Frederick T. Congdon, of Dawson, mem Der of parliament from the Yukon, takes issue with President Taft on the question of home rule for Alaska. In an interview published in the Skagway Daily Alaskan he says: q do not want to appear to criticise your president, but certainly feel that be has been misinformed and does not appreciate conditions in the North. It is ridic- ulous to say that Alaskans are not capable of self government. 1know no people in the world where the average standard of intelligence is so high. Of course you would make mistakes at first, just as the Yukon council did, but the government would be far more sat- isfactory than to be governed by of fcials at Washington. That people are not fit for self government has been the plea of autocrats the world over. The only way for people to become fit for government is by experience"

Names of Flowers,

1t Is interesting TO know how Ger.
tain flowers got their names. Many
were named after individuals. For
instance: Fuchsias were so-called be.
cause they were discovered by Leon.
ard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl, who brought them from
Peru. The camelia was so called for
missionary named Kamel, who
brought some magnificent specimens
o: the flower to France from japan.
He called 1t the rose of Japan, but his
friends changed 1t to Camelia. Mag.
nOlias were named in honor of Prof.
Magnol de Montpelier, who first
brought the beautiful tree to France
from America and Asia. Because they
trembled with the wind Is the meaning
OF Anemones. The Latin word to
wush IS iavare and lavender received
IT. name because the Roman put the
flowers into the water, when they
washed, 10 perfume their hands.

The Telenam,s Easter Edltlon.

With much qualification the Tele-
gram greets its numerous readers
with this Easter edition. This is.
sue of the newspaper, as all readily
see, is credit to the city, which
fact is not vain boast. however
much the kilograms modesty.
Care has been taken to give va
riety of articles touching on subjects
of the season and of interest, to-
gether with the regular up-to-date
line of news. Efforts along this
line have been crowned with sue
cess. as the edition shows.
Another attractive feature Of the
edition is the splendid advertising
patronage given it. The many live
merchants and other concerns Of
the city have recognized its worth as
an advertising medium as shown by
the many advertisements It contains,
presenting Easter shop news for
the information and benefit OF all
who read the Telegram. In the ad-
vertising patronage it is a great sue
cess and the results will prove un-
told, as they viii continue inde-
terminately.
The patronage given is deeply ap-
prectated and in expressing that APP
probation nothing has been left I'M
done TO give the best in the shop.
Altogether. there is confidence
that all readers and patrons viii be
much benefited by this special
Easter edition and that 1t viii prove
itself vehicle of a high degree of
helpfulness.
