GEORGE B. GRIGSBY.

The foundation of democracies is that majorities rule The territorial democratic convention yesterday at Juneau nominated George B. Grigsby as candidate in the June election for delegate to congress to fill the vacancy left by the death of Chas. A. Sulzer, the majority of the delegates to that conven- tion casting their ballots for MT. Grigsby.
 The votes cast for the successful candi- date for nomination were instructed by the people, or rather the democrats of Alaska, as to how they should be voted. Under the ma to how they should be voted. Under the ma candidate and it is the duty of all members of the democratic party to support his candidacy later declined to try for the nomination.
 The Citizen supported Luther C. Hess for the nomination for the reason that it con- sidered him the best man for the position It knows MT. Hess better than it does Mr. Grigsby and it knows that MT. Hess would have made on excellent delegate. But the and vote for him at the election.
 The Citizen is convinced that the nominee of the democratic party is qualified in every respect to fill the position of delegate for Alaska He has been territorial attorney gen. eral for more than two years and has given SdllS1dCllOlI A1AS dOIllty iS SSSOliu tO liOIiC and long residence in the north has made him familiar with the needs of the country
 Those who know him best say that he is faithful to his clients, loyal to his friends and hard and earnest worker. If he goes to congress as Alaska's delegate these quail ties will enable him to render valuable ser vices to the territory.
 His challenge to James Wickersham to enter the primaries and forget about his con- test for dead mans seat indicates that he is a believer in sportsmanlike play. It shows that he does not fear contest with Wicker sham at the polls. He is willing to let the people of Alaska say which one shall repre- sent them in Washington. If Wickersham wants to be as square he will accept the chal- lenge in the spirit it is given. And The Citi zen assures MT. Grigsby that it will support him to the best of its ability.

SPECIAL. ELECTION LAW

The special election law which was pass led by the territorial legislature last Saturday is evidently strictly non-partisan measure. The unanimous vote which it received in both houses is ample proof of this fact.
 It is designed, to fit the needs of Alaska at the present time. It enables Alaskans to participate in choosing delegate to congress in time for him to attend the coming extra session of that body. Under the provisions of former acts had the delegate been elected so that Alaska would be able to be represented at the extra session, it would have been i'm possible for the people in the outlying districts to have voted, but by allowing telegraphic mo- tices and returns, few if any will not be able to vote within 30 days from the time a special election shall be called.
 The new act removes the one serious ob- jection to holding an election early in June, as it has been announced it will be. To have held such an election under the old law would have practically disfranchised many Alas kans The legislature is to be commended for its prompt action in the matter.
 The urgency of the case required such promptitude It is highly important that AL aska have representative in Washington at the extra session of congress There are many measures of importance to Alaska which must come up at that time. One of the most pressing is the railroad appropriation and it will require the attention of an able man there to help in getting this thru. Un- der ordinary circumstances it would have been wiser to have held an election later in the sum- mer but owing to the non-passage of many measures by the last congress, and the early converting of the extra session, to postpone the election longer than is absolutely neces- sary would be to neglect vital interests whicl, might do untold damage to the entire terri tory.

The establishment of a quarantine sta tion which to be effective must be located at point distant from populated areas, en- tails considerable expense. The only source of contagion at this time is the coast and the Valdez trail the only avenue from the source By establishing quarantine station at some point on this trail, not only is Fairbanks pro- tected but Nenana, and all the outlying set dement's receive the same protection.
 Governor Riggs, in advising the local health authorities of the renewed epidemic at Cordova, also stated that any quarantine ex- penses must be borne by the community as the territory had not funds for this purpose. Neither has Fairbanks. And Fairbanks does not feel that it is called upon to bear the whole expense incident to such a quarantine To do SO would run the town into debt enor- mously. It has not the facilities for securing funds which the territory possesses If it were possible to do so, the people of this camp would be delighted to pay for protection to the entire interior but since they can't do it, they look to the territory to furnish such protec- tion.
 The legislature is in session. It has the authority to set aside money for the protec- tion of public health and it is the duty of the territorial administration to see that it is done. Up to the present time the interior has escaped the flu by enforcing rigid health reg ulations and no one wants to see an epidemic now when it can be avoided by the judicious expenditure of a small sum.
 The action of the city council in putting this matter up to the representatives from this division at Juneau is we'll timed. The council should have the support of the entire com munity in the matter

A GOOD CREED.

