 The editor of the Miner wishes to curtail the general freedom of speech and action, by placing all the responsi- bility and power upon the members of the town councils of the incorporated towns, and the towns that are not in corporated may either get in the circle or have DO representation. Likewise all the settlements and mining camps would be left out in the cold.
 Perhaps the ostdistasteful thing to Alaskans is the self appointed repre- sentative. Even the editor of the Miner objects to them, and yet if the 42 members of the city councils of the incorporated towns of s. k. Alaska, were to lauuch forth as dictators, would they not be self appointed? To be sure they have been elected to take charge of the affairs of the different towns, but they have not been elected for any other purpose and who is there to give them the additional authority.
 The effort of the Juneau daily press to defeat the only real, decent attempt to institute forward march movement, that has ever been made in s. E. AL aska, comes with mighty poor grace. If Alaska ever obtains the legislation that she really wants and needs, it will be accomplished in this very way, and the men who persistently stand in the way will some day be ground to dust by the wheels of the car of progress.

How plan could be de- vised to obtain the sentiment of all the people more nearly, is beyond compre- hension.
