TIME 10 ACT Alaska Should Ask For Self
 government
[Fairbanks Newsl


 The Washington Posts point with regard to the Alaska question is well taken. The Post says that the people lay too much stress on the value of a delegate from this territory and too little iu demanding territorial govern ment. The Post says that congress Is we'll advised ss to the wants of Alaska and is represented by men from other places; that a delegate without vote could do DO more than they have done in calling attention to the needs of the country. The Post suggests that Alas ka needs some form of government fol- lowing the old lines of the territories before her or some other that may be especially suited to her magnificent distances and widely separated settle ments. It is a problem that is respect fully referred by the Post to the com mistees having charge of such matters in congress.
 But the trouble is that the commit tees having charge of such matters know little about the conditions for which they are called upon to provide a form of government. There are those In congress who are willing enough to labor for Alaska if they knew what to do to please her. But those who 90 from Alaska and offer advice and so- called information are not of one mind. They do not tally as to what Alaska wants and should have, or as Go the re- lative importance as to this and that. This has been the dispair of those who wished to do something for the district And the reason that those in Washing ton have urged the matter of a dele gate rather than a system of local gov ernment was the knowledge of the in- disposition of the large majority in con gress to grant even so much and the open opposition of influential members of both houses to grant anything in the way of either T, presentation or self government. A voteleSs delegate was asked for and urged with some cont dence iu the face of the grant of similar privileges to Porto Rico and Hawaii. And yet that small concession was de- uied. A delegate would at least speak with authority for Alaska and he would go to Washington instructed by conven- tions as to what the district desired congress to do for it.
 The district, however, has grown i'm mensely since last winter, thanks chiefly 10 that fretful but famous tele- gram from Valdez. Influential news papers of the whole country have spok- en in Alaska's behalf Sentiment has been manufactured and Alaska, by right of it, is now in position to de- mand not only a delegate but local selt- government and to expect congress- to grant 1t to her

THE p.opHrr HAs SPOKEN

William H. Taft has spoken again, This time be has settled the question of government for Alaska, With the yellow men of the Philippines, the Kanakss ai Hawaii and the black men ofPorto Rico the people of this dis trIct are to be governed by an insnlar bureau with headquarters at Washing ton.
 One Of the ssrangest things among the affairs of men Is how the American people managed to get along before this man Taft came on the the stage to tell them what to do and how to do it. Recently he abolished the jury system in one breath. More recently he de- eIded that the doors must be thrown down for the admission of the yellow race of the Orient Now he has regu- lated Alaskan affairs. Probably he will settle the other problems of American government as soon as he shall have had time to unload bis wonderful mind.
 There are "a few people in the United States, the chief prophet among whom is Tafs, who seem to believe that every thing has been run wrong in this eoun- try. There has been too much liberty accorded the people. Too many safe guards have been set up against the sncroachmeptso oI the executive and jud i eiGl departments. Too much power has been permitted to remain iu the hands of the people and their elected repre- sentatiysS Undue reverence has been shown for the principles enuucisted in the Declaration ot Independence. The constitution has been too respectfully regarded.
 These people, to be whose spokesman TAft has chosen himself, seem to feel that they have a divine mission Ou earth to set things right Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln were either mAudlin sentimentAlists or ar rAAt demAgogues, who did not upder- EsAnd the true science of government, the revelation of which the Almighty reserved until the advent upon earth Of TAft & Co.

The reinS Of Su- thorlty must be taken from the people and placed in the possession of Russian like bureaus, which in turn must be dictated to by Aruler, of strong arm, changing spur and Iron heel, like unto such an one as Taft -Tait, the man who denied Chief Enginer Wallace the right to scs N a free moral agent, the man who would strike down the right of citizen to q trial by jury of hls peers, the man who seeks to extend the conflict of races on our continen the man who desires to govern Alaska through .

Yokahoma, Sept, I3.-The meet

anti demonstration. Fourteen po-
lice boxes were burned. 81 police
man injured, and two civilians
severely hurt. Many arrests were

The police say that the meeting

ers was unauthorized. according to
the police and the disappointed
audie nee denounced the swindle
and demanded the return of their

YORK COTTON LETTER
Active Demand Puts New Life Into Mar
ket Better Values

New York, Sept. T4.-The de
velopment Of an active demand fol
October put new life in the market
with the result that it showed
much better values with the large
business. Tha demand for Octob
er came partly from big shorts and
spot dealers having out hedge sales
and from active buying by clique
brokers who appear to have started
long expected and much talked of
deal in those months. A maximum
advance OF twenty points carried
the option up to o.56 and shows
what its possibilities are in case
the clique should decide to demand
delivery of cotton on all its con-
tracts.
While this undertaking would
undoubtedly be successful for the
time in driving up the market, the
subsequent course of prices would
depend entirely upon the attitude
Of the spinners and the condition
of the southern spot markets and
movement Of the crop. These are
the largest and most important
factors which must be considered
as the deal in October is inquest
ionably purely local affair and
may eliminate with the driving in
of shorts in that option
Its relation to the rest of the
market caused a sympathetic adj
vance iu the rest of the months;
and rise of ten points in middling
cotton here to the basis of go.
It remains to be seen how large
the speculative interest outstand-
ing in October is, and how much
short interest there is left to squeeze
out. 1t is, however, believed that
the pool is willing and ready to
take at least from $4,000 on its
contracts should it become necess-
ary.
In the present manipulative
character of the market, it is ex-
tremely difficult to forecast the
tendency of prices from day to
day, but it still seems to US as
though the chances are morefavor-
able to the bull side at the moment
and that we shall see a continua-
ton Of steadiness with more proba-

Facts Told About Assault on Dr. For
 syth in Korea.

Washington, April 29.--rhe State Department today received detailed report from Minister Allen dated at Seoul, Korea. of the facts connected with the assault by robbers upon Dr. Forsyth, an America missionary doc- tor of the Southern Presbyterian Church of Nashville. Tenn.
 This missionary has cousin living in Washington who some time ago sought the intervention of the State Department in this case and copy of Minister Aliens report has been sent him.

MT. Allen says the attack occurred near the open port of Kun san, south of Seoul, at a village called KankoI in the early morning of March 12, Dr. Forsyth having gone to that place to assist professionally Ko- rean who had been similarly attacked. The doctor was in a critical condition on March 15. when last heard from.

 EXpOsitIOn COmpany.

Exposition company.
 Norfolk, Va, April 29.-The death of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee will be great loss to the Jamestown Exposition Company, of which he was President, and which had achieved much under his manage ment and direction, but the exposition work will go ahead under the manage ment of Chairman C. Brooks John ston. of the Board of Governors, until a successor to General Lee has been named by the exposition company di- rectorate.
 General Lees influence had been largely depended upon in securing State appropriations for Jamestown and he already had accomplished much in this direction. It was the idea to have him go abroad and secure representa- ton at the coming exposition for Flu rope and other courts after several States of the Union had been brought into line. This work must now be taken up by others.
 All flags on public buildings are at half mast and the city bell was tolled today in respect to the memory of Gen eral Lee.
 Mayor Riddick today ordered the city in official mourning out of respect to the memory of General Fitzhugh Lee, and directed that the mayors office and other buildings coming under the EX- ecutive Department of the city be draped in black.
