PEOPLE SHOULD PAY.
A movement is oa foot at Juneau and
Ketchikan to raise the money with
which to defray the expenses of Gov.
Swine.'ord to Washington. The people
should see to it that the movement
spreads to cover all of southeastern
Alaska and that the money is forth
coming in amp'e amount. Gov. Swine
ford is not a rich man in the possession
of world's treasurers, and it is unfair
that ha be asked to take from his own
pocket the money necessary to make it
possible for him to battle in the pub
lic's interest at the national capital. It
is enough to ask him to devote his time
and energy to that purpose. In under
taking to be a delegate at all he has
conferred a favor upon the people that
they should and will not soon forget.
He is now passed the three score and
ten years allotted to man on earth and
is not in the best of health. Ue has de
voted the years he has spent in Alaska
for Alaska's good. He has already
given this district more hard service
than any other man in it. The people
are gratef j1 for what he has done and j
doubly grateful for what he has under
taken to do. They should be glad of
the opportunity of contributing enough
money to pay his expenses while he is
at WashingtJn. That will be a much
smaller duty for the entire district
than Gov. Swineford has permitted to
be imposed upon himself all alone.
DICK RYAN ALL RIGHT.
It will cause much pleasure to those
citizens of Alaska, who have labored
long to have the rights o ( American
citizenship extended to residents of
Alaska, to know that the newspaper
men of Seattle have misunderstood the
position of Dick Kyan on the question
of territoral government for this dis
trict and that he will co-operate with
the other delegates on that matter, as
on all others upon which the conven
tion passed. It is probably wise that
he has agreed not to interfere with the
question of territorial government un
til the arrival of Gov. Swineford at
Washington, for the reason that there
is no man in the district so well quali
fied as Gov. Swineford to present that
matter intelligently to congress. Ilec
Oftnizicg this fact, the other delegates
have agree J to advance Gov. Swineford
as the leader of the delegation, and as
such he will make the question of self
government paramount.
Sir He ry Campbell-Sannerman, the
liberal leader in the British parlia
ment, has been requeued to form a
government to succeed that of Arthur
J. Balfour, the conservative leader,
wh:ch has resigned. Mr. Campbell
Bannerman will probably accept, but
it is likely that the first thing he will
do will be to call tn election to take
place as sooc as preparations can be
made for it. It will be the first liberal
ministry since that of Lord lioseberry.
which resigned July 2, 189". li is gen
erally belie7i d, howeve- . that the lib
eraisj will be success'ui ^a! th* ne.\t
election and that .Mr. Carapbell-Bac
nerman will lead a government that
will have a majori'y behind it, The tariff
question will be the issue 1.1 the com
ing campaign ar.d the liberals will rep
rereDt the free trade side of the
question.

Ryan All Right On Self
Goverament Qaestiou
Got. A. P. Swlneford, who has re
turned from the Seattle convention,
says a mistaken idea has been conveyed
by the press as to the attitude of Dick
Ryan, of Nome, toward the question of
territorial government for Alaska. Mr,
Ryan is for everything for which the
Alaska convention stood, according to
Gov. Swineford, heart and soul as are
the other delegates to Washington.
In an interview given a representa
tive of the Daily Alaskan at Juneau,
Gov. Swineford said it was the under
standing among the delegates that Mr.
Ryan would not present the question of
territorial government to congress until
the arrival of the other delegates.
Mr. Ryan feels that Governor Swine
ford, because of his long residence in
Alaska, and because of his identification
with the movement for territorial gov
ernment, is the best qualified man in
the district to present the arguments
for territorial governmtnt and to him
has been assigned that duty.
A movement is on foot at Juneau and
Ketchikan to raise a fund with which
to pay the expenses of Gov. Swineford
to Washington. It will probably ma
teralize so that the representative of
southeastern Alaska will get away for
the national capital about the first of
the year, so that he will be on the
ground at the beginning of the actual
work of the session after the Christmas
holidays.
Capt. O. J. Humphrey, the third divi
sion delegate to Washington, has an
nounced that he will place himself
under the command of Gov. Swineford
at once upon the arrival of the dele
gates at Washington and he will work
under the direction of the "old war
horse" of Southeasetrn Alaska from
the beginning to the end.

