If they attempt to do the things they should not do, my hand, and that of the Democratic party will be clenched against them and they will be driven from our midst. 1 promise you, if elected delegate, although elected on the Democratic plaform and ticket, shall represent all Alaska and all Alaskans. It seems to me that Alaska should be represented in congress by member of the Democratic party. An independ- ent representative has no stand ing; he takes no part in party caucus; he is not taken into the condolences of the party leaders. The Republicans are torn in party strife and disruption; they are drunk and satiated with the spells of office, and the people are sick and tired of the bom- bast of Roosevelt and the weak and vaccilating spirit of Taft and the subservience of the party to the great cOrpOraiiOns has caus- ed d revolt among the voters, who will scuttlc the watcr-loggcd hulk next November.
 We have reason to be proud of the Democrats under the leader ship of Speaker Clark and Rep resentative Underwood and have turned to them like ship to the home port. Alaska needs a Dem- ocratic dclegatc--Onc in harmony with the next national adminis- tration. Alaska, like Cinderella, has long sat deserted by the fire side while the sisters have gone tO the feast. Democracy will come to her and shower upon her the kind gifts of fairy godmother, banishing dcsolation, and will ar ray her in all the beauty of pros pcrity and American citizenship. While the Republican party comes to Alaska as the wolf came to little Red Riding Hood, to whct a keen appetite and to snarl and growl at the inanimate form which it is about to dcvour.

JENNINGS RAkES THE
 SHACK PLATFORM

(Continued from page i)
 for years but in his platform he insists that congress gives Il; a full form of territorial govern mcnt like New Mexico and Ari- zona. He is killing us with too much kindness, and is giving us more than We can take care of. There will be enough officers created under Shack's plank to go round so no one will be left in the cold. He's like the man who couldn't pay his helps wages but was willing to raise them. One would think h.. would abuse the president for opposing home rule, yet he says: We commend the president for his friendly in tcrest m our problems" don't think Shack was sincere when he adopted that plank; hr could not have been when he endorsed Taft and instructed his delega- ton to tine national convention to vote for the present incumbent of the White House. Shack do :snt believe in home rule: doesn't want home rule and wont have home rule. The day of Judgment for the republican par ty has come, and you, gentlemen, are the jury to pass judgment upon the culprit next August. Home rule is a democratic doe
 Urine from the time of the rcvn. tions, Bryan, Harmon, Clark, have favored home rule for Alas ka; has any republican of na- tional reputation gone as far? Bryan says Alaska is fighting for what the world over is asking for. Give her home rule. If she makes mistakes she will suffer and correct the mistake. What mistakes she makes she will be accountable for to herself; if we ! refuse her home rule we are re- sponsible for her. Taft wants the territory run by bureau ap- pointed by himself--a close fol- lower of Alexander Hamilton. He is the man the Cordova conven- tion so fulsomely praised. We do need a local legislature--an elective legislature responsible for their acts to us. There are many things such a legislature could regulate; it could repeal the road and poll tax law. it could regulate the occupation tax; it could provide for teh indigent; 1t could revise the Carter code according to our needs; it could pass an eight hour law; it could pass a lien law, holding the property for wages due. Would MT. Gilmore give you these things. No; because Mir. Gill; more is Mir. Shackleford and Mir. Shackleford is the Special in- .terests."
 My attitude toward the cor porations--the Guggenheims, the Corners and all aggregations of wealth is easily understood. My party puts the rights of man above the rights of property. I would say to these great corpors ations: recognize that Alaska cannot be developed without the investment of capital; nor can it

Edward Carpenter, known to read
ers on both sides of the Atlantic as
an author and snciologist, was born
in Brighton, England, Aug. "a, 1874.
For some years he was lecturer at
Trinity hall, Cambridge, but in 1874
he relinquished his fellowship and
left Cambridge. He lectured on sci
ence, music, ETC., in connection with
the university extension movement
until 1881. Two years later he set
tied on a small farm near Sheffield,
where he engaged in literary work,
market gardening and sandal maxi
ing. He also took part in the Social
list movement and street-corner pro-
paganda. In 1884 he visited the
United States as the guest of Walt
Whitman. Mr.. Carpenter is the au-
thor of a number of well known
books on sociology. r~~

Arkansas.


Arkansas, which was named by
one of the worst spoilers in history,
is pronounced "Arkansaw' and is a
partially raw state situated along the
Mississippi river on it's west side.
Arkansas has $4,000 square and
partially dry miles and 100000
people, great many of whom wear
shoes both summer and winter. No.
body knows how the state got all
these people, but it is surmised that
most of them were visiting in the
vicinity when the Mississippi river
steamboats, thinned out and were I'M
able to get home afterward. The |
state is now isolated from the rest
of the country by number of casu- [
al dilettante railroads. The star of
empire passed it 500 miles to the |
north on it's way westward. The
tourist glides swiftly by on the north,
south, east and west and only the !
intrepid real estate agent and the in
valid with a consuming thirst for
sulphur water now penetrate into it's
Businesses and explore it.
The early history of Arkansas was
written in shakes and shivers and
the principal literature of the back
woods is still the ague cure adver-
tisement. In 1861 Arkansas seeded
with the rest of the south. 1t came
back in 1868, but this fact was not
noticed by the nation or the inhabi-
tants for many years. Only recently
a local statesman named Jefferson
Davis arose and has since become
senator, receiving the enthusiastic
votes of many Arkansans who
thought they were voting for the or
iginal JEFF.
Arkansas produces coal, cotton,
lumber, corn and tall Gothic hogs
so thin that they are only visible
from the side. The eastern part Of
the state is navigable by scows and
long-legged cattle, while the western
section is mountainous and can be
navigated successfully by balloons
and democratic wagons. To reach
Arkansas go to Memphis, Tenn, cross
the high bridge and wade west.
Arkansas has several fine cities, a
Carnegie library, some universities
and future. It also has Hot Springs,
the greatest cure for rheumatism and
fatty degeneration of the pocketbook
in the west. It has fewer aristocrats,
plutocrats and automobiles than any
other American state and its people,

To Treat iIp,br>t{,

Umbrellas require a good deal of at tention to keep them in good condi- ton, and how few of them get it. After the umbrella has been out in the rain 1t should not be thrust in the um- brella stand and left to drain. for in this position the moisture gradually aceumulates in the silk just above the lerrule and causes it to rot. The um- prella should be opened and placed in an airy room until thoroughly dry.
 When finally put away 1t should be 1eft unrolled, for if constantly kept tight the creases rapidly wear through 1t IS exposing an umbrella to an early death to place it in the rack at all. and a hastily set down stick is likely to put hole in it; far better to hang it by the handle.
