YUKON GOVERNOR
 FAVORSHOMERULE
Says Alaska Just as Capable of
 Managing Own Affairs as Is the Yukon

Dr. Alfred Thompson, Domin- ion member of Parliament from Yukon, has returned from the outside. In an interview with a report r of the Skagway Alaskan, he spoke of the chances of the passage of the home rule bill for Alaska, and sad he hoped the measure would pass.
 He is practically the father of ..r llr rule for Yukon. aS il was lis measure which was adopted h. t'c Dominion government in iJ0. whereby the Yukon elected ll;r entire ten members which comprises the Yukon council.
 Il cannot see why an elective legislature, said Mr. Thompson, ''would not be as well in Alas ka as in the Yukon. Tine people in Alaska, like those in Yukon, arc no nOvices in the difficult art uf self-gOvernment. They come from the states or provinces where the franchise, or what it stands for, is we'll known and ap- prcciated, and are therefore ac- customed to elect men from among themselves to carry on their government. You can all ways trust any section of the AnglO-SaxOn race to govern themselves, and they develop best where they are given the most frcedOn."
 Tn speaking of the future de- rrlOpment of the northland, meaning Alaska, as well as the Yukon, Dr. Thompson said, Be cause of the various industries in Alaska, il seems to me that the country could he better gov rrncd by having q central body composed of men representing the various sections and interests who could, because of their local knowledge, cast a policy which would be in the interest of all."
 Dr.. Thompson admitted that in his opinion there was vast diff ference in the interests of Ala ska and Yukon, as in Alaska there was the interests incident to sea- ports and shipping, in addition to mining, fishing and the agricuI- tural possibilities while in the Yukon, at the present time, the placer gold was the main issue.
 In conclusion, pr. Thompson said that Alaska had the best wishes of all the Yukon for the passage of the measure now as the development of Alaska meant the progress of Yukon, and inc advancement of Alaska meant ihe advancement of Yukon.

Another Shorty Story.

''Throw-Back from Buddy" is the name
of Sewel Fords Shorty McCabe story In
ournext SunGay Magazine. which. strange
ly enough, is sort Of logical sequel to
Harvey's article, for 1t has to do with
the consequences on the mind of an ordi-
nary youngster of melodrama as depicted
in moving pictures. Shorty McCabe al
ways carries a lot Of homely philosophy
through his humorous experiences and
acts, and in this instance strikes deep
into a problem that is giving considerable
bother to the speculative minds OF various
publicists and public moralists, 1. e.. how
far in melodrama the moving picture
should be permitted to go without being
censored At the same time the story
is up to Mr.. Fords usual entertaining
standard.
