PEOPLE SHOULD RULE

 The situation in Alaska could not be more clear stated than was done by Frederic R. Coudert in speech at a public meeting in Seward The Sewa Gateway's account of the meeting contains the ft lowing:
 What Alaska needs is liberty and trans portation,' said Mir. Coudert. "I have lis tened to your talks here tonight, all eluci- dating talks You people, you hardy pros pectors, old timers, you real boosters and permanent residents, you have been throt- tied and what you need now is a chance to govern yourselves, to handle your own resources. But the pendulum always swings both ways and while conservation has been the for your near ruin the pendulum will swing back and normal conditions will be attained
 "I am making my first trip to Alaska. 1 thrilled with the glories of the land thrilled with everything l have seen and day Alaska, the last great frontier will into her own, you will come into your and you and your land will prove your greatness.
 Give Alaska full Territorial form of gover ment, two through line railroads and 5 OOO, 900 a year for wagon roads, and she will pro her greatness.

Alaska's Debt To Her Newspapers

(Vadez Miner)
 Alaskan papers were hit hard by the war For he first time in history of the Territory higher wages were paid printers Outside than in Alaskan offices This caused exodus of printers. Paper tocks went up tremendously Freight charges in reased to almost proh1bltlve 1lgure Desplte hese facts but few papers in the Territory were breed to suspend. Nearly every paper maintained ts high standard and gave its readers all the news ,btainable many times at loss to the publisher Alaskan papers compare favorably with those Out ide Towns of 500 people in the Territory have )etter papers than cities of 5000 Outside Outfts re better and better class of work is done to the newspapers the Territory Alaskans owe more than hey can repay. They have labored increasingly stem the tide of emigration. They have boosted lay and night for localities in many instances not worth boosting for when the patronage they received considered Their reward is not yet but soon. With another year Alaska will come into her own gain. Mining will be resumed, the big run of fish due, and business will be better than ever. But the papers of the Territory who have fought the fight is due the credit. Every paper sent Outside las brought returns tenfold.

A GLIMMER OF HOPE

There is glimmer of hope in the circustanc that Union Labor and the financial institutions leaders of Mexico City have united in demandn; that the Mexican Government differen attitude toward the United States. Organized labo and those in charge of industry and finance at tn Mexican capital know that the United States has n sinister designs Mexico, and that the hope o prosperity south of the Rio Grande lies in tn restoration of friendly intercourse with the Ameri nation and people They understand, too, tha this intercourse cannot be established unless tn Mexican Government invites the cooperation of tn United States, for it has become recognized fac that Carranza cannot maintain law and order ex cept in the populous section of the country the Federal district and adjoining States, and h. does always do so there.
 With the moral and cooperating support of tn United States il is possible that bandit robbery am murder could be suppressed the border States ans those farther south, for, matter what their sen timent may be, all Mexicans have wholesome re spect for Americans. for their prowess and whethe they admit it not. for their sense of justice fair play and mercy

MORE HOPE FOR ALASKA

The Alaska provisions in the coal and oil land leasing bill which passed the Senate and IS nov pending in the House said to be the same a those contained in the bill which passed the Hous in 1918 as a substitute for the Senate bill of Una year. The House Committee Public Lands spen several months holding hearings on the measure There were meetings twice day for several weeK Several sessions of two hours each were given hearing those interested in the Alaska provisions As the bill passed the Senate in January, l9le Alaska was excepted from the provisions of tn measure The House committee finally agreed { permit the bill to cover the coal and oil lands o Alaska and adopted without amendment the flask provisions by Delegate Sulzer and as pre- pared by him and other Alaskans.
 The Conference committee did not agree on tn measure amended by the House and the who matter reopened. This year the Senate ac cepted the Alaska provisions as agreed upon b. the House last year. and they were in tn bill which recently passed the Senate after Senate La Toilette had held it up for sometime.
 .Advices from Washington that the bill vii probably pass the House at an early date. and form that will be fairly satisfactory to Alaskan If it does, the prediction is freely made that we ma look forward to considerable oil and coal develop ment in this Territory at an early date
