To read over the arguments ad
vanced by some of the Alaska
papers in favor of territorial gov
ernment, is like reading the pros
pectus of some fake enterprise. It
Is very glowing in print but the
scheme will not stand investiga
tion. There are along the coast of
Alaska some desirable sites for a
city where the permanent popula
tion consists of about one individ
ual. That individual would be
just as much justified in demand
ing a charter for a full Hedged city
as the permanent population of
Alaska is justified in demanding a
territorial form of government for
this district, where there is about
thirty square miles for'each one of
the white population. Our district
is very new and the population is
increasing, when it gets sufficient
ly large let us join together in
carving out a few states, and avoid
the curse of territorial government
where the people are humbugged
into the belief that they arc govern
ing themselves. We know the
weakness of territorial legislators
of the present day, and we also
know the strength of combined cap
ital, between the two peoj.li who have
other than jtolitieal business to at
tend to would get the muddy end
of the stick. As to law let us take
Arizona as an examjde. There the
court of appeals consists of the
judges whose judgements are ap
pealed from; they sit in a body ex
cepting the judge whose judgement
is being reviewed. As no judge
likes to be reversed there is scarcely
ever a reversal of judgement as
they do not dare to turn down a
judge who will later have a chance
to do likewise when their resist
ive cases come up. Bo notorious
has this practice become that the
court is known as the “affirmative
court,” there having been in the
past but two judgements reversed,
and they were so rank that it was
impossible to sustain them. Do
we want such a state of things in
Alaska? we believe not. We are
not Buffering here for lack of law;
there are many things we need far
more. First of all a good, perman
ent population, and that we are
surely getting. Young folks are
marrying and establishing homes,
and the birth rate fa gradually in
creasing. These are the conditions
that we must look to to build up
our future states, and not to the
enthusiasts who rush in in the
spring and out in the fall. These
latter serve a good and useful pur
pose in exploring and opening the
country for the coming settler, but
they cannot be relied to bear the
burden of a political change. Their
political affiliations are in the
states, and they hurry out in the
fall to exercise their right to a vote
at home, (for proof see the outgo
ing passenger lists.) It might be
said in contradiction that such
would not be the case were they
allowed to vote in Alaska, but the
argument won’t go, for it is safe to
say that fortune favored those now
resident Here, and gave them the
big roll, or what is known as a
home stake, that they came after,
at least eight out of ten would hike
for home. It is one of the wise
dispensations of providence that
we do not always succeed as
we would like to, otherwise this
great addition to the world's grand
future would not be populated un
til nearly stripped of vast stores of
wealth.
