 a @eaaaa aa@@@@@@ < SPEECH Of NR. G()RSON

Briefly, the speech last night by Gov eruor HoggatCs candidate made these points:
 l. The first half of it dwelt upon Al aska, the quality of it's people, its great resources, prospects, splendid future. He would rather represent such con sJitucucy than any other,
 ?. This people is entitled to and should have the right of self-goyern- ment, town aud territoraI. He would not say what kind of government should be accorded it but had faith in the peo- pie, that they would exercise judgment and ss'-restraiut iu framing such scheme of government as is best suited to their peculiar needs and conditions.
 8. Men may doubt the utility of estab- fishing Self.governmeut put he never met a miner who would say be was content with the present conditions. The mining laws of Alaska need much amending. The title of a miner to the claim he stakes should be made secure, as is the title Of a homesteader, so long as be works it in good faith; the power of attorney should be done away with.
 t. To secure anything at che hands Of congress the delegate from Alaska must be of the same political profession as the dominant party 10 congress; that ii the democrats were in power he would advise Alaska to send demo crat as It's delegate. A bill must have the party endorsement or 1t is dead already. He read Mir Gales declsra. ton ,hst he would not be a candidate before any partizau convention" and followed 1t by saying it was futile to send political hermsphrodiLe to congress.
 5. The people becoming restless and mauy leaving, the speaker begged them net to do so as he would detain them but moment longer and conclud ed with a peroration oh Alaska, Ter rivers, forests, fisheries, mines and people.

SOME GOOD POINTS

It will be seen the speech con- ,aius some good points. It sounded we'll. Bu, DO man believed word of it, that 1t meant what 1t said, or that 1t toreshadowed any good to come 10 him excep, by the principle Of contradiction. Ify you were not iu favor of territorial government you nigh. applaud, of course, since the speech was sufficiently pleasing to the ear to, lead to you to be- Ileve it might fool the other man who favored territorial government and lead him into casting his vote for Mir. Cor SOD, when YOU might then enjoy a laugh Int that is the hypnotism of couceit .h ., leads some to believe they aloe are wise to wlIt is goiog or. And all the while the crowd is already
 enjoying the joke. Imm 'dIa,ely upon the c,.c'usion oi the speech, the au- diencs fling out in silence, the band in the employ Of Mir. Corson not reused by his words Co play a tune at the 6nish

AN HONORABLE AMBITION

The Alaskan is In full accord with Mir. Corsop as to the dignity and honor attaching to the office of representative iu congress of the people of Alaska. It has been the habit of some to sheer at tbls office as one not worth while to men worth while. Perhaps from the stand point of the mere money getter this is true. Sixty thousand pioneers the estimate of Mir. COrsOn- developing vast empire, neglected and ignored by congress in every way save In the matter of levying taxes, seek a voice that will speak for them before the tribunal that alone has the power to grant them relief. It seems to us that there Is opportunity here that should appeal to the high ambition of men Of high attain ments. But honor attaches to an hon. orable office only when acquired and sustained Iu honor. Mir. Corson is mak- ing his campaign upon his declared belief in territorial government and 20 man believes he means it. He was nominated by the governor who de- clares openly, five ars not ripe"

might be allowed to some other but not to the nominee of Mir. Hoggat5, for Mr. Hoggatt believes only the SALOON ELEMENT tavOrs territorial government and as whole i've are not ripe" The soli-restraln5 we would be expected to exercise under such a guiding hand would oyertax us we fear,
The daily Alaskan., 1908-06-17
WITHOUT DISSENT
 As to the third point we are all of one mlnd-the mining lays need fixing.
\ DOCTRINE OF SHlRE

That a man asking the support of republican votes should advance the doctrine that, should Mir. Bryan bo elected president those of us that do not b lieve in him or his doctrines must straightway vote contrary to our con- vIctions in order that we be granted what Is our absolute due as citizens of the republic, is altogether worthy of one who. out Of the hand of Governor Hoggatt breaches the doctrine of ter ritorial government. And this follow ing directly upon flowing eulOgy upon Alaskan manhood. Out upon such principle and such republicAnlsm Some others of us know why we are republicans and why we are demo- crats and will refuse to prostitute our belief and our principles to secure our rights, however long they may be de- iered. But the argument has DO more truth to it than principle. Alaska has no vote on any question before con- gres8-the vote is expressly denied, The deleL ate is expected to take nc part in the determination of affairs oi the nation which, while there, he sees passing before him. He is there to ad' wise congress of our wishes and that Is all.
 When congress considers a plea for the paving Of Pennsylvania avenue in Washington city has 1t first to be-de- termlned whether the people who live there are democrats or republicans? The cases are IdentIcal-the congress holds exactly the same relation to AL aska as it does to the District of Colum. bla save that the one IS under it's eye and the other is far of. This argu. ment, which will be used over the ter. ritOry, is intended to fool the untbink, ing.
 But the euloRy paid by Mr. CorsOn to the manhooI of Alaska is deserved, The men who come up here are self reliant, self-respectInG, capable mon pot many of them can bo fooled with SC easy bait. They love simplicity and plain honesty. They will manifest an instance of their likes when Mir. Gale comes along a little later.
The daily Alaskan., 1908-06-17
UNANIMOUS

