A DIAGRAM OF THE GOVERNOR'S LITEST
In his interview in the Seattle P.-L.
and which is repeated by wire in his
own Juneau Record, GoTernor Hoggatt
is quoted as saying that "if all the peo
ple of Alaska were to ask for territorial
government it will be impossible to se
cure the passage of any such law."
Are we to understand that Governor
Hoggatt thinks his say In Washington
is greater than that of all the people of
Alaska? that If all the people of Alaska
were to ask for the right to make their
own loc?l laws it wou'd be only neces
sary for him? the governor? to go to
Washington and tell them that we are
not ripe, that re do not know how, and
the matter would be knocked in the
head? Is that it?
Well it does seem as if this Is true.
For nearly all the people of Alaska
HAVE asked this thing. They elected a
delegate to congress on this particular
issue in fact of all the candidates up
for election any one might have meant
the same thins for all were alike pledg
ed to this ssue or they would not nave
received the nomination. Mr. Coraon
makes the talk tbat he "forced the ter
ritorial plank upon the Hoggatt cont'n
gent," which is arrogatine alotof impor
tacca to Mr. Corson, seeing that it means
that he was so strong that Mr. Hoggatt
had to accept him against his will acd
despite his leaning towards self-govern
ment. Which is folderol pure and
simple. Governor Hoggatt, despite his
egregious blundering, knows that no
man could hope for election in Alaska
on a platform that ignored territorial
government or that did not present it
as the tint consideration. Indeed be
picked out as his candidate a mrn who
had declared for the principle in strong
terms? Governor Hoggatt had sense
enoDirb to see that this was iodispens
ible to election in Alaska. But with
the voice of all Alaska recorded in a
plaiform however strongly worded and
the governor of Alaska, the national
committeemen and other satelites
laughing the platform to icorn down
in Washington acd Chicago, and the
delegate merely repeating platitudes
that some of the people mav be fooled,
the governor is probably correct, that
ALL THE PEOPLE at home might
c-y out ht ir Jrsires in vain
Mr. Rt. au at A. B h-vll the other
nisjht made a very s:re and sensib e
statement of the situation, declaring
for a much more radical form of home
government than Mr. Cale bad advo*
cated. He also laid s resa on tbe decla
ration that Cale bad not TRIED to get

THE SILENCES OF LIFE
(Br Frederic E. Snow.)
rhs purple flushing of the eastery sky;
The stately progress of the sun to
ward even;
Night's mantle d'opping from the
quiet heaven;
The holy hush which brings God'8
presence nigh;
The dusky woods where cooling shad
ows lie,
Where ?re still aid Nature to repose
Sinks gently down; dews falling on
the rose;
Mountains sublime in distance looming
high;
The smile of friendship when love sur
passes speech ;
The band-clasp when sorrow is too deep
For words:? Ah me ! the silences of
life
Are mightier far and higher lessons
teaoh
Than all its noisy clamor ! I.et us reap
The bliss of those who keep them
selves from strife.
