; I WISH TO ADD MY
ENTIRE APPROVAL
M MEBR THIRTY-SIX.
TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1915,
Editor of the Progressive-Mmer:
The question of whether Alaska
should have a territorial or stale
hood government is being agitated
considerably. I noticed in Monday’s
Issue a communication signed by
An Advocate “ with whom I agree
! in every respect, and that is to
• j; organise a party of honest advo
cates of decent government. To be
gin with, the people of Alaska can
detrtand and enforce their rights if
they so will. Alaskans do not have !
to beg. if the people will poll to-!
gesher. and they can soon remove j
all obstacles to their prosperity, j
Therefore, statehood should be the j
goal and now is the time, and the i
sooner the fight begins the sooner
I the victory will perch upon the ban- j
ners of the people. Let the old pol
itical pasties sink in oblivion, or
else be absorbed by the wave of
popular sentiment that should start
front Ketchikan and reach . to Point
Barrow.
Pray, what is full territSHai gov
ernment ?
Any territory that must be gov
erned by a set of officials three
thousand miles away, cuts but a j
sorry figure, “full or otherwise.”
We have got the resources, the pop- j
illation and the brains, what is the
sense of procrastination, what is the
use of conserving out state rights
for future generations ? Let us
enjoy some of its benefits now and
be prepared to turn over to poster
ity a full state government with
all its severing powers.
Do not let us wait until the old j
parties have an opportunity to re
; organize and put up their fences.
The Republican party is disorgan
ized in Alaska, the Democratic
party is too weak so stand a seige
the consequence is plain that a gen
eral movement of the people will
compel them to surrender and come
into the ranks for the genera! pros
perity ^corporations too. finding that
opposition is useless, will turn their
capita! in courses that wifi rebound
: to the genera! good. The salva
I tton of Southeast and Southwest
Alaska is Statehood, now.
The other districts can apply when
they are qualified.
Now is the time to strike for all
worth having, or else sink into in
xnsoos disaetude. Chose your lead
er and let work commence, a people
worthy of liberty should be willing j
to fight for it.
ANOTHER ADVOCATE OF
STATEHOOD.
