If he seemed anything to Manners

Ordinarily Manners would have

tired. the waiting had put his
nerves on edge. and the manner of
his meeting with the woman whom
he loved with all his tender heart
had been very disappointing-that
and the photograph and everything
took from him his usual power Of

xfft frame that previously Diana
had always kept on her dressing

she turns my picture out"
But he had gone at once to see
sf she had not substituted another
photograph of him which no knew

he had felt chiidishiy hurt.

again, went close to II. and spoke

before those countries became self governing? If Alaskans are to amount
 to anything they, too, must have self government.
 But that is not all of it by any
 means. Alaska can get sane and con- potent government only through self government. People must live with a country to become sufficiently ac- quainted with it's conditions and | needs to act as lawmakers, governors
 and administrators. c. K. Chester ton, the great English humorist, who arrived in the United States re- gently said ahe had come here, "to | lose my impressions of America" When the laws and regulations for a country are made by those who have
 never seen it they are made by peo- pie who have erroneous impressions | When they are made by those who
 occasionally visit it they are made by
 men with Impressions" rather than l intimate knowledge. 1 There are no people in the world 1 so anxious to make the game beasts,
 birds and fish of Alaska serve use
 full purposes as are the people Of Alaska. Those who live here are
 most interested in a sane and cap- sonable game laws. No people would 1 lose as much as the people of this territory if the game of the territory were exterminated. None would lose
 so much if the game were unneces-
 sarily depleted
 We have found in the various ing more numerous each year. That is because the people of the states
 are making and controlling their own
 laws. People are much more inter-
 ested in and have much more respect i for laws that they make themselves
 than they have for laws which are
 made for them. That is human na- ture, and it has been demonstrated
 time after time.

 measure Of self-government. Local
 control of the game of the territory
 is among the prerogatives that go

LET ALASKA CONTROL

The Empire believes the legislature will do we'll for Alaska if it will em- phatically endorse the stand of the Alaska Fish and Game Club for the control of Alaska by Alaskans in Alaska. If we are to develop a self reliant and responsible citizenry in Alaska the people of this territory must bear the responsibilities of self government. People who are gov. erned from without, people who get favors by begging for them, never cut much figure in the world. Of what importance in the world are the
 British subjects in Hongkoug or Jamaica, for instance? Of what i'm portance were the Canadians, the
 Australians and the South Africans