To the second count there is no dis sent. However 1t is we'll known that Mir. Corson is decryIng the bill intro duced by Mr. Gale on the ground that "it does not provide for full territorial gov ernmcnt," and his own claim upon the confidence of the people rests, he says, In his determination to advocate such
 for us. The Alaskan favored the Gale compromise, 1t will be remembered, on this very ground which Mir. Corson ad- vances in his speech-that it offers a form of relief that nigh, be developed from year to year. But however much Mir. Corson may say he believes in and trusts the people the people do not trust Mir. Corson. The latitude he asks in framing our self-government bill

FORAKER And TAFT
GIVE UP FIGHT TO
THEODORE BURTON
OHIO Senatorship Settled by
Withdrawal OF Two Big
Contestants.
Ancient Enemy of Administra-
ton is Ont.
END OF GREAT REACTIONARY

Columbus, o., Dec. 31.-Charles
Taft announced his withdrawal from
the race for United States senator.
He announced that his forces will
support Congressman Burton, as the
result of a conference last night be-
tween Taft and Burton. Foraker also
Announced his withdrawal. Thin
leaves Burton practically without
opposition.
Congressman Theodore Burton has
been representing the Cleveland, o..
district for a number of terms, and
| is chairman of the rivers and harbors
committee. Under his supervision.
much of the graft connected with the
rivers and harbors appropriations has
been eliminated He was slated for
secretary of the treasury. Senator
| Joseph Benson Foraker, whose term
expires in 1909. has been senator
from Ohio two terms. He was twice
elected governor of the state. Charles
p. Taft is proprietor of the Cincin-
natl Times-Star and brother OF the
president-elect.
The election of Mr.. Burton, who
lives within 100 miles of Senator
Charles Dick, gives the northern part
of the state two senators and leopard
ICES Senator Dicks seat when his
term expires. Both Mr.. Taft and
Senator Foraker live in Cincinnati,
and probably one or both of them
will contest for the seat of Senator
Dick.
The retirement of Senator For
aker takes one of the bitterest enc
mics of President Roosevelt and Mr..
Taft and one of the strongest re-
dictionaries out of the senate.

all earnings were carried forward to

carry all earnings to the surplus and

Beautiful Italy.

Naples, Dec. 3f.-Those who
have explicit knowledge on the
subject agree that the center of
the cataclysm was the Straits of
Messina. which also is the GEN.
ter OF the volcanic zone, whose
highest peak. Etna, is now
silent. From this base the Tel
Iuric disturbance extended, abat-
ing little by little, northerly as
far as Cape vaticano and SOUTH
ernIy as far as the Bay OF Ca
tania, ravagiDg the western re-
gion of CaIabria and the eastern
coast of Sicily for nearly 100
miles.
IL is impossible accurately TO
ascertain the extent of the move
ment east and west in the in
land regions, but IL is certain
that the BEAUTY of one OF the
most charming sections of South
ern Italy has been irrevocabIy
despoiled. Vineyards are mo-
more; waving rows Of lemon,
orange and olive trees have been
torn up and the enchanting coast
line. with its soft and fragrant
foliage, has been converted into
"a hideous desert. Reggie, whose
gay aspect set on the severity of
the mountains, and PaImi,
perched iauntily amid the orange
trees, have become mere blots
on the horizon.

Naples, Dec. 31.-Newspapers
are reproducing the prophecy of
Matilde Serao, which was print
ed i'm LES Annales" week ago,
and i'm which, predicting the de-
struction of Naples and express
ing Italy's constant fear of ma
lures upheaval, she said;
To-day the city Is beautiful,
because God wishes il. We be-
-lieve her immortal, but she Is
destined for death. See you this
mountain at whose feet stretch
beautiful villages bathing in the
sea? She will destroy our city;
she win be our executioner. One
day roars will come; commissions
will shake the mountain; fright
full tempests will agitate the sea;
flashes Of lightning will cover
the heavens, and all nature will
combine to our destruction"

OLD STOCK YARDS
ARE TO BIZ OPENED
BY Mr.. TT. JONES

The Old stock wards. Fifteenth and
Caldwell streets, which have been idle
for year have been purchased by
T. A. Jones, a we'll known stock and
meat dealer, and the stables are now
being put in first-class shape. New
roofs have been put on the stables
and fences erected and repaired.
About $4,000 will be spent In making
the repairs.
II will, be next week before the
Yards will be ready for business, but
when once opened IL Is expected to
begin gradually and build up a good
business. The stock yards win draw
many cattle and stock from western
Kentucky and Tennessee for ship
ment to Louisville. st. Louis and
other stock markets. About ten years
ago the stock yards was big feature
OF business in Paducahs but since an
epidemic broke out in the cattle IL
has never fiourished.
