FRENCH DON'T CALL THEM THE
"SAMMIES"

The use of the term "Sammies
to describe our troops is almost un-
known in France according to dis
patches received from the United

the term came into use is explained
in this wise: When the first to
fight contingent steamed into pc1t

NO TIME FOR DEMAGOGUES

The present is time in Alaska when all the people those in office and those out of office should face their responsibility with all the courage neces- sary carry their share of the burdens of those re- responsibilities It is time to play the game It is no time try to put someone in a hole. Only a coward will advocate anything for the purpose of hay ing a demagogic "holler" It is time for sincerity and earnestness It is time when one should sacri- flee personal ambition for the common good. It is a time put away childish and vain things and look stern realities in It is time to try to stir upsrife for personal advantage profit It is time when those with special responsibilities on them should consult freely and frankly and have the moral honesty to act always for the public good

FISH RESERVES AND OTHER THINGS

2
 Senator Heckman's memorial asking for the aboli- on of special fisheries reservations in Alaska should pass. There good reasons why some of the Indians should have reservations for fishing purposes to the exclusion of others and if reservations made for all of them had well banish the white from the fishing game
 The future of the Indians of the Alaskan coast will be that of citizenship in the great republic and the great Territory in which they live. That means that their lot is take part in the activities of the Territory on the basis the white people. It is the white mans burden to aid them in preparation for this future best he
 Therefore, the Indians interest in the fisheries is the that of the white That is to develop the industry along the right lines and preserve it permanent and fixed avenue for the employment of labor and capital The first step in that direction ought to be Territorial control of the industry just the first step toward progress in all other lines should be sefgovernment for the Territory. The Legislature has asked Congress to turn the fisheries to the Territory It ought again to ask that all local matters be turned for Territorial control Such action would fortify Delegate Suzer getting the proper authority for the Territory to solve the fisheries and other questions demanding solution.

 World history in the making has almost obscured
 most important event to the island people of Guam that midocean American possession where the first native congress has recently been held the call of Gov. Smith the American naval officer who is the head of the island government It appears that after eighteen years of American government the Chamboro people like it and desirous of citizenship in the great republic.
 Gov. Smiths message to the first Congress urged the people to develop the agricultural Guam. Under Spains rule the people obliged to produce certain quantities of food crops. The Amer ican government has not imposed this duty, and life the island being comparatively simple matter the people lived fruit and breadfruit stopped work. ing. Gov. Smith shows the people how desirable it is to possess good homes, automobiles and modern forts and conveniences, and the natives to in crease the food production The principal issue just is the matter of getting rid of the swaTms of rats and iguanas
 Delegate Thomas Calvo Anderson made the first speech of the session the occasion euIogy the government of the United States "the grand and civ ilzed United States of America"
 We do not ask for independence" said Delegate Anderson, but on the contrary ask desire and hope that the government of the United States will continue this island 'ad perpetuam.'

 would be welcome relief to find
 in such position who has definite views
 upon legislation and who is perpetual
 ally keeping Alaska and eye
 one Seattle for the work that has to be
 done in Congress, and while Mrs. Lewis
 may not have obtained many votes relative
 to the full total, she at least obtained the
 votes of those who know their mind
 and not lost if they havet poli-
 tical idol straddling their backs.-tNome
 industrial Worker)
 Why? What legislation could Mrs. Lewis have hoped to get from Washington that would carry into effect here the theories of Socialism?
 The fact is that Delegate Suzers program is the only that offers anything beyond theory to our Socialist friends His purpose is to bring the powers of government from Washington Alaska that Alaska majorites might legislate the Territory Is there any other way in the world Socialists legislation that they would like for the Terri tory?
 R9 Nsm can never prevail in Alaska until the pt Re Territory have the powers of self govern meni.A ks have the power to act and then the Socialists legslate to their hearts consent--if they can secGA majority of the votes and of the Legislature.
