4FULL TERRITORIAL FORM OF GovERN0IENT'

@The expression full Territorial Government is vague and indefinite. We have Territorial Govern ment now. We have had Territorial Government since 1884 No one can say is or has been less than full for there is no standard of measurement for Terri torial functions. However when people talk of full Territorial Government for Alaska distinguished from the one we have now, am inclined to think some of them have in mind the powers of selfgovernment which were bestowed upon those Territories which have now become States.
 'The governments for the older Territories were ot all alike John Rustgard in Dispatch interlew)
 The interview of John Rustgard is both interesting and instructive. He very clearly shows that some oI those who have been shouting home rule did not know what they were talking about but were simply voicing an intangible something for which it supposed every American desires Tn other words home rule IS rather flexible quantity and subject to good many n- terpretatons
 Mr. Rustgard presents an advanced for moi home rule which he believes Alaska should have-that of Territory with good many of the privileges nejoyed by States.
 The Dispatch has been consistently trying to get certain newspapers who have been shouting so loud for home rule to clearly specify what they wanted instead of dealing with generaltes but thus far it has had success AIr.

The tone Is that or party leader confident in the future and prepared to face the country on the strength of his party's record. NO person in the Presidents position could have made 8 broader claim Tor the organization with which he IS iaen- hhed.

RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY P. p. Claxton,
q. s. Commissioner Of Education.

In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length Of
school term in cities of the United
States is one hundred and eighty.
five days; in rural communities n
hundred and t%hirty-eight days, a dit.
ference Of f%orty-seven days. In some
States the difference is much greater
than this average. In many counties
the average length of the rural
school term is less than n hun.
dred days, and in some districts it is
less. On the other hand, in the
States of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
in session one hundred and eighty
days in a year, and in several other
States almost as long The country
schools Of Rhode Island are in ses.
sion one hundred and ninety days In
q year.
If all children are to have an equal
opportunity for education we must
even up the school terms of the
country and give to all country chill
dren at least az many days as are
| now given to city children. One
hundred and eighty-ive days OF
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are coun'
tries in which the schools, both fol-
city and country, are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun
dred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need as
much education as those of any 9th
er country, and this applies to the
rural as we'll as urban districts.

GOLD
They Will Blister and Explode Whom

They Will Blister and Explode Whom
Heated In a Bunsen Flame.
By what process is a nugget Of gold
compacted into form In which 1t is
found? Sometimes a mass worth
more than $4,000 is found. In an
swer to the question there is cited the
attempt Of an investigator in Austria
liza to ascertain the workings of ma
ture in this respect. This ~invest1ga-
tor, says the Science Siftngs, cut and
sliced and polished gold nuggets with
the sole purpose of ascertaining just
what was their structure.
The first thing he discovered was
that there is one curious point Of re-
semblance between nuggets and me-
teorites. Both when polished and
etched with chlorine water exhibit a
crystalline structure.
In the case of meteor1tes the lines
thus exhibited on the etched surface
are called W~idmanstatten figures, and
their presence is held to be one of
the most invariable characteristics Of
those metallic bodies that fall from
the sky to the earth. But 1t is not
meant to be implied that gold mug.
gets have fallen from the sky be.
cause they exhibit a crystalline struc.
ture recalling that of meteor1tes. The
resemblance is apparently only super.
1dal. and the crystals Of the nuggets
differ in form from those of the me.
teorites.
Another curious fact is that when a
nugget is heated in a Bunsen flame
explosions take place On its surface.
Blisters are formed which continue to
swell until they burst with a sharp re.
port, and bits of gold are violently
scattered about. It is evident that the
nuggets contain either gases or some
liquids OF solids which are easily con
verted into the gaseous form, the ex'
pansion of which produces the explo
| sions.

THE PENALTY Of
"CARE[EssNESs
BY S. W.. InsMsh,
Fire Prevention Expert.

Every time you hear the cry Of
"Fire!" you a be almost absolutely
safe in thinking that someone has
been careless. Fires don't happen.
They are the inevitable result of
combinations of preventable things.
When analysed to the last equation
1t will be found that carelessness is
the root whence spring nearly all
fires.
What a penalty industry pays to
carelessness! Fire Is the great de.
stroyer. The wealth of a generation
can be wiped out in but a brief hour.
Why not fight fires before they
start? Why not SO conduct your
habits and so keep your premises
that when the fire demon wants to
offer your savings as a sacrifice he
will pass you by, just as those of
Egypt of old were passed over when
the sign they had been told to place
over their doors. we're seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from fire cry out they
are the victims of bad luck, they are
but paying the natural penalty fol
their own carelessness.
If you want to keep down your fire
insurance rates, wage eternal war
fare against those things that evel
breed fires.

CHESS IS NOT so SLOW.
Fifteen Moves an Hour 10 tho Rule In
Championship Games.

Fifteen Moves an Hour 10 tho Rule In
Championship Games.
What Is the average length of time
that a chess player in an international
championship contest takes to mover
Among mere human players there
are many traditions Of how these peers
Of the game scorn to make q move in
less than an hour; nay, more, how they
consume whole evenings and often
times days in a single move. Such
tales are rife in rural chess circles.
Now, in hard fact, these superplay-
ers move more rapidly than the ev-
eryday expert. The common limit in
international championship matches is
fifteen moves an hour; a player failing
to get within this limit loses the game
no matter how commanding his posi-
ton; an average Of four minutes to the
move is considered ample time. In
deed, when Capablanca challenged
Lasker for the worlds championship
he was held to be justified in refusing
Lasker's condition that the limit be
heightened to twelve moves an hour.
In championship games a chess clock
Is always used. This has two dials,
each dial controlled by a plunger. I'm.
mediately after black has moved white
strikes his plunger, which starts the
hands on his dial recording time. Al
the instant he To- he strikes bis
plunger again, halting the mechanism
Black then strikes the plunger Of his
dial, starting his clock in turn. The
dials thus record the net time each
consumes In moving.
OF course in practical play the con
testant gets more than the four min
utes. The first eight or ten moves art
almost always book plays, made in lesi
than a minute each. This allows mucl
time IS credit on later W Fur
thermore, ever when his opponent i
moving, a player studies his own mex
move, based on the probable move o
his opponent. But the day long O
even the hour long move exists only IL
