YOU ARE WANTED TONIGHT

~ PORTSlEN of Cordova meet tonight to N form permanent organization for the >1 sane and adequate protection of wild game. All Alaska will applaud for it IS req lized generally that such laws must be en- forced, otherwise the Territory, now rich in this resource, will become poverty-stricken in a short while.
 The movement is backed by all true sports men. It is made necessary by the recklessness of the 'kllers,' who slaughter deer in winter, for example, on Hinchinbrook and Hawkins Is lands, when they are driven to the open beaches to feed.
 District Supervisor Mcdonald, of the local Forest Office, and Game Warden Hill are re ceiving public commendation for their activi- ties in promoting protective organization.

"sTRIKE-FOR OUR LIBERTIEs!"

Greatest of all prospects now before Alaska is the proposed commercial convention at Cor dova on July 8 for the purpose of forming an Alaska Chamber of Commerce to be affiliated with all similar organizations on the Outside.
 This need is fundamental Had 1t been fll- led ably years ago, there might have been none of the pestiferous long-distance treatment by nincompoop politicians and fanatlcal "con- servation'' by dervishes of the Pmchot stl1pe. There had been no denial of constitutional liberty, as at present, no outrageous refusal of funds for such primary needs as roads and cables, no niggardly Conservation" in the in- terest of outside trusts, no pennywlse-pound- foolish policy.
 Are the people of Alaska capable of self government?
 The time is coming soon for the answer to this question.
 It is high time for us to realize that Alaska s first need is George Washington's demand: ''Put none but Americans on guard!'
 The right Alaskan standpoint for studying every problem is that of Home Rule and tile good of the Nation. No man should be al lowed to wield power in our domestic affairs who does not live in the Territory, his stake being heart and home.
 Like the Filipinos, only more so, the Alas kans should demand independence. They should back the demand with aggressive and con- tinuous action and this can be done best (not by politicians) by the people of the Territory, acting through an Alaskan Chamber of Con- merce, representing the popular rights and best interests of every section
 The proposed great Chamber is not to be dominated bv any clique, nor ruled by pot politicians It must be, to succeed, an organl- zation representing and controlled directly by the best business men in Alaska. No person should be admitted, except as an "onerv'' member, who does not actually live in the Territory. impelled to protect his interests oi heart and home.
 Imbued with the American fighting spirit, that kind of Chamber can accomplish wonders While being strictly non-partisan, it can put the Tiny Tims of patronage politics where they belong. It can end forever the carpetbag government that is comparable only, in its outrageous inefficiency and injustice, to the reconstruction" period in the South after the Confederate War.
 On with the convention on the third of July! Out with the carpetbagger! Down with the hyphen!

George Washington commander-in-
