NO TIME FOR ABSTRACT
POLITICS
So far as the people of Alaska are
concerned, the issues which divide the
voters of the nation at large into dem
ocrats, republicans, prohibitionists,
etc.. etc., are purely academical. The
conditions here are as they were in the
American colonies before the Revolu
tion War^-yea, they are worse. Like
as were the American colonials, we arc
taxed without representation, but
worse than they we are denied local
self-government. In those days when
the spirit of '76 was abroad, there were
only two parties with the American
people? patriots and tories. That is
the case in Alaska today? we have pat
riots and tories? and the attempt of the
politicians and place hunters to force a
division on artificial and abstract lines
will be laughed down in derision, as it
should be.
There is no room in Alaska for David
B. Hills with their high sounding "I
am a democrat" phrases; or for the
Senator Allisons with their "for the
good of the party" compromises, or for
any other cheap, political palaver|which
means nothing. (in Alaska, at least.)

The only issue before the Alaskan
people that is worth while, is the ques
tion of self-government. Let us have a
republican form of government and all
other questions will solve themselves.
Gov. Swineford is the personification of
Alaska's demand for self-government.
He has labored for it in season and out,
since 1SS5. His electiou as delegate to
congress would testify to the earnest
ness of the peoples desire to make and
administer their own laws in an Amer
ican way as nothing else could.
In withdrawing from the race lor
delegate to congress as soon as it be
came evident that circumstances would
not permit him to serve the cause for
which he stands, Mr. Wildt followed
the open and frank course which he
set for himself when he announced his
candidacy. When he announced his
candidacy he told the people what he
stood for, and when he withdrew it was
in favor of the "foremost representa
tive of the cause of home rule" in the
district.
The sympathy of all Alaska will go
out to Fairbanks, the lusty young giant
that is challenging the older towns of
the district for the first place in the
procession of Alaskan municipalities,
and to her wide-a-wake, courageous
and patriotic people in their hour of
affliction. The loss to her citizens by
Tuesday's fire is appalling, but it will
be overcome by the spirit that has
made a city of Fairbanks in so short a
time.
The politician says, "I am a good re
publican (or democrat, as the case may
be) and I believe it is a time that all
^ood republicans (or democrats) should
stand together, shoulder to shoulder, for
the good of our great and glorious
country, etc., etc., ? !" How grandly,
magnificently and patriotically ? sonor
ous.' In the much over worked phrase
of the Frenchman, "It is to laugh.

dist church will have a sale of fancy

It la Daogsroaa to Neglect a cold
How often do we hear it remarked:
"It's only a cold," and a few days later
learn that the man is on his back with
pneumonia. That is ol suca common
occurrence that a cold, however slight,
should not be disregarded. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy counteracts any
tendency of a cold to result in pneu
monia, and has gained its great popular
ity aod extensive tale by its prompt
cures of this most common ailment. It
Always cures and is pleasant to take.
