STATE RIGHTS AND ALASKA


The discussion of Gov. Lowden's speech on the need greater exercise of by State and the various forms municipal government in the United States naturally causes ones mind to turn to the situation in Alaska. The difficulty of applying his suggestions here lies in the circumstance that the people of tEis Territory have the power to de- yeop their government and to settle their local prob lens They will have to get that before they can assume the duties that theirs of right. We need full Territorial form of government so that the peo- pie take up and settle questions that have re- mained unsettled for years. The difference between Alaska and the country in general is that the people of this Territory want the power to do things they cannot while in the States they refuse to exercise powers that they have. In both cases the result has been develop tendency the part of the people to go to Washington other outside authority for help when they ought to shoulder the responsi- bty themselves The dangers many: First, things are not nearly so likely to be settled right as they in the old days when the people acted for themselves and, secondly the people are becom ing resolute and self-reiant. Fifty years ago American people, situated as Alaska is, would have but first request to make of the National Government and that would be for self-government, and the request would have been made again and again until it granted.

The tribute could be extended to take in practically all of the churches that have been en- gagged in Alaska work. Bishop Crimont mission ary Priest Prefect Apostolic and Bishop and his pre- decessors with the orders of their church, their hos pitals and missions have done in Alaska the sort of work that has made the Jesuits famous on the Amer ican frontier since the days of Marquette Bishop Rowe and his able corps of ministers, teachers and nurses, with their schools and hospitals have done service that has earned for them and their church tho gratitude of all who interested in Alaska.

WOMEN IN THE
WORLD OF SPORT
Views Of Mrs. "Ad." Toppcrwein,
One of the Noted Shots Of
the Country.

There is no reason in the world why
women can lot shoot as well "a men folks,
writes Mrs "Ad" Topperwein, greatest
woman shot Of the present dny.
Why most women have natural
horror for firearms is perhaps for the same
reason that most of them are afraid Of
bugs and mice Why il should be so is a
mystery, but il e a fact never the less.
Perhaps it's because most women are
timid, or perhaps IL 9 Just habit. However,
contact with things and association make
many changes IN one 8 character and dis
position For instance. I have seen women
in circuses handle snakes and mice and
rats without the least fear, and where
live (San Antonio, Tex, most women are
80 accustomed tn see firearms about the
house that they look upon them as neees-
sary pieces OF household furniture.
The love for shooting can be cultivated
just as easy as the desire TO play golf or
tennis
Every woman should learn 10 shoot
some kind of firearms. II gives confidence
and the satisfaction 60 know that YOU can
If necessary defend yourself
How often has il happened in your own
case when YOU were Obliged to be alone at
night IN some strange place, that you
fbtHfH anu tHitfd Hi Aftt dttfA RttftA
windows, and fretted all through the
night1 What wonderful relief II would
have been Il you had a gun or pistol with
you, knowing that you could Use IT If
necessary.
Not only should a woman learn To
handle firearms for self protection but
shooting IL tho greatest Of all sports and
healthful because IL takes YOU out doors,
and brings you close to nature.
There is also wonderful lot of salts
faction in knowing that you can do some
thing besides knitting, that you can play
what is known aH a mans game
A gun club Is the proper place for you
to shoot and Il is perfectly proper for YOU
to be there withou, your brother or hus-
hand, If you have any, as You will always
find plenty of courteous gentlemen most
willing 10 help you learn the sport
alluring."
