SEW VKD. VLASKA. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 23, 1915.
This war is a peculiar thing.* It brings out the fact that all nations are
dissatisfied just as individuals are. It is one of the imperfections handed
down b) the sin of our first parents that a human being always wants some
thing besides what he has got and individuals make up nations as the grains
of sand make up the >ea shore. Both aggregations partake of all the quali
ties of the component parts only in a more intensified form due to the com
bination of many.
1: u cleai no a that each nation in Europe wanted something else. Some
of the nations arc lighting for this something else and those which are not
lighting are at peace only because the expediency of no particular course is
making itself evident while the belligerents ar succeeding in holding each
other oiT.
It has be *n suggested that Congress be asked to pas* a curative act to
make valid the Alaska school law passed by the last legislature. In fact, the
last Alaska legislature memorialized Congress to transfer control over
school matters from the Federation to the Territorial government.
This suggests that Delegate NVickersham ha.> advanced the piecemeal
method of enlarging the powers of Alaska’s government. He urged that the
Territorial Legislature should go ahead and pass laws that are needed and if
they are discovered to be in conflict with the organic act, curative acts
may be passed h\ Congress. Delegate Wickersham gave expression to this
proposal iu commenting upon the remedial act passe*! by the la>t congress
when it was discovered that the revenue law of the First Legislature was
in conflict with provisions >f the organic act. That revenue law, by the way,
was patterned n accordance with legal advice from the Delegate, just as was
the school la v that has now fallen in the abyss between the just rights of
the people of Alaska and their limited powers.
Such a course w wild not only delay for years the extension of the rights
of “full Territorial form of government” to the people of Alaska, hut it
contains in it elements that count for uncertainty, procrastination, delayed
development and inefficient government. It would he just as easy to secure
in one enactment the removal of all the limitations which make our govern
ment less than that enjoyed by the peoples of other Territories as it would be
to secure the passage of a single curative act. Such an enactment would
give the people power to develop*' their government in a normal manner.—
(Juneau Empire.)

TELLS STORY OF THE
ANCHORAGE ASSAULT!
Terri ion Not Believed and Witneseen
Say He Was Lying.
ANCHORAGE, Oct. 21.—
The dark hours of October 13th.
furnised Anchorage with a little ex- j
citement which continued over into
the Commisioner’s court Friday. The
combination of Friday and thirteen
Eeemed to work aguinst the peace of
mind of one John Terrison (Russian
Johnnie) in no comfortable manner as
the little party in which he figured as
the prosecuting witness proved to be
the blow that landed said Terrison
“on the rocks." j
According to the evidence in the
commissioner’s courl, it seems that
about eight o’clock the evening of the
13th one of the local business men
went to the tent occupied by Terrison
with a view of collecting an old bill;
Enroute to this tent he was accom
panied by Jack Steon and Charley
Gilbert who waited outside during the
attempt to collect the money. Upon
promise to settle the next day the trio
1 continued on out C street, but as they
were leaving Terrison made some un
holy verbal crack at Charley Gilbert,
and Gilbert immediately returned and
adminisered what would generally
be termed “a beat-up,” and then pro
ceeded on his way. The “beat-up"
however, brought forth much noi^e
and cry from Terrison and this in
turn attracted a large crowd which
I
was informed by Terrison in a man
ner very exciting that he had been
robbed. Upon arrival of the marshal
he stated that Gilbert ami Steen had ;
performed the robbery as well as I
placing many painful spots upon his j
anatomy. Of course Gilbert and
, Steen were taken in tow by the mar*
shal pending the trial which was
scheduled for 10 a. m. Friday. At
the trial the above facts were brought
out as well as a run of other ordinary
remarks which was partly due to 1
Judge Stowe being the the attorney
for the defendants. Upon direct
examination Terrison informed the
I
court that his reason for not settling
t i
the bill that night when asked to do
so was because “he would never talk
about money matters after dark in
Anchorage.”
Most of the witnesses examined
were business men who testified that
Tcrrison’s reputation for “truth and
veracity' was bad. Judge Stowe’s very i
able handling of the case tended to
show that no robbery took place and i
that the reason for Terrison’s getting
a warrant on these grounds was to
enable him to have a better excuse
for not paying the many bills he owed
about town. U. S. Commissioner
j David, before whom the hearing was '
j held, dismissed the charge of robbery
against both the defendants and »
placed a charge of assault and bat
i tcry against Charley Gilbert and fined
him $100 and costs.
