WHY NOT LOOK AT ALASKA?
The St. Louis Republic is full
ol sympathy for the alleged
wrongs suffered by the people of j
the Philippine islands under aj
system of local self-government,
through which they make their
own laws, control their own finan
cial affairs and revenues, devel
op their own resources for their ;
own uses and pay not a dollar of j
tribute to the UniteVl States in !
any form. Says the Repubic: j
“Here is the weakness of Hu*
Republican position on the Phil
ippine question: that it is anti
constitutional and un-American.
The benevolent -despotic theory
of government--that a supreme
.ruling power knows better than
the people know what they need
•ought to stand—is the one thing
-4hat the Revolutionary war was
fought to overthrow.”
The Philippines attract quite a
lot of Democratic attention and
sympathy. Why not devote a lit
tle of these to things nearer to
home? Alaska, for example, has
had forty odd years of despotic
government imposed upon it
from the outside. Its , white
American citizens are not only
taxed for the support of the fed
eral government, but congress
has imposed a special system ol
taxation, local to them, under
which every occupant is taxed
-heavily. F.very natural resource
of the land save gold and copper
alone, is lied up beyond the pos
sibility of utilization.
(ioing a little furl her, we have :
yet to see any criticism from the!
Republic or from any oilier Deni- j
ocratie newspaper with an exist
ing federal policy under which I
nnc-lhird of I lie area of lliis slale
of Washington and of oilier tar'
western stales is laken mil from j
under the operation of Ihc stale'
laws and its utilization praclieal- j
ly prohibited. This is based,
squarely upon the doctrine which j
the Republic repudiates, that Ini- I
reau officials al ‘ Washington City!
“know better than tin* people (of j
the Western states) what they
need and what they ought to
stand.” An amplification of this
theory is that, the bureau officials
at Washington City should be
empowered to establish the terms
and conditions upon which water
powers may be developed in this
state, and to regulate the charge
to be paid by the people of this
state for power developed from
any and all of its streams.
The assertion that the federal
government actually exercises
despotic power over the Philip
pines is far fetched. It does ex
ercise! such despotic power over
Alaska, and to a modified extent
over a considerable part of the
West, and on matters of the most
intimate and vital concern to the
people of those stales, and of no
direct concern to people in any
other part of the country— Post
Intelligencer._ ‘
ALASKA STRAWBERRIES AND
CREAM.
Alaska, the land of gold and
mosquitoes,. is soon to grow its
own strawebrries. The cream
problem has already been solved
by the department of agriculture,
which started a herd of Galloway
cattle on the way to success in
the wild and frozen North. Now
for th.e strawberries.
Those wizards of modern life,
the plant-breeders, scurried
about until they found a little,
wild strawberry near Sitka. There
was about as much sweetness to
it as to a persimmon, but it was
inurejd to the climate. So the
wizards crossed it with a good
fruit-bearing plant from the
Slates, and the result was a
yield of strawberries on a eold
resisting vine.
Next year these plants will be
distributed and Alaska will have
strawberries of its own.
The Galloway herd will furnish
the cream, and the best sugar
experts say they will soon be
able to develop a sugar beet that
will thrive within the Arctic Cir
cle.
When the happy time comes,
our territory, in the frozen North,
will furnish its own sugar too.
Surely, the Alaskan who ran sit
down to strawberries, sugar and
cream, all grown on his own
land, will lake off his hat to the
Department of Agriculture—ev
en at the risk of catching cold.—
Ex. _
AN ANTI-MARRIAGE^ DECREE
Thf Hankers Trust Company,
of New York, has raised a vexed
question by informing its clerks
that any ... (hem marrying
on a salary of less than $100 a
month will invite dismissal and
forfeiture of the right to share in
the company’s pension benefit.
The directors expressly disclaim
any attempt to protect themselves
against theft saying their sole ob
ject, is to safeguard their em
ployees against those more inti
male disasters that await young
men who undertake to support a
family on an income inadequate
to maintain if on a fairly high
level.
Doubtless the decree will occa
sion some resentment among the
young men, who may feel that
they are the best judges of when
they shall marry. One sympathiz
es, too, with this view, for it is
impossible to generalize on such
large questions with wisdom.
What one man can do safely an
other can not do, and there are
almost as many solutions to such
a problem as there are individ
uals. Bu| for ils own purpose,
the bank has revived the familiar
figure, the average man. The
question has been raised; it
would be interesting to know
what other employers of men who
are required to maintain a cer
tain position in the community
think of this action—Ex.
Wanted.
