JAMES WICKERSHAM
The forthcoming campaign fur delegate to congr.■;s front
.\la*ka is somewhat complicated by doubt as to where James
Wicker-ham, the present delegate and supposed candidate for
re election, stands with reference to the various ['arty groups of
the territory. Originally a Republican, he has been triumphantly
returned to emigres- on a non-partisan ticket at each recurrence
of he biennial elections, lie announces himself a- a Progressive
ib'oublii-an, and his name was mentioned among the delegates
the Progressive convention at Chicago which nominated Rouse
veil, and which failed to effect a reunion with the old party. It
i- not indicated from whence his credentials were obtained. Some
time ago he called himself a "Wilson Progressive," and in May
this year he was offered a ennditi. mil nomination by the Alaska
Republican territorial convention, which he ignore-!. Now he is
aid to be seeking the Republican nomination through means of
separate indorsement- by the various divisional Republican eon
volitions. But herein 1-es the cause of dissatisfaction among those
who have followed his banner unqueslioniugly in the several dif
ferent campaigns no definite word comes from him a- to wnat
e- arse he h.-.s heckled upon or what ticket he will deign to honoi
,:h hi- name. The statements published in Alaska newspaper*
iim: -‘it i- said" that Delegate Wickershum will take sncli and

safed.

_* i, i strings attached to the nominal inn offered by the Republicans
a- : n, ieii at Seward it would have heen accepted by Mr. Mick
ersham. If it be possible to sceitre the indorsement- of the four
ilivisional Republican conventions which assemble litis month, the
ma ter of selecting a candidate lor delegate, which was left to a
select committee by the tetritorial convention, will lie taken from
the hand' >-f that Ciimmittee and Mr. \\ irkc-Jinm s ntt’ne will
a; t ear on the Republican ticket. .-\ nirect statement from Mr.
Wiekersham would simplify matters; but in the absence of su-h
statement the people mu-l draw their own conclusions. And the
judgment can ted be avoided that Mr. Wiekersham is endeavoring
to gobble the Republican organizati 01 under circumstances which
would leave him in supreme control of tin- party machinery. The
further conclusion is obvious that it: the event that mutters so
shape themselves as to meet his demands, a straight partisan tight
will lie inaugurated, relying on the supposed Republican majority
tn the territory for success.
Presuming such to tie Mr. Wiekersham'.-' program (and it is
admitted that it is mere conjecture, in the absence of definite an
nouneenjent of his attitude', the delegate and many of his whilom
suppoiors have come to the parting of the ways. One of the
main features of Mr. Micker-ham - strength heretofore has been
that his candidacy was based upon a non-partisan nomination.
Prom the mere politician’s vewpoint the status given the did-gate
by an election on a non-partisan ticket t- unsatisfactory, to say
lit;' least: being neutral, he is unable to build ttt' a political ma
chine for his further advancement or retention of oftio '. He can
not reward his supporters nor punish his enemies by bestowing
ir withholding appointmetus to office. There is a strong preb
ability that the failure to accept the Seward nomination was due
to the fact that the patronage of the territory was to be eon
trolled by tite national committeeman instead of by the delegate.
Pew men in public life ever had as staunch a lollowrtiv as had
James Wiekersham in iii- various contests lor delegate. These
were by no means confined to his own party. In fact, it was the
,t. sire for the diniuial: >n of partisanship from territorial affairs
that knitted together many different elements under his leader
ship. Relieving in his integrity, admiring his courage, and con
ceding his great ability and energy, the voters cared not what ho
political b' liefs wer so long as he served Alaska; and in tins
spirit he was returned by increasing majorities. If at thi- stave
' f affairs he shall deem it wi.-e to n turn to the t Id method „f par
t an catifotisning. involving as it does the repudiation t f the
Wilson administration, in spite of the far sighted policy which
has been adopted J ivvcrd .Alaska, many of his friends will be bit
terly disappointed, and will refuse longer to blindly billow a leader
who should be guilty of ,-uch ingratitude.
The acceptance by James Wiekersham of the Republican nomi
na,ion, buseil upon a platform condemning the only national ad
min’-traticii which ha- shown an intelligent interest in .Alaska
and it.- people, will be taken as a direct affront by many former
ipporters. And if it be determined to make a partisan campaign
ill bet:.,If Ilf Wiekersham. so lot it be. It i- confidently believed
that the people of this territory will with their ballots express a
v, te i.f confidence in President Wil- n and his administration.
The discussion as to whether the recent naval battle of Horn
Beef, oft the Danish coast, was really a German victory or not,
l': 1,0 merrily on. According to German accounts, the British sus
tained the heavier losses. According to British statements, the
Germans lost fully as much tonnage as their opponents, anti were
less able to bear the losses. The British point to the fact that
the German naval officials admit falsifying their losses “for mili
tary rettM'ttis." and therefore their accounts cannot in any case be
relied upon. However, in determining the fact of victory, it is
necessary to recall that the British fleet was engaged in the task
i t preventing the escape of the German naval vessels to the open
sea. The Gentians started to break through the blockade, ami
after t! e battle were compelled to put back to port, leavmg the
British in possession of the battlefield. The British were success
ful in their object, de-pite heavy losses; the Germans vena un
successful. and likewise sustained serious losses. The matter of
1 does not affect the outcome of the fight, and the condo
sl ut seenm unavoidable, in spite of the technical expl nations,
that ti.<- British really were the victors.
AFTER THE WAR
On! of all the speculative matter that has been published with
ri faience to the outcome of the great war. one thing is clearly
apparent, and that is that there are bound to be radical adjust
ments of the economic conditions heretofore existing. There is
more to the restlessness of the working people of Great Britain
than appears on the surface, and the many strikes that have taken
place, and the reluctance of certain workingmen's organizations
to encourage enlistments, will cause the British government and
people to search earnestly for the cause and to apply the remedy.
I'nder the leadership of such modern statesmen as Lloyd George
li.e problems to lie worked out will be on a plane of broader
humanity than have heretofore governed in the determining of
Great Britain's domestic and world politics. Already there are
evidences of this readjustment of economic conditions in the
breaking up of immense landed estates because of the impossi
