ALASKA'S WISE DOCTORS
When the president and Senator
Beveridge put together their original
Alaska commission bill they knew
all that was worth knowing about
Alaska. At least that is the dictum
slipped to the public by their press
agents.
The bill went to committee to be
railroaded through the way vigilantes
hang a horse thief. It was regarded
by the president and senator as a
work of art and looked as innocent to
them as one of those striped kittens
on the prairie appears to a stranger
who has never been introduced
When the bill got into committee
somebody kicked it and people began
to hold their noses.
The original bill ? and Lord, what
an original thing it was ? expressed
the unhappy dreams of its founders
in 282 lines. The president refused
lo consult the delegate from Alaska
because that undesirable citizen
couldn't tell him anything about (he
territory. He had already learned ull
he wanted to know from the lobbyist^
But there was a hearing in commit
tee. The Senator from Indiana
heard a lot which induced him to
change his bill so that it carried rnoie
patches than original cloth. Of the
282 lines 129 remained unscratched.
79 had been sponged off the slate. 04
had been mutilated aud 124 new lines
had been inserted. Th*> iu u.i.i? i

rial legislature. And the end is not
yet. Western senators are kicking
the stuffing out of the bill on the
floor of the senate.
If the president and Senator Bever
idge ever come to Alaska they will
learn more about the country in a
week than they knew when they con
cocted the bill.? Seward Gateway.
O'CONNOR IS A CANDIDATE.
Last month a meeting of laboring
men was held at Fairbanks and Wil
liam O'Connor was nominated as a
candidate for delegate to congress on
the union labor ticket.
Mr. O'Connor was a blacksmith and
has practiced law. At present he is
th? mouthpiece for the Western Fed
eration of Labor

which he will ask for the people's
vote:
Territorial form of government Is
favored.
Declares against -alienation of coal
lands, favoring reservation that peopl
may lease such lands.
Declares for mine Inspection law.
Demands lien law to Insure collec
tion of wages by laborers.
Declares strongly in favor of Inter
state commerce laws regulating
rivw traffic and rates.
Favors setting aside coal lands for
school and educational purposes.
Urges amendments to mining laws
with respect to association claims
and power otf attorney, and for strict
er regulation.
Favors the enforcement of anti
gambling laws.
Favors enforcement of laws regu
lating saloons.
Is opposed to political influence
of saloons in territorial and municipal
politics.
Declares for strict laws regulating
fisheries, favoring imposition of a tax
OB fisheries employing cheap Orien
tal labor to the detriment of Iudians
and others 011 the coast.
