Everyone in Alaska knows that If
i* were under Canadian rule it would '
have local self-sovernment at once. ;
ami that every c*oo? ragemem would
be lent to the development of the j
country and the utilization of its '
resources. Everyone who has looked i
into the situation at all knows furth- ,
er that the wroajrs of the Thirteen
Original Colonies, which led to the
Revolutionary War. avre petty, in- ]
deed, beside the wrongs of the Peo
ple of Alaska, but, save on this coast
no one in the whole country seems to ;
consider that th s amounts to any
thing
? ? ? ? ? ?
While Got. Walter E. Clark, of Al
aska. seems less enthusiastic than
o'hers for a lovaj government in tha:
Territory. I desire to quote from the j
hearitu: on conditions in Alaska held
by the Committee on the Territories
February 6. 1S1C 1 quote from pase
of the report of the hearing in
question, wherv Gov. Clark is quoted
thus
Rut to return to matters in my re*|
port, after leaving these great <jnes
tK?ns of coal and fuel and transpor
tation. I want to urge some of the
minor needs of the Territory. They
are only relatively less important
than these other things, and are in
themselves absolutely important. 1
havt grouped a number of them there
under the head of "Six minor laws "
vJ-jarar.tine. sanitation and public
health registration of vitaj statistics,
supen iskvn of bnr.ks. compulsory
srhool attendance, and relief of des
titute while persons.
Nom. those are provisions that are
tntirriy lacking in Alaska, which 1
suppc*se are afforded to every other
part of thv civilized world. not only
every part under American jurisdict
ion, but every* here in the world
where civilized people live We don't
have these facilities. If we had a
i'val legislative body ? whatever kind
of legislative body it might ><e ? some
of the?ae things could be supplied: a
?reat many of the more important
things could not be because the Ter
ritorial legislature would never have
'he power e pass that sort of law
? ? ? ? ? ?
FWiind all these political consider
ations lie the conditions which can !
be best reached, as I believe, by
local government Important, indeed.^
are quarantine. sanitation, vigilant ,
protection of the public health, school
attendance, and the keeping of vital
statistics. That these necessary
dates have been unperformed in Al

THE DRUGGIST
aska Is proved by the fact that that
country <u>d Its people are suffering
from negligence in these necessary
service*.
I wish every Member of this Hon so.
and indeed every citixen of this coun
try, would read the testimony of
Ptehop Peter T. Howe, of the Episco
pal Church, who is devoting his life
U> the work of relief for the sufferers
in Alaska, whose testimony was civ- i
en at the hearings before the Com
mittee on 'he Territories Janu an- 16.
1912. Bishop Rowe told of the hard
ships endured by certain human be
ings. Indiana and others. In Alaska,1
and of his efforts to raise fnnds for
the establishment of hospitals in
which to do the work of common civ
ilisation, as against leaving God's af
flirted creatures to die from loa'h
some disease, neglect, and abject
poverty. Remembering that such con
ditions are appealing for alleviation
under the Stars and Stripes. 1 can
not imagine this House hesitating f<>r
a moment to extend help.
1 shall not go into the details of
the bishop's testimony ; they are too
awful.
? ? ? ? ? ?
Giv<? Alaska this measure, of le al
government. I can not conceive of
an agency better calculated to in- ;
terest all the people of Alaska in
their Terri'ory than local govern
ment. Give the people there a to ?
ernment of their own. within Fed
eral possibilities in a Territory, ajui
you will do a nation's duty towarl
one of its integral pa:ts.
1 can readily see how * local gov
ernment, rei resenting the wiil a>
well as the patriotism of the peo
ple. shall become its most vigilant
watcher, lest the Territory be e*
ploKod and, above all. lest the h;i
man being whose lot is ca*t there
shall suffer neglect, to tho shame of
a Christian nation.
1 shall n?t discuss the details of
the bill, these havijig been so we. I
presented, both in the bill itself an 1
during this debate. I shall vote for
the passage of the measure, ami !
earnestly plead with the House to
piss the bill as it is
