PROMISING DISCOVERY OF
 GOLD AT sALcHANET

The discovery of what appears to be a large body of pay on Twentymile creek in the salchaket country Is one of the most encouraging finds record. ed in Panama in recent years. It Is another one of those evidences that all the gold in the valley has not been found-that there are new creeks ad. jacent to Fairbanks which await the coming of the prospector to turn them into producing streams.
 The Twentymile is not large creek, and 1t is not known yet if a regular paystreak will be developed; but the fact that good pay has been found on one claim will attract many prospectors to the Salchaket country, and it Is not unreasonable to believe that other creeks will be found in that region which will give equally good returns.
 The Times has long contended that the upper Panama offered a promising field for prospectors. Beginning with the discovery of gold in the Tender foot country nearly decade ago, con sistent prospecting has added mater. ially to the producing streams above Fairbanks. The Tenderfoot has substantial annual output, the Salcha- ket has produced a considerable quantity of gold, and there is promise of extensive operations in the Delta country as soon as capital can be obtained to supply the necessary equipment. The gold is there. but like many other propositions in Inter- for Alaska, it cannot be mined by or dinary methods, and those who own the ground have not the money neces. sary to put the property or a paying basis.
 The fact that gold has been found over such a wide area encourages the belief that there are other localities on the upper Panama which are equally rich or richer, and we look forward to the day when there will be dozens of small camps scattered over the valley above Fairbanks. It may take years to locate all the placers, but with the coming of new
 people to the Interior prospecting will be stimulated greatly and the chance of discovery increased pro-. portionately. There is the promise that grubstakes will be easier to get before the end of another year and more prospectors willing to take a chance in the hills. And what is equal. ly important, there is the likelihood that there will be an abundance of capital ready to open up the proper ties after they have been located.-I Fairbanks Times.

HOME RULE AND OTHER THINGS

THE Fairbanks Citizen continues
 it's opposition to the Democrat,
 ic principle of home rule for AL aska. urged by President Woodrow Wilson. It says:
 Home rule for Alaska, as far as it has been applied in the formation of the recent Legislature, has proved to be a dismal failure. and instead of improving conditions has left the laws of the Territory in a hopeless tangle from which it can only be relieved by expensive litigation or by the passage Of new laws by Congress to nullify those passed by the Legislature.
 AS soon as Alaska's population reaches the point where it can support itself. then home rule. or even State government, will be desirable, but there are not enough people in the whole Of Alaska at the present time to make moderate-sized city"
 The Citizen evidently is not as well acquainted with the history of Amer ican Territorial government as the President was when he declared for such an organization for Alaska.
 The population of Alaska is greater than was that of any of the o.her Ter ritories of the Nation when accorded selt.goyernmeut. and the Territory is more productive and better able to sup port a government. Several of the States were admitted to the Union before they contained as many people as are resident in Alaska. Nevada had been a State 30 years before it was as populous as this Territory is. Very few of the States possessed q city as large as Juneau Is when ad- mitted into the Union, and all of the States of the West except Texas and California experienced a long period of full Territorial government before they became States.
 Such failure as has attended the Ter. ritoriaI government of Alaska has been due to the inadequacy of the govern ment. The people of the Territory have not been given too much author. ity but too little. It is preposterous for anyone to say that a wide area of country and nr. merous people can develop along the right lines unless they have control over their own governmental affairs. It is contrary to American experience in particular and all human experience generally.
 Complete home rule for Alaska is demanded by every Amercian princi. pie and by every principle of Democ. racy.

There has never been a man at the head of the United States government as we'll acquainted with the history of his country, or possessing such com plete knowledge of the principles in- volved in the evolution of government as there is at the present time-and none have possessed greater wisdom or a keener sense of justice. When Pres ident Wilson said that Alaska should have full Territorial government he spoke on a subject about which he was informed. He spoke with the knowl- edge of an expert and the wisdom and justice of a sage.

TAFT AND DEMOCRACY.

