ROOSEVELT IN LIKE
It is stated on (rood authority from
Washington that President Roosevelt
becoming very much impressed with
the demand from Alaska for a territor
ial form of government. He is said to
have admitted the justness of the de
mand, and it is claimed that he will not
longer oppose the consummation of the
desires of the people in that re spec tv
though, it is admitted, he is said to
have declared that he is not entirely
satisfied that the opportune time for it
is just now.
There never has been any doubt
where President Roosevelt would stand
on this matter if it were shown to him
very plainly what the people of Alaska
want and the principles upon which
they base their right to have their
wants granted.
Many things have transpired to indi
cate that Mr. Roosevelt is not as well
grounded in the great fundamental
principles of democratic government as
would be a constitutional lawyer, en
dowed with an equal desire to be right
and equal courage. Certainly he is not
adverse to exercising executive powers
of a plenai y nature that seem incom
patible with the American principles
of government to sticklers for regular
and constitutional procedure. How
ever, he has demonstrated time after
time that he possesses a very strong
and a very acute love of justice, and be
is disposed to see it enthroned at all
times, irrespective of corporate or any
other kind of reactionary powers that
would trample upon it. He is, also,
quick to discern the motives of those
who come to him with plaints.
So, made to know the actual condi
tions in Alaska, it would be very
strange, indeed, if the president did not
give the sanction of his vigorous ap
proval to the just and patriotic demand
that is being made by the i lain
people for a recognition of their
right to self-government. And no man
in tne world is better qualified to im
part the vital information and to convey
a true impression of the disinterest
edness of the American citizenry of this
district than is Gov. Swineford.

The passage of the bill giving Alaska
a delegate in congress is the direct re
sult of the demand the people of this
district are making for territorial gov
ernment. As long as the people con
tented themselves with begging for a
delegate in congress their requests
were denied. The minute they stood
upon their rights and demanded the
recognition of their American citizen
ship senators and representatives were
ready to do something. They will
heed the demand for self-government
whan it shall be properly placed before
the next congress by a regularly elect
ed delegate.
Toe other day the Daily Alaskan con
tai: ed an account of a new calculation,
sho ring a decrease of about 4,000
squ ire miles in the area of Alaska as
con-pared with that accepted as accu
rate at the time of the publ:cation of
of the last edition of Century diction
ary. The decrease is due to the loss on
account of the award of the Alaskan
boundary commission. That much of
southeastern Alaska, previously regard
ed by geographers and others as a part
of Alaska, has been surrendered to
Canada.
Eiihu Root, secretary of state, was
among those who drew retainer's fees
from the Equitable. He received $10.
000 a year, which was subsequently
raised to $25,000, according to a state
made by former Senator David B. Hill.
Lint Back
This ailment is usually caused by
rheumatism of the musles and many be
cured by applying Chamberlain's Pain
Balm two or three ?imea a day and
rubbing the part vigorously at each
application. If this does not afford
relief, bind on a piece of flannel slightly
dampened with Pain Balm, and quick
relief is almost sure to follow. For sale

GUARD IT
The Eye Sh.mll Receive <
Every Consideration
i
The eye Is the most sensitive organ
in the human anatomy, and sight the
most useful of the senses. To neglect
the eye is to endure pain and misery
and to court impaired vision and even
total blindness. The north winds, fill
ed with particles of drifting snow and
ice, and the reflections from sun-kissed
mountaies and wind-swept snow fields,
make a northern winter a time when
every precaution should be taken to
guard the eye. Shou'd nature,
through pain or otherwise, warn you
of approaching danger, by all means
heed the warning. We test the eye
free of charge and furnish glasses,
ground to the point of perfection, to fit
the need disclosed oy science. Our I
prices are reasonable.
Our stock of watches, clocks, glass
ware, silverware, souvenirs, novelties
and jewelry is up-to-date in design, A 1
