THE TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE. , Tlie Empire yr .Unlay contained, i ketches and pictures of the Democratic nominees for the Legis lature. Everyone of them ought to be elected. They ought to be elected, not because they arc Democrats, hut because tliey are representative and busy citizens of the Territory. They are a part of the life of the corn-mil nit iec in w-hth-h they live. They are hard working den-elopers <i-f the things in itih© North that aie worth while. There is not a politician among them. They have no axes to -grind. They hare no clique or clan to serve. They stand for the tilings that count far tho prosperity and welfare of the country. Thedr intercuts are exaictly similar to the Interests of ail the citizens of tlhe North who work for a living and to better -their conditions. They believe in a sane, economical, businesslike and com mon-senre government of the Territory. They a,re men who have succeeded in private life, and 'they -vill succeed as custodians of tile public welfare. They ate the sort of men -that one woulld like to intrust with Ills private business. Party polities ns they are known in the States do not apply to Alaskan ma-lUrs at all. The absurd piimavy election law makes it i.i that the convenient way to get names on the official ballot is through the use of tho name o-f a political party. The can didates on the so-called Republican -ticket in South tastern Alaska are n it representative of the Repub lican National Party, anyhow. They are banditti who capiurrd the Republican primary through the mass vjt:img of Indians who know no more about the prinoiplev of the Republican >r Democratic 'parties than they know about Idle nebuil'ar hypotheail They have absolutely no claim to the support of if single Republican. Therefore, the whole question In Alaska if vvhe-Thcr , r not vo a-re to have a government in ■Alaska in harmony with American civilization or whether we are to have a government dictated to by illiterate Indians and scheming politicians. SENATOR BRANDEGEE. The trueic death of Senator Brandegee will cause general icig-ret. Senator Brandugoe was one of the hard-working members or -the United States Senate. Ho was never a shirker. He was nearly always in ids seat -when the Senate or a committee of the Senate of wthiieh he was a member was in session. Ho was one of those who kept the wheels going by giving attention to detail. Like Senator Smoot. Senator Simmons. Senator Cummins, Senator Glass. ! Senator Jones and others ho felt that he was a director In Lhe gTOa-t corporation of the United States and that he owed tho country actual service for the Hilary ho got from it. He was no one of those who stayed away -from -the Senate or a Senate committee’ unless uoni©tilling in which lhe was particularly in-' terested was being considered or who appeared onlv when ho saw an opportunity -to make a speeoh on a I big question. In tills respect he was the opposite! of Senator Johnson of California, Senator Reed! of Missouri, Senator Borah, Senator La Eollette and •some of Uhe other mire upec-laoular members. Senator, Brandegee was not a persuer of publicity. He did his‘ full ..hare of tille hard and Irksome labor of tVmgross. i Senator Brandegee was a standpatter He was an irrecondilable in tie grout Leugtue of Nations oJii-est. He was a pronounced political enemv of I le. ldent W ilson. However, spmethlng mono than e. per cent, of the business tyat comes berore the Senate and its committees is partisan, and Senator Lrandege- being always active gave about that per centd.© of hiv time to non-partisan matters He ae cepted a-ii the responsibilities „f being a United States Senator, and was, li,©rotor©, u vt),-y lm„rul SenUor AMERICA SUPREME ON RACE TRACK. ifte defeat of Epinari, (ihamplon rare hprsn of France', in all of lula lliree .races In the United Staler, mean, that Arnerilca retains the supremacy in hone-racing .that was established last year when Zcv defeated Papyrus. Perhaps it is tortunite for American racing fame Phut Bpluard came this year rather Phan last, for ihis performances on the turf thus year were better Phan there of the English horse last year, or of Zov, the American horse which de We,had a bo"cr c,an< of horses to pack from Phis year than wo had last year—though Zev who never broke a record, not even a track record' won mere m moy last year than waa ever before won by an American horse in a single year The circumstance that Bplnard ran second In ell the races in which he was entered is proof that l " wa* entitled to the reputation he brought across the Atlantic with bam. In the last race, the l.atonia International Stakes, the great Sarazen. a much better horse than Zev ever was, had to beat the track record to stay in the lead, and he waa only a length ahead at the finish. The French (halve no cause to .be ashamed of the record made by their favorite raccvlioree on American tracks. Hei Is a great horse, but he mot better horses over here JEFFERSON AND ILLITERACY. An advocate of illiterate Imfian voting in Alaska declares that1 the Indians' right to vote is implied iby the Declaration at' Independence Which says tihat "gov ernments derive their just powers from tho consent of the governed." Pure sophistry! The Declaration of Independence did not mean that children, im beciles. prisoners, aliens, soldiers, those who cannot read or write or a lot of others it hat are governed but denied the right of franchise in separate States should have it lie vote. Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, was in favor of a literate electorate. He said the success of self-government depended upon H. He urged the establishment of free schools so (lie citizens could qualify themselves to be electors. Tho spectacle of politicians herding hundreds of Indians who cannot read or wnite or spouk English to tho palls to vote as a bloc at the dictation of scheming politicians would be abhorrent to Jefferson. The Liberal Party of Great Britain, like the Damo ciatic Party in America, is experiencing the diffi culties thut beset those who occupy middle ground when tho extreme® go to ibattle. It faces a human tendency to Join the extremists in such a battle— it furnishes the recruiting ground for those at both ends. Perhaps those Wanhil mgiton State supporters of Senator La Ktollofte are ttyiimg to even things up in the interest of a square deal. La Follette tickets have been forced off the official ballot in California. Louisiana and .Michigan so Washington is putting on three or four La Pj-llette tickets that the average might noi suffer. Those wlio are directly respnaihle for the creation cl any racial antagonisms tluat might be developing bfitjvecn whites end Indians are those who are I i ndeavoring to control the Territory through the I j voting of Illiterate Indians. Pplltics Vs. Business. (Seattle Alaska Weekly.) Mr. Paul says, “We should worry because the] trap amendment failed—.we'll (tax them out of exist ence.” Mr. Paul has the reputation of being an astute lawyer. As such he is surely aware of the attitude of the court regarding taxation for purposes other than necessary revenue. The cannery is as necessary to the fishermen as i the fWherm.'in is essential to the cannery. In many li.utances na traps mean no cannery; and no cannery 'moans no market; and no market means .hungry jfivherniep. Already the plaints of tlhe Indians Mr. Paul has been so valiantly protecting from the on slaughts of the heartless oannerymen are beginning j to be heard. The Indian of Haines are alarmed I ever the possibility of a loan winter.

J The Ahanlas Club “I would rather help the kids with their night work any evening than read the sport page or play poker with the boys,” declared the father. Possible Explanation "Pa,” said Clarence, "why do they often spell shop shoppe?” "They put the last two letters on to warn customers that prices are elevated in fern, 1 guess,” replied his dad.

Hercules Had a Cinch A.fter reading that almost gray blue is one of the new popular Shades It sot us wondering if think ing up now fool names for old colors isn’t almost as hard on thinking up new fool ways of saying the same old stuff for a column. Speaking of Odd Names Here are the names of some of Kentucky's towns: Hellfnr-Saitln, Eighty-eight, Little Crab, Sassafras, Shooktown, Summer Shade, Paint Lick, Nonesuch and Why-Not. None, as you may guess, Is quite as large as New York, especially Why-Not and Nonesuch. Not Like Representative Hill A tender-hearted dry Is Hiram Gard. Who never lets His cider work too hard. Ouch! He was reading an account or Uie new aerial mall service. "^‘Gee!” he remarked, "they certain ly Jiave Improved the malls in re cent, s.” “It’! c> bad it Isn't possible to say the same of the males,” she retorted. i This Ought to Interest Some One According to the last census there are 1,758,303 widowers in the United States. However, our guess is that maybe the last 303 haven’t married again— yet. —I More Or Less True i If you can't afford to send daugh ter away to a finishing school to get that haughty air,..she can get the same reaglt by gjffklng in the five and-ten cent stored for a few wePks. ! Don't imagine that just because she won't help with the dishes and housework > daughter isn’t helpful. She corrects ni(W*v>f mother’s faults —a thing dad wouldn't dare try— tells her where the beRt beauty par lors are. and sets her an example of how to dress. Our Idea of a tare woman Is one Who will admit She had her hair bobbed Just bee aurte it was a fad and not because Bhe thought it would be easier to take care of or might improve her looks or health. It is none of our business, we know, but after o(ir experience with six we can’t help but wonder how hose can be anchored below the knee without stopping the circula tion. When one organ of the body lays off another takes up the burden, they say, and u cynic remarks that In the case of married men this means the ears have to do double duty when the tongue gets a per manent vacation. We suppose the reason women “adore” great, big, strong men Is ■because it is so much more thrilling to make that kind lie down, roll over and Jump through a hoop. The reason we dont’ believe many girls will try to get the effect of Valentino side whiskers Is because most of them are doing their beRt to look manly and not effeminate these days. We don't hear so much about housemaid's knee any more, but it does strike us that a lot of girls are taking an awful chance of get ting rheumatism In theirs. The most heartless mother we know of is one who has her own hair shingled, yet lets little Willie get the reputation of being a sissy because she won't let him have his long curls chopped off. Somebody advertises in the local classified column for a man "ex perienced in housework." If tills is a matrimonial ad we’ll bet the ap plicants that showed up were rep resented by the final cipher In 10,000. The past love affair with a lot of old married people is their own. A woman's a woman for a’ that and ’ that, and we don’t believe there evct was one so homely she wouldn’t have a mirror around the house.