FORMER President Taft has made
 another speech decrEaRgg the teR-
 dencies of democracy. This time he attacked the initiative and ref erendum, and again inveighed against the recall.
 The anti-democratic speeches of the former President explain the com plete failure of his administration. He is opposed to direct rule by the peo- ple. and the people naturally refuse to have confidence in those who lack confidence in them.
 However, Mir. Taft is wasting his en- ergy. The people have determined to be the masters in the Nation, its sep arate States and municipalities, and they will retain the forms of govern ment that make that possible. The initiative, referendum, recall and di- rect primaries have come to stay be- cause it has been demonstrated that they are necessary instruments in the work of keeping the powers of govern ment in the hands of the people.
 In attacking the democratic tenden- cy of the times former President Taft is setting his face against progress. The one great central fact in the cen turies.old fight for self.governmenth has been the struggle of the masses to re- tain the powers of government. When the authority of government is in the hands of the people, public wrongs cannot long endure. When the masses are masters the classes must perform their parts in the open.

A writer in a current magazine naive Iy contends that President Wilson should not surrender in the free tolls matter to Great Britain because there is really little danger that that coun' try would go to war over the matter with the United States" If one were to judge from the literature produced by those who assail the President on this free tolls question the mental pie lures they have of the average Ameri- can reader would be worth seeing though one would need powerful mic roscope.

spector Bothell.
MAPLEWOOD FARM WINS FIRST.
The first award in the certified
class went to J. d. Farrell, of the
Maplewood farm, with an average of
90. SO, considered to be remarkably

lishment in the university district,
won first in the raw market class, and
the Cloverleaf dairy in the pasteurized

CUsIMINs MEETING CALLED OFF

The Republican meeting dated for
Tuesday morning at 10:30, when
Senator A. b. Cummins was to adj
dress the people of Audubon county
at the court house, was called off
Sunday and word was sent around
that Senator Cummins would not be
here. The senior senator has been
conducting a strenuous campaign the
past two weeks and while touring
Marshal and Linn counties last week
over taxed his voice. After the
Cedar Rapids meeting Saturday
night Senator Cummins was unable
to speak above a whisper, so the
state chairman was notified that all
dates for this week would have to be
cancelled. Extensive preparations had
been made for a big meeting Mon
day night at Atlantic. There was
of course considerable disappoint-
ment when these meetings were can
celled, but there is still a chance
tina. Senator Cummins will fill these
dates later in the campaign.

A RECORD WORTH HAVING

Below is clipping that recently
appeared in one of the Upton papers
which is the home town of r. G.
Cousins. He is so we'll and favor
ably known in Audubon that his
friends will be pleased to read the
good things said about him in the
following:
Robert G. Cousins is home again
after filling his late August and
early September dates, which kept
him on the road most Of the time.
1t is a record worth having, how
ever, that during a quarter of a cen
fury of more or less continuous pub
lie speaking on all manner OF occa-
sions, Mr.. Cousins has never failed to
appear and fill his engagements
wherever his promise was outstand-
ing.
In evidence of the excellent salts
faction given on the Chautauqua
platform, testimonials continue to
appear, the following being from the
Guthrie Center Times:
ION Friday Hon. Robert G. Cous-
ins came to us. Mr.. Cousins has per-
haps few equals and no superiors as
an orator, and he was not disap-
pointment, but rather an inspiration
to those who heard his message of
biography. He showed the great
ness to which human character
might attain, and spoke in purest
English--without mincing words
of the opportunities and possibili-
ties of the American boy. 1t was a
grand address and left a splendid
taste in the mouths of his hearers. I"

REGRETS TO LEAVE AUDUBON

Mrs. John Ward, who was in the
city the latter part of last week
packing her household goods pre-
paratory ITO shipment to Sioux City
where the Wards will make their
future home, completed her arduous
task and left Saturday. She regret
ted very much at leaving Audubon
after making her home here so many
years, but Mr.. Wards business calls
him to northern Iowa and into the
Dakotas so much that Sioux City
would be much nearer the center of
his business activities. Audubon
people regret that the Wards have
decided to leave, but il the new To-
cation is to better their condition,
all of them hope to hear of their con-
tinued success and prosperity. The
family leaves behind host offriends
who hope they will see fit to make
frequent visits back to good old
Audubon.
