STILL EXPERIMENTING

Some of the administra- tion's policies have proved unsuccessful. Others have been a boon. As a nation we are still in a period ot experimentation. Too few of us realize that whatever befalls the present admin istration in the general cleo tion next fall, the people and their government will continue to live in a period of experiment. Nothing is settled.
 Whether one is for or against the policies of the administration, the fact re- mains that MT. Roosevelt is one of the most popular of all our presidents.-(Chat- tanooga Times.)

(Ketchikan Chronicle)

 Democratic government hinges on giving the people voice in their government. Though we are not strictly democratic as a nation, we approach it. One of the means we do this is by pro- portional representation: that is, the houses of repre- sentatives for the nation and in the respective states are named by population districts, not by geographi- cal districts. Thus, New York has more representa- tives in congress than does San Francisco. Ohio has

DEFEATING ROOSEVELT!

Eleven months from now, when the American people go to the polls to elect a President, they will pay at least as much attention to the character and reputa- tion and personal attrac- tiveness of the republican and democratic nominees as to the policies which those nominees are pledg- ed to carry out.
 The republicans will doom themselves to defeat if they get the idea that be- cause MT. Roosevelt's poli- cieS are slipping they can win, whenever they nomi- nate.
 Their hope for victory lies in presenting to the country a nominee who will appeal strongly to it, as well as a program that will appeal to it more stro- ngly than Mir. RooseVelt's policies do.-(Detroit Free Press.

more than Nevada, and SC on.
 It is true that our Senates the upper houses-are still named on the basis o1
 geographical lines. Thus
 New York has no more sen.
 ators than does Nevada. Sc
 it is in state legislatures
 And in large measure this
 condition accounts for the demands for unicameral legislatures which do away with the upper house or senate.
 Now in Alaska, all this system is of small use, for we do not have it. Since our legislature was organ ized-and we were glad to get anything then, for we had hardly the smallest measure of self-govern- ment-we have had two houseS,a a senate and a house but both have been elected on the basis of geographi- cal lines, not of population.
 Thus, the First Division has four representatives and two senator's in the leg islature. The Second divi- sion, with only half as many people as the First division, has exactly the same representation in our legislature. That is not in accord with democratic principles, nor is it even in strict accord with custom in the states.
 But the politicians have been inclined to speak soft ly as to bringing about a change. A delegate who advocates such a change risks losing votes in the less populous divisions. A party which speaks too loudly on the subject risks the same loss.
 Nevertheless, it is a good sign when the trend of thought turns gradually to- ward a development which come eventually. As Alaska continues to grow, some means of proportion ate representation must be devised. This was recog- nized by the First division meeting recent ly in Wrangell. Party plat forms are not to be taken too seriously these days, but still it is heartening to see even such small recog- milton given a subject so 4
