onehouse legislative system, thought it only just and right that the question should be submitted to
 the people of Alaska general election that all the voters of the Territory would have fair oppor- unity express their views the subject by secret ballot This is peculiarly question which ought to based firmly upon the expressed will of the people who are effected Such reference of important gov ernmental matters to the people is in true harmony with the principles of democratic government"
 The unicamera Legislature proposal isn't party issue and shouldn't be considered It involves change in form of government, question which should be determined by individual voters on its merits regardless of his or her political faith The voter should bear in mind that he isn't voting for or against any candidate, whether it be Delegate Dimond who put the bill through Congress at the request of number of Alaskans or any of the rest of the candidates when he declares himself the uncaneral question: As provided by law the question is on separate ballot It should be considered so by the voter as strictly partisan issue before the voters of Alaska to do with as they see fit.
 The Empire repeats MT Dimond's words, that the proposal for one-house Legislature is not poli- dcal issue
 It certainly should not be used as a campaign issue for or against the Delegate.
 Because The Empire questions the need of change from a two-house to a one-house Legislature is as definitely opposed to such change at this time as It IS definitely m favor of Delegate Dnonds reelection.
 The fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence subscribed themselves to the thought that Prudence indeed will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and tram sient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferabe than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they accus- toned"
 If it is evil the two-house Legislature is not an msufferabe evil change at this time, would be based upon light and transient causes -at least causes not sufficient to involve the Territory in experiment in government that would necessitate so great alteration in its form of legislature
 The Territory has operated under a two-house Legislature without any dire results for number of years. Why change until the need for change is more apparent?

4 NON-POLITICAL ISSUE

In a couple of weeks the voters Of Alaska are going to express themselves on the question ot whether they prefer to change their legislative sys tenn to a uncameral or one-house, Legislature or retain the two-house or bicameral system which has been in effect since legislative procedure started in the Territory.
 In getting the referendum through Congress Dele gate Anthony j. Dimond made this comment which is an excellent one for the voter to keep in mind when he goes to the polls on September 13:
 Every voter has an opportunity to say whether he Favors or does not favor one-house legislature for Alaska. So plain is the ballot that there is no chance for anyone to be confused Not single person now voting in Alaska but knows that the Territory at the present time has a two-house or bicameral Legislature and that the change suggested is to the one-house or unicameral system. It is to be hoped that every citizen of Alaska who votes at the Sep tember l3 election will vote on the referendum with respect to the proposal of the establishment of a one-house legislative system for the Territory.
 80 far as l am concerned the proposal of a one house Legislature for Alaska is not and ought not be a partisan political issue Whatever lies within my power I have done to keep it from being such an issue. have not suggested and do not now suggest that any Democrat should vote in favor of the pro- posal because he is a Democrat, and I unable to see that any Republican is obliged to vote against it because he belongs to that party"
 Effort is being made in some sources to make the unicameral question political issue The state ment Of Delegate Dimond last April the proposal of ona-housc Legislature for Alaska is not and ought not ba partisan political issue is just true today it was then The question before the voters Sep tember l3 is one for Aaskans to decide Alaskans and not as Democrats and Republicans
 It was brought before the voters of Alaska for this reason as explained by the Delegate:
 In view of the undoubted opinions of consd- erabe number of the citizens of Alaska in favor of

FRIDAY. AUGUST 26, 1888
 According to astrology this should be a fairly favorable day for per sonal affairs. It is suspicious for women who make changes in their environment or who seek new as- sociations in business.
 While there is an encouraging sway for progressive activities there may be many pitfalls in business, owing to secret contracts and mis- representations.
 The configuration stimulates in- trigue and plotting Women are warned that they will be sought as tools in minor schemes for partisan success.
 AS the month closes it is probable that there will be many rumors dis turbing to business prospects. Labor troubles are prophesied Violence may be the result Of unfair policies in dealing with laborers.
 Epidemics again are presaged. Portents of perils through diseases imported from foreign lands are discerned.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of work and prosperity. Novel e1 oeriences are forecast.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be ambitious and capable of successful initiative. Subjects of this sign are steady and dependable, courageous and forceful.
 Joseph Taylor Robinson, onetime United States Senator. was born on this day 1872. Others who have cele- brated it as a birthday include Thomas Jefferson Coolidge railway president and diplomat, 1881; Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, 1919.

Denman was much credited with originating the plan for enlarging the Supreme Court.
 Of late, however, friends have insisted that he proposed only that part having to do with increasing membership on the district and circuit courts. Whatever the truth CT purpose of the stories, the later version might conceivably reduce Senate opposition arising against anyone connected with the court enlargement idea.
 New Dealers point out that in any event the President is under no compulsion to hurry an ap- pointment, and may save it until after election time.
