LET PEOPLE ACT


 The time Is fast approaching when the people of Alaska will be formulAt- ing their requests for legislation from the next session of the federal congress. The time is now here when the matter should receive earnest consideration, The declsiou should not be left to the professional lobbyists. That has been done too often,
 The people of Alaska favor seli-gov- srument. They will not be satisfied with anything less than an Alaskan legislature. But heretofore by inactioa they have permitted few professional lobbyists and few Sealtleites, who are co jealous of heir temporary notoriety as earetaksrs of the district that they oppose anything that would make their So-cAlled services useless, to frame up . plan for delegate in congress and a few other crumbs of DO general inter- est and to make good their claim to rsprt sent them.
 It is time to cease paying heed to those who say; "You cannot get self government. Ask for delegate; there is some chance for that" They have worked that for years and nothing has been gained. Let us ask for what we want and for that to which we are en. titled. Senator Carter and Senator Fulton recently agreedlto help us get it. Senator Patterson, Senator Clark, of Montana Senator NeWlands and others are committed to territorial govern msnt, and we will get strong support in the house. If we fail we will at least have the consciousness of having been true to ourselves.

The oalIsrs nons Man.

Two young men who must have been medical students boarded an Angora car late one night with a fully articu- lated skeleton. Each had one arm linked with that of the skeleton, whose bones rattled grewsomely as they walk. cd to the forward end of the car and gravely seated themselves with their lnanlmate companion between them. Between the grinnlng teeth of the skei. eton was a cigarette. and derby hut adorned its shining skull The car was rather crowded, and the other passen- gers, most of whom were men, gazed In open mouthed astonishment at the strange spectacle. The two young feh lows. however, pretended to be uncon- scious of their surroundings and held such converse with the skeleton as 'sroo bad you didn't wear your mack lntosh, Bill; I'm afraid you'll catch cold" or, "Say, Bill, better throw away your cigarette or the conductor will put you on."
 When the conductor came through for the fares, one of the young men handed him 15 cents, and he rang up three fares without a word of com ment. At Sixteenth street young girl entered the car and looked around for a seat. Here. Bill" exclaimed one of the students, "where's your gallan tryi Get up and give the lady a seat Then he yanked the skeleton out of It's place and set 1t on hls knees. The girl gave one sereech. fed to the back plat form and insisted that the conductor stop the car and put her or.

One of the things commented upon approvingly by Gov. McInnes in one of his speeches at Dawson was the good feeling that exists between the British and the Americans in the north. Be said he noticed the broad fraternal spirit when he arrived at sksgway and that 1t had been in evidence in White horse and at Dawson. It is safe to pre- dict that it will not grow less because of the coming of Gov. McInnes.

To Annul the Duke Marriage.

suit for the annulment of the marriage
of Brodie L. Duke who is now in a sani-
tarium at Flushing, l.. L., to the woman
who called herself Alice l.. Webb. has been
instituted in the supreme court by Dukes
relatives. AS was learned yesterday the
papers in this suit were served upon Mrs.
Duke on Saturday, the day after her hus-
band had been committed to Bellevue. The
allegation is made In the suit that Duke
was mentally irresponsible both at the time
of his marriage and for some time prior to
it. Detectives employed by the lawyers
and by Mr.. Dukes son and brothers have
been for some weeks past gathering evil
dence which will be used in this suit and
which has already been put at the disposal
of the district attorney for any action
which he may see fit to take.
This evidence goes to show that for some
weeks prior to the marriage of Duke and
the Webb woman at DR.. Parkhursts church
on December 10 they had been living at the
Hotel Winton. a Raines law hotel at Park
avenue and 10th street. With them
