MORAL TREASON

II is all right to talk Statehood for Alaska. lt Is all right to urge Alaska's fitness for it. It is all right to campaign for . but it is not right To uree agitation for Statehood substitute for actual self government now. The Democrats started the fight for Statehood at Valdez 1912. and they have urged t as every opportunity since that time. But they ask for selfgoyernment now-pending Statehood The Territorial Legislature has asked for it and all others in Alaska should work for it.
 There is no immediate prospect Of Statehood. Everybody admits that. Delegate Wickersham admits t He even says we are not ready for it. but will be by the time We get it. Delegate Wickersham Ia vors it in preference to full Territorial form of gov ernmen because he knows that there is chance to get it at once In his first statement saying that he would favor it was a declaration that are not even ready for full Territorial form of government The Republican party offers nothing. There is not a word in the platform of that party about Alaska and It's candidate for President dismissed Alaska in his Pacific speeches to simply wishing up well. There is absolutely no hope for Statehood
 On the other hand there is good chance to get
 full Territorial form Of government Delegate Wick ersham has admitted that it could be got through Con gress President Wilson has declared for it, and so has the Democratic National party. And dozens oi precedents are behind such procedure.
 And full Territorial form of government is self government on all local matters-and practically the same as State government except that it does not permit the people to participate in National affairs. does not generally include any granted lands and is not so expensive Its powers and functions clearly defined by 75 years of precedents. Under 1t Wash ngton Territory acquired SOOOOO population and Oklahoma over 100000 Those who would educate the people into believing that full Territorial form of government is some intangible and unknown thing are either displaying ignorance or they are wiltully saying what they know to be untrue.
 The need for selfgOyernment by the people of Alaska who are tied and bound by limitations of their power to act is so great that to do anything that would delay it's acquisition for single day is almost criminal It is moral treason to the people who are doing their best develop this Territory

WOMEN uNDERsTANp

The women of the West understand things better than those who are angling for their votes know They understand that when they shall have won three fourths Of the States for suffrage the ccNsti' tutional amendment will take care of itself They know further that 1t would be possible for them to get majority Of the States for woman suffrage Constitutional amendment and not extend suffrage be- yond It's present limits for ten years Further than that professional suffagette politicians have more influence with the average voter than profes- siona men politicians have with the average male voter Carrie Chapman Catts influence in Colorado is not more extensive than Battery Dan" Hymns influence in oregon. The women voters are wise, and they measure men and measures by about the same standard that men use in measuring them.

A woman always makes her de- cision first and then sits down and reasons it out later on.
 After all, the rich are not always as extravagant as the poor. Many a rich family uses skinned milk out of gold cream jug and many poor family uses cream out of crockery pitcher

NOT A "DRY" CITY
lSenttle Post.Intelllgeneerl

Mayor Gill; in his talk to Church workers. asked them to remember that the city will never be dry SO long Us you have the permit system. All citizens should remember that fact
 Seattle is "dry" city Washington is not dry state. The initiative law contemplated no such thing Its aim is to make salOonless city and state And 1t is to bring about that situation the authorities of the aw-the dutydong authorities of which the mayor is conspicuous eXponent-are gly ing their best energies and efforts. with measurable degree of success.
 Records show that in Seattle at least the mum Der of permits issued under the law is increasing rapidly. Individuals are accustoming themselves to the permit system More liquor in small allotted quantities is constantly brought into the Drunk enness is not SO rare earlier in the year Neverthe less there is infinitely less drinking than when the saloon existed Drunkenness has decreased many fold
 In considering presentday conditions the fact should always be borne in mind, as the mayor says that an antisaloon law a prohbitory law, is in effect and that 1t does not aim at or contemplate dry" city or state

WHY A DELEGATE?

Why do the people Of Alaska elect a Delegate to Congress? To represent our needs in Washington and secure legislation from Congress or to provide salary for promlser and Quarreler? If the for mer. why does Delegate wckersham desert his post while Congress is still in session. enactng laws and having many bills which concern Alaska before 1t for consideration? Very few of the bills which he promised the people two years ago that he would work for and to secure which he was, presumably. sent to Congress have become law; yet he is said to be on his way back to Alaska without them to make more promises and to abuse new set of goats" in exchange for another term at Washington
 At this time the place for Aaskas representative in Congress is in Washington where he can represent and work for Alaska That is what he is being paid $75OO a year to do. But Wickersham is working for Wickersham and not for Alaska He always does that

The Republican Ketchikan Progressiye-Niiner and Skagway Alaskan in halfhearted manner contend that the Republican platform In the First Division is bet ter than the Democratic Well. the Empire suggests that the voters read the platforms taking into account
 that the Democratic Territorial platform is made q part of the Divisional platform by the action of the Divisional convention as expressed in the platform that 1t adopted All of the platforms have been print ed in The Empire. and copies of them are being printed for circulation. It is the duty Of every voter to read them all. and then to remember that the Democratic legislative candidates just as good as the platform upon which they are running If they offer the most comprehensive and practicable plan for the government Of Alaska, they should receive the votes of the people and be elected.
