Sections X ard -4 the territorial art contained in
chapter 5t>. puc; : of session law? for Alaska en

m this issoe—« ly provides for the ratifies:::- of
sections 3 as-i -5 Sat what abeot section 6? Sec
ttoa stx reads as f.ilews:
- Section 6. There shall be ejected in every us
eofporated city of the First Class in the Territory of
.Alaska at the r.v-\t regular election after the rati

This section like sections 3 and 4 mast be ratified

HFJ.Z IS THE BOSST
The mpjosed repablieaa primary election for the
purpose of ch->:?.:t.r delegate? to attend the rerritrial
eoavension that - be hrid In Seward ns April, is
near at hard. Mar k eleven has bees named as the
date for hi.: rt this primary election. To that end.
a call by the 1 cl repab&can emssstitseexas mus? be
made. Yet or.:; a few days remain before said
primary elect -Van is held, nc call has been heard.
Where s> the boss anyhow?
Of coarse, if this primary is intended as a farec—
and it leeks that way—a farce widely circulated is
seen lost, therefore, if the bosses want to keep the
farce, they must be discreet and hold their primary
in a small town corner where nobody can see them.
And that is just what will happen unless the repub
licans of this vicinity take it upon themselves to call
a mass sneering to elect their own delegates.

AX AMERICAN CITIZEN
(Front Febntary Atlantic)
The supreme court of Minnesota, as late as 1909.
.1 held a man fit for cltiaers'hip who. though 4<5 years
of age did not know whether the president of the
,'nited States was George Washington or Theodore
Roosevelt, but thought that it was Washington: did
! not know where she capital f the state was located.
| jus thought that it was Minneapolis or Duluth; did
not know who was governor of Minnesota, the state
: in which he had lived for twenty-four years, or where
the laws of Minnesota were made, or whontade them,
bat guessed it was the governor; did not know what
It means to take the oath of allegiance to this country
| did not know anything whatever about the constitu
tion. although he had heard of it: admitted that if
he took the oath to support the constitution of the
United States he would not know what it nwant. The
court, with these facts in mind, considered that this
man was “attached to the principles of the constitu
tion of the Untied States.”

PLAIN MURDERERS
t Chicago Tribune*
If poison and explosives, secret assassination and
irstractiea are legitimate agencies of political or so
cial pretest in any other country, they have no pos
sible cons deration in the United States.
The fanatics who are being trailed front the kit
chen of the University Club should be treated with
out consideration of ehe r alleged motives- They
should be ran down and treated as criminals.
Undoubtedly these men when brought to trial will
be set forth as mistaken bat well intentioned dream
ers of utopian dreams or sensitive souls driven to
desperate measures by tfceir sense of man's inhuman
ity to man. the evils of poverty, the injustice* of or
ganised society.
The state should not be led into any defense of
institutions or be otherwise distracted from the fact
that these men plotted the destruction of life—mur
der in plain words, murder deliberate, ruthless, re
gardless of limit or effect.
We are suffering from an ignorant transplanta
tion of doctrines and methods of the Old World. In
this re public they shcold be treated as criminality
simply. There is a dear path to aB reforms in our
system and we do nos intend to have at sown with
bombs. Politics which takes to murder must be
handled like any other variety of murder.
