AUTONOMY.

By rights, says "StroIler" White in recent issue of his Douglas Island News, we should be running a two-column article written by Thomas B. Drayton, of Seward, Alaska, giving 57 reasons why Alas ka should be free from the des- potic rule of the United States. MT. Drayton says that the one so- lution of the trials and tribulationi of the Territory is autonomy" When we first looked at the word we thought he meant autopsy. We knew that Alaska was dead, but knowing full we'll what has killed it, we could not see the reason for an autopsy. We looked again and discovered this other word 'autono- my"
 We took old man Webster on our knee and ran down this word and found that it was really in the dictionary and that it meant self government. It would seem that the author of the learned article submitted to us is in favor of cut ting loose from our Uncle Sam en- tirely and letting us paddle our own canoe. He says that Alaska has been footed by the United States, and despairing of statehood, says, let's be the free and inde- pendent republic of Alaska, by gosh.
 Sounds nice, brother; but you forget one little thing: Alaskans are first of all Americans, and although they realize that they have been misused by their old Uncle, with all his faults they love him still.
 Guess we will worry along for a while yet under the folds of the old Stars and Stripes; do lots of kicking and maybe get better conditions, and maybe not, but still manage to exist and be just as happy as the rest of the world.

UNION FISH COMPANY :: :...
 OPENS NEW RADIO PLANT

A radio station for the use of the general public has just been opened at Pirate Cove, Alaska, by the Un- ion Fish company. Through the es- tablishment of this station, local connection is made possible with the neighboring communities, Unga and Sand Point.
 According to a message sent out by the Union Fish company, the radio station at Pirate Cove is open to the general public. Messages will be accepted without restriction for Unga and Sand Point, provided they are addressed via Pirate Cove.
 The establishment of this service will afford merchants at these points an opportunity of ordering neces- sary supplies by wireless instead of by letter, and so avoid weeks of de- fay before the order is even deliy- cred to the Seattle dealer.
 A radio station has been oper- ated for some time at Unga by the Alaska Goldfish company. but the lat ter has withheld the use of it's ra- dio service from all business which threatened to be competitive,

l of Ohio to utilize the ancient loiter- ing law against loafers The police have been instructed to watch the labor agencies. and when well-pay- ing positions are turned down to make inquiry into the status of the rejecting idlers. In one city the police judge sent to the workhouse in one day 12 men who refused to go to work when offered 60 cents an hour. The same thing took place in another large center of population.
 This has caused a protest to be made by organized labor councils, who affect to see in this, as they see in good many other events, an attempt ito impose slavery upon American citizens" Their main ob- Jectlon seems to be against com polling men to work at the price named, which is not the point at all.
 The truth is that the offenders will not work at any scale so long as they can sponge off their rela- tives or society. There is just as much need now for the maximum production of the country as there was during the carrying on of hos tilities, and there is no room for the deliberate shirker these busy days.

ALASKA INVESTORS.

There is always great deal oi joy in the average Northerner cry. ing "Seattleite" during the politi. cal contests, criticises the Seattle Alaska Dispatch. The cry Seattle ite" evidently originated from the old Southern cry of "carpetbagger," and has been very effective in Northern political campaigns. But what difference, points out the Se- attle critic, when it comes to "Se- attle investors. Now that the cleo tion is over in Alaska the Northern papers are before us. In a Diff and bat contest in the primary we find among the heaviest political shots the one "Seattleite. Incidentally, in the same issues of the Northern papers we find they point with pride" to the introduction of new Seattle capital to do this or that.
 In many instances the Alaska press is very liberal. In the matter of residing at Seattle the average Alaska editor is very crabby.
