placed by women, or are otherwise
available for farm work. who are not
now employed in any position that IS
helping to win the war. After all that

President Wilson's attitude in the discussion O. peace with Germany has been to insist in military sense upon all the advantages that would accrue fror an unconditional surrender, while on the other hand he has left the door open the German people arc free make democracy if they will
 The President has made it plain that 1t will serve purpose to attempt to make paper de- mocracy. There must be dissembng. There must N "scrap of paper constitution no theoretical popular government with actual control by the Hohenzolerns and the army.
 Now the whole matter is up to Germany and the Germans. If the German people take their government, permit If determination of tionaiity by the peoples within what has been the German Empire, quit the inhumanities which have made Hun miitarism a loathsome abomination in the sight of civilization, get out of Belgium and France and otherwise meet the conditions that have been laid down, foundation will have been laid for peace negotiations. Or, if the German government will make such surrenders and take such az the Allied commanders may dictate to make it SC place the Allies in position to enforce without tion such peace might be agreed upon, in short if they will surrender bloodshed and destruc tion will
 The other alternative is to fight it out. And in the meantime the Allied armies will go on, whipping the Germans and fighting their way toward Berlin. If the result shall be the destruction of many Ger cities, the shedding of much German blood, the crushing of the Germans to earth, might it be. Germany must become democracy. If the Germans do not make it the Allies will. If the Germans do not submit before that time, they will be forced to submit after the Allies occupy Berlin. It is up to the Germans to deal themselves what cards they will.

WICKERSHAM WAS FOR RULE OF ALASKA BY
 APPOINTED OFFICERS

Mir. Wickersham has been consis-
 tent in his fight against Home Rule for Alaska. In his speeches he has
 said that he wanted less for Alaska than any other Territory ever had He has said that the people should
 have no power they could use for or against themselves; that he want ed such limitations on their govern
 ment. But the evidence adduced from the Congressional Record shows
 that he went even further
 Tom Gale, when Delegate from Alaska, introduced bill in Congress for complete Home Rule for Alaska. That bill was written by Congress man William Sulzer, of New York. It was introduced December 5, 1907 and was bill WITHOUT THE LIM- ITATIONS WHICH CHARACTERIZE THE WICKERSHAM ORGANIC ACT. That bill was H. R. 4820. Two and one-half months later, February 20, 1908, Tom Gale intro duced another bill, and the Congres. oAOhul IeCSOiu SlOWo IL Wdo WTlItCU by James Wickersham, providing for a COMMISSION FORM OF GOV ERNMENT FOR ALASKA. This bill it was hoped, would side-track the one providing for complete Home Rule for Alaska and it did MT. Wickersham started early in the game to fight Home Rule for Alaska,
 and in that opposition, and in that alone, he has been consistent, sun dry camouflages to the contrary not withstanding.
 [ This Wickersham Commission Form of Government Bill provided for the affairs of Alaska to be run by a Governor and executive council of
 seven men, ALL TO BE NAMED
 BY THE PRESIDENT.
 Judge Wickersham was enjoying
 berth as an appointive officer at | that time and he undoubtedly hoped
 to keep on the payroll in the capac- ity of a member of the executive council.
 Judge Wickersham has never trust ed the people.

 The fishermen, like the other voters of Alaska know that the great problem in Alaska is that of self lf-government-democratc government. Alaska has democratic government because Judge Wickersham did democratic government people limited so that they would have no power they could for against themselves. They know that he wanted less for Alaska than any other Territory had, and that he said so. They know that he in specific his bill creating a Legislature for Alaska should provide that the Legislature would have power to interfere with the fisheries question.
