BOGUS CHECK.

lay the trial to that extent.

said. ito produce those complaints
against the witness"
II am sorry" responded the Pro-
secutor, but ] have no such COM

the Court cut him short.

La FolIette's Speech.


 Washington, D. G.--Ia Fol lriic'S plan for the government Iof Alaska and administration of Alaska'S resources, as presented in his Danville speech, iS :the most mnnarchial and autoerat- ic scheme that yet has been de- riSed and is more bcncvOIeuily despotic than any other prOpOsi- ton yet conceived. It out stands pat the greatest siand-patters in the country. II efrrctuaHy has killed whatever remote chance he may have had for capturing the Alaska and western proxies at the next national convention.
 The plan to buy all of the Alas kan railroads will be fought down the line from start to finish
 This iS the general conscn4us of opinion of Democratic and Re - publican legislators here. "If La Toilette ever thinks the government is going tO buy ihc Guggcnheim road he is sadly mis- taken" said a congressman who has been keeping in touch with Alaskan affairs. "Thc Guggcu- helms gOl hold of d lemon in that road, and nothing would please them better than ln bc able to unload it OH the government"
 La FollrIt"'s plan would take the power of administration fur thrr away from the people by lplaring il in the hands of d com mission sitting at Washington and administering the affairs of a country several thousand uilcS away.
 The Alaskans naturally will ask Where do Wr come in?
 La Follrllc'S speech can be re- gardcd as only another ilIusIra- . lion of the present danger UI solving the Alaska problcm with out first learning rudinenlarS facts about the territory.
 '"Thc sensible and praclica thing to dO," to quote La Follcttc's own words, is not to appoint { commission or to pass leasing bill, but to appoint a commission to tell those of the PinchOt-Lt Toilette stripe and of the POin. dexter ilk who insurgc when tn = insurging is good few plail 1 truths about the country and [, = impress them with the fact tha = the pioneers of Alaska, who gay c to the resources whatever valu t they have, possess some rights il = the premises.
 La FOllcitc's endorsement 0 c the PinchOt plan of opening iiv / and tcn-aCrc coal claims is, 0 < course, ridiculous in the extreme and is regarded here as rccipro cation of favors for Campaig II work done for La Toilette by in leader of the slowly dying con l. scrvativc propaganda.
 Delegate Wickcrsham will op l. pose the leasing plan for cos " lands, but favors government aid 7. tO railroads in the form of guar antcc of bonds or otherwise. i'd Every other pioneer railroad said the delegate, "has receive government aid. The railroad l. in Alaska need assistance, as tho do in any pioneer country"

 The -Alaska-Yukon magazine has not won the success ill the past which a journal devoted to Inc welfare of the great north land should be entitled. There are many reasons which have con tributcd to the lack of support and want of enthusiasm awardc l the journal. The primary reason IS that Tor many years Alaska has been divided against itself with the biblical prediction being full filled to the letter. Any news paper or magazine which gave space or commented favorahly or otherwise upon conditions in Alaska Was at once lhr Subirri,ur criticism as showing favoriIism !" some person, party or corpOr- .ntIon- The Alaska-N Yukon nlaga- IZnc has mol been alone in learn ing ihiS To iiS cost and hindraIlcr lO success.
 Illr management of the haga- zine has adopted new policy in rrgard iu Alaska news which will at least remove Inc burden of criticism from tho shoulders of Editor Troy. They realize that ht ,,c dependent upun the good which they are able Iu accomplish for Alaska and their plan should bring the desired success if there Is a necessity for the magazine. 1 They purpose in future to give. the required space to the discus | sion of Alaskan affairs and con 1 dltinnS, but they intend iO make 1 AlaSkanS who live in Alaska stand | sponsors for the articles appear Ing Tn the magazine affecting their own particular district.

By this method the magazine hopes io give expression to the true sen iimcnfs of the people. as each article will have the endorsement of the community through it's | businessmen organizations.
 The proposition will be pre- Scntcd to the chamber of con- | mrrrc tomorrow night for conSid- | rraIion.
