THE COUNTRY GIRLS
FEAT N MUSIC

Miss Gail Grabiel, a pretty country
maid of West Mansfield, Ohio, has
proved that women are just rs cap
able of writing successful songs as
men. Not long ago she decided that
she would write song that would
set the nation humming. Friends
warned her that she would gain Moth
ing. as prejudiced publishers never
gave an unknown song writer. much
less q woman, q hearing. However.
Miss Gail was obstinate-she would
try for herself. She was so confident
of her success that she Journayed TO
New York city to interview. the kings
of Tin Pan alley.
Her faith in the ability of her own
sex led her to get y woman writer for
the melody. After two weeks
search for a. woman composer she
found one in Miss Muriel Pollock.
With the song finished, Miss Grabiel
started out to md a publisher.
Strange as 1t may seem. the first one
to whom che submitted it recognized
it's value and Immediately accepted
1t. And today Miss Grabiers ballad.
There's A Song in Your Eyes" is
considered to be one of the best high
class ballads written in years and a
worthy successor to Victor Herbert'
Kiss Me Again"
after ALL" Miss Grabiel said while
commenting on her experience, III
you have something that the public
likes and you 60 about getting a
market for it in the proper way, You
are bound to succeed"
Incidently. Miss Grabiel will soon
need a Secretary to keep track of her
royalties.

NOT AN ARGUMENT AGAINST SELF GOVERNMENT

Sutherland discussing Senator Britts full Territorial form of government memorial depricated the circumstance that the memorial said that there communities in Alaska that 2,500 miles apart, and said it would suggest arguments to Congress against granting full Territorial form of govcrn- was the distance would have to travel between the communities and not air line.
 The Empire does not believe the wide distribution Of Alaskas population is suggestive of an argument against full Territorial form of government and does believe Congressmen will consider it. It might be argument for the division of Alaska into two Territories, but against self-gov- ernment for Americans.
 Likewise the suggestion that Alaska is not prepared for the introduction of a county government system might be argument for the division of the Terri tory, it be to refuse to allow the people of certain sections of Alaska to govern themselves If it should discovered that it would be impracticable to work out a system of taxation that would permit those sections of the Territory that are prepared for it to manage their own local affairs without interference from the Federal Govern

If Alaska is to be governed without counties or other local government organizations the Territory should be cut up. It is absurd to think of a single organization in a country large as is Alaska to manage the local affairs of all sections of the Ter ritory. If not to have counties Southeastern Alaska is not too small for Territorial government.
