RLEEE.f SENTINEL
THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1905.

Some of the "wise men of the east have about as much practical sense and idea of this country that they are assisting in making laws to control, as q Berkshire shoat Las of Sunday CT q holiday. Take, for instance. Senator Platt of Connect ieut, who opposed the Alaska dele gate bill, giving as his reason for opposing the measure, that it might be an opening wedge to the ultimate admission of 8 state,' and he does mot believe that statehood should ever be granted to outlying possessions of the United States" What does this solen mean by "optlying possessions?' If he will take h:s map and study it, he will fnd that Alaska, that is knocking for admission into thecompact that forms the great American Union, is B trile further away than several of the states, it is not in the sense tha. he would convey, an outlying possession.n and is as much enti- tied to due recognition as were Or eson. Washington and other sec tioaS that have been given state hood. The excuses of some of the statesmen who are opposing legis- la sn for Alaska, are but iimsy p.=.e-:ts of men who sfouId have r.eds broad enough to consider tae welfare of a citizenship in yaase veins courses as pure Amer jean blood as can be found on the continent. Ii ii is the disposition of the American lawmakers to ha1d the narrow views that Alas | as are entitled to no higher con- sideration than d lot of Filippinos, seris and imbeciles, for God sake let them turn us loose and We be- lieve that it will not take us long to demonstrate to some of those great" men that Alaskans are cap able of self,goyernment in its high est sense.

Town election fer seven council men and q school board of three occurs one week from next Tuesday April 4th, and 8 nominating con- yention to select material for these offices will be held Friday evening, 2ith. To select these officers is a matter in which every citizen who has the welfare of the town at heart should interest himself or herself. Those who have served the town in both capacities the past two years, have performed well and faithfully their duties, and owing to their management, after making many needed improvements and paying necessary running expenses, leave in the treasury something like $4,- GOO. so that We are now assured of having a good public school build ing constructed withoutin the least bnrdening the town. And what has been true of the council may also be said of the school board, through whose able efforts and ju- dicious management We have had good schools the past two years. Those who follow in the footsteps Of our present officials and contin- te the work so well begun should be of our best citizens, and there is but one way to get them, and that i5 by turning out and nominating ands then electing them. It is not only the right, but it is the DUTY of every citizen to assist in this.

Peat Industry Would Pay.

The Sitka Cablegram says that in an address delivered by Prof. c. c. Geolgeson, that gentleman call ed attention to the vast deposits of Peat in Alaska, and says that some day it will create an industry that will make fortunes. The SEN T1NEL heartily endorses the opinion of Prof. Georgeson on that propo- sition, at least so far as this section of the district is concerned. Time and again the editor of this paper has asserted that the tract of land northeast of town known as "The Flats" is almost one continuous bed of Peat, and his opinion has been backed up by numerous men who have been familiar with sec tions that produced large quanti ties of this high,grade fuel.
 Prof. Georgeson states that Alas ka's Peat is of an excellent quality, and to illustrate the fact put into the stove some pieces that were ob- tained from the government farm near Sitka, and it burned readily and produced an intense heat. The bogs range in dep,l fr.:n .s-..- to fifty feet. If what Prof. Georgeson says be tre--and We have every reason to believe it-the probabili- ties are that the fuel question in Alaska will be revolutionized with in the next few years and that AL askans will cease to pay tribute to King Coal.

cult. We know that no people needs such high traits of character as that people which seeks to gov ern it's affairs alright through the freely expressed will of the freemen who compose it. But We have faith that we shall not prove false to the memories of the men of the mighty past. They did their work, they left us the splendid heritage we now enjoy. We in our turn have an assured confidence that Ne shall be able to leave this heritage un- wasted and enlarged to our children and our children's children. To do so we mus: show, not merely in E., rises, but in the every day affairs of life, the qualities of prac- ,ical intelligence, of courage, oi hardihood and endurance, and above all the power. of devotion to lofty ideal, which made the great men who founded this republic in the days of Washington, which made great the men who preserved this republic in the days of Abra- ham Lincoln.

The SENTINEL would not presume to dictate, but it would mildly sug- gest that while that neat school house now under contemplation is being built. that it be prepared for heating from a furnace in the base- ment. The extra cost would be made up in fuel saved in a few months, and the heating would be much more satisfactory than by stoves, and everything could be kept so much heater and cleaner in the school room. Just a suggestion

Those Alaska eagels came to the front again, nationally, at the in auguration of the President. The Frelinghuysen Lancers, an old po- litical organization of Newark, N. J., carried one of the birds in the procession, and it was largely com mented upon by the press. The SENTINEL is overly proud of those eagles. While they are Alaska birds, the idea of capturing them was born in the brain of a Wran- gell man; they were caught at Wrangell, prepared by Wrangell taxidermist and mounted of Wran- 9ell yellow cedar shields cut out at the Wrangell sawmill and painted by a Wrangell artist, the staffs were made, carved and painted by a Wrangell Indian and a stall wart republican of Wrangell car, ried them east. Is any Wrangell- ite to be blamed for feeling proud whenever he sees those birds men toned? We'll we guess No!

Loss OF sleep MEANS
Loss Of mind .
Inability to Sleep is Natures Plain
Warning of an Exhausted Nerv-
Gus System.
DR.. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills,

When you overwork any muscle or
set of muscles they tire and must
have rest. What is true of muscle is
doubly true Of the BRAIN, as from it
emanates all power to work, to act, to
think. The brain ia full of little cells
that during the waking hours are
never quiet in their efforts to furnish
to every organ the power to do it's
duty. Rob these little cells of their
rest at ni9ht-keep them at work all
the time, and soon they tire, refuse to
act, fail to generate nerve force and
the system goes to ruin. Bromides,
aedatives, opiates, only hasten the end
they do not build up, they tear down.
The true remedy, the only cure. lies
medicine that vitalizes, reinvigorates,
overworked little cells. give them
rest and quiet and enables one to
sleep naturally and easily again.

LYNQHING AND The LAW.

Minneapolis Tribune: The Southern
people are the purest Americans and
Anglo-Ssxons We have. They are
naturally as law abiding as any people
In the United States. But their re-.
spect for the law has been corrupted
in the long travail of slavery, civil
war, reconstruction and race conflict.
Human life IL held cheaply by courts
and people. Homicide il tolerated
and murderers escape through thu
meshes Of technical law. This en-.
courages more horrid crimes which nc
community can endure and live.
Private vengeance begins with punish.
ing these. 1t ends with lynohing 70,
trivial crimes on bare suspicion.
All this corruption of the people be-
gins with the corruption Of the courts.
The court records of Southern states,
and of Northern lynohing tates al
we'll, show long list of unhung MUIR
derers preceding every case Of lynch
ny. Only states that punish crime
are free from this disgrace of Ameri
can civilization. There is nothing in
Minnesota to make 1t different from
the rest.
Fortunately the Minnesota courts
have good record in this matter.
The last case of the crime that pro-
vokes lynching was admirably dealt
with. The sheriff stood off q mob and
brought the prisoner safe to jail. The
district court gave him a fair. but
quick, trial and he is serving q long
sentence. This record will protect the
perpetrators of the Little Falls outrage
better than the whole national guard.
