RgPRgsENTATlvE GOVERNMENT

Every Town Has Them

Every town has a post office. and a lot of people who call for mail every day and never get any.
 Every town has a horrible ex- ample. He gets drunk, won't work, but his wife supports him and loves him with dog like fidelity no decent man can ever hope to receive:
 Every town has it's own skin flint who discounts notes. buys up land, dresses up like a tramp and won't get his wife a new stove. Every town has it's cham pion liar who lies for practice when he don't find anything else to lie about.
 Every town has it's arguer who will challenge any statement you may make and prove it isn't so.
 Every town has its loud mouthed citizen who can't talk without making a noise like a megaphone.
 Every town has it's nice, speak easy creature who tries to be popular with everybody and whom nobody likes. Every town has its good woman whom everybody likes, and it's honest man whose word is as good as his bond.
 Every town has a man who never wears a collar and a dude who pastes down his hair and a striped pink shirt.
 Every town carries it's now peculiar type of religious crank.
 Every town has men who know all about the European wal and the government at Washing ton, but they don't know how tc make dollar a day. Every town has men and women who hate the place and are always wishing they lived somewhere else.

Railroad Men Advertise

The railroad men are all en- thusiastic Wilson men and those having headquarters at Van Buren are going to vote the straight Democratic -cou n y, state and National ticket.
 They are not only going to vote the Democratic ticket but they believe in advertising and are using the sides of box cars to write ads on, using chalk.
 They are constantly urging people to vote for Wilson and ridiculing Hughes. A recent ad was seen on a car set on a siding at Denning which reads thus;
 Buy the papers,
 Read the News
 Vote for Wilson
 To HI with Hughes.
 We hope everyone will take the advice contained in the first three lines. Mir. Hughes can do as he pleases about changing his abode as they advise in the last line.

f1s stass Democratic platform has thas to say sa local lsgislation: We believe the legislatures in the last decade Aave indulged to much local anA special legislation in disregard of the srastt of the constitution and we usvs the next general assembly te re- duso to . minimum this evil.

 The state convention was wise in dsnouncing the evil of purely local ls0isaation in the general assembly. but instead of trusting to the next legislature to enact a constitutional amendment to remedy the evil would 1t not have been better to have rec commended the adoption at the next election of Amendment No. I8. which provides that counties, cities and towns may enact all local legislation through the initiative and referendum at special or regular elections as the necessities of the case require and the majority of the voters in the dis trict affected shall approve? And Is 1t not more common sense way to lot the voters in the community di- rectly interested and familiar with local conditions settle the question involved by a majority vote than to rsfsr 1t to . legislature composed of mea unfamiliar with the local condi- Uoas and whose verdict at the hast . htAls better than a gusssY

ATTACK ON ROADS

 The military authorities nave viewed with surprise. and some indignation. the introduction in the House by Delegate Wickersham of Alaska, of a bill GIL R 464Sl which has been under consideration in che House committee on Territories and is now said to be approved by that committee The bin, of innocent phraseology. in reality appears to deprive the War Department of it's function exercised since l9O5 or constructing and maintaining roads in Alaska Ihis important work has been under the supervision oL board of road commissioners, of which Colonel w. r.

Indeed, during the hearings this session before the House military committee ls members manifested gratifying appreciation of what had been achieved and a determination to retain con tro Of this important work Tbe obectonabe pending legislation aims to amend act of Congress approved August 24 1912 creating legislative assembly m Alaska so as to empower and authorize that body to alter amend modify. repeal the act Of Congress- approved in 1905, relating to the construction and maintenance of roads, among other things. lt IS sur missed that the Alaskan legislative assembly will by virtue Of authority given in the pending legislation proceed Co repeal the act of Congress or so to amend or modify u as Co entirely separate War Department jurisdiction and the Alaskan road commissioners from the control of road construction in Alaska.

Opposition Is just human natlre workin
 out as of yore The people in the Territories
 will be more content with officials chosen
 from among themselves whether or not there
 is any real improvement effected I is cur
 ious how man persists In working back to the
 tribe or clan, natures primitive government, In
 the face of seeming advantage from the so-
 called scientific systems.
 1T the Cincinnati paper could have gone further into the question 1t would have discovered that there is more than mere canshness in the desire Of the people of che Territories to have officials selected from their numbers. It would have discovered that the real reason for the Territorial sentiment which found expression the national platform-is based on democratic principle and concrete tact-the prnei' pie that a public officer is public servant and the fact that man acquainted with the people and the conditions under which they exist is not only better qualified but more likely carry into effect the will Of the people than the alien who comes to the country with commission and carpet bag.
 In support of this theory is the declaration of the Democratic national convention in favor of the radi tonal form of government for the Teritoresa direct recognition of the principle of the right Of people to seltgoyernment and public servants instead Of public masters