Mrs. Jennings looked through her
glasses at her sister, Miss Sprawle,
with considerable severity. "This
neighborhood has got into strange
ways the last few years, or else I no
tice it more as I get further along,"
she said, "and lest I .should get into
Ihe same way I want you to remind
me now and then. Mary.
"If you find me backbiting like that
hateful, stingy Annabel I'owtler or

her own saucy, bad mannered girl, and

close fisted like the minister's wife,
that has never returned the cupful of

"And that's not all," said Mrs. Jen
nings as Miss Sprawle opened her
mouth to speak. "If you find me get

asked me three times when my birth
day comes and what year I was born
after my having to go to the town
records to find out her age, I want you
to mention it freely, and I shall do the

A TOUCH OF NATURE.
Pathetic Story of a Mother of th*
Labrador Coaxt.
Writing of the people of the Labra
dor coast. In Harper's Magazine. Nor
man Duncan tells a pathetic story of
a poor mother whom he met sitting
with her child outside the Battle Har
bor hospital:
" 'He"ve always been like that.' she
said. 'He's wonderful sick. I've fetch
ed un out here t' pet the air. He doos
better In the air, zur,' she added;
'much, much better.'
" 'He'll be getting better," said I
'Here In the hos'?
" 'He'll die,' she Interrupted quickly.
"I was glad that he was to die. It
would be better for him and for her.
She would forget bis deformity; she
would forcer have the memory of
him l>lng warm upon her breast,
warm and lovely; for. In this, memory
Is kind to women.
?"You have? another?'
" 'No, zur; 'tis me first'
"The child stirred and complained
She lifted him from her lap, rocked
him. hushed him, drew him close,
rocking him all the time.
" 'And does he talk ? I asked.
"She looked up in a glow of pride
and answered me, flushing gloriously,
while she turned her shining eyes once
more upon the gasping babe upon her
breast:
" "He said "mamma," once"
"i 1 so the I-abrador 'llvevere' Is
ktn with the whole wide world."
Itarber* In Europe.
"A sure way to break yourself of th?
habit of going to a barber shop to get
shaved Is to travel in Europe," said a
man who has traveled. "I remember
that when I first went to Europe I
thought that I would never be able to
learn to shave myself and that I was
helpless so fur as this was concerned.
I didn't finish my trip through Europe
before I took up shaving, and now I
shave myself all the time. The barber
shops in Europe, except in England
and a few of the larger cities, are the
worst of their kind In the world. There
are n > modern conveniences and mighty
tittle of a sanitary nature. The chairs
are uncomfortable, and the barbers are
Indifferent about how they shave you
or what they do with you. They placn
a big bowl in your lap, and when they
have finished with you the supposition
is that you will wash your own face in
the bowl. There Is none of the little
luxuries we have over here in the way
of bay rum. witch hazel, hot towels,
hot water, etc. The American barber
shops are the neatest and cleanest in
the world, without exception."? Wash

Mexico'* Hot Pepper Seller*.
The hot pepper seller of Mcxico Is
a merchant who derives his livelihood
from the fact that the Mexican must
have his peppers, whatever else he may
deny himself. They are brought to his
door by the countryman, or he tuay go
to the market place and find them
spread out for sule on matting. The
market man, while dressed inexpen
slvely as far as his bodily garb is con
cerned, wears in nearly every Instance
an elaborate head covering.
Some of these Mexicans own hats
that cost as much as the rest of their
wardrobe. The pride of the white man
In his pauama Is not to be compared to
that of the Mexican in his sombrero
It Is a racial characteristic which fiuds
Its counterpart in the apron of the
Portuguese onion seller. Her occupa
tion may be lowly, but her apron might
be that of a woman of higher degree.
