JUNEAU PAPER MISREsRE-
 SENTS

John W. Frames Transcript, of Ju- neau, which assumes Co represent the mining interests of its vicinity aud which never ceases tO inyeigh against the extension to the people of Alaska the privilege of exercising their right to seltgoyernmenJ, claiming the de- mand for that Co exist only with Seli- seeking politicians, says the besinesS men of it's town and those who repre- sent the mining investments there favored territorial government iu the last republican convention because they knew there was DO chance of getting it. It says, in so many words, that they were using the issue as tOOtoai. and preteuded to favor Se,t-gOyernment ID order To get votes for something else. In other words, 1t charges she mining men and business men OtitS section with being shitJy, tricky politicians, who seek by the indirect methods that have brought disgrace to ward hpglcrs and corrupt political trickSters in other places, to gain support for measures and men who coul1 UO. otherwl,e geill
 The Daily Alaskan believes the Tran script islanders the people it pra,cndS to represent. It has too high regard for the mining men and the business men Of Juneau and other sections of Alaska to believe of them anything 50 foul. It does not believe that they would go on record in a political convention in favor Of a strong plank for territorial govern. meut with the deliberate purpose Of stabbiug the proposition in the back. It does not believe them Co be poltJica. mouutebanks and assassius. It believes the Transcript to be a traducer.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING

The meeting of the grand camp oi the Arctic Brotherhood which will take place at Seattle next week can be made to work to Alaska'S everlasting good and there Is no doubt but that 1t vii be made to do so. Nothing in connec' tion with Alaska life is so well adver' tised as the Arctic Brotherhood, lI was recognized by the president when he was at Seattle and it has received the attention of the newspapers of the country. Many prominent people, in' cluding members of the congress, the judiciary and other branches ot the government and those prominent tn the affairs of the commercial and proteS' sion world, are members of the order This with the fact that the papers oi Seattle and elsewhere will feature the gathering of AlaSka's elect from over the district will atu act to the camp the attention of the people. This being the case, whatever shall be done will make an impression in important places.
 The camp will be composed ot'dele- gates representing all the different sec tions of Alaska. They will be men of standing in their communities and rep resentative of the best there IS i1 the district. Such a gathering can and doubtless will make an impression that will count for the welfare of this dis trict. There is no question but that Skagway's representation in the grand camp will do it's share ot the work along the proper lines.

"MidwiEter conventions seem TO me
Unwise, and might be regarded, as was
once the case in the state of New York,
as snap conventions. The experiment
was disastrous. and resulted in per-
maneBt injury to the party. A nom
inati6n for office by convention called
with undue haste is almost sure TO reap
the whirlwind of defeat Let consider
alton ard thoughtful care be given TO
this view Of the situation The same
applies to delegates to be selected. In
consfderate haste might bring wreck
to the cause Of those il is sought to
promote.
The call of the national Republican
committee to the states has not yet
been issued. There is time vet for that
