takes on the resonant dignity of demand The Eepubli convention must record that demand and with it must go this oud strong unequivoca protest against further ntermeddng by any federal appontees in affairs in which the present governor has manifested garng lack of sym pathy as well of knowledge, There are two things therefore the republican convention has before to do
 First: To name man who is sound on the question of trrrora government having ability to properly present the desires of the people in this regard
 Second; To record protest of the free people of Alaska against misrepresentation of their desires by federal appointees and against interference by them with theeorts of the elected delegate in performing duties which the people send him to perform.

4 LOUD CALL FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF ALASKA

The suspicion which hovers the proceedings, to be- at Ketchikan lends much interest to that occasion The declaration was made direct at the convention last night that chairman Sheldon had sold out-sold out to Hoggat and the antiterroriass that is to say. This is very serious charge The action of Mr. Shedoni in joining with Mr. Irving in the call for the convention following this by reapportonmento of the representation after he had dele gated that properly soto his district commit and without much giving notice to these mitteemen, certainly justifes this suspicion
 Mir Sheldon when here few days ago had the charge put to him and he denied it fatly It to be hoped that the developments of the convention will show that he has committed no greater fault than an of judgement that he will be found true to the faith that was reposed him.
 The trouble is, however, that it will take long time to clear up the tange resulting Whoever the chair avors in the convention must necessarily fall under the suspicion he has himself engendered.
 to be presumed that his vasciatng action had at least definite provocation end in view which the other members of the committee not made party To say the least it is very unfortunate.
 The republican convention to deserve and secure the votes of the people in the coming must who is above suspicion two cardinal points, He must first of all be rock bottom the question of terri tora government The party has declared this it's fun damenal doctrine and any juggling disposition toward sidestepping will be fatal However much the federal ap ponees may be opposed to this doctrine the people for it and the people cast the votes Mere suspicion handicaps the candidate-and there must be of it. The nom of the republican convention must be rock bottom the question of territorial government That's the first thing.
 The great American principle of plain manhood is here involved And dove-aied coroary of this principle involved with the concrete proposal for self government the declaration to be made by this republican convention that the federal appontees whatever title they carry must STOP NLEDDLING WITH THE. BUSINESS OFI OUR DELEGATE. The interference of the governor of this district with the elected delegate of the people in the performance of work which he sent by the people, to Washington to accomplish persisted in the whole winter through despite the repeated ebukes of the people them selves has amounted to scandal and has aroused that spirit that lies back of the call for self government until that call

and that the merchants have had to employ additional clerks to attend to their business.
 Banks Show Big Growth. q can show you a letter from the president of the largest bank in our city who was d member of the com mittee that came to protest. in which he says that with:2 one year after the whisky joints and gambling dens were closed his deposits increased S1.700.- 900. He says in his letter: We think we have the accounts of more than 50 per cent Of the business men of this city and have talked with a large number of them about the effects of the closing of the saloons on their business. With a few exceptions they have stated that they are pleased with the results. l believe this feeling is shared by large majority of the pro- fessiOnal men and other intelligent citizens
 'The president of one of our savings banks has written me that not only has its business increased 50 per cent. but that 75 per cent of the new GUS toners are. of the class that formerly spent all their money for liquor.
 Converted From High License.
 "One of our business men who was asked his opinion wrote 10 friend, saying: I have been in business in Kansas City, Kan, for seventeen years and there are more houses, and good houses, being built: more people are buying homes. and good homes and seeking investments, than in any year since I have lived here. Like most of the business men of the city, in the past I have believed in high license and local option. Now I am in favor of closing the saloons and keeping

WHERE PROHIBITION

Result of an investigation by William E. Curtis Of the Chicago Record Herald.

William Curtis the famous special correspondent of the Chicago Record Herald recently investigated the effect of the prohibition law on Kansas City Kansas; to find out whether 1t pro- hibited the sale of liquor and what If any effect it had on business. He found that it was rigidIy enforced with the following result stated by Assistant State Attorney C. w. Trick ett Of whom MT. Curtis asked:
 What has been the effect on busi- ness2"
 Have you heard of Kansas City, Kansas, being wiped off the map?' re- piled MT. Trickett. Have you heard that Wyandotte county has become a desert? Have you heard of any of our banks failing or any of our merchants closing their stores? Have your heard of anybody going bankrupt?
 'On the contrary. the committee of two bankers and three merchants who, as 1 told you, came to protest against the enforcement of the law about two years ago will now tell you or any body that they were mistaken and that the abolition of liquor selling has been Of decided benefit instead of injury to the business interests of the city. They will tell you that the deposits of our c9o,9oo since the saloons were closed

 Building Gain Extraordinary
 'The people who objected to the en- forcement of the prohibition law" con tinued Mir. Trickett. said that it would destroy the prosperity of our city: they said it would stop the erection of buildings. But the official, records show that during the year after the closing of the saloons, from July 1. 1906. to July l. 1907, Kansas City show ed an increase of 209.7 per cent in building operations, the largest of any city in the union. The next largest gain was ~ per cent. Three times as many laboring men bought homes in our town last year as ever before in it's history.
 No Use For the Jail.
 The effect upon crime and disorder has been similar The closing of the saloons has reduced our court expenses S25.000 a year, which was formerly spent in the prosecution of criminals.
 During the time the saloons were open there was never a term of court that did not require from six to eight weeks to try criminals. Since then no term has been more than three weeks, and one term We did not have a single criminal for trial This month the same court opened it's session and it took only three days to try all the criminal cases on the docket
 Before the saloons were closed the city fathers were wondering where to get money to build an extension to the jail. Today it's doors hang idly on their hinges. We have no use for the jail We have"

LET Tilt VICTIMS SAY
 WHETHER DRINK Is CURSE
Not Only the Drunkard But His Suf- fering Family.

The following from a prohibition pa has been. submitted by MT Cham- pagne of Mesa:
 Ask the shame faced wife and tat tered children,
 The better element in one of our Oklahoma towns were fighting to get rid of the saloon. The local paper criticised them, saying: If people don't like the saloon they can leave it alone, and if they leave it alone it can't bother them.
 There was a never more dangerous lie. Go to the rt-broken, shame faced wife of q drunkard. She has al- ways let the saloon alone. Ask her if the letting the saloon alone has say ed her from its curse; ask her ragged, hungry, frightened, disgraced children if their letting the saloon alone has protected them from sorrow. Ask the dying engineer. whose train has gone in the ditch by the hand of -a drunken Switchman. if letting the saloon alone has assured him safety. Ask the grocer who has failed and lost his home be- cause he could not collect from men whose money had gone over the bar, if his lettinS>the saloon alone had kept if from hurting him Ask the man whose taxes are increased by extra po- lice, jail and court expenses caused by drink. ask the woman insulted on the street by drunken roWdies. ask the man whose home is pierced by the stray bullet from d drunken marks man. or whose barn is burned by the drunken tramp. ask the invalid kept awake and made worse by drunken revels. They have all been hurt by the saloon though they let it alone. - Oklahoma Sunday School Worker.
