly be received a
letter frotn M. H. DcYouog saying be
bad taken up the matter with tbe iiostal
authorities anj tbat he had called pub
lic attention to the conditions In tb<<
Cbroa'.clc. Enclosed In a letter was an
editorial slipping.
It is the aggregation of these things,
Inslud-d in which was tbe publlo pro
test of tbe people of Ska^way, which
has brought about tbe radical measures
for the bnterineats which we see this
sprint; now being taken, to the point of
annulling tbo existing contracts, and
tho making of more liberal ones. The
Chronicle puts it strong enough to
mike them lake notise. Ia part it
it sajs:
"For some reason or other, while the
postofflce department is able to Qad
money enough to pay for sending all
kinds of unit to the doors of people In
the older parts cf the Union, It cannot
spare enough to pay for transportation
between pjiou Id Alaska. We are
ask-d to denounce the discrimination as
an outrage. It seems to deserve that
designation "
SOME MINERS' UNIONS
The business men of Fairbanks re
cently issued a manifesto declaring that
they "have arrived at a conclusion
which war rants them in saying that the
existence of a miners' union Is in no
way conducive to the peace and pros
perity of the camp."
Tbe spread of unionism in the Tac
ana is rot likely 10 be greatly checked
by this utterance. Unionism is all
right ? it is the abuse of unionism, the
employing of an organization formed
for one purpose to other ends than was
intended that Is objectionable. The
Western F. deration of Miners Is not a
purely labor union, it is a political or
ganization or an organization diverted
oy abators from ita original uses to
that of tbe ends of the lesdere, to sow
tho seeds of disloyalty to the United
States aod the spread of the doctrines
of socialism.
Tbe Fairbanks business men should
amjod their resolution to read "the ex
istence of SO VIE miners' unions" <kc.,
and it will thus serve a purpose.
Col. L. S. Howlctt, late U. S. com
missioner at Seward, wboje death was
noted yesterday, was one of the most
brilliant as well as lovable of men. He
had fe? enemies and a vast army of
friends - though he himself was not
among this latter number.
Any Alaskan could have to'd the
Thorn is car man that he could not at
thin season of the year get, through
over the trails of Alaska. It would
seem that men with so much at stake
would have consulted someoue who
know.
There is no objection whatever to
giving the Philippines self-government
whenever they can handle It. But
Alaska? why not apply tbe same rule
here? Alaska li not only ripe but
ready.
All Alaska sends its commisserations
to Hot Sprinrs, Arkansas. Alaska
can'', get along very well without Ma?
jor Richardson in working harness.
What followed the blowing up of the
Maine will not bo a e raparhon to what
will happen if those dynamiter! do any
of their dirty work in Washington.

But when he palu his court to her,
