 Briefly the court holds that all the general laws of the United States apply to Alaska, and the Indian citizenship law along with it. Under it, every In dian who has severed his tribal relat ions, is entitled to vote, buy whisk ey, to take up homestead or mineral claims and to take out licenses as pilots and officers of boats.
 "The case will be appealed, how ever,' said District Attorney Rust gard, "and the question taken to the supreme court.

WINTER SPORTS

The Sourdough desires to urge with all its might that everybody turn out and encourage the Douglas Winter Sports Association. Nothing will 80 much help to make Alaska a desirable place to live as winter sports.
 The way to have cold all winter, is to hug the stove. Ice skating, ski ing, toboganning are joys which are only for those who live in rigorous eli mates. To skate, to ski, to slide down the long tobogans defying the winter, is to enjoy it. The Scandinavian young men and women of Douglas who are pushing the winter sports association are doing great deal for the commun- ity. The time may come when our Christmas day program may be big ger sporting event than the Fourth of July.

POLITICAL MEETING

Juneau enjoyed her first political meeting of the year at Elks hall on Wednesday evening.
 The Seattle Times announces that combination has been effected by the La Toilette and the Wickersham forces in Alaska, and that they are to work in double harness. There can be no doubt about the political sagacity ot the movement
 The meeting at Elks hall was the first for many years at least when the "other crowd" had the ear of the statesmen, and there has been the usual complaint that some body wanted to speak, and was not allowed. As Chas. Hopp said so aptly, however, in regard to the same complaint anent the Fish CT meeting at Ketchikan, postage stamp would still answer every pur- pose.

In broad brimed slouch hat, gray flannel shirt, and an exquisite bag in his tailor made trousers, United States Senator Poindexter had a delightful time posing as the typical western sen ator on both sides of the Gastineau channel last week. He spoke Thursday night still in the flannel shirt, in hall where three hundred men and women had danced in full evening dress only a few nights before.
 Senator Miles is not only a poser, however, he is politician par excel lent He is the possessor of cast iron nerve, and an astute sense of what will take with the crowd.
 1T saw you in Spokane once when you were prosecuting attorney there, Senator,'' said man who met him in Juneau.
 "Yes sir,' said the Senator, 1T knew you perfectly.'
 "But Senator,' protested the other man,"I was only there few days"

HOME RULE FOR ALASKA

Some sort of Home Rule legislation is practically certain from the next ses- sion of congress.
 President Taft $ present plan, for a legislature partly appointive and partly elective, has plenty of precedent on this continent. At one time New Mex ico had territorial council, part of which was appointive and part of which was elective The first council for the Yukon was made up of appointive and elective members. First majority ap- pointive followed by majority cleo tive and at last body wholey elective. Should the present plan of President Taft prevail, there is little doubt that in a very short time, the Alaska legis- lature would be wholey elective.
 .'After you have home rule,'' said United States Senator Poindexter at the meeting in Juneau last week, you will wish you did not have it. All ready there has grown up in southeast ern Alaska some objection to having inc whole of Alaska included in ter ritorial organization. The Sulzer plan has a good many friends in this part of the northland.

W. c. Beattie, superintendent of In dian education for southeastern Alas ka, believes that the Douglas Indian village should be moved. He believes that strip of ground along the beach, possibly north of the Douglas water front, should be set aside for a new village, and none but Indians allowed to reside there.
 "There are many obstacles in the way of moving the village" he said to a representative of the Sourdough last week, "and I have no definite plans as to how the project is to be accom-

fest itself in the United States since the inauguration of MT. Taft is dis tinctly democratic. How much of it, in Republican ranks, will accrue to the benefit of MT. La Toilette, is problem atical. Unquestionably, so far as the Republicans are concerned, President Taft has recovered some of his lost ground since the appointment of MT. Fisher, a Pinchot conservationist, to succeed MT. Ballinger, and since his successful fight for the passage by congress of the reciprocity measures, notwithstanding his vetoe of the wool bill. The defeat of the president for renomination is by no means foregone conclusion.
