Woman Not "a Person

Not long ago a woman applied to
be admitted to the examinations for
a solicitor in Scotland and the Scot.
tish law courts thereupon decided that
a woman was not a person. That is
to say. the act of parliament which
regulates the terms on which any
body is admitted to practice law in
Scotland speaks always of persons, !"
and the judges held that this word
should apply only to men. Much the
same decision was given good many
years ago in England about women
medical students, and that matter was

TO become doctors by parliament pass.
ing an act stating definitely that wo-
men could be admitted to all medical
examinations where the heads of the
profession were willing to admit

The Force of Habit.

A young lady of this city who lives
at home. in order to provide herself
with pin money. answered an adyer-

which called for young men and wo-

She found on investigation that the
work was that of preparing circular
letters for large department store.
The company, wishing to dispose of
a special line of goods, had written
at the bottom of each letter. Come
early to avoid the rush.
Now about this time the young lady
had occasion to write and send an in
Yitation to a young man Of whom she
was especially fond to call.
He never responded and the young
lady does not know TO this day that
she wrote at the end of her note,

HOME RULE FOR ALASKA.

The following comment on the matter of Alaskan homo rule is of such general importance that we give it space in this number:
 Gradually the cause of Alaska and the right of her people to govern themselves is coming to be recog nized The Butte Inter Mountain, of which ex-Sen- a4or Lee Mantle is editor says: "Whie legislature ia not altogether unmixed blessing the constitu- tional right of the peoplao have share in the mak- ing of their own laws should not be denied them. As it s the people of Alaska deprived of the fran ohse dependent solely for their laws, local and general, on . congress which has small comprehen- sion of the needs and Of the country. And in that congress they have no representation, not the voting delegate allowed other territories According to the census of 19OO Alaska had a popu- aton of 53952. There is every indication that this population has doubled in the last three years. To deny these people all representation is to do some- thing utterly at variance with the spirit of the consti tuition. Nevada, with population of 42,0OO, is a sovereign state of the nation. So is Wyoming with population of only 92,000-far less than Alaska now possesses The territory of Hawaii, with popu- laton of 154,O00 largely made up of Kanakas and Asatcs, has its complete territorial form of govern ment. But Alaska, region of immensely more value to the United States than Hawaii will be, ritory which produces revenue for the gov ernment and immense trade for the American mer- chants annually, is still political orphan. It is well that these visiting senators have come to a realization of the facts, and it is to be hoped that they will bring their colleagues to the same way of thinking."

What surprises the tourist as much as any one thing is the size of Alaska. She certainly is a country of immense size and tremendous resources. With plenty of gold in her hills and valleys, and lots of coal just across Boring sea, this end of the great country appears to be on the road toward better days. Think of skirting for two thousand miles along the coast of Alaska, and then landing in Nome and talk ing another boat and travelling hundreds of miles further and still skirting the shores of Alaska. It is vast country4a country of snow, ice, gold, to say nothing of rlenty of other resour- ces,

The natives who were reported in want and hungry last winter and spring have been able to live in clover during the summer. Men, women and children keep busy making and selling curios. They get fair price from tourists and sourdoughs alike, and as, long as the weather is good they get along very we'll. If they can be taken care of during the winter, or can get into a settlement and keep busy, they ought to be able to keep the wolf from the door. They evi- dently need management, someone that will help them at the critical moment. For that reason, if for no other, every one will hope that the experiment which Rev. Dr. Ryberg is making for them at the mouth of Quartz creek will be suc- cessful. It will be a relief to know that at least part of the natives in this section will be taken care of during the winter.

Brother Harrison hit the nail on the head when he advocated only the best goods for Nome. His point is we'll taken. There's no possible excuse for paying expen- sive freights on poor goods. Freights are the same on poor stuff as on good goods, and every article that has to be transported to a camp and then is unfit for use, is a double loss. Nome's motto ought to be "give us the best" and when an outside merchant sell. anything but the lest to Nome business man, the Nome man better buy from a new house next time. It's short-sighted business policy to pay freight. especially on any line of groceries or provisions, unless they are of the best. THE NUGGET always believes in getting only the best. The best is, indeed, none too good for Nome and the people of Seward peninsula.

