ON STANDING TOGETHER
Alaskans must stand together and
dght for the riifhts of Alaska says a
Juneau paper. That is true- la unity
there Is streangth. But the fact of the
matter is Alaskans are standing to
gether. With the exception of u few
Tories who are without the pale,
Alaskans are united in a fight for sjlf
government, which offers the only
meaut whereby Alaskans can get con
trol of the'.r own affairs, and gain
freedom from the non-residents and
those who spend only a portion of the
year In the North.
And right here is a point: Because
a few Juneau Torie3 are asking the
remainder of the District to stand with
them in begging an appropriation now
and again from congress for Alaskans?
to be selected by a Tory official? to ex
pend, while they ignore the battle that
the peop'e from Ketchikan to Nome die
waging for their rights as Americans,
it must not be understood that Sou'h
eaj'ern Alaska :s not in harmony with
the prevailing sentiment elsewhere
Southeastern Alaska is one with the
other ?ectloas of the ist ict ia spite > f
the atiempts of the governor and uiher
Tories to make it different. The peop
of Southeastern Alaska, IN LUDINU
THOSE OF JUNEAU, s and for ?. If
government as stand those of Nook
Fairb uks and Seward. They stand
today where tbev st-xxi last Angus'
when >hey gave GjV S^sfori m.i
Thomas Cale large m ijorities for
congress supporting toe platform 'h i:
prevailed to the remotest corner jf tin
North.
All that !s required on the part of the
Alaskan people is work. They tnuji
strengthen the bands oi their repre
sentative In congress by every possible
means. Let th m line up bebind Mr.
Cale and give hitn the support tUat he
might require and all will be well.
HOME RULE U..1NS GOVERS
BEST BY PERMANET
RESIDENT
Only by gaining self-government will
It be possible to place the men whose
homes are in Aiaski? the men who
live In the district 12 months of the
Tear, the men who support the school
and churches and maintain self-govern
ment in a dozen thriving municipali
ties?on guard. So long as we are gov
erned from Washington that long wi l
the men who stay at home and uttecd
to their business be at the n.ercy of the
non-reiident exploiters; the profession
al lobbyists and specisl-privilege-seek
Ing capitalists who are able to semi
their attorneys to the national capital.
Do not make a mistake about this
matter. Gov. Hoggatt's "ideal govern
ment" ia in the interest of the "bird of
passage," the man whom President
Roosevelt inveighed against when be
condemned htm who would "skin the
district and leave it" and bestowed his
econiums upon the perm nent home
building resident.
The announcement of Gov. Folk th n
be la for 3ryao for president disposes
of the attempt of Roger Sullivan,
Thomas Ryan ?nd others to trate on
the popularity of the Mlssourian ,n an
attempt to slap William J Bryan.
Former Gov.Douglas, of Massachusetts,
had already declared for Bryan, aua
even offered to run for governor of
Massachusetts if the people thought
that would he p the Xebraskan's
ohaocea to win the eleotlon
The only platform on which Alaskans
oan all stan-1 harmoniousy is one de
mand ng self government. Thst is an
an issue tbat is suffiou ntly broad anu
strong to holu the emp o?er and th>
employee, fie mitn-r acu the merchant,
the artisan and th* profe-siocal man.

A Story of Old
New York.
w ??
[Original]
There ore parts r;f New York, where
the better classes of the early Inhabit
ants once lived, now being torn down 1
to make way for business blocks. One 1
of I lie last to be demolished was the
Van (Seukln hor.se, originally built In
what was then the country.
In the early part of the nineteenth
century this house was already more
than U<0 years old. Pausing the door
way. with windows at each side and
an arched one above? a uuiversal con
struction during the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries? one would enter
a large square apartment from which
j staircase, ttirni at right angles, led
to the second story Directly opposite
the door, bet . 'ecu the tirst and second
?ingle, was a window of stained glass.
Ouly the family occupying the house
knew that It was stained, because a
curtaiu was always kept over It. Why
this was done 110 one seemed to know,
it was a tradition of the family that
the window must be kept covered.
