Editor Prostwtok.—The papers
of southeastern Alaska, in their
rnbid utterances clamoring for ter
ritorial government, have recently
gone so far as to propose the set
ting up in Alaska of a form of ter
ritorial government, and the legis
lative hotly of which to elect a del
egate to congress, and in case he is
refused recognition to go it alone
and govern Alaska.
Last week the Valdez News, ap
perently for want of some tetter
thought, chimes in with the other
anarchists, anti practically advo
cates rctellion and robbery.
Alaska bought by the United
States is the property of all the
states. It is governed and cared
for by the representative of the
United States—the national gov
ernment.
1 ho fortunes of wnr nave recently
given the United States much s< gre
gated territory. Statesmanship,
for the strengthening and mainten
ance of the Monroe doctrine
and its spirit, it* now considering
the advisability of adopting an un
written rule, or possibly a constitu
tional amendment, to the effect
that non-contiguous terrritory shall
not be admitted to the brotherhood
of states. Should this be agreed
ujion it will tie because the wisdom
of the country deems it best for the
nation as a whole. In all their
acts the national government must
consider the good and safety of the
entire nation and all its depend
encies.
Should congress decide that Alas
ka cannot have territorial govern
ment nor become one of the United
States, it is very difficult to say
what the inhabitants of Alaska
could do about it, if-anything.
To set up an unauthorized gov
ernment here would be reliellion
pure and simple. For such a gov
ernment to send a delegate to con
gress would be an impudence that
would cause resentment, and such
delegate could lie imprisoned for
treason, also his associates. And for
such a government to attempt to
hold and govern Alaska would he
a robbery that would not be jier
mitted.
inking nil the inhabitants of
Alaska to-day they do not own nor
can they legally claim one-thou
sandth part of its area, and much
they do claim is hy mere squatter’s
right. So what rights have wc
compared to the United States as
a whole?
The national government is do
ing for Alaska. During this year
with road and geological surveys,
the telegraph line, the ocean cable,
light houses, fisheries and other
aids to development, it will spend
over $1,000,000, not to mention the
maintenance of the court, peace of
ficers, St. Louis exhibit, drc. No
measley territorial government,
with its seat atSkagway or Juneau,
could accomulish this or anything
approaching it.
The sensible, reasoning people of
Alaska are not asking for territor
ial government because for many
reasons it is inqiossible. And they
will not reliel and defy the i>arcnt
government. So of what use is all
this hysterical shrieking, except to
show the particular kind of fools
some people can l»c. Vox Poeuu.
Gold nuggets have Iteen found in
bornite copper ore from several of
the copper claims around White
horse. This is a rure occurence
in nature. Samples have been sent
to the World’s Fair.
At the time of the last election
there was some talk by the newly
elected councilmen of framing a
registration ordinance requiring all
voters to register l>efore the election.
This is a good idea and should not
be ov rlooked by the council. Other
Alaskan towns all have such a law,
and in fact it is the only way in
which elections can he managed
with fairness, it practically bars
all illvgnl voters.
According toWinnijieg dispatches
John McNumara, a New York cap
italist, representing an American
syndicate that proposes to invest
fifteen million dollars in construct
ing a railroad to the Yukon, with
a Pacific ocean stenmlioat connec
tion, passed through that place in
the latter part of April, enroute
for this section, lie lias failed to
put in an appearance here, and
sotm-Uiing should he clone to ascer
tain what has become of him or
when he will arrive. We don’t
want to miss any of these fifteen
million or thirty-five hundred dol
lar railroads, and besides think of
the excuse his arrival would give
us for another banquet.
The ]>eoplc around Kodiak arc
slow. If, instead of advertising a
find of “chloride of gold,” they
would make it bi-chloride and start
a Kcelev cure institute, they would
coin money.
