SELF GOVERNMENT AND PRAC
TICABILITY
The tories are now telling us that we
must go to Congress with something
more practicable than self-government
for Alaska if we desire to get any legis
lation at all from the national legisla
ture.
IJeally? When, pray, did self-gov
ernment become to be regarded as im
prac cai':e with American legislators?
Certainly not prior to the granting of
the : shtsofa full territorial govern
ment to the Kanakas of the Sandwich
island-". Certainly rot prior -to th9
irranrin - . >f home-control to the negroes
of I'orto Kico. Certainly not prior to
the introduction of the principles of
^elf-government among the yellow
tribes of the Philippines. And that
brines u> down to the present, for home
i :'e is now being extended in the Phil
ippines ?s a settled policy with the
o-eveit administration an adminis
tration which has been regarded as
overmuch imperirlistic by the more
strei-uous sticklers for constitutional
government in the United States. The
granting of full citizenship and state
hood to the Cherokees, Chippewas, Os.
agi - acd the other natives of the plains
and valleys of Indian territory the
other day by congress was not an indi
cation that -elf-government is regarded
as impracticable at Washington.
Oh. but you say it is impracticable
only when applied to Alaska. Is that
so': Then put your candidate for dele"
gate to congress on the stand. You
?;ij he .> the ablest and most practical
mac in Alaska, and the best acquainted
? . h its condition- and needs

Four years a go >Jr. Shoup said there
was r.o reason why a full territorial
organization should not be granted
Alaska, lie then said the people of
this district were able to maintain a
territorial government, and that they
wire etter caoable of governing them
selves than was congress. In the years |
since that lime Mr. Shoup has fre
quentlv expressed himself as believing I
that a territorial organization with a|
territorial gislature affords the prac
t.eu. solution of the Alaskan problem.
It is known that he had cot changed
his micd two months ago. Three
we> ks Hgo Juneauites were in Skagway
urging that the people here support
Mr. Shoup for congress because of his
adherence to the cause of a territorial
government.
We submit that if self-government
were practicable four years ago and a'J
the years since then down to three
weeks ago it must be practicable cow.
GOOD PAPER DIES
With the suspension of the Sitka I
Cablegram one of the most valued of |
visitor at the exchange tables of Alas
kan editors will cease. The Cable
gram was alive with the news sense of
its editor, it was able, it was honest
n ,:h it- If and its readers, it was cour
ageous? in fact it whs a newspaper, the
product of a newspaper man of ability
who respects his profession and en"
deavor^ to make it respectable. It is to
bad for such a paper to die ? many In- 1
ds could be spared with less cost.
It is fortunate that Alaska is not to
lose the services of Mr. Robinson, who
was editor of the Cablegram. He will
be associated with E. C. Russell in
makicg the Juneau Dispatch, Juneau's
"old reliable" daily newspaper. The
Daiiy Alaskan congratulates Mr. Rus
sell and the readers of his newspaper.
In a recent speech Gov. Folk,"of Mis
souri, who has betn frequently spoken I
of as the probable democratic nominee |
for president in 1908, said. "William J.
Bryan will be nominated for president |
in ISO?, and he will be elected ''
The republican state convention in |
South Dakota declared for tariff revis
isn. Even the tariff question is becom
ing non-partisan.
It is said Gov. Brady has been
putting in good licks at Washington
against the removal of the capital from
Sitka to Juneau.
The best meals and best service in I
Skagway can be secured at the Fifth |
Avenue hotel. tf.
