 TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT

 sentiment IS made manifest both within and without the territory. I think the outside advocates may be disrcgardcd, as they are gener- ally not informed and, moreover, are nnn-rrsidents, who would not assume any of the rrSpOnsibii- ties of the new government. Among the residents of Alaska there are many sincere advocates Of the policy of forming a local territorial government with an elective legislature, and turning over to the local government all those affairs of local Legislation and administration which are us- ually assumed by territories fully organized as such. There are others who oppose it. strongly; and since these opponents are us- ually Io be found among the larg- CT property owners, sometimes the representative of large cor pOraliOns, they have encountered the charge, just in some instances no doubt, that sclf-inlercst and not the public interest is rcspOn- sible for their attitude. So Inc question has been debated with much bittcrness--sO much in fact, that the discussion has not gen. orally been enligbtcning or val uablc; and the subject has been so involved with selfish political ambitions that much of the dis cussion has not even. been sin ccrc. In short, sane and sober consideration of the issue, calcu- lated to determine it on sheer merit, has been conspicuously wanting.
 The principal considerations urged in favor of a territorial leg islaturc are CD that the people have q constitutional right to govern themselves --at least with in the limitations which have been placed upon other territories prior to statehood; (2) that the mem- bers of local legislature would understand local conditions bet

GOVERNMENT FATHERHooD IN
 ALASKA.

Government railway building Tor the development of one of the Alaska coal fields is now inc sub Ject of a definite proposal to con grrSs in bill introduced by Rep resenlatiNr SulZer of New York, who not long ago paid d visit To that territory. As this is d step toward placing the government in the position of direct business factor In Alaska, the particulars pr the proposed measure are of interest from political as well as an industrial point of view.
 Congressman SulZcr asks an appropriation for the construc- ton and operation of 2 railroad tC be kM6Wn as the Alaska Cen tral from the town of Seward, on Resurrection bay, 10 the Matanus- kO coal fields, the work to be done by army engineers under the di- rection of an Alaska Public Scrv- ice Commission" One of the features is the setting aside of l5,O00 acres of the best coal lands in the MalanuSka field, and a sim liar amount in adjacent districts, for the use of the army and navy. At the same time it. is proposed tO include Alaska under the jur- iSdictinn of the Interstate COm- mrrcr Commission.
 From military point of view there can br no doubt that the reservation of a large coal sup ply near the Pacific coast would be a wise move, as the coal re- sources of the Pacific arc far from satisfactory. Naval sidera- tlOnS are what made inc Alaska coalS of special interest tO offi- cialS at Washington. It is prob ably logical, also, that the gov crnm"nl should rngaGr in the work of constructing d railroad necessary iu make the coalS avail able on the coast. But the pro- pOSalS mentioned point to some thing mur" than a military de-
 
 mand. They are likely ln lead tn cOmplri" government control of Inc coal mining industry in Alas ka. Private rnIrrpt'iS" in ihiS direction has been prrsiStrnlly discouraged. and We have before us all example of suggested gov rrnm"ni phl"rnali$m in take Inc place of individual operations.

Alleged Deaf Mute, Begs for
Mercy When Facing Man
With Gun.

One glance at a big revolver, flour
ished in his direction by an angry
Greek yesterday, restored both speech
and hearing to George Schemmel, aged
80 years, who has posed as deaf
mute.
According to the police, Schemmel
entered Greek store at 217 West Sec
ond South street and stole $3.50 from
the cash register. When accused of
the theft Schemmel pretended that he
could not hear nor speak. Angered
over the theft, the proprietor seized a
revolver and started for Schemmel, who
dashed out into the street, running at
top speed. The Greek made motions as
though about to fire at him, calling
out that he would shoot if Schemmel
did not stop.
Glanciug over his shoulder the
"deaf mute saw the gun pointed at
him. He threw up his hands. and came
to an abrupt stop, calling, "don I shoot,

KILLING Of HARVEY
BEING INVESTIGATED
Mexican Authorities Are Prob
ing the Murder of Nor
mon Colonist.

Investigation OF the killing Of James
ID. Harvey by outlaws at Colonla DiaS.
Mexico. has been begun at &scencion.
according to dispatch received yester-
day by the president OF the Mormon
church from Junius Romney, president
of the JuareZ stake.
This preliminary hearing came sub
scquent to an autopsy that was held on
the body of the murdered colonist MeXi-
can officials, says the telegram, are
friendly TO the colonists. and have prom
ised, to do all In their power TO bring to
Justice the man who killed Harvey.
From the tone OF Mr. Roniney's mes
sage. the first presidency Is further con
vipced that the ira gedy had no connec-
tion whatever with the war that is now
on in Mexico. but that IL WAS the result
OF raid on the coIonists by marauders
not connected with either side Of the ma
tional controversy.
Since the outbreak Of trouble in Mexi-
co, the Mormon colonists have been
urged and instructed to exercise the ut
most forbcarance in the face OF imposi-
tions upon them by bandits. This in
struction has been followed invariably
and has resulted in q minimum OF trouble
