January llHli was a great dav for Alaska, as it was
% 4
on that date that our Delegate to Congress, Hon. Charles
A. Sulzer, introduced a hill to provide the full Territorial;
Form of Government for Alaska. Mr. Sulzer’s bill shows
that it was given profound study for the reason that it
covers the ground in detail and b just what Alaska has
wanted and needed for the past dozen years or more. The!
passage of the bill should be earnestly advocated by all;
Alaskans as it will do more to advance the permanent in
terests and welfare of the Territory than any measure ev- j
er yet introduced. The completeness of the bill is a trib-1
ute to Mr. Sulzer in that it proves his knowledge of the |
needs of the constituency he so ably represents.—Douglas

Blessed be the lot of the German editor! The Berlin
government tells him what not to print, which, we believe,
lifts a great load. Then it tells him what to print, where
the emphasis, the nice little head-letters, commas, semi
colons and such are to be put in, and when to be concilia-1
tory, or a dignified critic, or just natural liar. Then, if,
after all his instruction, the editor makes a slip, govern
ment simply goes out on the street and suppresses his cir
culation—no hunting the editor with a hickory club, no
libel suits, no sanctum troubles whatever. A reliable-of-j
fice bov and a conscientious government censor! What'
(ioes the German editor care about heaven and the here
a^er.

That Seward is experiencing no decrease in business i
as a result of the closing of the saloons in accordance with;
the bone dry law which went into effect on January 1, is
the belief of Charles E. Brown, of the mercantile firm of
Brown & Hawkins, who returned from Seward this week
after a brief business visit in that city. Most of the for
mer saloons are now being operated as soft drink places
and pool rooms, while one is being used as a motion pic
ture theatre.—(Anchorage Times.)

Dr. Bisoph, Cleveland’s health commissioner, warns

personal attendance.
