WE HAV? HEARD FROM THE
PEOPLE
The question whether we shall or
h?ll not ask Congress for a territorial
government for Alaska has been, to
tome extent, discussed in the news
papers but so far we have not heard
l rom the people. The Republican and
liemocratic conventions to be held July
14 and 16 at Juneau will afford an op
portunity to hear from the representa
tives of each of the parties and it may
be that one or the other conventions
will speak on this subject.
This little gem was taken from the
Ketchikan Mining Journal which is one
of three newspapers in all the north
which do not believe the Americans of
Alaska are capable of governing them
selves. It will be seen this was printed
before the convention was held. Since
then the conventions have been held
ami BOTH OF THEM "spoke on the
subject." Both were unqualified in
their expression in favor of self-govern
ment.
Mr. Shoup who was the Juneau candi
date had a platform fixed up for him in
advance, anticipating his nomination.
That platform said the republican
party "favored territorial government
when Alaska had progressed'' etc., etc.
Well, Mr. Shoup, instead of bring
chosen by acclamation as his friends
declared he would be, did not hear his
name memtioned on the tloor and his
platform was not read.
Mr. Shoup is in many respects a very
good man and he makes a good marshal
but he has discovered that in respect to
the wishes of the people on this most
important matter he is entirely mis
taken.
Through both the conventions we
have, as the Mining Journal pu'.s it,
"heard from the people." The people
sav they want territorial government.
To that end the pe ople will do the thing
most calculated to get them what they
want They will elect the prophc and
effective apostle or territorial gov -n
ment ? former Governor Swinefot'd.
The Ketchikan Mining Journal felic
itates that town upon the figure it cut.
through its delegates, in the late repub
lican convention. George Irving of the
Ketchikan delegation was temporary
and? because he behaved himself so
well as such ? confirmed as permanent
chairman. He proved a very capable
and efficient chairman too, dispatching
the business of the convention prompt
ly and intelligently. When the repub
lican territorial committee came to
effect and organization, following the
adjournment of the convention, Mr.
Irving was made its chairman and
Walter S. Coutant, of Ketchikan,
through its influence, its secretary? the
secretary being a non member of the
committee. According to the Mining
Journal, this organization is taken to
mean that the next republican conven
tion will be held in Ketchikan. Upon
all this the felicitation as expressed
is coming to Ketchikan.
It is a much worn ga g chat when
thing3 are very slow in a newspaper]
way reporters make news to satisfy a
lust for sensation and scoops. This is
for the most . part fiction but there is
nothing truer than that fiction has
nothing that may not be matched by
fact, and here comes a story of two
newspaper reporters of Denver
attempting a daring and well planned
bank robbery and of their failing and
being caught and landed in jail in
the most ordinary, prosaic unsen
sational way- just as it is done in
real life.
The imported military tailor who is
to remodel the uniform of the American
soldier was interviewed when taking
ship for London and expressed for pub
lication the belief that the "American
soldier is the best looking soldier in
the world." At first blush one is in. ?
pelted to think that, however good a
tailor this man may be, his real calling
is the politics. But when one remem
bers {to Jexistence of; the Atlantic cable
and bow that story will look in the
London papers? one shudders for this
blithe tailor on his merry way to merry
England.

Iployes have been held by the grand jury

ments. ? News Despatch.
This is another ami very proper form
of employing the muck rake.
Mrs. Maud Crefleld is quoted in an in
terview as saying: "I believe the Holy
Roller religion-is dead forever." This
is well. It would save killing off those
who profess it.

METHODIST IMJRCII
"Esther Margaret," the new daugh
ter of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Olenk,
of the Methodist church, was baptised
last evening, Rev. JyA. Chapman, of
Ketchikan officiating at the beautiful
little ceremony. Esther Margaret
manifested every sign of pleasure and
satisfaction that the limitations of her
time of life allowed her, touching her
dedication to the way her parents
would have her go.
Rev. Mr. Chapman preached, sub
sequently, a stirring sermcu and, sub
sequent to that, the cjngregatioa held
a social hour with the visiting minister.
Refreshments were served and the
baby was showered with congratula
tions.
Mr. Chapman, who visited the
Methodist churches at Douglas and
Ketchikan previous to coming hear,
congratulated the congregation under
the pastorate of Mr. Gienk upon the
spiritual and other conditions found
here.
