Col. So! Ripinsky
on Home Rule
The following excerpts are taken
from a speech delivered by Col. Sol
Kipiusky, of Haines, as printed in the
Douglas Island News of Nov. 27, 1907.
The occasion that called forth the
burst of oratory was the Republican
Territorial convention.
"Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentl
nieu: 1 deem it an honor, a privilege
and a pleasure to be a delegate to this
Republican territorial convention. 1
believe that this will prove a notable
gathering and that it will accomplish
much good; it will bettor the condition
of our people, and advance the wel
fare of this great country.
"At some former territorial con
ventions, I stood in this same hall, ad
vocating home rule for Alaska; and it
is now indeeed it great pleasure to
have the convention adopt the reso
lutions that it did today (applause).
"The people of the head waters of
Lynn canal, whom I have the honor to
represent, are a good, industrious, law
abiding people. They have no par
ticular grienvance against His Excel
lency Governor llogatt, nor against
the other present otlicials. What they
want is that which, by right, they are
entitled to; to be ruled by laws made
by those who have the welfare of the
people at heart.
"To speak frankly, it is my belief,
that, had the present government otli
cials in this territory the right to vote,
the majority of them would vote for
home rule, (loud applause.)
"In 1SG7. 'Alaska' -an English cor
ruption of the Icelandish 'Alakshoa,'
which means the land of glaciers?is
the land that was turned over by the
savage bear of Russia to the golden I
eagle of America, for the considera
tion of $7,200,000.
"Fellow citizens that was quite a
sum, but you must remember that the
j two seal islands of St. George and St.
Paul in Bering sea have supplied the
fair sex of the world with seal skin
coats. The revenue of the two isl
ands and what the Alaska Commer
cial Company has gained from them
has paid double ? yes. treble the
amount Secretary Seward paid for the
whole domain.
"Alaska is yet in her infancy, and
like an infant we are treated by our
mother government?according to the
treatment we have received, she acts <
more like a step-mother than a nat- 1
ural mother. For seventeen long
years we were ruled with an iron <
arm, military rule, until 1884, when <
the first civil law and organic act 1
were extended to our territory; and I
that's the same identical carpetbag
government we have today. Under
the military rule we were in the fry- i
ing pan, today under the carpetbaggers <
we are in the fire. * * * * Our
motto must and shall be 'Alaska for
Alaskans' and 'Down with the carpet
baggers,' or, better expressed In the
regular wooden-shoe language heraut:
mit-him.' (cheers and applause.)
"What we want is home rule; to be
ruled by our own people, under laws
framed by people that understand our
wants. ***** Fellow citi
zens, they say that we are not ripe
for home rule. It seems that the fair
daughters of Hawaii are ripe for home
rule; the Philippines are ripe for
home rule. The Cubans are perhaps,
made of finer clay than we Alaskans,
so they can rule themselves. (Ap
plause that made the galleries shake.)
"Fellow citizens, when shall we be
fit? When our eyes are closed and
our arms folded on our breasts;
after we are summoned to our fath
ers; when we are on that journey
from whence no earthly traveler re
turns? Too late. At that time, fel
low citizens, we will not care wheth
er school keeps or not.
"Now is the time. While our eyes are
opened we can distinguish between
right and wrong; between friends and
foes;- while our mouths are open we
can express our wants; while our
hearts throb for freedom we can hear
the sweet sound of the liberty bell
ringing (more applause.)
"Towns have sprung up in our
neighborhood, rich mines have been
discovered and developed, and sal
mon fisheries are operating extensive
ly. We are a producing people. No
more on our knees begging, we de
mand better treatment.
"Fellow citizens, let us instruct our
delegates to demand home rule for
Alaska, and keep on demanding it, un
til we get it. When we do get it, it
will prove to be the greatest blessing
we ever received from a cruel, near
sighted stepmother."
CONDITIONS LOOK !
GOOD TOR ALASKA
Conditions throughout the Eastern
states are sound according to F. P.
Webb, who returned on the North
western.
"In New England," said Mr. Webb,
"the large manufacturers have dis
counted the expected results of tar
if reductions and they are now anx
ious to have the revisions made that
a study can be made on the effect of
such legislation.
"Copper is in demand, but large
factors in the copper world would pre
fer that the price should remain be
tween 14 and 15 cents per pound rath-'
er than reach the recent altitude.
Stability is the object to be attained
"The stock exchange is rather sub
dued. The stagnation results owing
to the feai of radical legislation that
now seems imminent in the New York
Legislature, which in fact has already
been introduced, of which no one can
forsee the end. An instance showing
the effect on this phase of the finan
cial life is the fact that a seat in the
exchange slod the other day for $48,
000, which 3 years ago brought twice
that amount.
"Insurance companies are gleefully
contemplating the future and have
pleasant reflections on the past twelve
months, owing to the increase in their
business. The Travelers' doubled
their capital and cut a nice melon not
long ago.
"Quite a lot of interest is taken in
this country, especially in the Juneau
section and there is plenty of money
available for good propositions. But
good propositions are coming to New
York every day and we can't expect
them to come way up here and throw
their money into something they know
nothing about. There is capital to be
invested in proved properties and
there is money available for develop
ing prospects, but in the latter case,
we who have merely prospects can
not expect to realize before there has
been some development."