bility of meeting the taxation made necessary by the war; and
the placing on the market of large tracts of hitherto unproductive
land is bound to be one of the beneficial effects of the new condi
tion-, It even begins to look as though the British aristocracy —
that useless if picturesque institution which is so intertwined with
llnglisli history were bound to receive a serious shock. Titles
without lauded estates and a subservient tenantry are mere
baubles. The British workman clearly has come to the conclu
sion that if he is to be expected to fight for Britain and her pas
sessions he shall partake more extensively in the rewards of
Britain’s commanding position in the world; and the result will
be a leaning more and more to socialistic or communistic ideals.
\ returned traveler recently said:
“The British people are learning things. The nobility and the
rich are being inoculated with the spirit of democracy. The dross
i- being purged away. The working classes are living on a higher
scale than ever before, and they never will consent, to go back to
the old condition of affairs.”
That the war also is responsible for dissatisfaction with exist
ing economic conditions in other countries than Great Britain
is evident also. It must be rather discouraging for the common
soldier to realize that while he is daily risking his life in behalf
of his country, and while his dependents are existing on the pit
tance doled out by a harassed and necessarily economical govern
ment, the families of the “idle rich” continue to flaunt their ad
vantages in the faces of their less fortunate countrymen and
women. Somewhat of the dissatisfaction thus engendered is being
allowed to come to light; and a recent Associated Press dispatch
from Munich is interesting. It is as follows:
“iJaron Von Grundh&rr, Munich's police president, who recently
attracted wide attention through his orders to the policemen to
arrest women whose clothing was not consonant with the spirit
of war times, has just made a flaming attack, in an address at a
public meeting here, on speculators in foodstuffs, selfishly luxuri
ous livers, vain and overdressed women, tiasbv war literature
and other unpleasant concomitant aspects. He quoted the remark
of a furloughed soldier, who declared: ‘1 can’t stand it here any
longer. When I think of all the heavy sacrifices we have to make
out at the front 1 can’t endure this lazy dissipation.*
“Baron Von Grundherr contrasted ‘concerts in cafes, where
rouged ami bepowdered women, girls and children, paired off with
thoughtless men about town.' squander money for luxuries, with
j the spectacle of thousands of women of the working cla-ses wait
ing from 1 o’clock in the morning for six or seven hour* in norm
and rain to get a small piece of meat from the municipal meat
.halls at a price which they can with difficulty pay. He com
mented on the manner of life of many rich people, for whom the
war appears not to .wist, and who give their usual entertainments
and feed their gue-ts ‘with the help of shameless tradesmen who
-ieroily supply them.’
“ ‘ThW verdict of the soldier sounds hard, hut his feelings can
be comprehended. The troops feel that they are lighting for high
things, for refinement and culture. They are painfully affected
when they ree the opposite of ad this at home. One suffers hun
ger gladly for friends of pianinos and moderation; one dies gladly
for Herman simplicity and idealism. But it is hard to mak'* sac
iifices for speculators and seekers after pleasure, for selfish, • uper
keial rounders and hoarders of foodstuffs, for vain, coquettish
women, because they are not worthy of these sacrifices.’ ”
THE PROHIBITION REFERENDUM
The people of Alaska are u.-kcd to give an “expression" as to
whether or not intoxicating liquors shall be munufa lured or sold
in the territory of Alaska after the first day of January, 1918,
and this "expression" is to lie rendered at the coming election in
November, when, "in the even the certificate of the canvassing
board shall show that the majority of the electors voting upon
this question have declared against the sale, mnmd.alure, barter
or exchange of intoxicating liquors in the territory of Alaska, as
herein provided, no wholesale or retaal license shall be i- tied for
the sale, manufacture, barter or exchange of intoxicating 1 quors
in the territory of Alaska after the first day of January, 191S.”
The referendum is being taken •eriomlv by both the prohibi
tionists and the representatives of the liquor dealers. Prohibition
lecturers are touring the territory in advocacy of the proposition
for a “dry" territory, and the Alaska newspapers are tilled with
paid advertisements in the form of more or le-.- fantastic "argu
ments’' against the adoption of the measure, or rather tiie giving
of a favorable "expression” by the voters.
A ratlur interesting situation is presented by this so-called
“prohibition referendum,” and at first glance it would seem that
the threatened liquor dealers are going to a lot of unnecessary
trouble and expense to defeat a proposition which would be
thrown out of court without a moment’s hesitation on the part
of any judge called to pass upon it. Ill the first place, the terri
tory of Alaska is expressly prohibited in its enabling act from
legislating on the liquor question. Again, there is no provision
in the emit ling act or .‘l ev.-hen for the taking of .such referendum
vote. And lastly, even ill the event of the "ex: pc- toil” o| the
voters being in favor of prohibition, such expression would have
no effect on the present law. I.ieen-us for the manufacture and
s: le of liquor in .Alaska are issued under corn-res.- uml act, by the
courts of the various judicial divisions. Those lie eases may be
withheld even now land are so withheld in seve:.,l communities
ill the territory i where the approval of a majority of the voters
ha not been obtained fur their is u:i;a-e. A favorable "rr.pivs
sum" of the pent le of the entire territory would not the
courts in their administration of tie- present lav
Why. tlutc it may be asked, go to the trouble of eneutne ring
the election ballots with this ttmeses s try measure? Why do not
the attorneys for the liquor inti-rests, who are -o active m the
propaganda against prohibition, ask the courts to nullify the act
of the legislature?
The answer is that while the liquor interests do not fear the
action of the territorial legislature, which no au'lmrity in the
matter, they do fear th • action of the United States congress.
There are several measures pending in '■■•ng-css for the p: one
thin of the liquor traffic in Alaska and other sections of Unci'
Sam’s domain dirceriy under his jurisdiction should the pe : ! -
of Alaska express a desire for the continuance of the traffic. it
is doubtful whether congress vv add force p: bibi’mn upon tiiem.
In the absence of such an expression, or should the i sopie vote
in favor of prohibition, there is l!pic d. ut that Ali-k:i won! 1 he
made "dry” by eafpcie-.sp.na.l act! u. Hence the an:: • "y oi the

