LABOR LEADERS AcoUITTAL

The Lawrence, Mass, strike lead CTS have been acquitted of a murder charge growing out of the deplOr. able strike and resultant riots which disgraced that manufacturing town nearly a year ago.
 We believe that the verdict was a righteous one. We also believe that these men should never have been ar rested on such charge. 1t was a flim' sy, trumped.up affair, brought for the purpose of getting the strike leaders-Ettor and Giovannitti-out Of the way, for with the leaders gone the rank and file. 1t was known would soon fade away. And, practically that is just what happened. Ettor and his companions in jail, the back bone of the strike was broken, al though the strikers gained conces' sions.
 The the textile manufacturers oi Lawrence were at fault. That fact has been conceded by their friends and their actions created a sympathy for the striking employees that was unmistakable and pronounced; and instead of helping themselves, they really aided the cause of those whom they sought to repress.
 The people of Massachusetts have learned their lesson, if we read the comment of their newspapers alright The rule of reason must be applied to most things and conditions.

legislation of any kind could be ex. pected from this session of Congress, He is undoubtedly right, and so far as Alaska legislation is concerned we may expect nothing. and we will not be disappointed. Congress will put through the necessary appropriations bills and by that time there will be little time left for anything else.
 The real work will begin with the special session which will be con vened early in April.
 It is noted that in his interview here and in Cordova Judge Wickersham indicated in his statements that he expects a good deal for Alaska from the Democratic administration, though himself member of the Progressive party. Every real Alaskan will share this hope no matter what his politi' cal predilections or affiliations may be.
 The Democratic national platforms are clean-cut in the expression Of the policies that the next administration should adopt toward the territory. We have confidence in Mir. Wilson, as we'll as faith enough in the Demo, cratic pledges to lead us to believe that the several Alaska problems which the last two Republican admin lstratlons have failed to solve, will find a satisfactory solution at the hands of the incoming government
 The Democratic party has been en' dorsed by the people of the country it's avowed policies have been ap, proved, and it is for the party to re deem these promises. Alaska stands practically alone as a territory. She has nothing in common with Hawaii Porto Rico or the Philippines. and so far as The Empire is concerned it stands for Alaska first, and politi cal parties are a secondary consid eration. That political party, or that politician or statesman. who stands for Alaska, works for it's best inter ests. and endeavors to give it a square deal, will receive our support no matter how he may be tagged DO itically.

A TERRITORIAL CAPITOL.

According to Delegate Wicker. sham. there is no cause for mental or other perturbation over the matter of paying hall rent or other incidental expenses connected with the first ses' sion of the Alaska territorial legisla. ture. The enabling act provides for the legislature in this respect. The delegate is undoubtedly right, but still the important fact remains that a suitable place in which the lawmak. CTS may meet is a problem which is up to the people of Juneau to solve, temporarily. or. that is to say. the government will take that view of the matter.
 It is a question of moment for the Alaska people that territorial capitol be erected and the only way to get it is to secure the necessary appro- priation for such building. In this We need the hearty cooperation of Delegate wickersham - something which we will no doubt have-and besides we need the active support Of all friends of Alaska, both in and out Of Congress.

 It is a matter Of more than pass ing interest to The Empire to read the words of commendation that have been expressed by most of the Alas ka newspapers. and Alaskans them selves, irrespective of political lean. ings, with respect to the Alaska blanks and the Conservation blanks Of the Democratic national platform.
 The Alaska blanks were the sole work of Alaskan members Of the Bai. tlmore convention; and in the work Of framing the conservation blanks. the Alaska member Of the committee suited. and he assisted in obtaining suited, and he assisted in obtaining something that was thought would meet the appreciation Of all real Alas l,a conservationists - not the Pin chot school. but that other school of conseryauonists who would make le- gitlmate use Of all the natural re- sources Of the country, while wise ly conserving them. at the same time. for the use of future generations in other word guarding against the reckless use and needless waste which have characterized the history Of the past.

 This and other questions pregnant with importance to Alaskans. must be settled. and settled right. And then the territory should enter upon a per manent era of development and pros perity.

LlEUTENANTE WAGNER
 DECLARED A FAKER

LONDON, Nov, 26. - Lieutenant Wagner, of the Vienna Reichspost, who was declared a newspaper faker a few days ago. and whose reputation went up like rocket when he was claiming to be the only correspondent in the Balkan war who had witnessed a battle, has fallen like the prover- bial stick.
 English newspapers who believed Wagner was used, knowingly or inno- gently by the Bulgarian stan to send reports calculated to mislead the Turks.
 The great battle Wagner declared had been fought nearly a fortnight ago at Tchatalja. losses in which, he said, exceeded those at Lures-Burgas, never occurred. One correspondent with the Bulgarian headquarters de- clares Lieut. Wagner was at headquar- ters most of the time during the bat tie of Kirk.Kilisseh, which he claimed to have witnessed, and that he would have had to ride 200 miles in two days if he had seen 1t.

THANKSGIVING
 FIFTY YEARS AGO
By E. E. BEATTIE.

When, during this Thanksgiving day, We think of our joys of life, our bump CT crops, and the prevalent prosperity of our blessed land, we are curious to know what the people during the dark, dreary days of the Civil War had to be thankful for
 In his first Thanksgiving procla' nation, dated 1862, Lincoln asked the American people to unite in thanks to the Almighty, and to ask for con. solution of the relatives of those who so nobly gave their lives in the great struggle that was then taking place.
 The next Thanksgiving declared, was to take place on the sixth day of August, 1868. The proclamation was substantially the same as that of the previous year and Lincoln asked: ito lead the whole nation through the paths of repentance and submission to the Divine will, back to the per feet condition of union and fraternal peace"
 In the same year, Lincoln issued another call, directing Thanksgiving to be held on the last Thursday of November. Although war was rag. ing in our boundaries and claiming its thousands of victims, yet the shut tie. axe, and the ships had not been idle. The axe of the frontiersman had widened our borders, the mines were yielding an increase of their precious metal, and the population was steadily increasing, No human had done this, said Lincoln. it was the gracious gift of the most High God"
 In 1865 President Johnson issued his first proclamation, decreeing the first Thursday of December for giv- ing thanks that the Civil War had not re-opened; that foreign war, pes tilence and famine had been averted; and for the bounteous crops and har- vests. The next year thanks was rendered for the fact that the Civil War had not re-opened. there was no more danger of foreign intervention, pestllence had been mitigated, do- mestic tranquility had been restored, | the fields were abundant, the mining industry richly rewarded, and the railroad system, the fine thread that binds the republic, extended.
 In 1867 thanks was again brought forth for the bumper crops and in 1868 for the newly.acQulred friend ship of the far-ofr nations.

A friend of The Empire, writing from Seward, under date of Nov. 19, says;
 q noticed in one of your late is- sues that you are not in sympathy with the brown bear. Go to it. They don't deserve any protection, and in fact arc fully able to look out for themselves.
 q spent last winter on the Alaska peninsula. Caribou and brown bear are very plentiful there saw about 5000 caribou during the winter, and quite few bear in the spring. This winter I am stopping on the Kenai peninsula. Moose are very plentiful here, and there has been but little hunting done this open season, few hunters coming from the outside"