MONTH OF MARCH
AND SUPERSTITION
This is the first of March, the month
that is supposed, in popular supersti
tion, to govern itself by the manner of
its coming in?if like a lion, then it
will go out like a lamb, and vice versa.
This is another superstition that
should be relegated to the ash heap
along with the woodhcuck.
At the risk of starting a rancorous
controversy with Stroller White, who
has defended every irrational supersti
tion from the mythology of the Chal
deans down to goose-grease for influ
enzy, we repeat that there is nothing
in the Lion and Lamb theory.
March is simply an ordinary divis
ion of time, and until the coming of
the Christians, it did not occur at
this period of the season at all, but
was the first month instead of the
third, consequently the Lion and Lamb
did not apply either in theory or prac
tice. A hundred and sixty years ago,
at which time White began to conjure
with wish-bones and monkey with the
zodiac, the English people adopted the
new reckoning, and White, having
served as consul on the British side,
adopted the changed calendar?along
with the wood chuck, ice worm, ser
pent, lion and lamb falsities.
We are willing that our readers shall
indulge themselves in a little harmless
fancy, but we do not want the stamp
of approval put upon it by a govern
ment officer.
Does this glorious, high tariffed and
star spangle bannered commonwealth
send its representatives to contiguous
empires for the purpose of divining
with the entrals of fowls? It does not,
Our consuls are supposed to make
tyranny tremble, and not to witch with
forked sticks and make love philters
and charms out of strange insects and
creeping things.
The truth about March is this: It
was invented as a period in which to
inaugurate a Democratic president
about every sixteen years. Caesar got
too fresh with the ides of March
once, and he was laid where a cer
tain other consul will be, if he does- .H
not regulate his ideas more to the !
paths of truth and veracity. This
may cause international complications,
and we don't care if it does, we have
the truth, though "h?1 itself should
gape, and yawning receive us whole."

YUKON TERRITORY
TO HOLD ELECTION
Yukon Territory is in the midst
of n political campaign. Our Canadian
neighbors are engaged now in attempt
ing to settle among themselves tho
question as to whom they will have
to represent them in their territorial
legislature?council, they call it. The

eral political lines, the Liberals and
Conservatives eacli having placed par
ty candidates in the field from the sev
eral constituencies.

WARRIOR SLATED FOR

reported on high authoritly to be slat
ed to succeed Lhe Duke of Connaught

CORDOVA TO HAVE
COURT TERM
A term of the United States District
Court has ben called to begin at Cor
dova April 10. A petit Jury will be
drawn to serve at that time.
No term has been called for at Sew
ard, as no business has shown up frcm
that section which would justify if in
the opinion of the officials. If, how
ever, enough business should present
itself the court will call a term later
to be held in the Westward town.
