GOVERNMENT.

AS The Empire has 4sad the cost of full Terri toral form of government need be no greater than the form of government now have in Alaska IL could be made much less costly if desired to make it so This statement is amply justified by the h1s- tory of Washington Territory.
 Washington Territory was established with full Territorial form of government in 1853 In 1855 her population according to the Assessors census was 1900. In 1860 under the Federal census she had Il 900 people 1870 there 23,OO0 and in 1SSt her population 75,000. Many counties in the Territory had only few hundred people in that time Claam County, for instance, had 149 popula- tion 374 in 1870 and in 1880 it was b38 At time this county the tax levy greater than two per cent, and when Washington Territory became State in 1889 the county had no bonded debt at the oldest floating debt less than months outstanding In 1880 the total amount O. Territorial funds raised by direct taxation less than $70, 900 for the entire Territory. There were special license taxes, except for liquor dealers such impose in Alaska, and there were no taxes industries such Alaska imposes on the fisheries and mining. There such industries. The liquor licenses cost $150 of which 10 per cent to the Territory and the rest to the County This was later raised to $500 year.

Gov. Smiths Magnificent Run.
(NeW York Evening Post.


 No Governor in any State received such tribute Gov. Smith given by New York voters yesterday. There be doubt that if the State election had been held different day than the national elections he would have been triumphantly returned. In New York City he ran ahead of his ticket by than three charters million votes and upstate by almost if not quite another quarter million This reversal of million more votes in one State is unique achievement in American poIi- tics It means not merely that of thousands of independents and scores of thousands of Demo- orats who voted for Harding also cast votes for Smith. It means that of thousands of Re- publicans forsook their party allegiance to support the Governor
 In part Gov. Smiths remarkable achievement is traceable to his personality His courage his honesty his frank democracy his winning manners have won Wider and wider circles he has advanced from an obscure place in the Legislature present posi- tion He showed his power campaigner wherever he went In part the achievement is due to his po- lltlcal generalship. But justified in believing that in the main it is due simply to his record He has stood for of policies in legislation and ad mlnistration which progressive e-minded and thought tul voters approve. His record in office been one or unblemished integrity, industry efficiency, and shrewdness. He served the people well and they wished to give him the reward he had richly earned

With no offense meant to our Dry friends and with the Nation just ach- ing for prohibition, we wonder just what happened to the Prohibition candidate for President in the recent election. Isn't it strange that a nation that could ratify prohibition amendment couldn't raise a few votes for the Prohibition standard bearer?
