When it is simmered down we
find that the boom foi Swineford
M delegate from Alaska arose amid
the smoke in the lobby of the
Northern hotel at Seattle.— Dis
patch.
The man who went out to milk
and sat down on a boulder in the
middle of the pasturo and wai’ed
for the cow to back up, was a
brother of the man who kept a
•tore and woulden’t advertise be
cause he reasoned that the pur
chasing public would back up to
his place of business when it wanted
something.—Exchange.
Telegrams dated March 14th,
from Washington stated that Judge
Wickersham was on bis way to
Alaska, but the news seems to have
been just about as authentic as the
news of his confirmation Monday.
It should be remembered by ter
ritorialists that Alaska has Sena
tor Nelson to thank for results.
And he it was who told congress
plainly that teiritorial government
was not practical in Alaska, and
more, that Alaskans, those men
who were planting their money in
Alaska, and boring holes in her
mountains, didn’t a.-k for it and in
many instances were strongly op
posed to it. If Congressman Nel
son dind’t know that the election
of a delegate from Alaska to con
gress closes the mouth of those who
are crying ’‘taxation without repre
sentation” and thereby knocks
from under them their strongest
prop, he never would have put
forth the herculean effort that he
did to have the delegate bill pass
the senate. And observe the ear
marks of the Nelson bili—one
years residence to vote—3 years in
the penitentiary for illegal voting
—3 years for any outsiders busting
in and preventing a square legal
•lection. What Alaskans want to
do now is to organize and sec that
the penalties for Seattle Claneyism
in Alaska are forthcoming They
will find that they are not monkey
ing with 6tate and city officials
when they run up against Cncle
Samuel.
Territorialism will be no more of
an issue m tl»e election of a dele
gate than it was in the appoint
ment of a governor. No one has
asked whether Mr Hoggatt was
for or against terrt.orial govern
ment. Ail the Alaskan people de
sire is a man thoroughly identified
with Alaska and who makes this
country his home.—Transcript.
If the Lacey bill, which the dis
patches say is bein^; held up by Sen
ator Nelson,is the miningassessment
bill, the senator will receive a vote
of thanks from practically the
whole population ot Alaska if he
kills it outright. Every section of
Alaska has expressed its desire to
Bee this measure defeated. As to
the division bill it hardly seems
possible that Nelson would try to
kill the measure, which, according
to press reports, caused all the
hard feelings between him and
Judge Wickersham. It has be n
stated several times by Clark that
Nelson’s antagonism to the judge
was on account of the latters oppo
sition to this measure. Why he
should hold up this bill, thinking
to spite the man who opposes it is
incomprehensible. Clark must
have let his lmmagination run
away with him this time.
Jarvis should be proud of his
work on the Alaska fisheries bill.
Instead of having the small tax
discontinued and the cannerits
forced to maintain hatcheries, they
continue to pay the tax and gov
ernment spends all.of the money
received for the benefit of the can
neries. The road fund and Alaska
in general has to suffer that fishing
industry may pros] or.
Municipal ownership will figure
as an isBue in the coming city elec
tion at Juneau. Last year the
fight was on the question of whether
the town’s lid should he sealed on
hermetically or chucked in the
bay. Those favoring a closed down
town were snowed under so deep
they have been unable to dig them
selves out and it became necessary
to find a new issue for the spring
campaign.
