 This would mean the end of the pencil miner, the decline of the speculating holder, and the rehabilitation of the mining in dustry on a just and equitable basis, which would give every individual in the territory a chance to make stake for his old age

PHILIPPINES AND ALASKA

In addition to being granted rights of self government which are denied to white men in Alaska, the Filipinos are also secure from the depredatiOns of landhogs and others who would exploit them. According to the act of congress passed in 1902, it is impossible for any one person to secure title to more than 10 acres of land in the Philippines, while corporations are limited to holdings of 5000 acres
 This provision IS a wise and just one, and undoubtedly in serted with the desire Cf serving the best interests of the Eli, pinos What the Citizen cannot understand, however, is how such Q provision can be consid- cred necessary in the Philip pines, while the vast Gcrritory of Alaska, many times richer in natural resources than the Phil ippines is handed out in parcels of 72,000 acres to any eight men who care to grubstale a pencil artist fer a couple of months.
 If it be inadvisable to allow land at present misused by q semi-barbarous people to be ex- plotted hy American or other capitalists, how much more in advisable it is to let those same capitalists or their cousins cor ral all the ninelalized land n Alaska
 It seems to us that while peo- pie in the east are willing to go to any extent to protect the Filipino they are at the same time just as willing to hand over their lzith and kin in Alaska, body and soul, to the big corpora tiCns and their satellites

A NEW ARGUMENT
 FUR HOME RULE

The Seattle Post Intelligencer has presented a new and for clble argument in favor of home rule for Alaska. It deserves the careful consideration of all who have interests of this great country at heart. Here k the article:
 A member of the Yukon coun- cily while in Skagway the other day, in speaking of the absence of any system of home rule for Alaska, as cOntrasted with that which is accorded the Canadian Yukon, gave some pertinent il- luStrations. He pointed out that, so long as tue Canadian terri tory was governed exclusively from Ottawa by federal officials, conditions were unsatisfactory in every way The administra- tion given was both expensive and dishonest.
 For some years past Yukon territory has had a wholly cleo tive council, which has entire control over all local affairs, and there has never been a time in the history of the territory when conditions were as entirely sat isfactory as they are now. Alas ka, in this respect, stands where the Yukon territory of Canada cid ten years ago.
 In all the talk about the im- possibility of giving Alaska a local government, why is it that no attention is paid to Yukon territory and the Canadian meth cd of dealing with the same problem? The Yukon territory is very much smaller than Alas lla and it has nothing like as large 6 number of people. In the whole territory there is practi- cally but one industry, that of gold mining, while Alaska eX- ports other products annually of but little less value than its gold The British Yukon has no coast line. 1t is isolated far in the interior, and it is difficult to reach any portion of it in the winter time.
 Yet the Canadian Yukon has complete self government and full representation in the Do minion parliament as well. Can it be argued that the Canadians are more capable of self-gov- ernment than the people of Alaska? Is She gold mining population on one side of an i'm aginary line more n0kuU&ic than on the other.
 The simple truth IS that the Canadian government has treat ed it's people in the north far better than has the government of the United States, and with far more actual respect for the principles upon which our gov ernment is founded than has ever been displayed by congress.

 A Citizen representative was telling Helen Bentley about the chicks which had been matched by the incubator at Young s ranch. That's all right, said Helen, but our chicks are REAL ones" Which is a distinction without a difference.

week. when IL became known about town that eight men had managed to secure absolute con trol of =, ,00O acres of gold d-hear- ing gravels ltiS not that these
 men are particularly to blame
 for taking advantage of cOndi- tiCns as they find them, but any
 law that permits 9 few men to take up such Q large amount of public land, without adequate security for its proper develop ment, is wro2g in principle and should be repealed.
 Al first glance 72,000 acres does not seem 9 very large tract of land when compared with Alaska IS @ whole, but when we read that this area is extended for loo miles along the course of the river, it be comes q far more serious matter, as the holders of this ground absolutely control the whole val ley through which the stream flows.
 Wishing tc justify themselves ir the eyes of the public, the lOcatOrs state that the ground is of such 9 nature that it can net he handled by individual To- caters That may he the case. but t etill remains to be proved that apy syndicate can be form ed at the present time in Alaska, which can deal with a proposi- ticn of such magnitude. Al though 2 company could be formed to work 8 portion Of this large area, there is no doubt at all in our opinion that the ground has been staked in the main, not for development, but for 9. speculative purpose, and that much Of it will he held in definitely for that purpose, with, out being developed ct all,
 As befor$~ stated, however, the fault does not lie with the men who have staked the ground, hut with the system that allows them to do so. l. it just or reasonable that eight men should be allowed to pos sess themselves of 450 associa- tion claims: On the face of it it is 3 gross injustice to the peo- pie of Alaska that such a state of affairs should be allowed to continue, and the people should agitate until @ measure has been passed which would limit the use of the power of attorney, and put a stop to the wholesale stalking of association claims by the use Of bogus powers of at tOrney
 The evil would noD De SC great if the proper amount of assess ment work were performed, but t is so easy to eVade this at the present time, and the work re- quired to hold an association claim is so ridiculously small, that immense areas of mineral, ized land can be held indefinite ly by a small clique, at very lit tie expense. If the law insisted upon the performance of work equal to S10O per claim, as it does in the case of the poor holder of @ single claim, the proposed syndicate would have to expend at least $36O,O00 per annum in improvements each year, commencing with the first. This would benefit the whole community and there would be

The article said in part: The effect of
this contest in the house has been
greatly exaggerated. When the cheer
ing and the excitement over the nomin-
al defeat of Cannon and his machine
shall be succeeded by calm deliberation,
the American people will inquire how
much has really been won, how far
afield the standards of true representa-

The victory will strengthen the mo-
rale of the progressive organization.
It will demonstrate that the system
can be beaten. But it will be clearly
understood that little was achieved
besides the temporary humiliation of
an old man of bad eminence, whose
successor the system must at al
events, soon put forward.

Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
It is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne,
IL. RS. of London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, it is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur-
ance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.

eat it frequently. 50
