The Juneau hypenated says ''the chances are that those who now have greater liberties concerning the man. ner in which they conduct their busi- ness than have the people of most any state in the Union. will have far more restricted privileges if we accept ter ritorial government. :" The greater liberties enjoyed by the people re- ferred to are only such as the federal laws permit, if indeed they do not specially confer. If these liberties are enjoyed to the detriment of the public good or injury of the public morals, and territorial government will serve to eradicate the evil, if such it be, why not join in the move ment to effect that end? The fact that the restricted privileges" re- ferred to as the prevailing condition in most of the states is due to the people themselves should be accepted without cavil as positive assurance that the people of Alaska may be relied upon to deal intelligently with all such matters. if accorded the op- portunity. The suggestion that Cong ress shall safeguard, in an organic act providing d territorial form of gov ernment for Alaska, the morals of her people against their own possible aggressions, smacks of a pharisaism altogether worthy of the source from which it emenates.

"The governors views are no doubt in harmony with those of the presi- dent and congress, and further there can be but little doubt that the Organic Act will be much to his lik- ing whenever territorial government does come," says the Juneau hyphen- ated. So? In that case, judging from the governors well known views on the question, it will be an act which, instead of enlarging the rights and privileges of the people of Alaska will further limit and restrict them.

The Woman's National Daily tells of a Methodist preacher in Texas who is sixty-four years old, was a confed- crate soldier during the war of the rebellion, fought in forty-one battles, was wounded five times, and has a family of twelve boys and sixteen girls. What puzzles us is how he managed in a strenuous life of such short duration to get together that bunch of boys and girls without put ting in good deal of overtime.

More trouble for the military. President Roosevelt has ordered that the officers must learn to ride real live horses and jump hurdles. He'll be sorry for this if one of them falls of and hurts himself. Just think, for instance of our friend Major (that' title would look better and he more appropriate to his deserving with the General affix) galloping over the roads he is building in Alaska, on a real live horse, and taking" the fallen monarchs of th@ forest for hurdles

There are some people who, having studied the situation, say there are strong probabilities that as result of the bolting of Korea, Japan will find herself in the position of the silly pup that swallowed a bumble-bee. We await inside information.

Now it is asserted that unless the strike of the telegraph operators is not soon settled. the officials of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union will prefer a demand that the federal gov
 ernment seize the property of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies, under the terms of an eX- isting statute giving the government power to take over the properties of the telegraph companies as a matter of public eXpediency, when the com panies are unable to operate them. The statute provides that the United States may for postal, military or other purposes, purchase all telegraph lines, property and effects of any or all companies acting under the provi- sions of the act of July 24, 1S66." The procedure prescribed is the taking of immediate possession and operation by the government. the price to be paid for the properties to be determ- ined later by five appraisers, two oi whom shall be selected by the govern ment, two by the company and the fifth by the four previously selected.

Governor A. B. Cummins, of Iowa, thrice elected to that exalted position, and now candidate to succeed the ven- erable Wm. B. Allison in the United States Senate, is said to glory in the title of agitator, a distinction which he enjoys as he deserves. His partic- ular hobby is tariff reform, and it is doubtful if majority of the people of the country without regard to party, are not seriously inclined to agree with and join him in his agitation of that particular question, and he has no call to be ashamed of being styled an agitator. All the worlds greatest reformers, without exception, were agitators. That the world is what it is today in civilization and enlighten- ment is due. to their efforts, their zeal and their earnestness in the cause they thought good. It should not be inferred that all agitators are right, that every cause fearlessly advocated succeeds. Far more agitators fail and are forgotten than win success. This is no reflection upon their courage, their honesty, on the strength of their convictions, but merely means that what was dear to their hearts did not appeal to the hearts of other men, that their cause would not endure the test. But because some agitators fail is no reason why the noble tribe should be discouraged, or their num- Der grow less. The world needs agi- tators and wants them for it's uplift- ing. We are too inclined to be con- tent with what is. The agitator rep resents change. He may not always be right, in fact often is not, but the world has way of it's own of accept ing truth and letting fallacies die.

Modern slang is confusing. Now when you hear fellow declare that a man has a mighty slim chance for the presidential nomination you naturally think of Fairbanks. That might be all right, but perhaps the next fellow you talk to will grow ironical and slangy at the same time and assert the opinion that the Indianian has a fiat chance" Now we all know that Taft is really the man who has the sure enough fat chance. At this dist ance from the date of nomination the chances of the two of them seem to be about as abroad as they are long. No doubt they both have friends who will stick to them through thick and thin.

'The federal government, says the Juneau hyphenated, is, and always has been ready to grant us good government, but has much hesitancy about granting us bad government, or one that may be controlled by a bad element. Read between these less than half dozen lines is the plain, unmistakable assertion that a territorial form of government would be a bad one for the reason that Alaska has a bad element sufficiently strong to control and subvert it to a bad purpose. It is pleasing to know that such view of the situation is not only not true one, but instead either an ignorant or malicious libel on the people of Alaska.

ure, and he referred to the fact that
