GOVERNMENT AND TELEGRAPH.

It is quite the fashion to denounce the United States government for its apparent negligence and it's procrasnston in the building of telegraph line, in order that this isolated portion of it's possessions may be placed in touch with the rest of the world. While do not propose to pose apologis for the gov ernment still may say that there two sides to most stories. The construction of telegraph line undertaken by the government for military, and not commercial purposes, as some people seem to im- agine The United States government has never, as
 government, entered into commercial or speculative enterprises In 1900, when the construction of a telegraph line from Nome toward the outside was be- gun, it for military purposes solely. The urgent necessity passed, and with the anxiety of those in authority to push it to speedy completion. It is less to moralize; the undertaking was purely for military purposes and we doubt not that the govern ment would heartily welcome and encourage Gf it cost no money) any private corporation that would engage to solve the problem of telegraphic communi- cation between the various Alaska towns and settle msnts and the outside world It must not be forgot ten. however, that the governments administration of Alaskas affairs has never been satisfactory; 1t should also be borne in mind that government ad- mnistered all the way from Washington never will be satisfactory. The men who make up "the govern ment care little, a rule and know less of Alaska's needs They cannot be expected to ovsr-concsrn themselves The men who form the Congress of the United States have their individual constituencies to look after. What legislation is needed for far-off country comes afterthought, and is, therefore unkempt, undresseo and of the misft variety.
 Until Alaska is given some voice in Congress, and representative form of government of its own, it's people will continue to be quasislaves, wearing any caso clothing that ''the government" may dole out to it.

LOYALTY AND LIBERTY.

Should man be loyal to his country? The question savers of the ridiculous, yet it has been answered with the blood of tens of thousands in the negative. The strife which call the 'civil war;" and which resulted in firmly cementing the union of states, not with very many people question of "loyalty to country in the broad sense in which we now view it. It was viewed by the South however
 rather as question of section-the North against the South. The permanency of the Union not considered in the same light as view it. In 1860 the republic was still an experiment. For more than three-quarters of century the European peo
 pies had been prophesying its speedy downfall and the establishment of an oligarchy, based upon the European patterns. Our form of government was the object of unlimited ridicule. We thought to be lunatics among whom the self-government idea had run mad But we have overcome all obstacles :; we have demonstrated to the fullest extent that a free" people capable of self-government We have made mistakes. Our system of government is by dealistic, yet it answers the purposes for which it instituted. We have progressed rapidly since our constitution was formulated That historic document has been enlarged and expanded
 to surprising degree. In instances it has been subverted but the results that followed such justified the extraordinary procedure. One of the greatest boons that followed the adoption of the stituton of the United States the right of free speech; the right to criticse in official place for their acts. In countries of despotc semi-despotc forms of government this is denied the peo- pie. The result is misgovernment, maladmnstra- tion and oppression of the grossest kind Without free speech there can be fighting of wrongs. The
 freedom of the press in exposing malgovernment has been one of the safeguards of this republic. AS a rule the press is loyal to the best interests of the country. From the earliest days it has battled for freedom and the rights of the people. It has erred sometimes, but in the end it has seldom been found to be wrong Time proves all things. The name liberty is not a misnomer in the United States When it becomes such the republic will be more

SOUR DOUGH AND CHECHAKO.

One often hears the terms "Sour Dough" and "Ghs- chako" applied to residents of the Northland and to many the terms are confusing, since they seem, on their face to convey no idea of the "standing' or "quality" of either The name "Sour Dough" s one that no oldtimer will be ashamed of neither is the term "Chechako" one to be ashamed of. The Sour Dough was once Chechako. The Chechako of this year may lay claim to being Sour Dough next year. The former term applied years ago to the old Yukon miners-the men who made famous Circle City, Fortymile, Dawson and Cassiar Bar and later

The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan
paper, will be especially interesting
and instructive during the present
session of congress. The action of
this congress will probably deter
mine the issues upon which the next
presidential campaign will be fought.
The Commoner proposes to carry on
a campaign of education and organi=
cation to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial de-
partment, which receives Mr.. Bry-
ans personal attention, The Com
moner contains Current Topic de
partment. wherein non-partisan
discussion of topics OF timely inter
est and other valuable information
will be found. The Home Depart
ment is conducted by an experienced
woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who
is an authority on the art of cooking
in all that the term implies. This
department alone is worth the sub
scription price. The other depart
ments of the paper are all interest
ing and ably conduct ed. among
which is summary Of tue worlds
news told in narrative style, and
Mr. Maupin's department-Wheth-
er Common or Not-contalns origin
al anecdotes and wit, moral lessons in
homelv phrase and verse, and ap
peals to old and young alike.
The Commoner as whols is clean
entertaining and instructive, and it's
rapid increase in eirculation-now
amounting to 140,000-is proof of
the papers strength and influence.
Arrangements have been made
with Mr. Bryan whereby The Com
moner can be supplied at very low
rate with THE New DOMINION, both
papers for one year for 5000 This
offer applies to both new and renew
al subscriptions, and should be taken
advantage of without delay. All
orders should be sent to the New
