ruE sEcoND. SESSION

It is too soon to attempt Co measure the real accom- pilshments of Che second Alaska lesslatoTe ta' tune for that will come after the legislation enacted shall have been mt to the test of practical application How ever i is sar to SAY that good work was done
 stort was made along several lines which will count for proeres On tne other hand tbere far too much ,eisation of a rcactiouary character and even more .na was left undone entirely Too many good bins and propositions were killed
 The great iault with the session. considered as a whole was ,hat 600 much thought was devoted to poi' e and the fortunes of ndyiduas and too little to AL asss Altogether too much che time was given 10 et'
 os 10 manufacture political issues and to make ioc. tonai aud personal records for political purposes
 There was too much of the spirit of 25yearsago resona politics and too tte the spirit of 2Oh cen' ,ury progress Too much tme given to working o"1 tomporzlng schemes for distributing patronage and 100 lttie Go considering sound and enduring economic principles
 There was combination of distvue' and suspicion and actonal and personal partsanship rom the begin ming that counted for impotence and failure so far as the general good is concerned.
 About the time members were becoming acquains- cd with their teammates and accustomed to public ser vice and the situation gave promise of good Delegate vicsersharn Aasas wizard the manufacture of trou be and hate and malice appeared on the scene and 'ne situation became worse than ever
 The calibre and personal integrity of tine member ship of che Legislature capable of better service than was rendered. And 1t is Che members Co say that ,hey found themselves at the last and were doing good work when the end came. It is unfortunate that they did not begin earlier in the session.
 or the work accomplished there is far more that is good than bad The memorial to Congress asking for full Territorial form of government the worSInans compensation act the uniform school law sae 'nsion of the Shour law to placers Che Improvement of the miners lien aw the other mining laws. the acts with reference to the Indians che against proie s'ona iures. and other laws are all in Che right direction
 The revenue law. while ], will probably provide more money than win needed and while some of che sehed uios are probably nequ,abe is along practical lines property tax is fair bu, the cost of the machinery for the assessment equalization and collection Of nni form property in Alaska would be enormous and out o proportion to the proceeds
 But, as said in che beginning the test of the revenue law and much the other legislation is yet to come

The whhehorso Star eriticses adversely the lew eu- acted by the Alaska Legislature which permits certain Indians to prove their status citizens with is right of franchise. 1t is skeptieal about the qaatea- ,ons of Indians in general for citizenship and suggests that Aaskaus should go slow in he matter of eonierrns citizenship upon them
 Aaskans who know win not resent the inter'er- ence in Alaskan affairs the Star notwithstanding that is published on foreign soil for its editor is an Amer ican and glad of it. and his only opporunty to have say n American matters aside from the continued foh- ia performance of his duties United States vcecon' sul at whitehorse is to write of matters of public im- portance to the Alaska readers of his interesting news paper
 However this time Stroller White has got oa wrong. He has misconceived the purpose and enooi of the law that he criticses The Alaska law does not confer any rights upon Indians that they do not now pos sess Indians who possess the qualifications referred to in the new law are already citizens and possess the right of franchise that goes with citizenship The law is inc tended to give them way prove their citizenship and thei right to ,s privileges in onautborotyc manner and to have record made of it 80 that they wiIl not have to prove every time they may desire to exercise some function of che citizenship which they possess

Football Game
This a fternoon
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 19.-The
Yale football team, entrenched almost
within sight of the stadium, and the
Harvard forces bivouacked not many
miles away, gave themselves up to
physical rest today and tried to OBJ
tain a calm mental poise In prepara-
ton for the football classic tomorrow.
Encouraged by its somewhat unex-
pected victory over Princeton last
Saturday, Yale approached the final
contest of the season with more con-
fidence than was regarded possible
ten days ago. On the other hand
Harvard hackers were fairly certain
that the Crimson not only would
make it four straight victories, but
would keep the Harvard goal line,
across which no blue foot has scam
pered in seven years, still uncrossed.
Experts agreed that each team
possessed unusual qualities both on
the defense and offense and that the
contest was one of Yale's brute
strength and bulldog tenacity against
a lighter Crimson eleven well trained
in deceptive and diversified attack.
The kicking departments of the two
teams were regarded as about equal,
although some football followers
seem to feel that Mahan was trifie
the better punter, and that Guernsey
was somewhat surer in field goal
shots.
The Yale team came over from its
quarters at Auburndale early in the
afternoon and had kicking practice IN
the stadium. Rain which apparently
heralded northeast storm, had be
gun to fall and arrangements were
made to cover the gridiron as soon
as the Yale players had left.
