If anyone has any idea that the peo
ple of Alaska are in the least indebted
to northern tories for tha prospect of
the passage of a delegate bllli lot him
stop and consider the facts. When the
national legislators began gathering at
Washington, last November, it was an
nounced by senators and representa
tives that Alaska would neither hare
territorial government nor a delegate in
congress. Several plans were being
discussed. One of them, urged by
Speaker Cannon, was that Alaska
should be governed by committees of
the senate and house, as the District of
Columbia is governed, and as was the
case for so long a time with the Phil*
ippines. Secretary Taft, manager of
the Philippines a :d emperor of Pana
ma. had a plan, in the support of which
he enlisted the services of Secretary
Root. He proposed to govern Alaakfc
by himself, through the insular bureau
of tbe war department. It will be re
membered that the tories were very
happy at this stage of the game.
In the mean time, the people of Alas
ka held a convention at Seattle. They
dec ared in ringing words that they
seek no favors, but demand the right
to govern themselves. Delegates from
that convention went to W ashington.
Thev attracted the attention of tha
press of the countrr- The support of
individual senators and representatives
was offered. The Washington con
gressional delegation took up the cause
and presented the delegates to the pres
ident. The president called the atten
tion of lawmakers to their presence
acd demands. At last the leaders in
thi two houses bej;ao to sit up and take
notice. They discovered the tide in fa
vo" of territorial government running
hlKh- Then thev ru?hed the bill for a
tsrritorial government through com
mittees and the senate in a week. It
wa- forced upon those who would have
monarchical conditions continue in
Al.^?ka. who acct pted it hoping to de
lay as long as possible the extension of
tbe American principles of self-gov
erciDCQt. That is th? story.
To those who favor territorial govern
ment the passage of the delegate bill
is regarded simply as a victory on the
skirmish Jine in the battle for their
rights-a battle which will terminate
on'y when the citadel falls.
"For ways that are -lark ana tricks
that are vain commend me to the hea
then Chinee," wrote Bret Harte, near
ly 40 years ago: and the scheming, un
tiring Celestial still is making good.
Soma time ago. a Presbyterian
mission in China wa* looted and sever
al missionaries killed. In response to
the demands of the United States the
imperial government at Peking prom
ised to punish the offenders, and in due
time there were executions. It was an
nounced that the crime had been paid
for, blood for blood. It now develops
that the executed were men who had
been condemned to death before the
missionary outrage had taken place for
crimes previously committed, and that
the-' had no connection with the affair
at a.l. It also is claimed that this has
been a custom long established In Chi
na leases where crimes against for
eigners are committed, for which
the foreign powers demand reparation.
Government officials, it Is said, and
these w^o murder and loot from for
eigners, understand each other thor

GUARD II
The Eye Sli,>nll Riceive
Every Consideration
The eye is the most sensitive organ
in the human anatomy, and sight the
most useful of the senses. To neglect
the eye is to endure pain and misery
and to court impaired vision and even
total blindness. The north winds, fill
ed with particles of drifting snow and
ice. and the reflections from sun-kissed
mountaies and wind-swept snow fields,
maie a northern xinter a time when
every precaution should be takes, to
guard the eye. Should nature,
through pain or otherwise, warn you
of approaching danger, by all means
heed the warning. We test the eye
free of charge and furnish glasses,
ground to the point of perfection, to fit
the need disclosed by science. Our
prices are reasonable.
Our stock of watches, clocks, glass
ware, silverware, souvenirs, novelties
and jewelry is up-to-date in design, A 1
in quality and of a quantity and variety
to suit all tastes and uses.
