IT MUST BE SO
The Juneau Record insist that
Alaska Is a district and not a terri
tory. In commenting on the subject
the Valdez Prospector has this to say
Congress in 1906 passed a law which
provides for enacting the clause:
"That the people of the territory of
Alcska shall be represented by a Del
egate In the House of Representa
tives'."
Section 12 of the delegate act cre
ates a canvassing board for the "ter
ritory." Section 13 of the same act
prescribes certain duties for "each
commissioner In the Territory of
Alaska."
Such ignorance on the part of Con
gress would be inexcusable if you
fail to remember htat on May 6. 1906
the Juneau Record had not begun
the campaign of education to show
that Alaska is only a district, and
Gov. Clark had not put the district
brand upon the province.
As a further excuse for its ignor
ance Congress had the Judicial find
ing of the supreme court that "Alas
ka is one of the territories of the Un
ited States." without the Juneau Rec
ord in the other end of the scale to
tilt the ultimate Judicial tribunal sky
ward. At that time probably neither
Congress nor the supreme court had
ever run across the dictum of the I
Record.
But what possible apology can
President Taft offer for writing of th
"Territory of Alaska" In his annual
message after the Junau Record ar.ri
Gov. Clark had turned on the light.
He puts himself in the Sairy Gamp
class since it has become clear that
"there alnt no slch person" as the
territory of Alaska.
HOWDISHELL IS DEFIANT.
The mayor of Douglas has written
a letter to the editor of the Miner
Id which he rattles off a lot of stuff
about how "1 invited Wickersham"
and "I invited Shackleford and some
for him" and "I called the meeting"
andn "1 invited Shackleford and some
miners and newspaper men and pre
varicators." The mayor then says
"I would like to meet the editor of
the Miner face to face. I would tell
him what I though of him, and make
him swallow his false statements."
Gee! what a picket fence of pro
noun* this eat-'em-alive Bosco throws
out. He fairly stutters out his I-I-Is.
he is so angwy. All of this comes
of our having compared his treatment
of a distinguished guest with that of
the gentlemanly mayor of Ketchikan.
This chaw-'em-up mayor shows his
training in this letter. Having nothin
in the way of argument to bolster up
their cause, the foreign rule crowd
resorts to bluff and brass knuckles.
Of course this mayor doesn't really
intend to make us swallow anything.
That's just one of his profound argu
ments for gang rule. ? Ketchikan Min

SUPERIOR METHODS.
WERE 1 managing the show
Let me (ell you what I'd
do.
I would engineer things so
Human jovs should not be
few.
Neither should they be on call
Mainly then (or the elite.
But should open be to all
Parquet. box and gallery seat.
Were I running everything
There'* no reasonable doubt
All the seasons should be spring.
Winter should be put to rout.
Trouble should not get a chance.
No. not in a hundred years.
To Intrude upon romance
With Its horrid doubts and fears.
Were 1 running things awhile
I should work with might and main.
Put the rollers under guile,
, Free the world from grief and pain.
WUh these skidded out of sight.
K?r from homes and haunts or men.
Sweetness, happiness and light
Should come to their own again.
