EDITORIAL PAGE
Skag way's souator has a member
ship on the committee of public mor
als, therefore we have a right to ex-,
pect that he will display the same
zeal in spreading those high ideals
and esthetic virtues, through legis
lative enactments, as has hitherto
characterised his accomplishments
iu municipal afalrs.
When congress granted a terri
torial government or Alaska, there
was a general cry that it was too
restricted to amount to anything,
and the governor In his message
has taken up the cry and pretends
to feel sorry that there is not more
liberty in a measure the doctrines
of which he has fought ever since
coming up here to govern us.
It now develops that our legisla
ture has the right to do hundreds of
tilings for the betterment of the ter
ritory, and the bills that are being
framed are more numerous than
will probably be passed at this
session.
Whatever else the legislators do,
Ihey had better carry out their pre
election promises, if they ever want
to hold another elective office in
Alaska. They made their campaign
upon the unequivocal promises that
they would work for an eight hour
law. for the abolition of the fish
trap ? not three or a do*en years
hence ? but now; that they would
grant the women of Alaska the
right to vote and take their lawful
and rightful place in the perpetua
tion of a government under which
they must live.
The campaign promises are still
fresh in the minds of the voters ?
ninety per cent of mhom can repeat
them from memory. Those promises
were not the acts of one political
party, but of all. Some of the
elected senators and representatives
are trying to fiud a means of post
poning the enactment of the prom
ised laws which won them their
seats, but the members are so few
In number that it is not difficult
to keep track of their actions. If
they side-step, they are politically
lost.
Alaska wants an Australian bal
lot law cuacted. That was anoth
er promise which must be fulfilled.
It is due to the voters to dig UP
the platforms of the Home Rule
and Non-Partisan parties and re
read them Then write to the mem
bers and tell them that they are
expected to keep their promises
The kings of Norway, Swbden
and Denmark recently met in Stock
holm and signed a treaty binding
the three nations to keep out of the
international complications. They
placed their countries on record
as strictly neutral. They agree a
mong themselves that they will take
no hand and exhibit no signs of sym
pathy or good will, in caso of
trouble in Europe, no matter who
may be fighting. There has been
in each of the three countries an
effort made to get the Scandana
vlan klugdoms to join in offensive
and defensive alliance with ..one of
the two great groups of European
powers, the German-Austrlan
Italian combination or the British.
French and Russian alliance. The
treaty just ratified is the outcome
o?" that agitation and the answer to
it.
Ravens and crows are believed to
hold courts of justice to mete out
punishmeut to offenders. Some
times they assemble in great num
bers as if they would give dignity
tc the occhsion. The trial some
times apparently endures for many
days. Some birds sit at the con
clave with lowered heads, some
merely cock their heads on the
branches snd look grave, while
others are most garrulous and fill
the air with their complaints. Nat
uralists studying these strange pro
ceedings have seen an apparently
selected number of birds fall upon
one or more of their number, at
he close of the "trial," and put
them to death, after which they dis
perse in orderly fashion and go back
quietly to their nests. ? Harper's
