FOR ALASKA DAY.
Resolutions passed at a meeting of
Alaskans in this city, the speeches
made by Mayor .Miller and others,
and the messages received from Al
aska communities, show, in an elo
quent way. the popularity of the suk
Krstlon that one day be set aside as
Alaska day in the city of Seattle.
Alaska's more pressing needs are
reasonably well known. The needs
emphasized at the meeting held In
this city are urgent, and every effort
should be made to convince congress
of the fact.
The request that congress be urged
to appropriate $1,000,000 with which
to build a trunk wagon road system
from Valde/ to Noni.\ "via the Tan
ana and Yukon rivers, and such other
main linos as may be deemed neces
sary by the !^ard of road commission
era;" and the request that congress
be urged to provide more adequate
aids to navigation, are reasonable re
quests.
The people of Seattle will earnestly
and energetically sup|K>rf these de
mands. Seattle will speak with one
voice in behalf of Alaska. / .
But the public officials, citizens,
and business organizations may do
very much more: they may urge their
friends elsewhere to demand Justice
for Alaska, and to press the demand
upon the attention of congress.
Alaska must be treated fairly. Good
American citizens have gone into the
north to develop the country. They
have been pouring a vast amount of
wealth into the states. They have
received little in return. If Alaska
had used the wealth of the northern
country to perfect a system of gov
ernment. to build roads and schools,
and to provide needed marine safe
guards. Instead of sending the wealth
into the states to become the com
mon property of the American people,
and to swell the total of the nation's
wealth. Alaska would today be in a
happier political industrial and com
mercial state.
The peopl ? everywhere in this cour.
try should demand that Alaska be
accorded a fair deal by the federal
government. Now is the time to
make the demand. It should be
dinned into the ears of congress un
til congress responds by making
proper provision for the people of the
north. Alaska day in Seattle should
be made historic. ? Seattle P.-I.
"NIGHT RIDERS" WERE FOUND
GUILTY.
Six of the eight "Night Riders" on
trial for killing Capt. Kankin were
found guilty of murder in the first
degree at I'nion City, Tenn.. yester
day. The other two were convicted
erf murder in the second degree and
promptly sentenced to 2" years in the
state prison. The verdict shows that
public sehtiment in the south is still
wholesome and will do much to stamp
out the nefarious depredations of
these cowards. who shielded by
masks, were wont to amuse them
selves by whipping women and lynch
ing old men.
The verdict was a triumph for law
and order. The "Night Riders" used
every sort of intimidation on the jur
ors and even attempted to assassinat
the prosecuting attorney. Witnesses
had to be conducted to the court
room by armed guards. I'nder these
conditions the jury's verdict was al
most as unhoped for as it wa^ wel
come.
Evidence taken in the trial showed
the "Night Riders" to be a sort of
revival of the Klu-Klux-Klan. without
having the excuse1 of the conditions
which gave rise to the former organ
ization. The "Night Riders" were
actuated by the iflost petty motives.
They whipped women for personal |
reasons and lynched men whom they
could not frighten from doing their
duty.
The south and the entire country
Is to be congratulated on the result
I
of the trial. If ever men deserved
hanging It Is these same "Night
Riders."
"Kick not the sleeping tiger in thy j
path: and if thou meetest a shark
In the seas go thy way. there Is room
enough in the sea for him and for j
thee." So runneth an adage written |
several hundred years ago by a wise
old Persian. Roosevelt would have J
done well to consider this injunction '
before he started a row with Senator
Tillman of South Carolina. "Pitch
fork Ben" is the one man in the sen
ate who can match the president in
a war of words.
Hypnotism is said to bo a good way
to curt* alcoholism. Another good
way is to quit drinking.
John D. Rockefeller recently told a
street car motorman tliat he envied
him his job. If there was any money ,
in peddling hot air old John D.'s
fortune would be doubled.
Realizing the utter futility of at
tempting to cope with President
Roosev.lt in an interchange of ver
bal compliments, congress has de
cided to ignore him in the future.
A truly wise decision.

One Thinf, Was Certain.
When Carol was nearly four j_ears
old her parents had occasion to move
Into another part of town, and one
morning when a strange little girl
wandered into the yard Carol, who Is
an only child, was delighted with the
idea of a playfellow .
"Good morning, little girl." she called
out brightly, "bid you tome to play
wiv me':"
The little girl, who was older and
larger than Car*!, stared and was
dumb.
"What's your name, little girl?" Carol
proceeded.
No answer.
"Are you flv *?"
Still no Hiisv -r.
"Are. you six?"
The child fidgeted and grinned, but
remained silent, with her tinger In her
mouth.
Carol surveyed her calmly a moment
and tteu remarked emphatically, "Well,
I don't know your name and I don't
know how old you are. but 1 do know
rou aren't very smart for your age!"?
Delineator.
It Was All Right.
They had evidently been quarreling
before entering the Sutter street car at
the ferry
"I would thank you. Mr. Johnson, not
to sit by me!" she said icily.
"Oh, Lucy, I'll never go with her
-S gain? never, never, dearie!"
Gradually the harsh tones melted to
soft, endearing phrases. The car had
become very crowded. It stopped at
Van Ness.
The conductor, wedging nmoug pas
seugers midway of the aisle', could not
see the rear steps With his hand on
the lteil cowl, he suddenly yelled:
"How is It back there now?"
"It's all right. We've made up again,"
Impulsively responded the young man.
"Oh. Wlllard, he didn't mean us!"?
