ONLY HOPE
Home Rule Points Way Out
 for Alaska
Nome Nugeesl


 The efforts of the chamber ot com merce (which are just beginning) to aid in the securing of an elected delegate to ret resent Alaska in the legislature of Alaska, sitting in Washington, are to be commended, on the same principle that "half a loaf is better than no bread" A delegate in congress would be little better than messenger be- tween the hall of the house of rspresen- tatives and the committee rooms, but even this wouli be better than no mes senger at all. Many full-Aedged repre- sentatiyss and senators are little more. But the fight that is before the people os Alaska, in the opinion of the Nugget, and which transcends in importance ths election of delegate, is territorial autonomy. Urder existing conditions if a delegate were elected, he would represent only an unorganiEed district "a territory without form and voidi" but were we given full territorial pow CTS, we could then take our place among the organized territories, and thus have the benefits accruing from home rule. It is apparent that in formulating a system of territorial government for Alaska many serious prot lens would have to be met and many difficulties, largely geographical, must be over come. Alaska. is an empire in itself, and it's great dimensions, coupled with the diverse geographical conditions present a problem whose successful solution demands skill and care. Ulti- mately, of course, Alaska, like ancient Gaul, must be divided into three parts, each the nucleus of 6 future state, but in the meantime, it is submitted, that a territorial form of government, em- bracing Alaska as 1t stands today, would be a long step toward the actual foundation of a comprehensive system Of selt.government. It IS needless to point out that government from and by Washington is an Abject failure, and our only hope lies largely in governing ourselves as our toretathers have done for generations.

AN OBJECT LESSON

Writing under the caption, "How It erowa" the Douglas IslAnd News ex- presses lts very lAudAble pride in the woudsrtul progress of its home town and is givss a very sensible reason for ItSadvHncement. In the last i've years Douglas has gained 100 per cent, in population and the growth has been dong lines that count for permAneney and civic health. In 1900 the place was . more or lees unorgSnized settlement possesslug little or DO ambitions for its future. Nov 1t Is little city of homes in which live people possessing pride in their municipality and confident hope for coming greatness.
 In explaining the changed conditions, che Douglas Island News says:
 ''To some the reason for this rapid growth may not be apparent. To oth- srs who have given Ihe matter careful thought, it Is As plain as day. The first and most important of the events that have combined to bring about this healthy condition Is the fact that as An incorporated town Douglas has been able to take on . measure of self-goy- srnmenG Her people have been priv iledged to partake of the revenues sris' ing from the license tax, and with it build city.
 "Not alone has the increased dignity accompanying this event added to the importance of the town, but, having a governing power oftheir own choosing, the people have felt that they were somebody, that they were not mere slaves, working ou, some other peoples salyation."
 Reasoning from this basis, the truth of which is self-evident to every man who eomprehends the cause and Siguit- icaDcs of American greatness, the News just s truthfully and very ap'ly continues;
 "Ii Is q question if this one condition, which has done % much for Doug'a which has pulled her out of the mire and clay ot . shiftless, indifferent don'teAre village, and has placed her feet upon the solid rock of progress, would not fl applied to the people of Alaska bring about similar results. Give her only taste of selfrule, and AlNkA uIll grow as Douglas has grown.
 'The American people will progress under the freedom which the flag Is supposed to guarantee, but they want 70 be Independent, they want voice in their own affairs, they don't make good slaves"

value to you. If your stomach is
weak or diseased take Kodol Dys-

PaniCky Periods

Parics and panicky times are
not confined to Wall Street nor to
monetary circles. They come to
every community, are peculiar to
every phase of life, whether bnsl'
ness, social or religious We may
not be accustomed to designating
such seasons by the term employed
here, but we are all familiar with
such conditions. In Highland
we have these panicky periods at
lust such time as this, in fact,
this "spell" might be regarded as a
"relapse, for we had scarcely ralll-
ed from the attack of last winter.
We repeat, these panicky seasons
come to us in religious and social
life, and every thoughtful person
may readily find the cause and the
cure. Why not in secular, or every
day affairs? In our own immediate
county we might do well to think
over the following analysis of the
situation:
Cause.-P Prolonged cold, dry or
wet weather, empty hav pens.
small wood.pies, seven-dollar Hour.
eight cent sugar, and-too mech
talk about them.
Cure or preyention.-Discredlt
the ground hog; look at the big
hay-stacks instead of the empty
pens; feast your eyes upon the
thriving cattle of February and DO
not allow March skeletons to haunt
you; inspire hope and confidence
by your talk and conduct, and,
while it is not our intention to
sermonize, inasmuch as future
harvests are i'm the hands Of PrOvl-
dence, and the sugar-supply under
the management of the trust, it
may be helpful and inspiring to
refer to Psalm 37:3, and Matthew
6:3O-34. Perhaps while we look
up these references we will be
toasting our feet by blazing fire,
the cattle beautifully feeding and
The good housewife baking buck
wheat-cakes or biscuits, frying the
fitch and pouring the coffee-(wlth
sugar in it)--all which we predict
ed, last winter, and many other
times, would be denied us or be-
yond our reach. A miserable old
nervous dyspeptic once remarked

hour, and would believe so it |
hadn't been that way hundreds OF
times before and didn't die" Thus
should we all profit by experience
and quit murmuring and despairing
These panics are produced by
extremes, it is true, but they have
their limit, we pass each crisis
safely, and the scare is over-untl