ALASKA THOROUGHLY AMERICAN

As indicating the position of President Roosevelt with regard to Alaska, will be remembered that in his terss way he laid down platform that suits Alaskans. Alaska should have an adequate form of government and competent judicial system" That is just what Alaska needs provided the form of government be indeed adequate and the judicial sys- tenn be slightly modified to be "competcnt." It needs certain stability that will make the entire system more adequate.
 Alaska is not colony that needs to be American fzed. The citizens of Alaska are all Americans most of them coming from the older states of the Union. They are first and foremost Americans. For business and other reasons they are in Alaska but still they remain loyal Americans. Why. then, should they be treated as if they were in the Philip pines Alaska should be treated along the line of President Roosevelts platform. "Alaska should have an adequate form of government and competent judicial system"

The mail service between Nome and Council City is, as everyone knows, entirely inadequate. It is, perhaps, no ones fault, but the de- partment has made a contract for only two deliveries between Nome and Golovin month, whereas the citizens of the two towns feel that they ought surely 10 have q weekly delivery. As,it is, there are 150' to 200 pounds of mail from Nome for Golovin every trip of the Saddle. With q weekly delivery there would probably be one hundred pounds of mail, and that quantity would surely entitle the town to weekly delivery of the mails. It is thought that to call the attention of Chief Clerk Boyle to this fact will be all that will be necessary, as he will be disposed to give Council and Nome the very best that he can. As it is, there are five or six pouches for every trip of the Saddle to Golovin, and it is more than likely that after this season the pouches will not have to lie over a week or ten days in the office.

TASK AND VIE SHALL RECEIVE."

There are indications, in fact good prospects that the advice of the senatorial committee to the citizens of Nome will be followed, and that the miners and business men of this section will get together and ask for what they want from congress. The American citizen s very nearly the final and supreme authority when 1t comes to passing laws. If he asks long enough and strong enough and with enough una nmty, he is sure to get what he asks for The sena- torial committee practically invited Alaska to ask
 but to ask in such way that congress knows that Alaska is back of the request. Alaska can pretty nearly get what is right and the changes that she n.eds if sAlaskans can drop petty differences and snaeu isaloqses long enough to let congress know whet t is that Alaska would like to have, and why Alssks psedsit There are many changes needed in ths laws, and above all . crystalizing of public sent
 mont is needed, and needed badly. Congress and tAe senatorial committee take tho right stand. So lspg as Alssks does not know what she wants or her ctissns are too indifferent to care, and do not care svs,' to formulate tho request Alaska will get noth- insx When VI rise np and make our demands the American sense of fairness we'll as our ideals of justice and right, will dictate that congress give us what we demand, because it is right
 The good impressions that are made upon the equatorial committee will be largely disspated and lot unless we secure for Alaska such changes in our
 mining laws ss w best subserve tho interests of the largest number of people. Tho business of Alaska is mpins, and the first interest to consider, so far as Seward peninsula is concerned that of the miner WhatsyU will benefit the miner will benefit Nome. Name intsrsst is not to be separated from that of the miner for practically all interests are ono. What ever will make the man who is ready to dig for gold more secure in his possession will benefit Nome.
 It is evident that it is time to act in the matter Petty differences should be dropped Selfish interests should bs thrust into the background and the com mon good considered This cannot be done without oms agitation and good deal of action.

AMERICAN ALASKANS.

The only practical objection to "Alaska for the Alaskans," far home rule is concerned comes in tho way of very fine compliment. It is insisted upon that the interests of Alaska cover so great range and are of such vast magnitude that one dele gate could not possibly represent them It's great country that's true, but man could come nearer it in congress than one can do One deegare in congress s certainly much better than no delegate. If the argument against delegate hods then by all means give us two delegates.

The mining laws of Alaska need revision, and to prove it The Ketchikan Mining Journal tells of a couple of prospectors who claim to have discovered a rich quartz ledge on the headwaters of the Tanana and who have staked and recorded not less than thirty loca- tions. Laws that will allow such conditions evidently need to be amended. Comment appears to be unnecessary, for such stalking is at enmity with all good mining.

on bench should express himself and help get action When Alaskans go before congress and say, "here few changes on which we are agreed and which will be for the good of this country" Congress will doubt
 less say "very well, they yours" Without some- thing of unanimty we get just what we have been getting ng-personalites, dferences-nothing doing. Will Alaskans get together and ask for what they want? Who will make the first move?
