ALASKA WANTS HOME RULE
Practically all of the newspapers
published la Alaska, the mayors of an
of the Incorporated*] towns and the
presidents of all the organised com mo
clal bodies in that territory have un
ited In a cable message to President
Taft asking the support of the pres
ident for legislation for the creation
oC a govrenmnet by the people for
Alaska, and that the president urge
upon congress the creation of an Alas
kaa legislature in substantial conform
lty with the Wickersham bill.
This reQUset should make a pro
found impression upon the president,
who interested himself so strongly in
procuring for the people of the Phil
ippines that load self government
which congress has persistently de
nied to the white Americans who
people Alyka.
Alaska has been the step-child
among the territories. All other ter
ritories were accorded local legisla
tures from the moment of their cre
ation. notwithstanding all the draw
backs of scanty population, meager
resources vnd imperfect means of
communicrtiot. This has been the
case since the foundation of the gov
ernment. Hawaii, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, peopled by aliens to the
traditions of self-government, were
promptly given the privilege of con
ducting their local affairs. Alaska
alone, for no reason save that outside
investors there object, has been
denied any share in its local govern
ment; cannot make its local laws, or
levy or disburse taxes for local pur
poses, save In the few and scattered
municipalities.
From every standpoint the situa
tion is outrageous. There is absolute
tj no excuse or warrant for it. It ex
ists only because congress and the
executive have been assured over and
over again, by representatives of thej
outside capital invested in Alaska,
tha* the people of the territory did
not really want a local legislature.
The telegram from the representative
people of Alaska to the president
shows, beyond any question of a
doubt, the falsity of that statement.

DEATH PROVED POPULARITY.
"Our city is all draped in mourn
in* today and tomorrow by reason
of the death of Gov. Johnson. I real
ly believe that if Johnson had lived
that he would have given us Repub
licans a hard rustle for the next na
tional campaign. We did not realize
here how tremenduously popular he
was till after his death."
The above is an excerpt of a let
ter written by Herbert Keller of St
Paul to Jack Keller. Mr. Keller is
a member of the state central com
mittee of Minnesota and in a position
to be in touch with the political
puke.
THE SMILING MAN.
1 know of a mn who is amIHng,
all day like a.^.-'tet of greens; the
mirth of his fa<v> Is beguiling ? he
beats all the grinning machines. He
?miles, for it brings him the money
? he's boss of a prominent store;
some say that he wouldn't be sunny,
if he found that it paid him not more
He smiles at the maiden, the charm
er, who to his emporium sails; he
?mllea at the honest old farmer, who
comes to trade buttei for nails; he
?miles on the kid with a penny who
asks for a section of gum; he'd smile
on the bogie?, if any should to his
establishment come. When done
Is the day wi \h its labors, he home
to bis mansion repairs; and I am in
formed by his neighbors, who watch
him from peepholes of theirs, that he
Is a reg'lar gorilla, who snarls at his
his children and wife; some day with
a bludgoen of willow, they'll knock
all the smiles from his life. This
smiling that's boosted so often is
surely an excellent graft; alas for the
heart that won't soften for the fel
low who never has laughed. It's
good to bo cheery and winning, with
laughter as light as the ioam, and
fine to do some of your grinning
with children and mother at home. ?
Walt Mason.
Whoso mocketh a married man, let
him take heed, for a fool is born
every minute and the mocker himself
falleth by the wayside. ? October
