SOMETHING IN WHICH TO STICK
A PIN
The Seattle Times makes a point in
connection with the recent election in
Alaska that is worth sticking a pin in.
That is the tact that the people of tha
district have shown by their votes thai
the; are well enough organized to be
entitled to a territorial form of govern'
meat. It has been claimed that the
great area of this district precludes
the people of ;ts different sections from
getting sufficiently in touch with each
other to make self-government practic
able. But that argument cannot be
advanced any more with anything like
reasonableness. The fact that, though
the campaign was very short and
each of the three divisions had candi
dates for delegate for the long term,
ThomtsCale. of Fairbanks, carried all
the First. Second and Third divisions,
indicates the people of the district are
sufficiently united in thought, senti
ment, and the means of communication
to be able to make up their minds
on what they want and how to get it.
They have shown by their union on
the issues and candidates that the great
distances are not a hindrance to co
operation.
The people have also snowu nu wid
est ia their welfare that entitles them
vo the management of their own affairs,
and they have proved their capacity to
manage them. They have refused to
be dictated to by politicians. They
hare refused to be handled by those
who sought to play ducks and drakes
with their franchises. They have
taken charge of their own affairs as far
as congress has permitted them to do
it and given an earnest of what they
would _do with a territorial govern
ment.
The work that brings Mrs. ISarr,
matron of the Washington State Child
ren's Home Society, to Sk&gway is one
that is deserving the very best at the
hands of everybody and every com
munity. The work of bringing the
homeless child to the childless home ?
or of rescuing children from homes
where conditions are worse than home
less and placing them where the en
vironment will give them happiness
and comfort and make of them good
citizens? ia a work to increase the sum
of human happiness and to improve the
race. It is a work in behalf of the little
ones who are snatched from lives of
misery, igorance and crime: in behalf
those who are seeking someone upon
whom to lavish affection, and in behalf
of the civilization which is improved
with the making ofjgood citizens. It is a
work that increases the happiness alike
of those directly benefitted and those
who contribute to the bestowal of the
benefits, and one which makes the
worldbetter.
In giving free and without price
lessons In mechanical drawing and of
fering to give free instruction in other
branches should there appear a demand
for it, the Rev. J. W. Gienk, of this
city, is exhibiting a very practical love
for his fellow man. One who assists
mother to better equip himself in the
battle for a livelihood for himself and
those depending upon him does a real
service. Knowledge and ability to do
things are possessions more valuable
than money. They will survive panics
errors in business judgment, fires, and
all other kinds of disasters, and be as
set* as long as life and health shall
la?t.
In discussing William R. Hearst,
William Trayers Jerome uses the words
" brainless, ''"addlepated," etc ,aad com
pares him with the poor deluded Czol
goz. Jerome is talking" words and
writicz himself another kind of an ass.
He can ill afford that. He has made
himself many kinds already.

WILL mi
Earthquakes ^Will Be Nu
merous for Sometime
[Special Dispatch _ to Daily Alaskan]
Washington, Aug. 28? Edmund
Scribner Stevens Bidiile, scholar and
crhonologist, predicts that there will
be numerous earthquakes of a severs
nature until the y.'ar 1915. He says the
earth is now out of an upright position
and that there is, as a consequence, an
uneven strain on its crust. It is. how
ever, gradually assuming a natural
position. The eruption of Mt. Pelee
and other similar disturbances are
traced to this cause.
Riddle says a similar period will be
gin in 1925 and continue until III pi. In
1982, he says, all the cities of the world
will be shaken and many of them will
fall.
