While 'he Territorial form of
government wliicli Alaska Iftis now,
is of very little use to any one.
The Empire is not in favor of cux
tailj: s the powers of our legislature
ann iota. it is in favor of every
parcel of proposes! legislation that
will increase the Territorial pow
ers .»ud against every parcel -of
pri j,1. sttf legislation tha^ will take
away from these powers. For that
reason, it does no' favor the i>ro
past.il bill to take away from the
Territory the power to tax thg fish
eries 01 Alaska For the same rea
son it does not favor the -passage
of «he Wickersham Administrative
commission bill in its present form,
though it does favor the L.ane De
velopment Board plan for Alaska as
it is set out iu the Chamberlain
bill.
This controversy over 'ho respect
ive powers that should be exer
cised in Alaska by the Federal gov
• rntu j' and the Territorial govern
ment makes it conclusively plain
that 'he first thiii£ for congress to
do is to pass a full Territorial
foim of government bill for Alaska.
It' A1 is'kii be given all tho powers
of government that other territor
ies have exercised, and then let
tii(j Federal goverumnt do as • it
will with wha» powers of govern
ment as are left. We cannot think
of a bettcT disposal of them than
t-> center them upon such a hoard
is is, proposed in the Caambtirlaiu,
and Wickersham bills.
If Alaska had a full Territorial
form cf government and were ex
» g its proper power under it.
:.l cabinet officer would seriously
s^gji^t that a bill preventing the
tuxauon of the fisheries by the
T rriior; should be jiassed by con
gress.
The people cf Alaska should fight
to ret:'iu the powers that they now
have and continue the contest fcr
their American right to full self
jcveri:ment under a full Territorial
.'arm cf government.—Empire. x
A (UAXUE OK TACTICS
The armor plate trust has come
down the tree. 1
When the bill for a government,
1 1
aruior plate factory was first
brought before the senate. com
mittee on naval affairs! private man
ufacturers threatened that they
would hold U£ the government for
an increase of .$.200 on armor plate
for the immediate necessities of
the navy; if thQ measure should
pasf. The answer of the Sonate
was to pass the bill by a vote of
54 to 23.
The measure was then presented
in the House with the prospect of
even a more decisive majority in
its favor. Thereupon Jlr. Schwab
ant' lys cohorts because anxious.
About to see their bluff called, they
arranged a different front. Instead
of threatening the representatives
of the United States government
they came across and offered a re
duction of $30 a ton on armor'plate
if the government would please de
sist from building its own plant.

Washington, March 31 — Presi
j deu' Wilson has received an unusu
al number of letters threatening
I his life since his inaugurates it
' was revealed in connection with the
j introduction of a bill in the sen
ate. Senator Cuibudtson of Texas
offered the bill, which provides a
j fine of $1,000 or two years' im
prisonment for any writer or sender
of a letter threatening the Presi

said, were responsible in a meas

NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Row Prom Grief.
What a fortunate provision of nature
It is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how pil«^.<int would be its
grief to discover, in the height of its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house of pleating rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness hare
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women, but thanks to the in
vestigations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction Is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows Into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicido i
absolutely destroys* this germ, thus 1
permitting the hair to grow as na
ture intended. Sold by leading drug
