ALASKA NEWSPAPERS AND HOME The Douglas News represents the delegate from Alaska as a i the doctrine that whoever is i to the delegate from Alaska is an enemy of Alaska. The a is not a i Because the newspapers of Alaska have failed to enthuse over the delegate's home rule bill, the delegate proclaims that the newspapers are hostile to home rule.

Whether such a statement consists more of folly or of impudence, it is not easy to decide. The truth is, that of the six newspapers of Fairbanks, Nome and Cordova--every one of i a declares lack of confidence in the delegate's sincerity of purpose or ability to secure results--all of them are intensely in a of home rule. Yet they can not enthuse over the delegate's home rule bill. The fact is, it is not a home rule bill. It will not give the people of Alaska home rule.

The principal cause for this vital defect is that in composing the bill, the delegate did not take the people into his confidence, try to find out a the people wanted, and put a they wanted into the bill. Who in Alaska authorized the delegate to recommend to congress a the of the i business be i the Alaska legislature? Why should Alaskans not be trusted to manage this part of i household affairs as well as any Did any Alaskan ever make such a suggestion to the delegate? No. As the delegate confessed in congress, he placed that i i a i in his bill because he did not want to give Hoggatt a chance to say that he was i for the i interests--a personal reason, alongside of which the business interests of the Alaska i dealers did not count. We give this only as an instance. There is one restriction a a in the i i indicates the i of the delegate that the people are not to be trusted with control of i household affairs.

The Times, and most of the other newspapers which have given close study to the subject of home rule, believes that we a complete rule, and that we can get complete home rule as easily as a i of home rule which would make the Alaska legislature little more a an advisory board to congress. Why should Alaska have less measure of home rule a other territories have had us? If a i we should a a greater measure of home than any territory ever enjoyed, because we are so far removed from the central seat of the a i a To ask for only part home rule, when a bold demand would as easily secure the whole i is on a par with the proposal to use only i of a $12,000 a i a i and send the rest back to Washington. No; the newspapers do not enthuse over the i to establish a a i society in the territory of Alaska, but that does not i anybody in asserting that they are hostile to home rule. Governor Clark, whose greatest hobby is the lighting of the coast of Alaska, once proposed that every wreck of a vessel in the waters of Alaska be nailed down and preserved where it struck, and that it be fitted up with lights as a a i to vessels in the future. In that way, it was calculated, the waters of the coast would be a a lighted.

Now the people of Valdez propose that the government fill with cement the hull of the steamship Olympia and make a lighthouse out of the pile. The Olympia is resting on the rocks of Bligh island, fn Prince William sound, as evenly as if she were resting at anchor. She has weathered the storms of a year, and, with her strong hull filled with cement, and a light placed on top of the mast, she would become an aid to navigation, instead of the menace she now is. Perhaps the idea is fantastic. But there is nothing fantastic about the continuing need of Alaska for more lights along the route to the states.

In the campaign for these objects, Governor has the united and hearty support of all Alaska.
