Under a republican administration, which remained deaf to all entreaties for relief, Alaska suffered for years. On the last lap of that administration our territorial organic act was born, giving us the power l?) to govern our selves. Immediately thereafter the country was in turmoil-a legislature had to be elected. Twenty four men were elected to represent the people. At the time @ wave of non partisan feeling swept over the country. Nearly every one elected to the first legisla ture was a non partisan, having for the occasion eliminated party lines. How ever, subsequent events proved that they were not all sincere in their non partisanehip claim. Aside from that it is apparent now that the majority were meu who either had an axe to grind, or men who saw an opportunity to make for themselves a bed of roses, or men whose interruptions tenden cIes had a complete control over their usual natural allotment of honesty. With the change of administration the non-partisanship disguise has been abandoned and they have been tumb. ling into the democratic machine, and together with the old guard, they want
 L. the machine was deserving of any cred it for what Alaska has received at the hand of the present administration and entitled to dictate therefor. Surely the local democrats cannot claim that on account of their devotion to the party, they are entitled to any pref erence at the coming election.-Peters- burg Progressive.

Open the coal fields and Cordova will be city of smelter5 within a year Such is the prediction of residents of tue coastal termiuus of the Copper River & Northwestern railway. Anx- iously awaiting action of the govern ment in the coal land cases, the owners of the Boring river fields eau do uoth- ing. Millions of dollars worth of cop. per ore pass through the ports of Cor. dova, to be taken south for smelling. The product of the biggest copper mine in the world, the Bonanza, goes through Cordova, while from the ore cars, as they roll across the Copper river delta, oue might almost throw a stone to the coal fields, locked up and withheld from use. Once the coal fields are open ed and the coal made available for do. mestie use, assurances have been given that smelters will be established here. The copper ores of the interior are ad. mirable for duxiug purposes, and met alurgists say the copper output of the whole Nabesua, White river, Copper and Cbitina districts, as well as the entire Prince William sound output. could be treated if only cheap coal were available.

On last Wednesday evening, the SIagway democratic convention elected Charles E. Buunell, of Valdez, candi. date for delegate to congress. Charles E. Bunuell was born on a farm at Dim- ock, Pusquehara county, Pa, January p, 1878, and graduated from the Mont. rose, Pa., high school in 1894; he after wards worked his way through the Keystone academy, graduating in 1896; worked his way, for the most part, through Bucknell, Pa., university by waiting on table; graduating in 1900, with the degree of A. B. He took a position with the bureau of education and came to Alaska in 1900 and taught school at Wood island, 90 miles west of Orca. He went east in 1901 and mar ried a young lady who had been a class mate during his early educational struggles, after which he returned to Valdez and was instrumental in organ iziug the graded school there, which he aud his wife taught, he as principal, for four years, studying law in the mean. time. In 1902, on assigned work, the Buckrell university conferred the masters degree upon him. He has successfully practiced law since his admission to the Alaska bar, and has built up a large clientele in his home town. In addition to this be is inter ested financially in saw mill and also in the Valdez metal and sheet iron works.

If anything more were required to do this, the outbreak of the present war should prompt congress Co take imme- diate steps to induce the opening of the coal mines in Alaska and to rush the construction of the Alaska railroad for that purpose. All of tbe coal for naval uses on the Pacific has been brought around from the Atlantic. To get this coal here it has been necessary, or at least the department bas considered it necessary, to use foreign vessels. Those foreign vessels are no longer available for that purpose They would be sub ject to capture on the high seas, not- withstanding that they were loaded by our government, for vessels are al~ays subject to capture by power hostile to the flag which they fly. There are no American slips for the purpose. Every vessel which flies the American flag which can by any possibility be used for the purpose will be used in our over seas trade, 70 take the places of the foreign ships which have been with drawn from the trade. There are no means available for getting coal from the Atlantic for our Pacific fleet. Of course, the naval vessels can use the domestic coal, which is good enough for all of the merchant vessels and al. SO the revenue cutters and army trans ports, but it is not considered good enough for naval vessels, especially in war times. The situation, therefore, points now 10 the immediate necessity of opening the mines of good steaming coal for naval uses in Alaska as speed fly as possible. The opening of those mines has become a necessary part of any scheme of national defense, and the last week has shown couclusively that no nation can afford to neglect every possible measure to strengthen the national defeuses.-P.-L

PARTED FROM FRIENDS,
AUSTRIAN ENDS LIFE

John Nitpan, a native of Austria,
committed suicide at an early hour yes.

eled by Acting Coroner Jarrett yester-

The body of the deceased was found

the steamer Matsonia which sailed for
San Francisco on Tuesday morning He
told the dodgers in the house that he
wanted to 60 to San Francisco on the

no room for him. 1t is thought that
this proyed on the man . mind and was

WHITE PLAGUE
STILL ACTIVE

That tuberculosis Is still doing bust
ness on the same old stand is the indi-
cation Of the monthly report of the
chief clerks office of the AntiITuber-
leulosis League, which contains the fig,
ures for April By curious coincidence
the number of cases in Honolulu, as
we'll as the number OF deaths, remained
exactly the same as in March. There
were twenty-three new cases reported
from the municipal district while the
disease claimed nineteen as victims, or
eighty-two per cent.
This high percentage is believed to
be largely due to the fact that cases
being reported at present are in late
stages OF the disease, particularly, as
from the detailed figures, they appear
to be coming from the more ignorant
portions of the community. These
either refuse to heed the warnings to
seek proper aid, or refuse the aid when
IL is offered them, and the results Of
their folly are being well illustrated
in the eighty-two per cent mortality
rate for April. On the other hand the
league reports generous number of APP
parent cures certified to by physicians
according to law. Practically the only
difficulty in effeeting cures in those
cases which have accepted sanitariunl
treatment is the unfortunate desire to
get back to active life again the mo-
ment improvement Is felt.
Z There were ffty-three cases reported
from the Territory at large during the
month, as well as thirty-six deaths,
giving an average mortality rate of six
ty-six per cent These figures are prac-
tically the same as for March, the un.
usual increase of cases during February
not being repeated. h. -..
According to the report the Palama
Settlement 5 nursing division is ably
fulfilling its part In the crusade against
the Gredt White Plague. During April
eleven of the eases discovered in HO,
nolulu were eligible for treatment, re-
ports of each one being sent to the Pa
lama nnrses, who located each one OF
them. Unfortunately majority of them
were too far advanced and died within
the month but the remaining four wer,
all placed under expert supervision and
three Of these had been admitted to the
Leah Home before the end of the
month,
Mention is also made in the report
to new system Of reports from sana
forums recently established by the
league. Not only 90 these keep tn,
league informed Of the amount of avail
able space for the treatment of tuber
culosis patients, but also furnishes val
liable data regarding the manners anC
! results of treatment. @..
