Government In Alaska-Bureaucrat or
 American-Which?


 government composed of Federal officials, appointed by the Depart. ments in Washington, D. G., or one composed of Alaskan officials elect ed by the people of Alaska, and di rectly responsible to and controlled by the people of Alaska? There can be but one answer to this question, for the people of Alaska are filled with love of liberty, and firmly be- lieve in the American system of gov ernment
 THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE IN
 ALASKA
 In 1906 Congress authorized the people of Alaska to elect Dele gate to Congress to represent them in that body, with all the rights and Powers which Delegates from form CT Territories, now States, possess ed during their days of Territory pupilage.
 Or August "A, 1912. Congress passed the Organic Act creating an elective Territorial Legislature in Alaska, and giving it ample power to legislate for free American citi- zens in Alaska, in the formation Of an American form of government in this Territory
 That Organic Act provides:
 '"That the Constitution of the United States, and all the laws thereof which are not locally inap- plicable, shall have the same force and effect within the said Territory as elsewhere in the United States" That clause promises Statehood to this Territory when it's growth in population and material resources shall justify that action, and when it's people shall demonstrate by their creation of government that they are worthy to be trusted with that responsibility-and not before that time.
 That Organic Act also provides:
 "That the legislative power and authority of said Territory shall be

vested In legislature, which snail consist of a Senate and House of Representatives"
 That Organic Act also provides:
 '"That the first election of mem bers of the legislature of Alaska shall be held on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November 1912. and all subsequent elections for the election of such members shall be held on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November biennially thereafter"
 That Organic Act further pro. vides:
 THE LEGISLATIVE POWER OF THE TERRITORY SHALL EXTEND TO ALL RIGHTFUL SUBJECTS OF LEGISLATION NOT INCONSIST- ENT WITH THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES"
 And, finally, the Organic Act of 1912 contains the general outline for the organization of an American Territorial form of self-government. such as all other American Terri tories had in their day, and by the exercise of the powers of which the people builded them up from Territories into sovereign states in the American Union. Alaska has the same machinery for creating an American government leading from the Territorial form to State hood that all the western Territor- ies used in building the great States of the West There is not a single limitation upon the power of the people of Alaska to form an Ameri. can plan of government in this Ter ritory, which is not equally in force in every other State in that Union. The people of Alaska are fully auth orized by the Organic Act of 1912 to create in this Territory that form of self-government which Thomas Jefferson, the Father of Democrary," assisted to create in the western country in his day. ana

 THE POWER OF FEDERAL
 BUREAUS IN ALASKA
 When the first elected legislature gathered at Juneau in 1913, it's in experienced members were welcom- ed at the wharves by the appoint i've officials of more than twenty Federal Bureaus, and the usual group of "glad-to-meet-you" attor- neys and lobbyists for the non-pub- lie interests engaged in exploiting Alaska. This combination of skill ed Federal bureaucratic officials and their inseparable hangers-on, led by the appointed Federal gov ernOr and secretary, soon convinced the elected representatives of the people of Alaska, that their one object in life was to assist them and the dear people to create a simple and inexpensive form of self-gov- ernment for the Territory; that the most simple and least form was to accept the use of the machinery al ready organized by the Federal Of ficials and put the present burdens of Territorial Government upon the shoulders of the Appointed Federal Governor and Secretary of the Ter ritory and permit them to carry the load until the Territory was in better shape to assume the weight. It was suggested that the Territori- al Legislature could also create a. few Bureaus after the Federal type, and place the duty of apoint-4 ing their members upon the Federal Governor and Secretary, with over- sight and control of their work This all seemed, and was, So easy of: accomplishment, and So in accord with the cooperating Federal ap-. pointive bureaucratic plan that thei scheme was adopted, for thea time being,-and is in effect, with greater strength and danger today!

BREAKWATER WILL

 THE SAN JUAN PLANT
WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO ACCOM- MODATE ALL SMALL BOATS
 ENTERING THIS PORT

The breakwater to be built under the direction of Col J. c. Steese next year will be located just north of the San Juan cold storage plant, accord ing to Colonel Steese. The site se- lected will be far enough north to es- cape the winds blowing down from the inland to give partial shelter from inshore gales, due to a projection of the shoreline into the bay It's dimen- sions will be sufficient to accommo- date all of the small shipping entering the harbor and have a depth of 12 1-2 feet at low tide.
 According ito the present plans dolphine will be set and track con- nected with the Alaska railroad run out from the shore on which stone will be hauled and dumped.
 It is estimated that the initial cost will be s17O,OOO after which it will be the purpose of the engineers to se- cure appropriations to dredge the ba- sin to give greater depth At the present time the greatest depth of draught of any boat requiring shelter is nine feet
 Like the improvement of Lowell creek, the improvement will be main tained at the expense of the Federal government with no cost to Seward.

YANKEE STADIUM, N.

Maloney was down twice in the fifth the referee awarded the decision to Sharkey on a technical knockout. The same punch dropped Maloney in the fourth for no count.
 While a pop-eyed crowd of 3OO00 looked on in astonishment, Sharkey ended the fight with slashing right handed assault, which left the beaten man a gory and battered figure. Ma loney was bleeding from his left eye, nose and mouth and plunged to the floor from a vicious succession of right-handers to the head.

GENEVA Switzerland, Sept N9-
Interest in Geneva today was divided
between scatling attacks made by
eminent delegates of the smaller ma
tions against the policy of secrecy of
the council Of the league of nations,
and also the tendency of the big pow
ers to settle vital problems among
themselves and Poland's attempt to
put before the assembly declara-
ton outlawing war that really meant
something.
Norway and Lithuania joined Swed-

Gil adopt less passive attitude in

the applause and later comments of
the mixed public galleries are to be
taken as a criterion, the general re-
action to this is that the criticism
heard in the past few days will serve
