THE LAST STRAW

If the proposition that Alaska be given a resident commissioner at Wash ington, to be appointed by the presi- d. mt, to represent this district before congress and the executive depart meuts. there to fashion legislation for American citizens residing in this country and to dictate the manner of it's enforcement, shall become a law, it will mark the high tide of the mouarchical policy that has been pursued toward Alaska Then it will be time for the people of this dis trict to hold mass meetings of protest, that their indignation might be made plain to the American people. This thing of treating American born and American reared men as children, as would be treated the subjects and serts of the most despOtic mOuarchies, is a thing tha. the American people would not permit to continue were they made aware of the facts, and the time has about arrived when it is up to Alaskans to appeal from an imperialistic inclined congress to the sense of justice and the spirit of liberty that repOses in the PeO- pie of this great nation.
 It were ten thousand times better that Alaska get no attention at all from congress than that this abOminable badge of it's subjectiOn be fastened upon !t, and if the people shall quietly sub init to such treatment it will not be long until the shackles of imperialism will be fastened and riveted upon them so their removal will be among the inn possibilities. Already there are those who advocate the establishment of a military police to say "thOu shalt" and "thou shalt not" to the American men and women who are developing this country. Give Us a commissioner at Washington who owes none of his au- thority to the people concerned, and who has only tO please power-loving department officials that he may hold his job, and it will be only aquestiOn of time until the last semblance of Amer ican citizenship will disappear from Alaska.

Men Must Make Indian
 Women Lawful Wives

Nome, Feb. 24.-Rev. O. P. AndeI- son, of the Golovin Bay mission, has in- stituted vigorous war on white men in that section who are living with na- tive women without the formality of a marriage ceremony.
 Several of them have children, and Mir. Anderson declares 1t is not sufi- cient that they cease to live with the women; they must marry them and support the children. The native women, he says, have advanced in the ways of morality, and they realize that they are living in an immoral manner, and they wish to be legally married.
 Mir. Anderson stoutly declares that unless these men marry the women he will prosecute them to the fullest eX- tent of the law,

TARIFF REVISION
WONT BE EASY
Obstacles to Presidents Program
Appear Hale Of Maine
st.s .2 |
Opposes It.
BY w. w. Jermane.


Washington, Nov. 29-The country,
as the time for congress draws near, is
seeing something Of TIE difficulties
which are before the president in his
effort to bring the leaders Of his party
to common ground favorable to tariff
modification.
Several days ago Senator Scott, after
q conference at the White House, bold
~ announced that he was opposed to
revision. Last night Senator Hale of
Maine, one of the real party leaders,
came to town and! gave out an interview
column long, in which he said more
mean things against revision than have
thus far been said publicly by all the
other antlrevisionists put together. He
Will oppose revision with all his might.
Last night, also Speaker Cannon
reached Washington, and he too, spoke
IN q way to suggest that he is opposed
to the presidents plan; He does not
do 50 until after he has had an op Oh e
tunitty to 20 over the question with the
president. .'-
| AS other leading men in two houses
arrive the obstacles in the president IS
way will become more apparent even
than they now are. It is UP to him to
convince the standpatters that tariff
modification is the best thing for the
party and country.
If he cand this, there will be a
| special tariff session Of congress next
| spring. If he cannot, there will be
no extra session. Tariff coferences at
the White House will be held very fire.
quently from this time on.

DOES COAL TRUST

Interstate Commerce Commission
Holding Final Hearings on

Washington, Nov. 29.-The interstate

whereas the increase, in the prepared go

There was, he declared, constantly

The statistics were offered in evil

Washington. T.
Washington, Nov. 29.-John Hyde,
chief Of the bureau Of statistics of the
agricultural department, announced to-
day that returns SO far received will
justify the department. in issuing a
statement showing, more or less ac-
curately, the percentage Of this year s
wheat crop that is unfit for milling.
Inquiries on this subject were sent to
the department correspondents IN the
wheat country upon the urgent request
Of the grain men and millers in Min
neapolis and other cities. At fist there
was question whether accurate in
formation could be had, but replies SO
far received indicate that a fairly re-
liable estimate can be made.
Mr.. Hyde said today that a statement
will be published by the department,
and it is hoped that it will take the
form Of an official estimate. Officials
Of the bureau hoped to get this infor-
nation out with the final crop estimate
on Dec. 10, but returns have been com
ing SO slowly that it will be impossible
to issue it until late in that month.

Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 29.-Daniel
'Kelleher, formerly Sioux City rail-
way man, running between Sioux City
and Minneapolis on the Omaha line,
died at Mercy hospital here, probably
as the result of murder. Death was
caused by a fracture Of the skull made
by blunt instrument. The wound was
on top Of the head and long bruises
stretched in each direction from it.
Kelleher was working for the Bur-
ington. He went home night before
last and his sister noticed his peculiar
actions and after retiring he was heard
to groan.
A physician was called and the
wounds Immediately discovered, but
Kelleher never regained consciousness.
Detectives are unable to give any
explanation, but admit that Kelleher
was murdered by some unknown hand,
probably for robbery, as he was PENN
less when searched and had drawn a

Washington, Nov. 29.-The treasury
department has already taken step in
the direction of a more liberal construc-
ton of the drawback law with relation
to the use of Canadian wheat in the
manufacture Of -four in export. An
official Of the department said today
that millers need not wait for the report
Of Special Agent Kemp on the investi-
CATION in Minneapolis, nor for specific
action by the secretary, before begin
ming to use import wheat. All that is
necessary for them to do, he said, is to
keep their records of imports Of wheat
and the proportion of ilnported wheat
that enters into the manufacture of
-four exported, and on that record, prop:
erly certified, the drawback will be paid
should the secretary decide. that it can
be done. It will be some weeks before
the department reaches decision, but
the only inconvenience the millers will
suffer is a tie-up Of the money held in
duties in Canada on wheat.
