Soar* If there is anything that
makes this creat American R?p?b
1k fivinn a- the fill*, it is the kill
tng. mamni-s, swearing at or being
imp? rtinetit to a federal bear. A
ragged old sriwlj full of huckle
bo tries is as sacred to congress as
the hump-backed Zebu is to an
Kwi Indian
In the recent Territorial bill con
terras has granted home-rule, free |
speech ? nil liberty of consclcnce to'
these tailless and plantigrade-footed
sneaks of the forest, but restricted
the citUenahip to keepers of the
federal menagerie.
In Kgypt the custom has be,-n to
embalm the sacred animals and
tuck them away with the dead
in a .'edar box that looks like a
i
totem pole. What Alaska needs is
a return to that blessed custom.;
We have plenty of animals in Alas
ka that need deifying and congress'
is well supplied with mummy ma
terial. ,
The prraent delegate campaign
has progressed so far without much
abuse and wilful misrepresentation.
The delegates have been generally
fair, due perhaps to the fact that
they are til Wlekersham men at
he*rt. but hare wandered from the
right paths In the selfish scramble
for of flee. The old gang has seen
it was a mistake to threaten and
use force ? The last e'eotlon show
ed that the people of the north
don't scare easily Then the op
position to Wlekersham is such a
half hearie.1 affair th-?t they haven't
l>elle" enough in their own canrtl
es to evaii formulate a slander
i hat sounds like the truth.

"but mi{i mothah's cousin she died,

mistress, angry that she should tell her
such a tale at such an Inopportune
time. "If that's all yon hare to say to
me you can lenre the room and don't
come In again. I dont want to hear |

wished to ameliorate her 111 chosen
story, so she thought for a moment j
