n Governor who attends faithfully and conscientiously to the duties of his office and seeks solely the upbulldingI of the Territory and we feel just pride in the fact that he is first ana last an Alaskan of the Alaskans.
 Corporations In Politics.
 BE IT RESOLVED by the Democrat io Party of Alaska in convention as- sembled'
 That the Democratic Party is strong ly and unalterably opposed to any and every alliance or combination be- tween politics and corporate or other financial interests. Such interests are but chattels without body or soul, or principles, capable of being embod- fed in public policy; while politics is or should be tho instrument by which the people control their government. We believe that any influence upon politics by corporate interests as such is a crime against the commonwealth; yet the Democratic Party Is not the enemy of capital, corporate or other wise. it will protect capital with the same care that 1t would the property of the humblest citizen; but its prin- ciples will never allow capital to take the place or perform the functions of the citizen by taking part in the af- fairs of the government.
 Forest Reserves.
 Resolved, That we demand the abol- ition of the forest reserves in Alaska and condemn the administration there of as vexatious and burdensome to the people and we condemn the inactivity of the present Delegate to Congress in his failure to attempt to prevent the Pinchot policies being foisted up- on the people of this Territory.
 Alaskans Only For Office.
 BE IT RESOLVED by the Democrat ic Party of Alaska in convention as- sembled:
 That all Federal appointments in Alaska should be made from the ranks of bona flde residents of the Terri tory; 1t necessarily requires the time of a full term of office for non- resident appointees to become ac- quainted with conditions existing here, thus rendering 1t impossible to attain full efficiency from such ap- pointees; and besides, the appoint ment of non-residents is exceedingly obnoxious to the people of this Terri tory and is bitterly resented by them. Such practice demoralizes the Demo cratic Party and necessarily weakens the chances of success of any Demo. crat at any election; and finally, such appointments are contrary to the pledge of the National Party made in the Baltimore Convention of 1912, and this convention most earnestly re- quests that this pledge to the ciu- zens of Alaska be kept in good faith by the National Administration, and that the people of Alaska be not sub jected to the hated rule of carpet-bag- gers, which is contrary to the most sacred traditions of the Democratic Party.
 We especially call attention to the fact that those officials who have been appointed from Alaska are giving a splendid and satisfactory service to the people and the government and are demonstrating the wisdom of the declaration made at Baltimore.
 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of these resolutions be sent by the Secretary of this Con vention to the President and to each member of his Cabinet.

STEELTON TO STOP
bUTCHERY Of TREES
Civic Club Will Ask Council to Ap-
point Shade Tree Com
mission

Senseless butchery of shade trees
will be stopped in Steelton If plans of
the Steelton Civic Club materialize.
During the past month or so beau
tiful shade trees along many of the
borough's principal streets have been
hacked and manned by worltmen who
were stringing wires for various pur-
poses along the streets. Many of the
trees have been cut and trimmed so
badly that they have been made ut
terly useless for decorative purposes,
say members of the Civic Club.
Mrs. l.. e. Johnson, chairman of
the Civic Club, asserted this morning
that an effort would be made at the
next meeting of Council to have q
shade tree commission appointed to
supervise the planting and trimming
Of trees in the borough.
Several years ago this subject was
brought before the attention of Coun-
Gil and according to the records of
the borough secretary an ordinance
creating a shade tree commission was
passed. For some reason or other not
generally understood no commission
was ever appointed.