The Dawson Daily News gives the tol- lowing as Dawson's creed: "I believe 1n Dawson. believe in Dawson sold goods, and 1 buy them Because my interests are here; can get more and better values; the commit nity which is good enough for me to live in is good enough for me to buy in; want to do business with my friends; l want to see the goods; want to get what l buy when l buy it; my dealer carries me when 1 run short and out-of-town dealers won't; every dollar l spend stays at home and makes more money for the community in which 1 live the man buy goods from stands back of his goods and he lives here in Dawson; if the money spend is made ill Dawson I feel that my first duty is to Dawson; if I sell my goods here should buy them here; the man buy from pays his part of the city taxes; the man buy from in Dawson help support my schools, my church, my lodge, my city and my home; should bad luck come or misfortune or bereavement overtake me, the man l buy from in Dawson is here with his kindly greetings, his words ot cheer, and with his pocketbook if need be; every dollar spend in Dawson gives me an- c:iler cka..-c at that dollar.
 Here is my pledge. Here 1 live and here I buy. believe in Dawson. l believe :.. her people. buy in the town believe in. v
 if every citizen in any community adopts and follows the above creed that community i, bound to be prosperous It will abolish factions and establish in its stead content ment Live at home and buy in the same place IS good system to follow.
 Tn Fairbanks there is nothing to prevent a procedure of this kind. The stores are here. Is there anything needed that can't be secured from the local dealers? Or that they won't get for you better than you can do it for yourself? Money sent to outside com mun;ties is just that much money lost. It never comes back. New money must take its place or our working capital as a community decreases.
 When you put dollar into circulation in yo,:r home town sooner or later, generally sooner, at least part of it finds it way back to you thru the regular channels of trade. When you scend it to a mail order house you have seen the last of it. Keep your dollars at home and let them work for you and the good of the camp instead of sending them outside and have them work for strangers Take for your own creed, "Here live and here buy. "

 But political hatred and sectional feeing killed it. The school is dead now and will be for two years at least, and may be longer. It is chargeable to the Alaska legislature.

THE UNSUNG DEAD.

Blessed are the dead who pass away wor- thily, for they shall receive absolution. But what will be said of that which expires un- worthily? Its sins be on its own head.
 Of the last class must be the Alaska leg islature which died Friday at noon and which is more to be execrated than mourned. Com ing with murmur of politics, pausing a while with political noise ever increasing, and passing on without ever accomplishing any thing worth while. either political or for the benefit of the territory.
 Of bills for the general interest to the territory only two were passed-the shipping bill and the road appropriation. The last named had to be enacted for self-protection to the r.-.nbers, who realized that if they ex- pectcd to return home and remain healthy they had better bring some road money with item.
 Of the 8-hour legislation the less said the better for those concerned. Two Alaska 'egislatures have met since the people of Alaska expressed themselves overwhelmingly in favor of an 8-hour law As it stands today there isn't single line of new legislation on the subject. If the men who went to Juneau to pass such bill can't do so with the data which is at hand, they needn't expect to come and pass the buck
 The failure of the college appropriation bill IS an object of shame to those members who were too shortsighted, too wrapped up in immediate profit, who couldn't see beyond the confines of the district from which they were elected. The completion of the Alaska Agri- cultural College and School of Mines is a simple business proposition. More than $60,- GOO has been expended on it to date There isn't cent left to even take care of the building already constructed; to prevent de- preciation of valuable property Nothing is left but to board up the premises and leave it to go unprotected from the ravages of time and weather for two more years
 A few thousands of dollars appropriated at this time would have enabled the board of regents to complete the buildings and open the school in small way. It would have en- abled the territory to get $50,OOO year from the federal government for educational pur- poses which cannot be acquired in any other
