THOMAS . ALE
HURANES PLATFORM AGAINST
SELF GOVERN MEST
The platform upon which "Judge"
Murane is making his race for congress
IS OPPOSED TO SELF-GOVERN
MENT (or Alaska. It favors the estab
lishment of a commission to be appoint
ed or elected (the option being left with
congress) to decide upon what we need,
and to give us a form of self goverment
if It, in its superior wisdom, believes
that to be the proper thing.
This plan is worse by several degrees
than the proposal of the old Brady
Dietrich commission bill. That bill
did propose to make some of the mem
bers of the commission elective by the
people while the Munuie people will be
satisfied if all the commissioners shall
be appointed by the president or some
other authority to be designated by
congress.
The Brady-Dietrich bill was ridiculed
and stormed to death. That will be
impossible another time if "Judge"
Murane shall be elected to congress for
the reason that it will be pointed out
that the people of Alaska favor the
plan.
The only sure way for the people of
Alaska to go on record in favor of self
government nest Tuesday is for them
to vote for Gov. Swineford and Thomas
Cale.
It is usually regarded as a good year's
work to prepare plans for the develop
ment of a quartz or placer mining
claim and to get them under way. The
Alaskan rojd commission, which
Justice of the Peace Mellen has seen fit
to attack as "dilatory and wholly in
efficient," has prepared comprehensive |
plans for a general road system cover
ing the entire district of Alaska, and
work is progressing in all portions of
the district. Y but little more than a
year hjs passed since its organization
and it had nothing like adequate funds
until LESS THAN TWO MONTHS
AGO.

Let us see. It took Justice of the
Peace Mellen about 10 years to develop
his copper property at Coppermount,
and he announced year after year that
he had ample funds at his disposal with
which to push woric. The Alaskan
road commission has a big road system
well under way within a year of its
organization and within less than 50
days of its securing sufficient funds with
which to work.
The Cummins victory in Iowa has
very effectually punctured the presi
dential boom for Secretary Shaw which
was so actively at work about Washing
ton corridors and Iowa prairies earlier
in the season.
It is suspected that the real cause of
the objection of the J uneau statesmen to
the Alaskan road commission is that its
headquarters are at Skagway.

Regardless of the ticket you vote be
?ure that the name of A. P. SWINE
FORD is on your ballot for the short
term. He stands for the application of
American principles of government to
Al?ska and for the highest order of
integrity and capacity. Elect him and
make certain of intelligent and honest
representation at Washington for next
winter.

PUBLIC SCHOOL
ANNOLNCEMENT
Skagway, Aug, 7? The public school
of Skagway will open next. Monday
morning at nine o'clock. Every pupil
should be ready to enter at that titne.
A beginner's class will be started, and
any child who will be six years old by
the middle of the year will be admitted.
The list of books and supplies needed
by each pupil up to the eighth irrade
will appear in the Dally Alaskan later
this week.
A plan has been worked out by which
the first year of high school work will
be offered. English, algebra, Greek
and Roman history, and physical geo
graphy and physiology will be taught,
in addition to such other subjects as
may be needed by pupils who have
done high school work. The board of
education plans to make this work a
part of the regular school course, and
expects to offer four years of high
school work if the number attending
justifies it. A detailed statement of
the manner in which this is to be done
has 'xen prepared, and is b ing mailed
to those whose children are most litcely
to attend. Anybody wishing a copy of
this statement may secure it by apply
ing to me. It is sufficient to sny here
that the additional work is maie possi
ble without an extra teacher by what
is called alteration of studies, not every
grade being taught every year. For
the present year there will be no
seventh grade, those who did sixth and
seventh grade work last year combining
and doing the work of the eigth grade
together, fs'ext year the pupils regu
larly in the eighth grade will go onto
the high school, while those who skip
ped the seventh grade will do the work
of this grade. I shall be glad to ex
plain the work in de'ail .to anybody in
terested.

Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair

landruff or scurf by digging into tiio
