BRADY AT n AGAIN.

No one ln AlaSl<l will be surprised to le,m that Governor Brady Is in the states opposing territorial form of government for the district, but many of those who have not followed his career closely for the Last few velrS, may be surprised that he should deliberately and maliciously He ln order to give fcrts Co bis position. lt may also sunrise some, who are not familiar with his nlrowneSs and lack oi lntorma- ton, that he would make such a display of Igrorlnce as Is evidenced by the inter view given the P..L and which appears in The Daily Alaskan this morning.
 Of course Governor Brady Is opposed to a territorial form of government Such an organization would take the government of the district out of the hands of the old oligarshy. of which Governor Brady and Sheldon Jackson are the chief members, and put lt in the hands Of the people. Brady and his slwmill graft and Jackson and his reindeer shell game would oe things of the past with a territorial organ izl,lon secured. Brady knows this. He knows what the people ot Alaska think of him and he Is using his prestige as gov efnor and all the Influence Of his little mis- sionlry clbll Co keep Alaskans gagged. Re fully understands that ii the people oi the district over which he prssides as gov ernor ,ould ever get hearing, the first Of their demands would be his instantaneous removal. Hs has not forgotten the las, republican convention of Allska,by vote Of 44to .. demanded that he be removed from othcc. And he further understands that so long as his voice only can ee he 70 at Washington, that hls graf, will las'.
 When Governor Brady said the move msnt in Alaska for a territorial form of government was dead, he stated what he knew Co be false. As a matter of fact, outside oi The Treldwel corporation, and few others who are depsndendent upon Its bounty, more than 90 ger cent. ot ue people 0f Southern Alaska favor such an organization. The great majority ot the people 0f SHlgway, Juneau. NsiehIkln and Vlltsz, are supporting the movement. Bradv's gardner, his slwmill foreman and their siwlSh assistants, are no doubt op- posed Co it, bu, a vote of Southern AiSka would show ,he district to be not less thln stoG.n fiyor oi territorial organization One oi Che chief reasons urged toi the ere ation of a territory and one thlt attracts io the movement tremendous Influence, Is the desire Co get rii ofthe pernlciouS Brady Influence at Washington.
 After admitting the mineral resources ot Allski are immense and that the district Is annually producing more than the pur- chase pr.ce os the Philirpnss, Brady in- consistently and igncrantlv proclIimS that the people lre not able Co bear the burden in taxation that would be entallet by a territory. As "a matter ot fact the people of Alaska are already contributing in an un- American license tx, made a law through the active eonnIyancs of this same Brady, more money than it cost to run Washington territory when it had a quarter cf a million inhabitants and Alasllns do not get one cent of this money either.
 The Governors argument for a state rather than a territorial form Of govern ment Is worthy oi the "Artful Djdger." !" Brady k ows as well as anvbJdy that statehood Is out of the question. Okla homa with a half million inhabitints has thus far begged for statehood and begged in vain. What chance could there be tor Allsk,' He advocitss it to distract at tsnti0n from the cnly means oi relief that Is at hand and for ho other purpose.
 While it Is barely possible, though fortunately not probable, that Brady may prevent territorial organization during his term of offcs as governor and while it Is possible that he will be permitted to com plsis the term Of office to which he has been appointed, The Daily Alaskan Is pre- pared Co promise the people of Alaska that he Is now serving his last term. John C.. Brady will never hold a commission bear ing the signature of President Roosevelt. Long before his term expires his whole traltorous and disUlceful career win De lai- bare before the president and that will suffice with Roosevelt. Let Brady rs- member this.
