That Congress thereafter passed an act entitled "An act to authorize the payment of cer- tain salaries or compensation to Federal officials and employees by the Treasurer of the Terri tory of Alaska" which was ap- proved by the President of the United States on February IS, 1929, whereby various salaries and compensation so held by the said court to be invalid and void were validated and ordered to be paid; but, we'll recognizing the evil in said matters, the said act of Congress concluded with a warning to the said Federal officials in Alaska and to the Territorial legislature not to continue said evil and unlawful practices; h a reference is hereby made to said act of Cn1aore and rnfarnnnn ic olco

eternal conflict between an e]e- ment of citizenship that would preserve and make effective those ideals of free government expressed by Congress in their enabling acts and another ele- ment that insisted upon exalt- ation of the officials appointed by the Federal Government to administer Federal affairs but not Territorial affairs. There was a minority element in Co., lonial America that did not be- lieve in the theory that govern mentS should derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, as evidenced by the departure from our shores by the so-called Loyalist element. And so to-day we have a small minority in the northern Terri tory that upholds and eXalts bu- reaucracy in it's symbolism of the divine right of kings. This minority element in Alaska, as 1 presume it did in pre-ReVOlu- tionary days in the American Colonies, represents a class of citizens that is usually fearful of the people. This class may always be depended upon to up- hold the theories of a Mussolinl, even though his theories of gov- ernment are as remote from the American ideal as are the poles. They are afraid of popu- lar government largely for the reason that their little class can not rule, and in Alaska this lit tie class has the influence to prevent legislators from exercis- ing the rights of autonomy granted in comparatively small degree by Congress.

 l. That by the act of Con- gress OI August 24, 1912, entitled An act to create a Legislative Assembly in the Territory of Alaska, to confer legislative powers thereon, and for other purposes, 37 Statutes at Large, page 512, the people of Alaska were organized into a Territory and given power to create an American Territorial form Of government therein, based on the principles of the ConStitu- ton Of the United States, after the type heretofore organized in the Territories of tie West which gave their people a full Territorial form of government and fitted such Territories to later form and adopt State con- stitutions and be admitted into the Union.
 That it was the purpose of Congress in passing the organic act of August 24, 1912 aforesaid said. to give the people of Alas ka an equal opportunity With other American territories.
 2. That notwithstanding the power and authority thus given to the people of Alaska, their Territorial legislature, from session to session has given the power of government and the control of the Territorial affairs into the hands of the governor and other Federal officials, whereby the present Territorial government is not i'll any sense responsible to the people of Alaska, and has become and now is a Federal bureaucratic government, With the appoint ed governor, the secretary of the Territory, other Federal of fcials, and Territorial appoint i've boards, filled by appoint ment by these Federal officials, in full charge, while citizens, electors, and taxpayers of Alas ka are practically excluded from any participation in the management of their Territorial affairs.

one of those sunset skies which live ever in
the hearts of rowing men who have spent
a hallowed June on the heights of that broad,

their race against the gentlemen Of Shelburne,
having rowed just bit worse than their rivals.
And now the two crews were celebrating their

VISITS TO TOMB
Temporary Discontinuance
of Cures Ordered.

BIZ United Press
MAIDEN, Mass, Nov. 25.-Tn ac-
cordance with the wishes of Will
liam, Cardinal O'Connell, arch
bishop of Boston. pilgrimages to the
grave of the Rev. Patrick j. Power
in Holy Cross cemetery here were
discontinued temporarily today and
the graveyard was deserted except
for workmen.
AS suddenly as It began almost a
month ago, the procession to the
priests tomb halted Sunday at mid
night.
More than million persons have
visited the cemetery in the COM
paratively short period and several
hundred "cures" have been reported.
Church authorities will now in
vestigate all the reported cures to
determine their validity. If there
are signs of divine intervention, it
is expected the tomb of Father
Power eventually may become a
shrine.
Although Cardinal O'Connell had
desired cessation of the pilgrimages
several days ago, approximately
10000 persons visited the grave OF
Father Power Sunday.
Anna Bellard, "a. Of Adams
claimed she walked and talked Sun
