Even those who have charge of the Alaska -Yukon-P Pacific fair are so im- bued with the Seattle spirit" that they have entirely ignored Alaskans in the management of the exposition, not even giving them representation on the board. AlaskanS have so far been ignored in every way, The gov ernor of the territory was requested to, and did, appoint board of Alaska directors. But they are mere figure heads, and have never been consulted in any manner or recognized by the management. It dot look as if Seat tie cared anything about the benefits that Alaska may or may not receive from holding the fair in that city. The Seattle spirit' seemingly wants it all.

The natural resources of the Su- si.ua and Panama valleys are practi- caIIy unlimited. Wherever man has worked in these valleys, and hills and mountains surrounding them, he has found gold, copper and other precious minerals, to say nothing of the hun dreds of square miles of agricultural country. These resources only await the coming of a population to develop them. To get .the population there must be trunk line railroads through tine heart of Alaska. and that would be the Susiua valley. There are miles, and miles of gravel banks in these valleys that would pay from eight to fifteen dollars aday if cheap transporta- tion was possible. But these vast miner al banks and the broad agricultural country cannot be opened with dog teams alone, the present mode of transportation.
 The Agricultural and stock raising possibilities alone of these valleys are undreamed of. Bleak old Finland supports on it's agricultural products alone over two million people. What could central Alaska do if it had trans portatiOn? Besides these agricuItu- ral possibilities such as Finland has, a kind Providence has given Alaska a much better and a more productive country.

The government-control idea has reached China, but probably the press k not clamoring for it. According to native papers, printed matter is likely to come under the supervision of one of the departments the Ministry of Posts and Communications. If this eX- pectation is realized the political edi- tors that cater to the almon-eyed are going to have a hard time measuring up to the American or British stan dard. They will be estopped from at tacking the government or it's admins tration, nor will they be permitted to make any personal attacks. How will the poor fellows ever work up circu- Iation with such handicaps? It is a surety that the yellow peril has set it's face against the satrron-hued press.- Inland Printer.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE

The republican convention recently held at Juneau was composed of dele gates from every part of Alaska. Each section while obliged to deal withqueS- tion, arising from purely local coudi- tfons. has at the same time 10 deal with other, of broader and deeper im- port, and of the latter kind it was the duty of the convention to consider.
 The conditions which give rise To the consideration of one political question above all others are many and varied, but the inherent desire of each judi- viduaI for greater liberty in the man agemeut of his own affairs, political and otherwise. will ever tend to set aside as mimportant all questions when cOmparedto those impairing that liberty and freedom. These questions become paramount issues and such k the relation of the question of territo- rial goyernmenttothe peopleof Alaska.
 The convention at Juneau has acted on such a question. It has said that the republican party in Alaska will ask the national republican party to insert in it's platform a plank whereby they pledge themselves if elected to enact a law giving Co Alaska certain rights of selfgoyernment heretofore granted Co territories. Should the re- publican party have failed in thlS it would have failed 10 respond 10 the wish of by far the majority of the peo- pie in Alaska.
 In considering the most important changes that a territorial government would effect it is necessary to go to the constitution. The constitution of the United States gives 10 congress the mower 10 make alI needWl rules and regulations respecting the terri tory or other property of the United States. In regard Co the executive and judicial branches of the govern ment the president would continue to exercise appointive and removal power. As to the legislative, congress now act ing as territorial legislature for Alas ka, would glye place to one selected by and acting under the territorial gov erument, subject to such limitations and restraints as congress may impose.
 Ina recent document compiled by the government and under the heading departmental Jurisdiction this in- tere,tiug statement appears. The De- partment of State is the only one not directly represcntedin Alaska" Thus out of nine departments only one is not directly represented in Alaska. Many of,ne hara,,iug delays. due in part ,o the -rea, distance from the na- a9a's capitol. bu, largely 10 depart- mental red tape, would be swept a-.deuadera territorial, government.
