Belated Justice for Alaska.

The passage by congress OF the
Alaska civil government bill will be
an act of justice long delayed. Alas
kans claim that the lack of home rule
and the restrictions that have been
placed on them and their territory
have operated to prevent the develop
ment of the country. We have not
done by the American citizens who
have gone to the territory to seek
fortunes as we have insisted upon be-
ing done by at home, 1t Is matter
Of simple right to permit them to
manage local government, as they
are empowered to do under the bill
that has passed both houses OF con-
gress and is now in conference,
where the few minor details of diff
ference between the house and SEN
ate will be Strengthened out. The
legislature that is to be established
is to consist of but one house of 16
members. This provision is in line
with the modern tendency to concen-
trate responsibility. There is a fur
ther provision that the legislature
can remain in session but 60 days
within any two years. 1t is expected
that this time limit may save some OF
the legislative mischief that Massa-
chusetts is too well acquainted with
beyond all other States
Not all of us know that Alaska is
considerably more than one-sixth the
size of the rest of the United States,
nor that since the territory was
bought for s7,2O0,0OO more than 40
years ago, we have received from 1t IN
gold s195,916,520. Beyond that we
have received more than $51,0OO,-
600 worth of sealskins, and more
than s17,OOO,O00 in cash revenue.
Reckoning everything in, it is claim
ed that the total Alaska has yielded
to this country since we bought it is
s446,640,9S4, that we have expended
for purchase, postal service and all
other governmental purposes the
sum of s35,S16,764, leaving a bal
ance of over s410,S00,O00 in favor
of the Alaskans.
Nor should it be forgotten that the
forest, mineral and other stores of
natural wealth are not to be turned
over to the comparatively small pop
ulation in the territory by the terms
of the civil government bill. The
federal government is to retain con-
troll of these resources, and will be
relied upon later on to open them to
development upon just terms.
Such is the story of the relief that
Alaska has been so slow in getting,
which very strikingly illustrates the
small attention which congress has
been and is ready to pay to Uncle
Sans outlying possessions. No won
der that there is the greatest rejolc-
ing in Alaska over the prospect that
matters of local rule can be dealt
with on the spot after the fashion
which the founders of the republic
established with their blood. The
only republican method is now to be
somewhat applied to the adventurous
Americans whose interests are in
Alaska.-Springfeld Republican.

Also, one does not live for two
months on $3.50 week without
getting hungry. Mabel was very
hungry.
And then she met another girl
who had worked for the Eastman
Kodak Co. when she first went
there, and who had gone through
the same experiences as she was
undergoing, and who had decided
to get money in the way that peo-
pie who don't know anything
about it call "the easiest"
Mabel went with this girl to
Gary, Ind, and entered the resort
run by Helen Smith.
There she was found by the
man who had been engaged to
her, and he was so shocked that
he made things worse by going
out and getting drunk. $28 of
MabePs first earnings of shame

man out of Jail.
Mabel came to Chicago again

some, and another girl there just
IS years old induced her to run
away.

Mrs. FIFTEEN was one of the ten char

Since its slight beginning then the
work in Atlanta has grown rapidly,
and Mrs. FIFTEEN not only has a league
of her own, which meets at her home
twice each week, but she is doing free
kindergarten work along this line, and
often gives her services in church
work, especially at the Mothers Meet
ings of one of the largest Methodist
churches of the city.
In her own home she entertains the

all the years to come.
To introduce the children to the
literature of the world, through this
simple means. and to awaken in them
the craving for knowledge, must be as
delightful to the lover of children as

go with a boy. have been going with

who lives near me and she tells me
unkind things about him. I tell him
and he says not to pay any attention
to her, but 1T makes me feel bad. He
has asked me to go places with him,
but I do not like to go unless my
chum and his chum go too Please
give me some advice.

see his little sister spoiled by being
paved over by all sorts Of fellows.
You don't know what love is and you
ought to keep yourself sweet and I'M
spoiled for the man you will some
day marry. Be good friends with the
boys, but don't let any Of them be
mushy or monopolize you. Don't go
alone with any boy anywhere. You
are quite right in wishing your chums
to go along. Forget what the other
girl tells you, but don't give anybody
a chance to say anything ill Of you.

And occupy the beds and Toll about
