last the NEWS editorially promised replies to myself and other com municants. After u lapse of nearly two weeks, To, the mountain la bored and brought forth mouse! That three column editorial is in- deed asinine imbecility exemplified. The fore part of the article contains nothing new except the admission of my estimate of the population Of the interior.
 The writer then quotes my req son for making the protest in the first instance, and thereon tries to build an argument for territorial government. He finds fault with ''corporations formed in the east to deplete Alaska's natural resources" q believed that all true Alaskans wanted companies formed in the east, or anywhere, to "deplete their natural resources" in the hope that some general good will ensue as the depletion" proceeds.) And he continues the same drivel en- deavoring to lead up to climax a grand finale. And he gets there to his satisfaction. As finish he declares that such companies as i am interested in (one that has just placed a saw mill and dredging plant with p skilled workmen on a bleak sea shore,) is one of ''those who are decreasing the country's wealth by RoBBING ALASKA OF ITS ALREADY DEVELOPED RESOURCES. Now, is not that profound reason- ing for a territorial government? Just think moment-then smile serenely. l denounce this state ment to be as absurdly false as it is namely silly. So far as am concerned the controversy is con- eluded.
 Mir. Editor, some three weeks ago, because the chamber of commerce, as it was then. dominated, decided to ask the senatorial committee for a territorial government, and also for Alaska to run side show-to "go it alone"-at the St. Louis ex- position, l made a protest. 1 then realized that my protest to be ef- fective must arrest attention and possibly ruffle some ones placidity, yet with malice toward none.
 As you will remember the protest called forth the "Vox populi edi- tion of the N.ws," and a whining hubbub in certain quarters. But I had the satisfaction of noting that while the NEWS affected to not un- nerstand my remarks upon the re- bellious side show, the whole sub ieet was incontinently abandoned, and never the slightest squeak up- on it since by banquet spellbinders, chamber of commerce, or even the NEWS. Endorsement No. 1.
 l had claimed that to acquire territorial government was impos- sible-that congress would not ac- cord it. When the senators arrived l put the question fairly to Senator Patterson, with whom l have been acquainted for dozen years ,and he replied most positively that con- gress would not give us home gov ernment. The other senators ac- quiesced. Endorsement No-2.
 The day the senators arrived. when the sensation was at fever heat, merchant of the town took occasion to inquire of 9 residents, as they came in on business, ,wheth- CT they were for or against territor- ial government? "A were opposed and one only in its favor. It is needless to remark that that soli- tary one was government official. Endorsement No. 8.

PARKHURsr ON RACE ISSUE.
He Says Physical Difference is an. In
surmountable Barrier

Rev. DIR. Charles II. Parkhurst, in re-
cent interview in New York, discussed the
negro problem and the national type of
the American of the future.
"Since my return from the SOUTH he
said, II have been informed that some of
my critics have accused me Of expressing
regrets that slavery days are over. That is
not true. / have merely said that most of
the 'niggers' are unfit for the responsible
ties of citizenship. l call them 'niggers'
because that Is what they call themselves
and because the word has been accepted
among educated people in the south. l
did not go down into the southland to win
popularity by expressing views concerning
the race problem such SoGtherners APP
prove. On the contrary, l told them moth
ing more than have told the members of
my own congregation more than once.
1T is serious problem to see two races
multiplying and gaining in numbers and
strength side by side in this great land OF
ours. 1t is a most solemn problem, one
that saddens thoughtful man when he
ponders over 1t.
THE 'niggers' will never be assimilated
by the nation. They never, never will con-
tribute, in any part, toward forming the
national type Of the American OF the fu-
ture. They grow blacker and blacker every
day. Their color forms a physical barrier
which even time, the great leyeler, can
not sweep away.
Persons who talk of assimilation in con-
nection with the race problem do not un-
derstand what they speak of. Future gen.
erations of our race will be very much as
we are. The physical barrier that sepa-
rates the blacks from the whites today
will be just as broad and as high through
out all the centuries to come.
1T is different when there is only an in
telectual barrier among men. For instance,
1 sincerely believe that the Jews will con-
tribute In no small part toward forming
the typical future American. That Is be-
cause there Is no physical barrier between
us. The only thing that holds US apart is
matter Of religion. which is not insur-
mountable.
Indeed. assimilation was progressing
very rapidly up to the time of the recent
heavy immigration Of Jews to this country
from Russia. OF course. we may now ex-
pect to see the complete mixing of Jews
with Gentiles retarded for some genera
tons. but 1t las not been stopped. In the
ages to come they will all form one undi-
vided people. one race type" -