(Seattle Times'
That Alaska will receive kind consideration r.t Washing* m,
I). (\. in the event that a Republican admini-ira'i >:i is elect*’
th< opi : n of Willi i A (lilm re. former
of the delegates to the Republican national conv nti- a. Alaska,
he said in Seattle today, went down the line for the nomin.Hon
<-f Hiigbes, and the delegates were useful in n any ways to Hughes
supporters. It was the Alaska delegation that started the “We
want Hughes” propaganda in opposition to the "We want Teddy
yell.
“The Progressives,” said Gilmore. “had everyth.ng but the
delegates. They had all the Lands that hadn’t been hired months
before, and they bought up all the licke - for public out.- in the
Republican convention. The delegates, however, refused to be
st ampeded.”
Gilmore said that the Alaska Republicans have not yet de
cided whether they will nominate a candidate for delegate to eon
1 gross in opposition to Charles Sulzer, a brother ot the farmer g< v
| ernor of New York, who is nominated on the Democratic ticket.
“James Wickersham, the present delegate,” Gilmore said,
“doubtless will call some kind of a convention and renominate
himself.
“Wickersham wanted to put his name on the Republican tick
ets at the primaries at which representatives and senators in the
i territorial legislature will be nominated,” said Gilmore, “but hav
! ing formerly run as a Democrat and a Progressive, the Repub
licans felt that they could not accept him unless he would accept
the nomination as a Republican and accept the Republican plat
form.”
Gilmore said that the coming campaign is developing into a
hot (,ne. and already efforts are being made to prove that the
! Republican candidates are residents of Seattle, and not of Alaska.
George Schofield, candidate for attorney general, has a house in
Seattle. His children attend the I'niversity of Washington. (\
D. Muran?. national committeeman, also keeps his family in Se
attle during the school term, but according to Gilmore, their only
income-bearing property is in Alaska. The point is that repre
I sentatives of Alaska newspapers already are taking photographs
j of these houses to be used in the campaign, with a view to mak
ing it appear that Alaska politics are being run by Seattle resi
! dents.

