The Easiest Way

A company of select colored artists were rendering a version of "Othello." The scene between the Moor and Des. demona had been reached, wherein Othello demands the handkerchief which he has given his wife as a we'd ding amulet.
 "Desdemona," he cried, "fetch ne dat han'kerchiefw
 But the doomed lady only babbled of Cassie, and her liege lord shouted again:
 q ast fo' de second time to git me dat hau'kerchiefm
 Still the fair one parried the issue with talk of Cassie, and the Iordly Othello, thoroughly incensed, bel lowed:

One of the stock arguments against home rule for Alaska is the statement that the population of this Northern territory Jacks permanence." In other words, the people of the North are de. nied the right to make their own laws because they don't stay in one place. Is this right or is it not? Are the peo- pie of Alaska less settled than the set tiers who have gone forth to other new lands? Who is it in Alaska that is not considered permanent?
 It is generally agreed that the life of a placer camp is limited. Alaska has placer camps that have waXed great in productiveness and population, and have begun to waue as the deposits of precious metals are exhausted. But Alaska has other industries besides place: mining. Iu fact, the very sec. tious that have been devoted to placer mining promise soon to develop quartz mines-a more permanent industry at least.
 Another class which is perhaps in- cIuded among the fieeting population of Alaska is the employees of canneries aud aud fishing companies who are hired annually Iu Seattle aud San Francisco and are brought to Alaska for a short season in the summer. Many of them are Chinese and Japan ese, and such are no more citizens of Alaska than og the United States cities that supply them.
 Outside of the classes mentioned, where does the lack of permanence come in? h every new country there are those who come and, overcome by the longing for the home land go. The people who come to Alaska are not eX ceptional in this respect. In some new countries the eaIy settlers stay for the reason that they never get money enough to get out. Here in the North the repeated trips to the States may be attributed to the fact that money is more plentiful thau it is in most new countries. But it has become pro- verbal that those who leave Alaska al- ways come back.
 But what is necessary that resident of Alaska may be considered "perma- nent," that is permanent enough that he may be considered good citizen, one qualified to have voice in making the laws which be must obey aud which will affect the conditions under which he and his children must live? Must he have lived here five years? Many thousands have done that. Must he have suffered the incouveniences of this misgoverned land for ten years? Thousands more will be found in this class.
 Must the period of his stay have been fifteen or twenty years? Still we have many of them, aud more than that, there are those who have lived in this land of gold for quarter of cen, tury and even more-who have seen their children children grow to man. hood and womanhood, marry; and little children of white parents themselves born in Alaska are climbing on grand pas lap and wondering if they belong to the class which stands between Alaska and her rights, And then an official high iu rank, without such a thing as visit to the Southeastern sec tion of the district makes the assertion that includes them all, the people of Alaska, are not permanent.

TAFT NOW FACING
ROW IN CONGRESS
Continued from Page One.

II seemed certain last night, from the
statements Of those who are familiar with
Mr., Shaw's predicament that unless the
President reverses his decision in the
case, inquiry will be begun on the mat
ter on the floor OF the House, and it is
possible that the entire North Carolina
delegation in Congress will take up the
fight for Shaw In order 10 open the
question IN the House. il will be necessary
for some Representative 20 effer resou-
ton of inquiry. which Will be referred to
the Committee on Rules. and II there
seems a disposition on the part Of the
committee not to take action. the author
of the resolution would have the right
after seven days 20 call II up, thus offer
Ing a chance to preciptate a debate, In
the course of which if such g course
should be pursued. 1t is expected warfare
for Shaw of the most open sort will hs
Waged.
Mr. Shavv's Record.
Persons familiar with Mr. shaw's
record last night warmly defended
him rom the criticism implied by the re-
fusal of Secretary Ballinger 10 allow him
20 practice before the Interior Depart
ment. II was stated that Mr.. Shaw has
spent something like fifteen years in the
government service that all his training
and education has been along lines that
would best fl him for the earning of a
livelihood in the manner he chooses TO
earn IT, In the prosecution OF patent
claims, and that II will be a great hard
ship upon him if he is denied this right.
Friends of Representative Page and
Senators Overman and Simmons are of
the belief that their interest in Mr.,
Shaw's case is one Of principle rather
than personal While the North Carolina
delegation members are well acquainted
with Mr.. shaw, it is believed that they
will make his fight their fight because he
is also a North Carolinian and entitled 10
their efforts at Strengthening matters out
If IT. is not Strengthened out. II was
definitely stated last night that a speech
will be made on the floor of the House
that will be heard the country over.
