ALASKA'S HOME RULE DEMAND
Friends of Alaska should be greasy
encouraged by the statement of Dele
gate Cale, sent out from the national
capital, that President Uoosevelt will
recommend a territorial form of gov
ernment for the northern country in
bis message to congress next month.
The President should do so; If he
kaows the situation thoroughly, he
will do so.
Theodore Roosevelt U not the kind
of mao to temporis) with the wicked
Influences which have stood in Alaska's
way. The truth must finally make for
Alaska's good. The greed of time
aerves has already sorely taxed the
patience of American citizens who art'
earnestly and honestly seeking the ma
terial, moral and political welfare of
the northern country; Indeed, they have
reached the point where they cm no
longer compromise with the cohorts of
evil in that portion of thecountry with
out forfeiting the decant consideration
and belp/ul interests of their fellows
elsewhere.
The Juneau delegation was a clear
clean-cut demand. It should serve as
a warning to those who bave persistent
ly stood in Alaska's path. Alaska must
have self-goveroment. The final word
has been spoken on that subject, so far
as decent, self-respecting Alaskans are
coocerned.
Alaskans are standing under the
Amerioan flag; the constitution is at
once the promise and the shield of their {
rights, and corporation conspirators
who have sought to withhold the boon
of local autonomy must either willingly I
abandon their untenable position or be
clubbed into recognition of the just
claims of deccnt American citizens, for
it would be cowardly to further submit
to the tyrannies of corrupt corporate
domination.
If President Roosevelt wishes to
serve the best Interests of Alaska sod
Alaskans, he will press the Issue of
territorial government upon congress,
and congress should not hesitate to con
cede to American citizens in the north
ern country the same rights American
citizens elsewhere have alvravs enjoyed.
Men who have been stacking on unhoh
ground in this matter shou'd seek shelt
er, for the day of reckoning is In sight.
Post-Intelllgencer.
SHE'S GONE
' " " 9
It is reported from New York that
Anna Gould, undeterred by her sal ex
perience with little Castel'ane, will
marry another French rake who bears
the imputation of being the ''wi'dest
man in all Europe." Considering the
manner in which George Gould acted
over the treatment of his sister by
Castellane, this news ought to make
him the "wildest man in all New
York." There is at least one rift in
this cloud that is about to settle over
the imbecile Anna, and that is the fact
that her intended successor tp?Boni is
"unequaled as a spender." If this be
true, he will soon run through with
the remainder of his wife's portion of
the Go Id fortune, and, as it is incoo ?
ceivablc to think of any one, after her
money is spent, living with such a fool
as Anna has sfcown herself to be, we
I shall no longer be bored with tales
I about her and her husbands.
IT IS A HARD TASK
Theodore Shonts has displayed his
ability to dig the Panama canal a ad run
railroads, but like many another man
of great abilities, has proven unable to
dictate as to just the sort of man his
daughters should wed. Mr. Shonts' ad
vice to his three grown daughter*,.
prominent society young women, has
been given considerable promlnenco In
iho pub'.io press, and good, sensible
advice it wat<, Including a strong in
junction to marry Amerio?n men. But
his effort to break up the match bo
tween his daughter, Miss Theodora
Sbonts with the Due de ChtaloM.'a
prcmioent French nobleman, appears
to be unavailing, and the official an
nouncement of their engagement is ex
pected by New York soolety shortly
Verily, It Is easier to connect the seas
than it Is to sever leve.
A PAIR
Mr. P. Auguitui H ?rije, the Pitts
burg millionaire, should join hands
with Howard Gould, for two mor i con
temptible slanderers of womankind
have not been developed in this country
in recent years, Mrs. Hartje has de
feated, at last the attempt of her hus
band to blacken her name and divorce
her, the Pennsylvania Superior Court
last week h firmed the decision of the
lower court which was against Hnrtje.
Nothing thnt has ever been charged
against either Mrs. Gould or Mrs. Hart
je approaches in malignant meanness
and dirty deb*uhery the conduct of
the two men wLo took the oath to "love
cherish and protect" tbem and who are
no# seeking to blacken them in the
eyes of the public. It is a pity there is
so much public laundering of this kind
of dirty linen. "Lo, the poor Indian,"
untamed and igno~ant, with hU squaws
for beasts of burden, treated them like
queens compared with what Mrs, Hart
je and Mrs. Gould are getting from
these modern Indians whose names
they bear.
Noting the absence of deaths during
the games of football played by tin big
colleges the last tew days leads one to
believe that killing a player outright
on the field is becoming a lost art.
If the financial c'oud had come about
ten years ago an oratorical gentleman
in Nebraska could have pointed out
th? silver lining.
It <8 reported that the eovcrnmcnt,
In the event the money is not forthcom
ing, may take over the Jamestown ex
position buildings and use thrm as a
training camp, but not, let us hope, as
a training camp for fair promoters.
THE WAYS OF WOMEN
a Lap' and tor bold fell in love, 1 am
told,
With a maiden who 11 red near the Pole.
Their engagement to ha low, be made
her a tallow
Dlp-oandlo (and went to tho hole,
For there tallow's expensive, and trade
not extensive,
Though some say the tallow he stole).
Said he, "Oh, be miael And this can
dle is thine!"
And right here the real tale was
begun.
She gave blm one coy look, and the
candle she took,
And the man thought his wooing wa9
done.
She sat down on the ice and she ate in a
trice
Hla candle so greasy and yellow and
nice.
When he asked for the wick, she said,
"No, not a lick!
For you gave and I took. That is
Love."
Then she shook
Off the crumbs a* she rose to her feet.
"Glad I met vou," she said. "Can I
get you your sled ?"
And she pointed the way down the
street.
Back to Lapland he 'vent, indeed, he
was sent;
And he sulkily said as be slid,
"Of all the bold minxes!
She's sharp as the lynxei!
Tne game's not worth the candle I'll
sklol"
Which he did.
