REASONS FOR HOME RULE.
Our delegate In congress has Intro- j
duced a bill with the object of secur
ing some sort of autonomy for Alas
ka. The bill is no wore perfect than
other human documents, but were it
trained by the gods and endorsed by
Jupiter, some of the yoke-bowed
sycophants who grovel at the feet of i
imported authority would denounce J
ii and fondly cliug to the beggarly
rolitical charity doled out from a
throne three thousand miles away.
Aside from establishing a few fund
amental laws applicable to all places
dike, congress has no moral right
to frame one single law for the gov
ernment of Alaska. How can a sen
ator from South Carolina who can't
nuke decent laws for his own state,
vote intelligently on a question in
volving the fisheries, mining or land;
conditions of Alaska? Why should
the trust-born representatives from ?
New Kngland be supplicated, as
though they were gods, every time ;
a municipality up here wants to cor- i
rect its system of taxation? What
Uohs Georgia know about the partic
ular conditions of the laborers in the
Northland? She can't govern her own ,
r.iggers.
There are two classes of people
who want the present conditions to
contiuue ? those who are making an
tasy clean up under favorable admin
istration and those who have a soft j
appointive berth. Those two classes!
denounce everybody else as incapable
of self-government. No honest man.
who has no personal interests to
serve, will acknowledge himself as
one of the incapables. It is always
the indefinite somebody else.
Wickersham is handicapped by all
the obstacles that greed can com
mand, but the great, honest, hearts
and brains of Alaska's well-wishers
are one and indissolubly with him. ?
Ketchikan Miner.
THE SEXTON'S INN.
Only a little longer, and the jour
hey is done, my friend! Only a lit
tle further, and the road will have
an end! The shadows begin to
lengthen, the evening soon will close,
and it's ho for the Inn of the Sexton,
the inn where we'll all repose. The !
inn has no Bridal Chamber, ao suits
for the famed or great; the guests,
when they go to slumber, are all of
the same estate; the chambers are
small and narrow, the couches are
bard and cold, and the grinning, flesh
less landlord, is not to be bought
with gold. A sheet for the proud
and haughty, a sheet for the beggar |
Km-st; a sheet for the blooming |
maiden ? a sheet for us all, and rest! j
No bells at the dawn of morning, no
rap at the chamber door, but silence !
is there, and slumber, for ever and
ever more. Then ho for the Inn of
the Sexton, the inn where we all
must sleep, when our hands are done
w' h their toiling, and our ?yes have
ceased to weep! ? Walt Mason.
A Cordova man committed suicide
and the reason remains a mystery.
Perhaps it was the climate.
Get out and boost and help make
the Fourth of July celebration a suc
cess.
Marvel not, my brethren, if the
world hate you ? John, Chapter,
Home rule for Alaska.
