AN ELECTIVE LEGISLATURE
On Fob. H Senator Frazier of Ten
nessee Rave notice on the floor of the
Senate that if the Bevexidge bill was
over seriously considered he would
;?mend by making the Alaska legLs
lature elective.
On that occasion Senator Frazier
said:
Mr. Frazier. The fact is that the
Delegate from Alaska did appear be
fore the committee and did present a
bill. He introduced it in the House
and he presented it to our committee.
It was a bill giving a legislature elect
??d by the peple.
Mr. Beveridge. Elected by the peo
pie of course.
Mr. Frailer. And with many re
^'rictions which were not embodied in
this bill evenafter it was attended to
by the committee. The Delegate pre
sented to the committee a great deal
of evidence tending to show at least
that the people of Alaska want a bill
similar to the one which he intro
duced and advocated. Ho presented to
the committee the platform resolu
tions of the Republican convention
which nominated him as delegate, and
of an either Republican body, Indepen
i nt Republicans, and also of the Dem
ocrats. all of those political bodies
indorsing a territorial form of govern
ment with an elective legislature. He
also presented before the committee
a great deal of evidence showing that
the public press of that territory are
almost unanimous In opposition to
this bill and In favor of a territorial
torm of government with an elect
ive legislature. 1 have in my posses
sion here telegrams from various or
ganizations. both industrial organiza
tions and municipal organizations, an
from mayors of towns in Alaska, pro
toting against the passage of this bill.
I think the Senator from Idaho
(Mr. Borah) was well within the fact
when he stated that 90 per cent of
the white people of Alaska are oppos
ed to the passage of this bill, and
if. when the bill is reached for con
sideration. the Senate has any doubt
about it I will present evidence oi
that fact.

CONDITIONS NEED CHANGING
President Taft says that the tariff
is all right, that the republican party
x all right, and that everything is
all right. People who are paying
abou' three prices for the necessities
of life may be pardoned for not en
tirely agreeing with the genial chief
??xecutive. We are just pessimistic
??nough to declare that everything is
all wrong, all right, and if conditions
iuv not changed, a democratic presi
dent will occupy the seat of honor
as soon as the American voters get
a chance to say a word. ? Seward

HOW PAPERS GET RICH
,Vn exchange recently received the
following unique letter.
"Send me a few copies of the pa
per which has the obituary and vers
?>s about the death of ray child a
week ago. You will publish the en
closed slip about my niece's marriage
and 1 wish you would mention in
your local columns that my wife will
be at home Thursdays: and. if it
don't cost any thing, that I am going
to give a concert and hat my bro
ther Bill has a few extra bull calves
to sell. Send a couple of extra copies
of the paper this week, but as my
time is out you can stop my paper,
as times are too hard to waste mon
ey on newspapers."
SOLVING A PROBLEM.
The Green Country Brakeman Who In
troduced the "Saw By."
Mnny years ago n green country boy
applied to tin- superintendent of a
western railway for work and, some
what against the superintendent's
wish, ou account of the dauber to life
aud limb attendant upou such occupa
tion. was given a place as brakemau
of a freight train.
Ou one of lil - tlrst trips it happened
that his train met another freight
train at a station where the sidetrack
was uot long enough to accommodate
either of them. The conductors were
debating which train should back up
to a polut where they could pass when
the new hand ventured to suggest that
neither should back: that they could
pass each other by means of the short
sidetrack If the thing was managed
right.
The idea excited a good deal of
laughter on the part of the old train
men, but the boy stood his ground.
"Well, how would you go about it?"
asked one 'of the conductors, confident
?hut ?h(? hid would soon lind himself
ngalust a stump.
The lioy took up a 8tlck aud traced
In the sand n diagram to Illustrate his
plan.
"Good gracious!" said the conductor.
"I believe that will do It!"
Aud It did do It. Today every train
man In America probably knows how
to "saw by" two long trains on a short
nldetrack. but It Is not so generally
known that the thing was never done
uutll an Inexperienced country boy
who became the manager of n great
railway line worked out the problem
for himself.
