William A. Gilmore. former mayor of Nome and former Republican can didate for Delegate to Congress sug- gestcd in a speech at Seattle las. Thursday that the Seattle Chamber cf Commerce take ao ,le matter of in ducIng Congress . pass such l2ga ton as would enable the Alaskans to adjust their affairs for themselves.
 "we are qualified to adjust these things" said Gilmore. "but under the enabling act. we are not allowed to leglslate. The territorial government granted to us has string to 1t. and every time we pass a law, somebody at Washington gives to string yank. Under the law we cannot even build a road or school house, without first running down to Washington to get permission.
 Need Full Territorial Government
 We should have territorial law giving Alaskans the right to adjust their own local affairs, with the pro- vision that when we pass law 1t shall become a law unless Congress sets 1t aside within a given period"
 Gilmore expressed the gravest doubt as to anybody present, or their child ren. living to see Alaska erartei statehood

II is. of course. not for us TO cri,i-

nelghbors. but one point in Presi-

must be obvious to every one who has
followed in however desultory a FASH
ion. the progress of the war In Eu-
rope.
One proposal of Secretary of War
Garrison's plan is to raise volunteer
army of 100000 men. pledged to a
service of six years of military duty
and to undergo periods Of intensive
military training during three of
these years. In the presidents words
there will be "a great body of citi-
zen's who have received at least the
most rudimentary and necessary
forms OF military training" and who
will be ready to form themselves
into fighting force at the call of
the nation"
The war now raging has emphasiz-
ed nothing more strongly than the
fact that fighting under modern con-
ditions is strictly specialized bust
ness. The sending into action of citi-
zen soldiery whose training has been
acquired only through periods OF in
tensive training during three years
would not be war but murder.

The Contrast.

Secretary McAdoo's fanciful tabu-
latton OF treasury prospects, accom-
panied by his grotesque suggestions
for further burdens OF direct taxa
ton, was issued November 26. The
secretary lays special emphasis upon
the demanded expenditure for ma
tional which he sets at
about $4,000, 000-and shapes his
course accordingly.
Now. let us suppose that the last
Republican administration had been
confronted with similar problem on
the corresponding day That is 10
say. let us suppose that on Novem-
Der &c. 1911. the year before the last
presidential election. the Republicans
had had to provide for $4,000, 900
OF defense money-what could they
have done?
They could have paid for 1t out OF
the treasury surplus. which then
amounted 10 S129.7S7.547. 81 with
out levying a single dollar OF new
taxes. They would have shown an
increasing treasury balance, until a
year later. they would have had more
than s55. 100000 of surplus on hand.
And this result would not have been
produced by any legerdemain OF
bookkeeping.
Today the Democrats must levy
more taxes because they have spent
the money accumulated ny Republi-
cans; and in another year they them
selves expect to be more than $780,.
100000 in the hole. The contrast

Among the remarkable changes OF
opinion and position which have
marked President Wilson'S course
none is more striking than that in re-
lation to Tammany Hall. While Will
son had huge majority in Congress
and the opposition in the country
was divided, Wilson had no use for
Tammany. But now 1t is different.
The Tammany Tiger is in fair way
to supplant the White House cat as a

The Telegram congratulates H. C.
Ogden, publisher of the Wheeling In

contempt of court proceedings pre-
ferred against him by the Manufac-
turers' Light and Heat Company.
The federal court decided favorably
to Ogden points in the case and
told the corporation that IL it re-
manned longer in court. 1t must 10
certain things. 1t faile dto do them
and the case ended automatically.
Ogden thus stands indicated as a
publisher who numerically flayed
the gas company and undauntediy
exposed its questionable tactics. Had
he been found in contempt. he would
have been martyr to the peoples

case is recognition OF the principle
of freedom of speech in championing
