Change Law Only.
lSkaoMav Alaskanl

The charge has been made that the purpose of the proposed Alaska Clti- zen's League is to organize the people for the purpose of defying the law and those who are commissioned to enforce it. The Daily Alaskan does not believe the charge rests upon truth. Such an organization could not thrive among the people of Alaska, and the character of the citizens who have proposed the organization gives the lie to such a charge. The people of Alaska have no complaint to make, and can have none, if those who are sworn to enforce the law perform their duty.
 While there are times when people is justified in defying the enforcement of laws, in the making of which they have had no part, the time is not the present, so far as Alaska is concerned, at least. The people of this district have never in anything like an em- phatic manner demanded of congress the recognition of their right to make their own laws. In fact many of those people who cry the loudest because of the irksomeness of the laws in force in this north country, are also the strong est opponents of self-government we have. There can, under no circum' stances, be any sympathy with them. AS long as they want congress as their law making power, so long must they expect to obey the laws provided for them by it.
 It would be different if the people of the district had been petitioning and clamoring for self-goyernment at the hands of congress and had been re- fused their rights. If Alaskans had been standing upon their rights as Americans, and had their appeals for self-government denied them, and if determination had been shown on the part of congress to continue to refuse to grant the demands, then there would be just cause to defy congress, and those who would enforce it's law, and appeal to the American people. But such conditions do not exist here. The people have only themselves to blame for all that has been done to them. They are getting the just desert of those who refuse to ask for their natural rights, of those who prefer humiliation to the maintenance of their self re- spect.
 Those who have proposed the Alaska Citizens League as an organization through which the people can speak as a unit to congress, understand these conditions. They know that defiance of laws would not be justified under the circumstances, and they are citi- zens who will do no act which shall not be just.

The action of the city council in taking steps toward the building of a wagon road to Treadwell, is commended by all good citizens. There is nothing for which the municipal funds could be expended that would be of greater benefit to the city. Contractor Murray promises to have it completed to the Natatorium by July 4th, and then it remains for the property holders to show their metal.

Certain of our Alaska exchanges are opt with big roar because of the de- cisions of the Supreme Court in regard to constitutional guarantees and limi- tations, as applied to possessions of the United States-the unenviable pos ition occupied by Alaska. There is no need for any one to go into spasms over this matter. We have implicit faith that we have experienced our worst times. The powers that be have no desire to make slaves of Alaskans, and much of our bad law making is the result of ignorance on the part of legislators. Given a representative elected by the people, Alaska would soon receive what is her due. The noise made by the self constituted represen- tatives has even done some good. Pres. Roosevelt, who never saw our country, has a pretty good idea of conditions, and some of the newspapers even are getting right, or nearly so. What Alas ka needs now is not growl or grum- ble, but a good awakening. Her people should show that they know what they want in the first place, and are not afraid to ask for it. We are convinced that just as long as things are left to drift along as they do now, just so long will all legislation for Alaska be of mixed character. But, when the people get together and ask for what they really need, and ask for it in no uncer- tain mapner, then will begin an era of good legislation. With all her trouble, Alaska is proud to be part of the United States of America, even if the position occupied is only that of possession" However, Uncle Sam's children out here are rapidly growing up, and it is time they were given pants to take the place of the swaddling clothes they have worn so long.

Council Proceedings.

The city council met as usual Mon- day evening and got down to real hard work.
 The first business brought up after the roll call, reading and approval of the minutes, &c., was complaint of a pile of filth on the mill site, between First and Second streets, and the con- mittee on Health and Police was in- structed to have it cleaned up.
 The expenditure of the amount necessary to provide box for the sewer running through the mill site, was authorized.
 MT. A. Murray was given the contract to build piece of road from the south end of Third street to the Natatorium, said road to be 12 it. wide and 3 in. plank.
 The sum of S1O5 was appropriated for prizes for the Fire boys, to be given for competitive contests on the Fourth of July.
 The election returns were canvassed, and M. J. O'Connor was declared elect ed municipal magistrate.

A Washington dispatch says that the matter of the selection of an Alaskan Commissioner to the St. Louis .exposi- ton will be taken up by the secretary of the interior as soon as the President gets back to Washington from his "swing around the circle" and there are four candidates for the place-the unsavory Arthur c. Jackson, who ran the 10 cent Alaska show at Buffalo and who, through influence we'll known to The Mining Journal, was refused per mission to work his graft at Charles ton-Judge l.. l.. Williams and H. R. Sheppard, of Juneau, and deputy col lector G. H. Van Houten, of Dutch Harbor The. Mining Journal has the very best authority for saying that Mir. Shephard is not in any sense a candi- date for the place, that Judge Williams is not even a little bit desirous of bray ing five or six months of St. Louis sum- mer heat without adequate compensa- tion, and though it does not know MT. Van Houten or anything about his qualifications for the place, it does know to an absolute certainty that the appointment of lily-handed Jackson, "who tolls not neither does he spin," unless it be in connection with graft of some sort, will be equivalent to throwing the whole of the s50,0O0 ap- propriation into the fire. Alaska will have none of him, nor will he have any aid or cooperation from Alaskans.- Ketchikan Mining Journal.

That is the way Territorial form of government operates to the disadvant- age of new mining district. The Yu- kon Territorial Council has passed to a second reading bill providing for the establishment of a free assay office at Whitehorse, and is also considering a proposition to vote bonus of S1O0,0O0 for smelter at the same place. That looks like ruin to the mining interests of the Yukon Territory, doesn't itI- Ketchikan Mining Journal.

Make of Religion an Umbrella.

When the bishop of Colorado, DR..
Sanford Olmsted, was rector of the
Church of ST. Asaph, at Bala. Pa, his
ready wit made him at once the ad-
miration and the fear of the people Of
the neighborhood.
There is fashionable golf and rid
ing club at Bala, with grounds that adj
join those of the little church. and it
happened ON q certain afternoon. when
DR.. Olmsted was holding a special serv-
ice, that number of golfng clubmen
were caught in a drenching shower and
hurried for shelter into the church.
They entered with great clatter of
their golf sticks and with much sup
pressed chuckling and hard breathing.
Their noise and their gay sporting at
tire made Earring note Oh the sim
pIfcity of the service. But DR.. Olmsted
paid no heed to them till the end Of his
sermon. Then he said with smile:
I'VE have heard OF people who make
d cloak of religion. Now we know that
there are others who make of religion
