The Empire is not so much interested in the question of the final adoption or rejection of the governmental system proposed by the much touted Controller Bill as it is in doing its part to make it plain that the system has no con- nection with the principle of self-government. Its objection to the measure is principally the in- justi that would result from getting the people to accept it with the hope that it would be a solution of the question of government by the people or that it anything to do with the subject. We do not opose that it shall be accepted in that sense 1 then have the people a half-dozen years, or less, hence awaken to a ralization of the fact that the people of Alaska had not gained a whit more authority in gov- ernment than they had enjoyed before its con- ception At least, The Empire will protect for itself the right to say, “We told you so.” The only way to bring self-government to the [shore; people of A is to bring greater author to them by increasing the powers of the Terri- torial government and by providing lecal control through creating smaller governmental units. At the present, aside from the municipal govern- ments, we have but a single governmental unit in Alaska—the ritory itself, with an area more than eight times as large as the State of Wash- ington with her thirty-nine counties, and as conditions as exists in any like area of the United States. The Legislature of not only as a legislative body, but Imagine that part of the United £ lying east of the Mississipi River with onme State and County 3 government combined, its seat at Washington r or Boston or New Orleans! Would it be pos- sible for the people of any particular State, or part of a State, to have self-government? The Bill would not touch the ques- A1 tion of self-government. It would change the 5\ personnel of those who make records of vital ' statistics, examine banks, j on the merits Pioneer’s Home, and work required by the Legislature and in the manner the Legislature might direct. It the people want that sort of a change it is all right with us, but it will harrass the whole situatiom if they permit it to take their attention from real fight for real self-government in Alas And, if they fight for it ‘as a self- government measure, and get it, there will be a 4 JOHN W.

When ‘“pink fingered dawn first tore aside the somber curtains of the night” it must have been on Resurrection Bay. This is the place where the stage is set and the mountains seem waiting. We had never seen it more beautiful before. This morning some were lifted out of bed at the first break of light as though some quiet, bene- ficent spirit had aroused them amd lightly touched them on the shoulder. Out "acrcss the bay an upstanding pinnacle of snow flashed brilliantly like merry search- light turned upon the dark surroundings. The bay was black—raining—but down along the range and all around the bowl some fairy spirte began picking out peak after peak, touching each with a dainty wand of pink and rose. Over one of the high pinn.cles a long streaming gossamer of drifting snow flared out like a golden banne A whale boat came sturdily up the bay; the handsome, yacht-like Surveyor, anchored off- the big freighter Tanana with its winches groaning under heavy slings of dredge steel; smoke, drifting lazily from the funnels of smaller vessels— Coming b along the docks the bay reflected the morning light like cold steel. The moun- tains in their ccwls of white stood silent as a forbidding brotherhood. A stroller shivered and glanced in a warehouse door. There was a plow, a real plow, made - back in llinois. The early riser, a new-comer here, was not cnly astonished, but flabbergasted. It addressed te somebody over at Windy, Alaska, but my ‘“gosh,” how it warmed the carkles of one's heart. You see the stroller was born in Mlinois. Over on g side track were a number of cars of railroad ties destined for somewhere up the line. Those same ties were lcaded aboard ship at Juneau. Later, the stroller found a saw mill idle in Seward. Those gulls get one's everlasting goat! are ‘the original “Gimmie” colony; and give nothing. If you have believe me they know you have it, they will hang around till the cows come home. If you haven’t anything, they know that too, and if you make the mistake of loitering around they will greet you with racous cheers. If you feed ’'em most of 'em are sore because they didn’t get their They ; they take all ome thing, and beaks in the nosebag. If you don’t feed them they'll il round and round with a mournful wail like you had beaten their last child to death with a mallet. What te do! What to do! Highway Bill Boards Doomed.
