change" They want an active,
daring leader, who will work a
change even if he has to take mat

Above all, the people want Fe-
deral control. States lines are be-
coming too narrow and States
rights too obsolete and limited to
meet the popular demand for
strong arm unrestrained by any
laws or limitations, and this sort
of astonishing breaking away from
constitutional principles and safe
and sacred traditions and doc
trines is nowhere more plainly ap-
parent and loudly advocated than
in the Southern States, once the
stronghold, and the last strong
hold, of the conservative Demo-
cracy.
1t is astonishing to hear on all
sides loud and general demand
for Federal control of railroads,
Federal control of insurance,
Federal control of health and qua
rantine. When the people set all
these, as they soon will, if not by
act of Congress, at least by execu-

But it appears to us that the in

Icons prophesy is about to be rea-
lized in the sense that the world
is to be Republican-not Cossack.
Japan found the Cossack more
ferocious in looks than redoubta-
bic in fight, and the ground swell
for the unsbacklipg of the masses
in Russia, has driven the autocra-
tic Car to the expedient of sndea-
voring to stem the rising tide of
republicanism by holding out the
bait of a counterfeit popular as
sembly.
The long oppressed masses will |
soon dispel this shadow and Gre
ate the substance of Democratic
government in the citadel of auto |
cracy.
In the United States, the trend |
OF popular sentiment is plainly for
the decentralization of power and
its exercise in the broad est mea-
sure possible by tho people.
This is why the primary cleo
ton method of nominating the
party candidates is supersediug
the packed caucuses and conven-
tions of the now execrated boss
rule. This reform is being effect
ed in every section of the country.
The people everywhere are es-
tablishing the sway of Democracy,
which is the irreconcilable enemy
of autocracy in its every form. and
this is why they are demanding
government control of some things
that are antagonizing Democratic
rule.

Governor Mead 
 In Difficulties

SPOKANE. Wash., Sept. 22. A move ment started in Eastern Washington a short time ago to unseat Gov. Mead is spreading throughout the state. The governors alleged use of the patronage and appropriations of the legislature to reward personal friends, is not believed by many to be for the best interests of the state.
 Lawyers have held that he had laid himself open to impeachment. Senator Ankeny, of Walla Walla, and Charles Sweeny, of this city, are said to favor the action proposed by those behind the unseating movement.

Rampant Man Drowned
 Al Mouth Of The Tanana

s. F. Wiehl, resident of Rampant, who has been working the past season as deckhand on the government trans port Jeff Davis, was drowned on the Tanana week ago.
 The accident occurred owing to the grounding of the Davis at the mouth of Panama. Wiehl and the mate of the steamer was sent ashore in small boat with an anchor and coil of line. The boat was leaking badly and high wind was blowing. The mate rowed whil+, Wiehl bailed. Suddenly the boat filled and sank. The mate called to Wiehl to save himself and swan ashore.
 The mate reached shore safely, but Wiehl was not seen after the boat sank. It is thought that Wiehl was thorough ly chilled from the bailing, and caught a cramp. The deceased was a native Glencoe, Mcleod county, Minn. and 30 years of age. His brother, Joe Wiehl, is an old-timer and is now living in Rampant, as are also his nieces, Mrs. Fleishman and Miss Katie Wieht.

Would Govern
 By Committee
From the Skagway Alaskan.

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 20. As a result of the recent visit of Speaker Cannon and party, consisting of several mem bers of the United States congress, sen- ators and representatives, to Alaska, many reforms are proposed for that district. It has been decided by Speak CT Cannon and those who agree with him that one delegate in congress will not be enough for the district. and if it should be granted any there should be three of them. Instead of this propo- sition plan will be proposed to congress to establish special Alaska committees to look out for legislation for that dis tfict. Itis believed that this will be the most satisfactory plan. The plan proposed is similar to the manner in which the District of Columbia is ham, dled.