Persons living in the States are wont to commiserate with
Alaskans when the subject of weather is mentioned. However,
the stories coming front the East at this time of year make the
average Alaskan congratulate himself that his lot is east in such
a favored land. One can better light the pesky mosquito than
fight for breath in a sultry atmosphere from which there is no
escape. The sufferings of the denizens of the large cities at this
season of the year are pitiful in the extreme, and the loss of life,
especially among infants, is most distressing.

Tlie execution by the Germans of the captain of a merchant
man which attempted to ram a submarine is suggestive of pun
ishing a person who resents the attack of an assassin or highway -
man. If persons who are attacked by thugs should always sub
mit without a struggle it would not only simplify matters, but
would remove the element of'risk from an otherwise unattractive
occupation. But it would be establishing a bad precedent.

While the attempt to revive the Progressive party might com

POPULAR FAIRBANKS MAN
MAY HAVE MET DEATH
_
Ralph Giililar.il, a popular young man of
Fairbanks, is believed to have met an un
timely death in the treacherous waters of
the Tanana river. There has been no di
rect proof of his death, but the circum
stances surrounding his disappearance and
the finding of his boat strongly indicate
that he will never be seen alive again, ac
cording to the Fairbanks Times of July 17.
Ralph Gilliland left Fairbanks early on
the morning of July 15 for Non ana. He
traveled in a poling boat, and floated down
stream as far as Chena, where he stopped
for a couple of hours before proceeding on
his way. He reached Davis’ place in safety,
and left there about 3 o clock in the nFor
noon. He stated to Mr. Davis on his de
parture that he was going to cruise timber,
and that he would stop at Hadley’s place.
But Hadley had not seen him. It is under
stood that he intended to make stops at all
the camps on the trip to Nenana. He ex
pected to be in Nenana within a few days.
Searching parties sent out returned to
Fairbanks holding out but little hope that
the young man will be found alive.
