NOT TALKINGI OF ALASKA
i i ??
Mr. Bryan said the other day, when
discussing what politicians had said of
his reception speech, that he cared
naught (or what politicians want. "Let
me know," he said, "what the people
want today and I will tell you what the
politicians will want tomorrow."
But, Mr. Bryan, you never lived in
Alaska where the people are disfran
chised. We have politicians up here
tha t would disappear like snow balls toss
edinto hades if the people had a whack
at them. They care more for a smooth
working, underground connection with
Washington city than they do for the
voice of the people. But Mr. Bryan
spoke truth. Let the people have
the power of the ballot in their
hands and politicians, insofar ss
their public utterances are con
cerned, are usually on their side
Let the people of Alaska be given self
government and there will be a greater
disposition on the pirt of politicians
to please them.
Two or three tory papers, represent
ing causes that were defeated by the
people at the polls by two or three to
one, have said that the vote of Alaska
at the recent election has indicated the
necessity for a division of the district.
The facts are quite the reverse. The
vote has shown >hat the people of the
three ,'udicial divisions are in perfect
accord. The people of Southeastern
Alaska voted for the same thiDgs for
which those of the interior and north
west voted. Thomas Cale, for the long
term delegateshiD, carried all three [
divisions. Gov. Swineford, who carried
the Southeast for the short term, and
Frank Waskey, who carried the otlur
two divisions, stood for the same prin
ciples.

The Ketchikan Journal, presided I
over by the chairman and secretary
of the republican central committee,
thosej scintillating political genii
who managed to secure about
one-fifth of the votes of their
town for the republican ticket, s?ys the
people of Alaska do not favor territor
ial government but that all the candi
date* for delegate pretended to .avor it
in order to get the votes Now, if that
it not a prize winner! If the majority
of the people are opposed to territorial
government why were the platform
makers not afraid of driving away votes
instead of catching them when they |
wrote the self-government planks into J
their declarations of principles'.'' That
argument (?) is about what one would
expect from the men who have "manag
ed" the republican party of Alaska.
Stattleites are fighting the issues
that will be decide by another election.
They will vote next Wednesday on the
question of municipal ownership of
their street car lines, and a very stren
uous ante-election campaign they are
having of it. The registration is larger
by something like 2,001' than was that
for the very closely contested munici
pal election last spring. The vote is
likely to be very close. The conviction
that the proposition will carry is
spreading. This conviction is becom
ing mote fiied because of the precau
tions the people will take to prevent
cheating. The stuffing of the ballot
boxes last soring has caused an awaken
ing among the people.
There is something out of joint in
Uncle Sam's mail service when a pas
senger steamer of the class of the
Humboldt, and running on a fast ached
u'.e, comas to Alaska every 10 days for
month after month without mail. It
hat been said before but it will bear
repeating that every passenger steam
er coming from Puget sound to Alaska
should carry mail. The people of this
district ar? contributing enough in
the way of direct taxes and commercial
pnstige to the states to entitle them to
lb.it.
Fall and winter cravanettes, and
winter suitings at Harrison's.
The Fifth Avenue dining rocm is
open to the public. It has been reno
vated and is the largest and handsomest
in the city, and the service is the best.
Senator Knox says when Bryan de"
clared for povernment ownership of
railways, he put his foot in it. No one
would expect Senator Knox to say any
thing else.

pain. From the many liniments I carry
