NATL AL POLITICS

In recent number of the Saturday Evening Post, MT. Clifford Pinchot pre- scented his objections to the renomina- tion of President Taft. All of his ob- jections related to events preceding the retirement of MT. Ballinger from the interior department MT. Pinchot, as if tactily admitting that the con- servationists could find no fault with his administration since that event, laid stress on the importance of those acts because they followed the innaugurat- ion, and disclosed the nature of the man befores his intentions were dis turbed by thoughts of second term.

FOR THE SULZER PLAN

The Ketchikan Miner is heartily in favor of the Sulzer plan of dividing Alaska into three territories In an editorial that paper says.
 Congressman Sulzer solved the prob lem of the government of Alaska when he suggested the division of the dis trict into three territories, each to have territorial government
 Here is the answer to the argument of the unwieldiness of the country gov erned under one head; here IS the rem edy of the chief objection that has been raised against territorial government. No man who has lived in Alaska can honestly claim that Alaskans are in capable of self governmental diff culty as we have seen 1t has been that the territory was too large, too difficult of access and with interests too diversi- fled to be handled as unit without the tremendous friction which has tended to make the name Alaska almost joke in the eyes of the American people.
 There can be no doubt in the thought of any fair minded man that with any thing like a square deal southeastern Alaska, under any name, is not only ready to be made a territory with all the responsibilities that the word i'm plies, but with a very few years of pre- paration would be fit to enter the Un ion as full fedged state. The same is true of southwestern Alaska. Both districts are peopled by practically the same kind of people. Both are adjacent to the seaboard, both have almost the same class of resources, and both have permanent towns and settlements.
 The country north of the Yukon is different, as Mir. Sulzer says, in eli mate and conditions it more nearly comes up to the general idea of Alaska as entertained by the average Ameri- can, and it has been the thought of coupling our portion of the district in solubly to this region that has deterred many people from allying themselves with the territorial government move ment prior to this time.
 Now, however, these with those who have gone on in advance and blazed the way can meet on a common ground and work, not only for territorial form of government for this region, but for ultimate statehood. Sounds pretty good, doesn't ita-Ketchikan Miner.

States did not apply to Alaska. 1t has long since been determined that the constitution did not follow the flag, and Alaska has been classed with the in sular possessions, to which the consti- tuition and the general laws did not reach. The constitution provides that every one born in the United States and under it's jurisdiction is a citizen of the United States. In the nited States, Indians living under the tribal relations are held not to be citizens, because they recognize the authority of the chiefs and therefore not to have been born under the jurisdiction of the United States.
 "If the decision of the United States court of appeals stands,' said District Attorney Rustgard, "there is nothing in the world that can prevent an In dian from voting at the next election. 1"

By Mike Rice

Where the rocks are gray, and the mountain steep, And the gulch below looks dark and deep Where the gnarled pines in their rugged pride, Loom gloomily up either side; Where the ancient moss lies crushed and thick Where once was heard the shovel and pick, Where the shadows lie heavy upon the rocks
 There lies half buried my old sluice box. Through it the idle stream lazily gides
 Gently washing it's moulderng sides Sides that moudy and dim
 From the yellow dirt that surged within, While the stream on the gravel heaps, The agile squirrel silently leaps. And the crested quail, futtering, drops
 For it's evening drink from the old suice box An, many day, with weary hand
 Have I tossed in it's bed, the glittering sands And dreamed, as I leaned on its rottng side, Raking the depths of its turgid tide Of father $ gray hairs and dear mothers smile
 Of dear at home who waiting the while The wanderer' E return-but time snearingly mocks, The days that toled at the old slnce box From the moss grown rocks which I lean, I gaze down into the sluggish stream; The face l see has graver grown,
 And my voice, it seems, has soberer tone, And the wanton winds, with my hair at play Show that my locks have all turned gray; Yet I long for those dear old days gone by; When my spirits light and my hopes high I could welcome again the rough hard knocks To be mining once more, with the old sluee box.

Some Suspicious Persons
e "hiring'' a certain weekly" paper to aDu

So an attorney from New York spent more or less time "r
months in Battle Greek hoping to find impurities In our l00DS'

That all proved disappointing to the Weekly" There arc

In any ordinary kitchen or factory he would find something to

But he failed utterly with the Postum Works and PEoa4ees:
Twenty to thirty thousand people go through the factories annual

He next turned to discover something about our advertising

harsh words and make no reference in this article to the birth,

did not 'bribe" that particular weekly.
No. Q states that the amount of the

OF course every time a spot light is turned on from any source
b offers a splendid chance to talk about the merits of the products,
but pom honor now. we are not hiring that Weekly"
The general reader seldom cares much for the details of scraps"
A few may have read lately some articles attacking us and may
be interested IN the following:
Some time ago a disagreement arose with a Weekly They
endorsed our foods by letter, but wanted to change the form OF
advertising, to which we objected
The Weekly" discontinued inserting our advertisements while
they were negotiating for some changes they wanted in the word
ing and shape Of the advertisements, and during this correspondence
eur manager gave instructions to our Advertising Department to
quit advertising altogether in that Weekly"
Quite a time after the advertising had been left out, an editorial
attack came. We replied in newspapers and the scrap was on.
Tier caH.s Ebsi suits from both sides, and some harsh words.
Generally tresome to the public
That Weekly" has attacked many prominent men and repu-
table manufacturers.
Our Company seems prominent enough for a sensational
writer to go after, hunt for some little spot to crticise, then distort,
twist and present it to the public under scare heads.
