While ret resentatives of the p?ople
of Alaska are in convention assembled
at Seattle, praying congress to change
the form of government that obtains in
Alaska for one of the American self
government kind, Gov. Brady, in his
Thanksgiving proclamation, is calling
upon '.he people of the district to give
thanks for the form that we now have.
Gov. Brady can always be depended
upon to show a brutal disregard for
good taste or common decency.
All the papers in the states are com
menting upon the Increased gold out
put for Alaska this year. For the first
time in eight years Alaska has passed
the Canadian Yukon in the production
of the yellow meta'. The best part of
this situation is the absolute certainty
that the increase next year over the
present will be greater than was that
of this year over last, and that each
succeeding year for a long time will see
a repetition of the performance.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer gives
many reasons why the Alaskan conven
tion is being held in Seattle, but none
of them the true reason. The conven
tion is being held in Seattle because it
was called to meet there by the Nome
chamber of commerce and the other
portions of the district fell in line be
cause they wanted the entire district
represented there, if the people of the
entire district hat! been consulted be
fore the call were issued it would not
have been held there at all.
Very recent dispatches say there is
danger of a revolution in Japan on ac
count of the disappointment caused by
the peace agreement between Russia
ami Japan. A cablegram received at
Washington, Nov. 11, said that the gar
rison at Kobe. Japan, consisting of 20,
000 troops just returned from the war,
had revolted on account of dissatisfac
tion with the outcome of the war.
Late dispatches say that Thomas W.
Law son has been arrested for crinuual
libel and will be placed on trial.
Charles W. Barron, publisher of Bar
ron's News Bureau, of Boston, is the
complaining witnesses. Lawson has
written Barron up several times within

C'NE VERSION
P.-I, S?ys Why Convention
Is in Seattle
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
Representative Jones is fearful that
the holding of the Alaska convention in
Seattle at this time may be used as an
argument against granting the district
a full territorial government, to which
it is entitled. Presumably, Mr. Jones
thinks that it will be urged that as the
Alaskans could not hold a convention
within the limits of Alaska, they could
not hold a legislature there.
The argument may be made, but it is
extraardinarly easy to refute. The
time of year in which the present con
vention is being held has had much to
,do with the choice of Seattle as the
place at which to hold it. It was the
leisure season, so far f.s interior Alaska
was concerned: and under the present
conditions of transportation, Seattls is
more coveoiently to be reachetK at this
time of the year than any one place in
Alaska. To insure a good attendance
something has been sacrificed to the
convenience of the delegations.
Seattle does not aspire to be the capi
tal of Alaska. It does not expect ever
to witness another convention of Alas
kans. It has the first convention now,
merely because of the desire to secure
a full attendance and to impose the.
minimum of trouble upon those who
are elected to attend it. It must not be
forgotten that this is purely a voluntary
assemblage: that there is nothing more
than a hope that its deliberations and
conclusions will be accepted as repre
senting the desires of the people of
Al.tska: and to this extent that it is
informal.
It would have been possible to hold
the convention at any one of several
places in Alaska, but it was not consid
er! d advisable to do so, because the
desire was to make it as easy and con
venient as possible for delegates to
attend.

UNCONSCIOUS
BEAUTY
lOrlslna1.]
There was once a kiag whose qucei
had been so vain of her beauty that lif
directed that their only child, a daugh
ter, should be kept froui seeing her
own features as long as nnaslble. The
queen died when the little princess
Henrietta was an infant, and the king
placed her In one of his palates, where
she was brought up In charge of the
Duchess Margaret, her aunt Not n
mirror was permitted iu the palace,
and the king ordered the water in the
artificial lak-s an! basins with which
the spacious grou.ids abounded to be
drawn off for fear the princess should
catch the reflection of her face. From
time to time the duchess was -required
to make reports to the king concerning
her charge.
"The princess is growing to be very
beautiful," the duchess reported when
Henrietta was sixteen years old, "and
Is absolutely' unconscious of her
charms."
"Tell her," replied the king, "that
she is very homely."
The order was obeyed. The prlucess,
tvho up to this time had not thought
of her owu appearance, was "seized
with a desire to see what she looked
like, and the duchess was obliged to
double the obstructions she had thrown
Iu the way of her doiug so. But in
time she began to consider that the
sight of her ugliness would only dis
tress her, and she made a vow never
to sec a reflection of her face.
When she was twenty her father
died suddenly, and she became, queen.
Those near her at once broke the se
cret of her beauty to her, but she
would not believe them. "Now that 1
am qncen you are all disposed to flat
ter me," she said, "and, though I be
ugiler than Medusa, you would make
me believe I am beautiful as Venus."
Her first edict was that any ow being
Instrumental in snowing her her fea
tures should at once be beheaded.
Many neighboring princes p. 'posed
for the hand of the queen, but she, be
lieving in her ugliness, feared that
when they came to see her they would
be shocked, and she would listen to
none of them.
Now the Queeu Henrietta, being a
woman with no strong minister to sup
port her In governing her r^P ; ?3 '
be<ame the prey of several srn '
tlons, whose rulers planned an all ante
1 to Invade her kingdom, conquer it and
divide It anions them. Quf;'"t '.J '
ett i did the best she coukl t ,
tide that set In against her: but hax ms
no general on whom she couk. ? ? ? ^
forces were beaten, and there ?
erv prospect that her kingdom would
soon belong to her covctous neighbors.
j For some time a young officer, Theo
doras. had been rising through merit
alone from one command to another,
and at last the queen decided to ap
uolnt him her general in chief. She
had never seen him. Indeed, sl^knew
nothing of him except what he bad ac
eompllshed in her service.
Meanwhile she was so troubled about
her affairs that no one dared risk being
I instrumental In showingberthatshe
was beautiful Instead of uglj. for
her present mood even the discovery
that she bad been mistaken might bad
?r to deal unmercifully with her lo
former. This as well as the success
