ALASKA'S CHAMPION

In Hon. William Sulzer of New York, Alaska has her most loyal Ftandard-bearer. At every session pf congress his voice is heard pray ing that body to extend to Alaska the right granted by the Constitu- tion-that of making her own laws. He does this despite the knowledge that the moneyed kings are bend ing every effort to prevent legisla- tion which will hinder their efforts for gaining possession of the valu- able coal, oil and copper lands of this territory.
 If the matter of lighthouse con- struetion is brought up in the halls of congress, MT. Sulzer is there with Q big boost for more lights on Alaska's B coast. He knows from personal observation that the 65,- GOO miles of Alaskan sea coast has fle poorest aids to navigation of anE of the possessions of the United StaseS. and that, too, when Alaska is producing more wealth than any other possession of the United States. And even this is growing annually greater.
 When official investigation has been made of affairs as they exist, and a revolution has been brought about; when the common working people of Ala5ka-Amelicans all- are accorded the same privileges as the kings of finance; when the seaeoast and channels of Alaska are studded with lighthouses, buoys and Oeacons from Dixon's Entrance to Point Barrow; when the people Of the territory are given a square deal in the matter of self-gorern- ment; when Hoggatt, Gugg { Co. are reIegated to the pages of ancient history;
 When Freedom from her mountain
 heights
 Unfurls her standard to the air, the name of William F Su1zer will be honored together with that of Seward and the others who have brought the territory into promi- nence and lent a hand in trans forming it from a wilderness to beautiful land, productive of the greatest wealth and of honest, hearty, healthy, patriotic American citizens,
 Here's hoping that Hon. William Su.zsr lives to see the consumma- tioa yl his hearts desire, and to d. on the graves of those who hag opposed him. 1

constructed.

Nothing has yet been done in Wrangell towards a celebration of the Fourth of July, and if we are going to do aught else on that day but suck our thumbs, it is time we were getting started. Owing to the lateness we can hardly arrange for big celebration; but there are several ways in which We could pass the day pleasantly. Among these is our suggestion of two weeks ago to arrange with the owners of the many power boats to take the people, with their grub baskets, to Mill Greek, where there is plenty of room to enjoy themselves. To leave the dull cares of the daily routine for one days communion with Nature would do us all good.

The Patent Medicine Gazette at Juneau is advocating the construc- tion of walk to the baseball park in such way to eliminate a hill;" but the council does not seem to careadam if the people do have to climb the hill. If the Juneau edi- tor is as successful as we have been in our effort to have 6 walk built to eliminate" a hill," he will very likely have more gray hair before he sees a realization of his hopes. The cases, however, are different. At Juneau there is an excuse for the council not to build the walk bat here the council has nothing to do with the matter, and there is no excuse for the walk not being constructed.

The Honorable John ". Corson has been "speechifying" in south eastern Alaska, but he has thus far passed Wrangell up like Q white chip; and 1t is just as well so, for all the good it would do him to stump this town and section. We, of Wrangell, are content to have a real Alaskan do our work in con- gross. Alaska never needed good friend more than she needs one now, and for that reason Hon. Thos Gale will receive the vote of every man, regardless of party, who Is desirous of the privilege of par ticipation in making laws for this territory. The right is sure to pre- vail, and sooner or latsr "powers that be- at Washington, will know the motives of Hoggatt, Gugg & Go. in knocking against the inter- ests of the common people of this territory, and then we'll get what's coming to us. This can be accom-
 plished in no better way than by sitting down hard on Corson and the rest of the Seattle politicians.

ATTITUDE TOWARD ROADS

Some weeks ago. soon after the county nominations, the Maricopa Commercial club issued the following self explanatory letter to the republi- can nominees for the legislature:
 Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 10. 1908. Dear Sir:
 Believing Arizona is entitled to the protection accorded practically every state in the union by adequate railroad rate laws administered by a commis- sion, and to test public sentiment in this respect, we mailed 1000 letters to the representative commercial inter- ests of the territory asking for express siOns and views on the subject
 Replies prove conclusively that all citizens, free from railroad influence, favor such legislation at the coming session. A commission can and should be created that will deal fairly with the railroads and people alike. Max mum rate and fare laws by direct leg islative enactment have usually prov en unsatisfactory. if not imperative, because what may be fair rates on one railroad cannot in justice be applied to another.
 To illustrate: Our present maXiman of 15 cents a ton mile freight and 6 cents per mile passenger. applied to a local line where traffic is light might not be excessive, while the same rates eNacted by through lines, whose local business is merely incidental to over land traffic, carried at a fraction of these rates may be unreasonably high.

Friday about two pm, the pumping station at Maricopa took fire through leakage of gasoline and looked very dangerous for a time, as there were about 600 gallons of gasoline near the blaze. MT. J. K.

 IH reply to your letter asking for an expression of my views regarding the creation of a territorial railway commission to cooperate with the in- terstate commerce commission along reasonable lines,-which I should have answered earlier had I not been delay ed through sickness; l beg to state that l am heartily in favor of the ere ation of such a commission. I do not believe in extreme and ir- rational railway legislation but I do earnestly believe in the modification of many of the existing rates which are burden to our people.