One hot summer uight- II was about
18*J0? A tine van Geukiu and Robert
Wry n. a young uaval officer who had
seen service in the war of 1S12, were
sitting in this apartment, which was
the liviug rooui of the. family. Miss
van (ieukiti was the sole prospective
heir to her parents' estate, and they
had set their hearts on her marrying
Hubert van Genkln, a descendant of
another branch of the family, wjio
possessed a farm ou the northern ??lid
of Manhattan Island, already proiuis
Ing to be or considerable vnuie. in
deed. today it Is worth miliums. Hut
Anne's heart had been exchanged for
th;ii of yoiinu' I.leutenaut W'ryn, ifhd
the match with her relative was re
puisive to her. Nevertheless, having;
been brought tip to obey her parents In
such matters, as girls were In those
days, she had no thought of refusing
them In this Instance. Besides, she
realized the Importance of doubling
tire family wealth and knew that W'ryn
had nothing but his pay In the navy.
One evening W'ryn was pleading a
hopeless cause. Anue was Arm in her
determination to carry out the plan
laid down for her.
"1 have used every argument." said
W'ryn at last, "aud have uo more to
brltig forward. W'e sail. If the w i ml Is
1 1 ? r. tomorrow for the Mediterranean.
i'al when I return 1 hope 1 never
?s&H It return -you will belong to au
jther."
"You have not used every argu
ment." said the girl. "There is oue
tint N known only to the members of
tli s family, and that Is only a tra
"What Is It?"
"That a Van (jienkin shall not ninrry
* V:'ii Genlcin."
"And why?"
"1 don't know. Two Van (ienklu
brothers came to America u century
and a half ngo. Something occurred
between them to give rise to this tra
dition."
There wtts a pause iu t^e conversa
tion. The lieutenant was thinking
how lie might use this information to
i 'J vantage, the girl brooding over hav
ing to_ act contrary to her wishes. A
storm was gathering without.
"?ih, for a breath of air!" Anue ex
claim. 'il, swinging her fan.
"I'm going up the staircase to oi>en
the w indow."
"You can't."
"I can try."
W'ryn weut up to the window aud
beg in a series of Jerks to open it. lie
failed to do so. but the curtain that
covered it. old aud rotten, suddenly
came tumbling down. Satisfying him
self that the window was screwed to
the casing, he gave up the attempt and
rejoined Miss Vuu Genkin.
The storm broke with great vio
lence. The front door stood ajar, aud
a gust of wind blew It wide open, at
the same time extinguishing every
candle in a candelabra standing on a
table. There came a vivid flash of
lightning.
1110 lovers were im iuS iuc
ami saw a sight that froze the very
mui-ritw In their bones. In the blasts
w as a 11 jure of a man in the old Dutch
costume of two centuries before. He
was falling backward with a poniard
in his side, from the wound of which
spurted a red stream. Before liini
stood the man who had slalu him.
The portraits of both men hunt' u" the
walls in the Van Genkin manor house.
They were the two brothers who came
to America when Manhattan Island
was sold by the Indians to the white
men. The one who was slain was the
ancestor of Anna, the one who slew
him the ancestor of Herbert van (Jen
kin. There was but an Instant's Il
lumination, then darkness. Anne
sprang Into the arms of Robert Wryu.
The next morning the sun shone
brightly. Wryu went to the manor
house to take leave before sailing of
Anne van Genkin. The curtain bad
not been put again over the stained
window, and he was surprised to see
nothing of the scene that had turned
the scales In his favor the night be
fore. Insteud were simply colored
panes giving no picture at all. He
was thinking that the revelation must
have been supernatural when Anne
came down the staircase and, seeing
the wonder on his face, said:
"Father has told me all. The sou of
my murdered ancestor, his mind un
balanced by the crime, had the win
dow made iu Holland with a picture
of the murder In the glass, requiring
a strong light to bring it out Father
considers It all so many generations
back not to be a bar between tne two
branches of the family. But now Unit
I know It and could not bring myself
to marry a Van GenUln he will not
Insist and haa given his consent to our
union. KLI.SK B. HARRISON.
