says the Cordova Times, and when all have had an opportunity of expressing them selves a meeting should be called and the association formed. Some of the advan- Itages to be derived from such action are contained in the following editorial in a re- cent issue of the Prospector
 "Now that the bankers, the miners and every other business in the Territory have formed an organization, what's the matter with the newspapers} If ever a business needed organization as a body it is the news papers of the Territory. By buying together they could clip good many cents per pound off the price of stock; they could secure a live advertising agent in Seattle and fill their papers with Seattle advertising; ad- vertising rates could be adjusted to suit outside advertising, and gathering once la year at some point in the Territory would advance the business beyond hit and miss experiment. In the state of Washington the organization has proven so successful that a publisher would miss his member ship sadly in doing business. Seattle offers a lucrative advertising field to the papers of Alaska, but they must organize so that their agent can offer advertising in all of them. Let's organize, brothers, into the
 Alaska Press Association, and reap the ben efits of association"

TIME TO QUIT MAPPING

The interests of Alaska will suffer if this yappug ou the part of the press about Wickcrsham's Prohibition bill which al- most unanimously passed both houses of congress, iS not discontinued.
 Personally we are as strongly in favor of Territorial control of the liquor business, md an other businesses now controlled from Washington. as anyone, but at least ninety per cent. of the people of the outside world know but little of our aspirations for self government and if this kicking about what Alaska actually asked for by her vote last November continues, not only the vast majority of the people but congress SIS we'll will reason something like this:
 The second Territorial legislature of Alaska provided for referendum on the liquor question. That referendum was eX- crri>cd ou November 7th and the result was that by vote of nearly two to one the pco- pie expressed a desire for Prohibition. That was as far as Alaska could go. Under the laws governing her the Territorial legisla- tWc could not lcgislatc in accord with the sentiment of the people expressed at the polls Alaska $ Delegate in congress. as was his mdiSputed privilege if he so desired, in- troduccd a bin cmbodying the expressed wish of the people That bin went through both houses without even debate. Alaska, by the passage of that bill, was given just what am overwhelming majority of her peo- pie asked for at the polls and now they are kicking because a Prohibition bill has been passed, for that is what they indicated by their vote they deSircd-but at the man. nar in which it was given them They got what they voted for and are still kicking.
 Another thing: Probably half or two thirds of the people who voted for Prohi- bition i'm Alaska did so for the reason that they wanted it and they did not care two whoops whether it was brought about through a bill introduced by Delegate Wick ersham or through suggestions to congress from the Territorial legislature They have what they asked for and are satisfied. "Wick" both made and lost friends by his

ROTTEN STATE OF AFFAIRS

Thct. is probably but one place il. cN- isrcucc where moral and social conditions arc wors. than in that portion of Douglas known as "Thc Beach" and hell IS that place
 It is am off night when there is nothing dojue i'm the line of law breaking on the beach. IL is the Mecca of whisky pcddlcrs, tl, haunt of s0uaw scduccrs the homcport of cum men. Less than a month ago am ln- diam woman died there from am overdose of whisky supplied to her by white man. Last Friday evening another Indian woman was shot to death there and the merry ear uval o. crime goes on.
 !. must not be inferred that all the resi- dents of thc beach, Indians or otherwise, arc law breakers. Many honest, industri- ous aud hardworI,ng people of the white auI orhcI. race, live there. But among the decent whites and Indians are the repre- Srurativcs of dozen OF more nationaIltleS that are as low in human degradation as It jspos>ibc for them to be.
 w. have it ou good authority that there arc landlords owning property on the beach who rent cabins to single men, the rental including light, water and squaws.
 The beach problem is a serious one. The officer, of the law, while probably doing the hest they cam. seem helpless in coping with t., situation. The city council has taken au interest in the community but the evil therein lurking is too deeply rooted to be czcmmatcj by the ordinary cleaning process. The Federal government whose wards the Indians are, appears as helpless as that of the municipality in stemiug the rrJal wave of crime that sweeps over the beach practically every night and the crest O. which is crowned with a murder about ourc month.
 The only hope for the beach community i, in thc segregation of the races, and how to bring this about is a problem which must b, solved if the now bIood-Staincd reputation of Douglas iS to be redeemed.

It would be a good idea to give the Beach a native policeman provided "a suitable person for the position can be ob- taincd. The native who at one time held the position and who was lately endeavor- ing to secure it for himself again. is now serving a sixty day sentence for soliciting drink There is a possibility that vice in that ncighborhood is now so rampant that native officer would not be able to cope with it. What is needed in that locality is a mau who is absolutely without fear and who is am adept at club swinging.

Almost every branch of industry in the Territory has been organized, and why not a press association?

Let the agitation be extended,

IS UP TO THE
 LEGISLATURE
Provision Must Be Made to Replace Money Formerly Obtained
 from Saloons

The passage of the Alaska prohi- bition law by congress will put a lot of work on the coming session of the Alaska legislature. There will be a shortage Of municipal and ter ritoriol revenues that will amount Co nearly S35O,OOO. for 326 saloons and six brcwcrics will go out of ex- istence with the end of the present year These saloons, says the Cordova Times, pay a license fee Of S1.OOO each, and the cigar and other businesses that are incidental Co the saloons will bring the total sbriukage of revenues Co at least the first sum mentioned
 Half of this loss will be felt dur ing the current year, because the .bm that has been passed by con gross authorizes the United States district courts Co issue licenses for the half year beginning July 1 and terminating December 31 next.
 The loss of revenues will affect the municipalities more than it will the Alaska fund, for most Of the sa- looms ore within the municipalities and tLe organic act limits the a- mount of taxes they can levy and provides that they cannot create an indebtedness
 A statement Of this situation cx- plains one of the practical arguments advanced by those who favored a territorial prohibition law rather

 In the meantime, let us not give the bal- ancc of the world and congress as well, the impression that we Alaskans are chronic kickers.

The Territorial Legislature which meets the 9th of next month at Juneau will be the most important session in the history of the Territory in that it will have more important legislation to enact than any of its predecessors. It is encouraging to note that members already on the ground are busy preparing bills and otherwise lining up for the session. While the legislature will be almost equally divided politically, it is to be hoped it will be organized and conducted wholly on non-partizan lines. The members should meet, not as Demo- crats and Republicans, but as Alaskans.

Potatoes are now selling at from $75 to $S5 per ton in New York. Seventeen years ago this month we paid $2.5O for two pounds of potatoes in Dawson, which was at the rate of $2,5OO per ton, but we only bought two pounds. In those days one small potato and a half pound of meat were good for forty gallons of stew, the principal ingredient of which was water from the Yukon river. But even at that we sympathizc with the New Workers with potatoes selling at only $100 per ton in Douglas.