 In reply ct pour letter regarding my views as to a railroad commission, l am running on the platform adopted by the republicans of Maricopa county in conventoin assembled, and l refer you to the plank in our platform fav- bring the creation of a partisan railroad commission and assure you that I am in hearty accord with this plank in the platform.
 I am not a radical on the railroad question for we must have railroads in Arizona, and plenty of them, to devel op our resources, but such a commits sion will, in my judgment, protect the interests of all the people without do- ing any injustice to the railroads.
 Very respectfully yours,

"Please Omit Gifts"

timely reform has been inaugu- rated by a New York young woman who sent, or caused to be sent invi- fations to her wedding bearing these words conspicuously presented: Tt is the brides wish that no gifts be sent The young lady who started this re- form is daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. who was never lacking in courage or in skill to do the right thing at the right time. The daughter seems to have inherited some of the mothers genius for reform.
 If the reform spreads and stays 1t is plain attendance at weddings will be greatly increased, and will enjoy the feeling of liberty and independ- ence. including the bride herself. The present system of assessment whenever a wedding takes place has been overworked, and the reform started in New York may spread throughout the world long before the present century is ended, and possibly before another decade has come and gone.
 Weddings will become popular events when the gift system is eliml- mated, and the young woman in New York bas certainly blazed the way to a reform that would become note worthy in even the twentieth century.

Outdoor Sport Next Summer

Neither President Baugh nor Man ager Vaughn is pfoclaiming an inten- ton to win a pennant this year, but the close observer must have noticed that a batter is being dropped one by one in all vacant places. It begins to look as if a team of high batting power is to be gathered for the ap- preaching season.
 Batting power and team work win games even when pitchers do not pos sess phenomenal curves and speed. Let us hope the management will continue to secure batters. Outside of the pitchers no one should be accepted who cannot bat up to .250
 It is not necessary at this time in the season to declare the pennant wolf, but it is we'll to cultivate in a mild but deeply sympathetic way a con fidence in the home team. Support counts in even these formative days. The coming season is to be trying one, and the sooner we hark back to the enthusiasm of 1906, forgetting, so far as we can, the feelings of 1907, the better the outcome will be on all sides and in all respects. We can at least be sure of one thing, Manager Vaughn intends to secure a first division team. If he does that at the outset good luck and the drift of things may do the rest, and another pennant may become a possibility under the slag- pile. A pennant silhouetted on that slagpile would be picture in gray that would prove very comforting next year.

Elour Prices nere and Elsewhere

The Southern Wholesale GroeerS' association may or may not be re- sponsible for the high price of flour in this city, but some association is, and the real issue relates to proper ad- justment of the price of bread in this district. No issue cuts deeper, not another one affects every person in it.. It's importance is not to be overrated or overstated.
 In New Orleans the best qualities of Minnesota hard grade flour is quoted at $5.55 a barrel; in Memphis at so.6O; in Louisville at $550. These are the quotations for fancy patents-for the highest grade known to the markets named-of wholesale dealers. In Bir- mingham flour of this grade retails at $750 a barrel.
 The real question is this, what should be the difference between the Memphis wholesale price and the Birmingham retail price? At present the difference is $2 barrel. This is too much But what should the diff ference be? Minnesota hard spring patent is quoted in Chicago in whole sale lots at $49O to $5.1O. Here it sells at retail at $7.50 The difference is a heavy tax on every personal tax in very many cases that is not easily homeland the welfare of this dis trict demands that this difference be investigated, and that the facts be made known A district in which bread is unduly expensive is not dis trict that people will willingly. seek, and 1t is the duty of the Commercial club to take hold of this subject with view to making the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth known.

 In the coming primary the democrats of the state are to select four delegates-at- large to the Denver convention. We do not expect to take partisan issue in this matter-except to do our duty in aid ing in having real democrats, Bryan dem- ocrats, named as our states "big four" We wish, however. to go on record now as hoping that one of the four will be to the democratic party in all the years past cannot be questioned, but there is more reason than one for this wish and hope There are thousands of loyal dem ocrats in this state, and as deserving or honor as MT. Tomlinson, but we desire particularly to see MT. Tomlinson elected as one of the delegates at-large because he Is the warm personal friend of MT. Bryan, the most intimate friend the great leader has in the state possibly in the south Knowing this is a Bryan state. certain of the good will and loyal support of all the real democrats of the state, MT. Bryan will expect to see, among the leaders sent to the convention at Denver, the man he has so long hon pred with his personal friendship.

Senator Johnston.

A well known citizen of Birming- ham, who has Just returned from Washington gives a pleasant account of matters in the national capital Of interest to Alabamians. Speaking of Senator Joseph F. Johnston. he said:
 We all expected the senate to take care of himself in Washington, but wo did think that he would have to take a back seat until he had passed his freshman year. The Senate tradition is supposed to make it impossible for new senators to try out their strength before serving a navitiate of humility and probation, so when I walked into the Senate gallery several days ago l began to look for Senator Johnston on the back row on the democratic side, where he had been assigned a seat. He Wans't there. l looked on the next; not tn ere. And the next; not there. then began at the front end, where the democratic patriarchs and leaders are to be found, and discovered him in an excellent seat on the second row, looking as if he were utterly uncon- scious of the fact that he was sitting, not only in an exceptionally well located seat, but on sena torial pre- cedent.
 But his progress has not been at the expense of the most cordial re- spect and good will of his associates. His brief address on the Aldrich bill has been the occasion. of much com ment; particularly in the east. His amendment has been admitted to be the only important change suggested which seems probable of acceptance. It is refreshing to find a democratic senator who is opposed to general measure of the republican majority, as being not wholly acceptable, but who, nevertheless is able to recognize US inevitable passage and can so point edly suggest a betterment that 1t Will meet with acceptance froLl the oppo- sition. As stated by him in caucus recently, Senator Johnston deprecates the position so frequently assumed by the party inropposing measures simpl| because they originate on the other side of the house, without construc- lively aiding in their reformation, when their enactment becomes inevi- table.
 "There is no question but that Sena- tors Johnston and Bankhead Will take care of Alabama in the Senate.
