KEEP AT IT

The aty council. the chamber of e1m- meree and the citizens Of Skagway in mass meeting assembled should each re- speltively petition congress to grant Alaska territorial government. And in default of extending tus iualsnable AmeIi' can right of rerrs>en,a,ive sovernmen, to this district, to as least pass Cushmsn's delegate blIl.
 Congress will not take the time or trouble to plss a territorial government act a, this session. But to petition for it will a, lsas, act as the harblngsr of the light that will some dlv dawn on congress and enable it to know that the people of th'S distric, wan, a voice in their own affairs
 In 1000 AllSklnS did no; desire territorial government. lt was believed that the support of a self-government would be too onsrous. But congress has cured the people of this belief. |, has levist a trib- ute tax on the people half of whith year by yelr it wiing' away from the people Of Alaska and does not restore in any form. The Alaskan mus, now b. dull who does not realize that this bllckmiil form which they are untcnS,i,utionllly robbed veal by year, amounts 10 mote than would the cost Of self government.
 There Is i great change of opinion upon this question throughout AIsKl. Ter ti,orial government is now desired by vast m,iori,y ot the people and the te9iFe is constantly growing.
 But ln def ul, of territorial eovsrumen, the measure best adapted IS a means to lt- tain |, shouli be secured, This measure Is covered by Cushmln'S delegate bill. The people ,an elect a teleg,ts upon pledge that he shall labor iOr territorial government. This delegate will furnish the best available means oi advising con- gress of the -N,en, ,ha, ,erntori govsm- ment is desired by the p,ople of Alaska.

When Knowledge Is Valuable.

The faculty of having one's mind pigeonholed Is of great value. Some people have their mental bookcases and storerooms piled up with mass of material, all valuable perhaps In its way. but jumbled up and piled to- gether so that when any one thing Is wanted It is not 10 be had without oyerhauling ten times as much other material, which. however valuable It may be In itself. has no particular use at the moment of search. othei peo- pie can lay their mental hands on any particular fact or fancy at moments notice and can keep on pulling out other facts and fancles of the same general character until they have told or found all they know.
