The fifteenth annual session oP the American Mining Congress, at Spokane. Wash, Nov. 25th to 29th,. should have special interest to all Alaskans.- Under date of Sept. 16th,, Secretary J. F. Cal breath writes as follows: The Nmsri' can Mining Congress has deToted5 dur ing the current year large part o1 it's work to securing better conditions for Alaska, only to find that it's efforts have been misunderstood. We arenow in doubt as to what policy can be pur sued in the future which will be of1real. service. lis entirely useless to'under- cake any campaign .whioh'those. who are interest ed do not approve. It will be- difficult enough to secure legislation with, all of our friends agreeing. upon, what is best. But with any consider able majority opposing. it will be ut serly impossible to bring: about auF remedial legislation. We are proposing that the Alaskan delegates at the Spo.

Making good citizens out of aliens is one thing in which the United States excells all other countries. There is Mike 0'Connor, for instance. He was born in Ireland. But he came to Amer ica, and best of all to Alaska. Here he has lived and worked and prospered, and, now he looks upon the countries of the old world with contempt. They have no attractions for him. America is the only country under the sun,. aud Aaasksais best of alh
 When Mike was coming across the Atlantic on the big liner Olympic, after visit to. the land of his birth, thoughts of Alaska kept coming to him until he couldn't tell whether he was homesick or seasiok. Presently big tear rolled down his cheek and splashed on the deck Mike could, stand it no longer. Digging up bit of a peneib he relieved his troubled spirit by writing the fol- lowing verses:
 It is good to see the Old World and it's
 anticipated ways, The ivy covered castles-relics of by
 gone days,
 But give me Alaska, though 'tis in the
 frigid zone;.
 There's not another spot on earth Ed
 rather call nay home. It is good to see gay Paris--it has
 grandeur all it's Own-- On parade are aaShy garments. giving
 it q gala tone,
 Bat give me the Alaska girl with her
 sweet and modest way, A face tinted by the Arctic breeze, and.
 smile like break of day. It is good to see old London, where,
 lords and dukes hold sway, Though they are disappearing since
 Floyd George won the day; But give me good old Douglas, where
 there's not q lord or duke, Where 'tis easy to Aud a dollar but
 hard to fud crook. It is good to see Old Ireland, and it's
 abbeys old and quaint, Where the boys can dance jig andthe'
 girls use no paint. But give ne uutamed Alaska, with it's
 mountains and it's game, It may get dreary sometimes. but !
 loye:it inst the same.

As the time for the election of the men who are to comprise the first ter ritorial legislature oE Alaska ap- proaches, meuy are thinking seriously of the question: Who shall Esupport2 The only issue that will enter into this campaign, as far as we can determine, is the question of integrity. There are lots of men who wifi be willing sud anxious to grab the jobs as senators and representatives, many to whom the salary ofS15,a day will prove an attrac- tion. We cannot conceive a single reason why Q mans politics may make any difference to the people of Alaska --the only thing that will make any difference is the character of the man. If we elect to this first legislature men of vicious character, men who have not in the past stood for law and order, or who have 10 permanent residence in the territory, we may expect that their acts as legislators will be accord, with the characters of the men. But If we. choose men,for public office whom we know to be honest, men that we would. trust with cur private affairs. we shait have legislature that we shall be proud or--a legislature that will prove 10 the world, aud,to congress that Alas Gans a!s entirely capable of self gov srnmeut rhsu perhaps the measure of bone rule that has been granted may be e%teuded-to cover many things not now included
 It has been suggested that a conTen- tion of citizens, irrespective of party lines, could uame w ticket. that would meet the appreciation of all. South. eastern Alaska can afford to get to. gether for this purpose and leave party politics for the frture,. when questions of policy may arise.

swEDEs FOR WOMEN VOTES

Sweden is taking the lead in the
race of the nations for woman suf-
frage. A bill introduced in the Swed-
fsh parliament by the minister of JUS
tfce will, when enacted into law, grant
to women complete privileges as
voters on the same basis as men. The
minister stood up for the bill and
madey for its passage the same argu-
ments as those advanced by English
and American suffragists. All the pre-
dictions are that the bill will pass.
Many interesting features are involy-
ed. The bill allows a husband to cast
his wife's vote, if they are of the
same opinion. The wives Of sailors,
fishermen, soldiers, railwaymen and
migratory workers will be permitted
to cast ballots for husbands absent on
duty. Woman may be elected to
either chamber of parliament and may
resign when they please.

localities arrests Of comrades are re-
ported.
Comrade Wilhelm Bukseg, in his
capacity Of Secretary of the Central
National union, was called to the
chief of police, where they threatened
to dissolve the unions If the party
continued to distribute "The Red
Liberty" Were we to draw back be-
fore these oppressive threats? The
unions, as such, are in no way mixed
up with the party struggle.
But they think to undermine the
column of the labor movement in or
der to destroy the same. In spite of
all the dangers we foresee, we cannot
draw back, for everything must be
risked in order to show clearly to the
eyes of the governors and to the So
called public opinion Of Europe, that
it is not by exceptional situations that
calm will be restored to the country.
When the exceptional situation was
proclaimed and the press strangled,
the Croatian, Servian and German
weekly papers had to disappear, for
we had to deposit alone for the $50
bodna Rice" a guarantee OF 5000
crowns.
The undersigned Central Committee
is aware of the fact that we must
struggle in the first place for the
rights and constitutional liberty and
also that the proletariat should GER
tainly withdraw from the fire the
chestnuts for the bourgeois party. But
this historical task Of the conscious
revolutionary proletariat must also
be done without counting the cost it
entails.
In spite Of all the precautionary
measures taken to protect the unions,
in spite of our wish to show to the
governors that we are ready to run
any risk to defend our unions and in
spite of the fact the proletaf1at will
not allow the unions to be touched
with impunity. We must also acknowl-
edge that in consequence of all the
circumstances described, we are ma
teria1ly so much weakened that we
must slacken in the struggle UNLESS
