ABOUT SELF-GOVERNMENT.

local supporter of the Controller Bill ad- mits that the bill does not really propose self government for Alaska He contended that we missed the real chance to get that in 1912 when the Wickersham limited Territorial government bill was passed He said we ought then to have got full Territorial form of government He then declared that Judge Wickersham had let ters showing that the editor of The Empire favored his measure
 This matter has been explained so often that the people understand it, or ought to. The editor of The Empire and others endorsed inc Wlckersham Bill, after he had made many changes In it, giving the people more power than he had at first proposed upon his declaration that it was the best he could get and that it was only in tended as first step. toward self-government
 However, before the first Legislature had con- vened, President Taft, who had signed the Wick ersham Bill, asked Congress to give the Territory a full Territorial form of government" such as the other Territories had In 1913. a year later President Wilson repeated the request ooF. waiter E Clark had asked for it in his iSlz report Gov Strong urged it in his first report.
 The Empire frequently asked Delegate Wick ersham to take the next step by acting on the Presidential endorsements of full Territorial form of government. He did not do it. and that was the reason that The Empire in 1914 refused to support Delegate Wickersham for fourth term. It was all explained time after time then and afterward
 MT Sutherland says Judge wiekersbam thought the Territory was not ready for county governments That is not what Judge Wicker sham said at that time. He said he could not get a full Territorial form of government. If IS true that he said in 915 that county goyern ments would ruin the Territory, but he at that

Prohibition and Health.
(New York World ]


 President Samuel W. Lambert of the New York Academy of Medicine in his protest against the Governments "exasperating and inquisitorial'' interference with alcoholic prescriptions did not use one of the most effective arguments The medical profession has really double grievance against prohibition.
 This inquisitorial interference is all in the name of effective enforcement. Yet in other directions the enforcement is so deliberately in effective that the medical profession finds pro- hlb1tlon dumping upon it tremendous increase in alcoholism. This increase is not a mere matter of allegation. It has been demonstrated with an impressive volume of proof by dozen authorities. We have last years report of Dr. Louis L. Dublin, statistiean of the Metropolitan Llfe on death rate from alcoholism trebled be- tween 1920 and 1926 in California and Penn sylvania, and quadrupled in Illinois, the studies of our State Health Commissioner Dr. Matthias Nieol who points cut that the increase affects rural as well as industrial States articles from prominent medical teachers; and most striking or all, the figures of Chief Medical Examiner Nor. rls of this city, who has found the mortality from alcoholism larger than that from vehcular accidents and gas poisoning combined
 The same enforcement" which cuts down prescription alcohol, carefully administered by the medical profession throws upon the pro fession the burden of meeting increased disease rom poor and poisoned alcohol

There Are No Canadians :,

 From a survey of the Canadian press in re- cent months we should say that the one uues- ton upon which there is diversity of opinon IS thls matter of forbiddng Canadians to describe themselves as Canadians in the filling of official declarations in which information as to racial oflgin IS required. It is not only in connection With the decennal taking of the census that canadians are told by officials-yery often in a cheeky manner-that they must not so describe themselves. Our provincial governments are as cupaDle as the Dominion Government in enforc- ing this prohibition in the compilation of vital statistics. A proud father filling out A birtb ceTllhcate Is confronted with the task of setting out what race' his child belongs to- the word canadian having been barred by the bureau crats.