toonist. who wrote Governor Pennypacker a
letter demanding retraction of the epi-
thet outcast,' applied to him by the gov
ernor In reference to the Salus-Grady libel
Dill, received the following answer from
Governor Pennypacker today:
Executive Chamber, Harrisburg, May 16.
Sir: Your letter addressed to me has
just been received. You are entirely cor
rect In saying that your personality has
never come under my observation, and
may add that am entirely unconscious of
ever having made. in any way. any refer
ence TO you. Very respectfully yours.
SAMUEL w. PENNYPACKER..
Upon receipt Of the above Mr., Nelan re-
piled as follows:
'Sir: I do not think vour disavowal
would stand in law, but / am bound by
courtesy to accept 1t as truthful and can
oio. Inc state OF the case as now present
ed by your letter Of disclaimer is this:

name. You saw 1T and studied 1t. You said
the man who drew it was hired oucast.'
you now say you are entirely unconscious
or having referred to me by this imputa-
ton, -
Whether this holds together as logical
and :veracious syllogism the public will have
to determine. 1 am not going to bubble
over the matter. but shall give you the
benefit of every technicality and Of all pre-
sumptions in favor of the caBIlor and truth
fulness OF your statement, M shall not en-
deavor to hold you for your negligence
merely under the provisions Of the new law,
the parentage of which y GENERALLY imputed
while I am thus wffing to grant you
immunity. civil and criminal. for your
rashly negligent act, nevertheless, 1 can
this episode will be lesson to you, and
that in the future you will not be so reck-
less and negligent as to- hurl offensive cpl
thets 'unconsciously' at people you don't
know anything about Perhaps. as you
further reflect. you will wish the whole of
your extraordinary paper to be excused
and hope 1t can-upon the ground that 1t
was 'unconsciously' written.

Ex-LIEUT. GOVERNOR SHOT.
II. C. Knobloc Killed on Street of Thi-
bodeaux, La

A dispatch from Thibodeaux. La. yester-
day says: A shooting ARRAY which resulted
in the killing of ex-Lieutenant Governor
Clay Knobloc occurred early this morning
in Main street and created a great deal of
excitement. The shooting was done by
James Garault, a barber.
The trouble leading up to the killing is
practically unknown. 1t was 7:30 when the
killing occurred. 1t took place in a section
Of Main street that is usually crowded.
Several witnesses OF the shooting were
found but they refused to talk further than
to say that Garault shot In self-defense.
The two men were seen talking together,
when suddenly ex-Lieutenant Governor
Knobloc drew his revolver. 1t appeared
that he experienced some trouble with the
weapon and it failed to explode; Meantime
Garault whipped out his revolver ana
opened fire on his adversary.
Five wounds in the dead mans body were
found, any one of which would have proved
fatal.
Garault surrendered to the authorities Inn
mediately and is being held for the present,
but It is certain he will be allowed bond
Knobloc was a native Of Lafourche Par
ish. He served as lieutenant governor un-
der Gov. Samuel McEnery, now United

A dispatch from Berlin says: The posi-

Birmingham comes at an inopportune time.
For Chancellor Won Buelow a fresh and in
calculable problem arises, while the recon-
struction of the commercial treaties with
other countries was proceeding on well un-
derstood conditions. What the members of
the ministry hope Is that Premier Balfour
and the majority Of the cabinet will de-
cline to follow Mr.. Chamberlain's sugges-
tion and that he will be obliged to leave
the cabinet.
