WE MUST PAY THE FREIGHT
Since, under President Taft's com
mission plan, the governor of Alaska
is to be paid $10,000. instead of $5,000
it places Alaska In the some class as
the leading states of the Union.
Illinois Is the one exception where
the governor is p?kl $12,000 a year, i
Those which allow $10,000 are Ohio.
New York, Nt?w Jersey and Pennsyl
vania.
Vermont pays the lowest of any
state or territory, allows its chief
executive $1,500. The salaries paid
the governors of other territories are
Arizona. $3,000; Hawaii. $5,000; New
Mexico, $".000 and Porto Rico. $8,000.
The salaries in the other stat s
range from $2,000 to $6,000 a year. It
will be seen that only one state in
the I'nion wiU be ahead of Alaska in
the matter of salary. Each of the
four appointive officers proposed by
Mr. Taft In his plan for governing
Alaska will receive $7,500 per year,
much above the average salary re
ceived by governors in leading states
outside.
And Alaska "pays the freight." She
must keep on footing all the bills,
turning her wealth Into the federal
treasury, and having no voice in
choosing those who arc to rule her
and draw down bankers' salaries.
How about the local nembers? Simply
a few crumbs thrown out to the peo
ple to keep them quiet while the big
financial interests are lef free to per
fect thvlr plans. In other words,
Alaska must continue to pay freight.

GILL A BAD CHOICE.
Seattle will rival San Francisco as
the "ParU of America" if HI Gill is
elected mayor. Gill represents the
"red light" element, favoring a "wide
open town." He is a spoilsman aud
a professional politician. Seattle is
unfortunate In its choice, for A. V. ,
iiouUion is an honetK. sincere and |
able man who would have striven for
good government just as Gill will 1
tread dangerously near the line be- :
tween "politics" and actual graft.
THE SOLDIER'S DREAM.
OCR bcgtr* sang truce, for the
ntjht .Moud had lowered.
Arwt tlx aantuiel stars set their
watd)>t? the sky.
And Uiois.t:i4* had sunk on the
grduAd ?rerpowered.
The weary to ?l?ep And the wounded to
ale. ^
Whan reposing that night on my pallet of ;
straw
By the wolf rearing f.iKHoc that guarded
the slain,
At the dead of the night a sweet vision 1
aaw.
? And thrice ere the morning I dreamed It
1
MeiAooglit from the battlefields dreadful
array
Far. far I had roamed on a desolate
track.
"Twa* autumn, and sunshine arose on the
way
To thjs home of my fathers that wel
comed rao t ? eV
I flew to the pleasant fields traversed so
ofttaij
In llf?"? mcfrnlng march, when my bosom
3 wm young.
1 heard Tuy own mountain coats bleating
alonD I
And knew the sweet strain that the corn
reapers sung.
Then pledged we the wine cup and fondly
I swore
From, toy htia?e and my weeping friends
ntAe'b patt.'
My Uttl* ones klaaed me a thousand times
o'er.
And my wife sobbed aloud In her full
oeaa of heart.
**May? atay with us! Heat' Ttiou art
weary aO?I worn:"
And Hin was their war broken soldier
to atay.
Sut sorrow returned with the dawning
of the morn.
And the voice In my dreaming ear
melted away.
