 STATEMENT OF DR. PARKER

Alaskans familiar with conditions in the Mt Mckinley district say it is impossible that Mt. Mckinley could have settled 800 feet or any other considerable amount. A con- vulsion such as that would imply would have consequences that would have been a matter of general in formation, they say
 "If Mt Mckinley had settled 500 feet, said George A. Parkes, Chief of the Field Division of the United States General Land Office, there would be no necessity for the Alas ka railroad. Cook Inlet would have been extended so far into the In- terior that boats could be sailed to central Alaska"

mother country, because the act is
strongly condmned by a strong major
ity of the people. For a man, belong
ing to the mother country to kill an
insurrectionist in the act of promot-
ing the insurrection ia no crime at all
to the people of that country, but on
the other hand, a heroic deed, because
the act has the sanction of th people
and it is not done for any selfish pur-
pose. Here we see an act may be
capital crime in one faction, while in
the other faction, the same act may
be a heroic deed. 1t all depends OIL
thte approval or disapproval by tho
majority and he selfishness or un-
selfishness of he act.
The all-important factor in deter
mining whether an act is crime or
not, and also how serious the crime
may be, is the opinion of the people,
and for that reason, the people must
hav ample opportunity to express
themselves. There must be freedom
OF speech and prss, and also ready
and convenient machinery at hand by
which the people may quickly, cheap
ly and expeditiously express themsel-
YES by means of the ballot.
