“THE MAKING OF A REPRESENTATIVE”
Tin r. lias been circulated in lid- vicinity, and probably
throughout the territory, under congressional frank, and presum
:: Jy in the interest of the candidacy of James Wickersham for
congress, a document entitled "The Making of a Representative."
being a speech delivered by the lion. Champ Clark at the National
press Club to “baby congressmen." lake so many “public docu
1,I,.Hi.." published at the cost of the government and circulated
under the franking privilege, it constitutes a rank abuse of that
privilege, as its text is of public concern only in so far as it shows
one of the many methods employed by politicians for maintaining
tlicnisilves m public otliee. Mr. t lark is quoted as sating:
It is an unwise performance for any district to change rep
rcscinatives at short intervals. A new congressman n list
begin at tile foot of the class and spell up. Of course, the
more brains, tact, energy, courage and industry he has, the
quicker he will get up. If he possess these qualities, and if
constituents will keep him in the house, lie is its certain to
use as the sparks are to tlv upward. No human power can
keen him down. It is only fair and rational to assume that
every representative's constituents desire to see him among
the "topnotchers.”
Mr Clark gave a list of the many noted congressmen who
,rr\. ! :!; ir hl-trid- for lengthy periods, and further said:
The best rule, it seems to me, is for a district to select a
man voting enough to learn and to grow, with at least lair
i anaeity, industrious, honest, energetic, sober and courageous,
and keen him here so long as he discharges his duties faith
fully ami well. Such a man will gradually rise to high posi
tion and influence in the house. His wide acquaintance with
members helps him amazingly in doing tilings.
All of which is. of course, intended to show that James Wick
ersliuni. by virtue of Ids several terms in congress, will In- a more
useful public servant than will a new member from Alaska
Charles A. Sulzer. for instance.
There is a great deal of truth in what Mr Clark is reported
as saying. The seniority rule in reference to committee appoint
meats responsible for the fact that new members are handi
capped to a certain extent in their work in behalf of their con
stituents; and it m a condition that cannot very well be avoided
without revolutionizing our whole system of legislative practice.
But it hardly will act to deter the people of a state or territory
from selecting the man of their choice to represent them in the
halls of congress.
One fact that Mr. Clark failed to touch upon in his speech was
that long service in congress, as in other forms of public service,
lies a tendency to make men arrogant and unresponsive to the
wishes of their constituents. A notable case in point is that of
Speaker Cannon, who. after serving m the house for more than
thirty years, was defeated at the pulls, and the reason was to be
found in the fact that by his reactionary attitude he allowed him
self to get out of touch with his constituents, and ignored their
wishes.
J unes Wickersham has been of much service to the territory
during his terms in congress, and up until recently has truly rep
resented the people who elected him. His position of opposition
to President Wilson, however, in this critical stage of .Alaska's de
viloj incut puts him in opposition to the wishes of his constituents.
The people are for Wilson, if for nothing else, in recognition of his
intelligent interest in their affairs and his great plans for the de
xcJopment of the resources of the territory, and Wickersham has
outlived his usefulness as a congressional delegate by opposing
him.

THOMPSON AND PROHIBITION
Tlv- pii’mlit c: iiipaign in behalf of pr.ihi’m'.iou for Alaska has
t'evcl'ipfl s ,me rather amusing situations, not the least of which
:oii ci iii one way or another \\ 1 Thompson, who directs the
dostitiies of the Fairbanks News-Miner, which newspaper is the
li i.oihpiecc of the liquor interests in the fight against prohibition.
Ap| are’ntly under the belief that he had the situation in Alaska
well in hand, so far as the 'wet” propaganda went, Mr. Thomp
son recently invaded Yukon territory to aid in defeating the '‘dry
program there. Now Thompson, so far as known, makes no claim
to consistency. But it may appear a tritie odd that he should
attempt to direct public opinion in a foreign country in behalf of
the liquor interests after indignantly reproaching the ladies of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union who recently visited In
terior Alaska for coming here from Seattle to preach their doc
trines, and, as he put. it, to ‘'dictate” to the people of Alaska re
garding their affairs. But more amusing than this is the recent
pul.licir.ii n in the Dawson News, us a paid advertisement, of the
following:
It is not many months since the imported Fairbanks
"wet" clrmpioii who is making such a frantic fight in the
interests of the liquor men of Dawson was writing in favor of
the “drys" in the Fairbanks News-Miner. His name now ap
pears at the head of the editorial column of that paper as
editor and publisher, and has been there for several years.
The following on "Prohibition” is from the editorial col
umns of the issue of that paper of March 30, 1915:
"With all Russia on the water wagon, as a national ne
cessity and preservation; with the United Kingdom today
facing prohibition more drastic than that of Russia; with
both the New and the Old Worlds finally alive to the growing
curse of alcoholism, we of Alaska might just as well realize
that our representatives at Juneau who are today dealing
with the question of prohibition or local option in Alaska are
not engaged in ‘freak’ work, nor in labors which need not
be considered seriously. Just as sure us..that God made little
apples as well as big ones, the day is not far distant, when
Alaska will be ‘dry,’ and no man who is a true American will
have cause to regret the arrival of that day.
"A man can drink and a man can let drink alone, but no
man on earth is the worse off for having let it alone. While
i ll men realize that the world would be better off without the
saloon and the distillery, most men resent the thought that
they should be legislated upon the water wagon. They realize
that it is the place for them, but they don't want to be driven
to it. Still, unless man is driven to it, he wears out a lot of
clothes climbing on the wagon and slipping off again at inter
vals. No life has been made permanently happy by the pres
ence of the Demon Drink, and millions of homes have been
desolated and untold millions of lives sacrificed that King
Alcohol might maintain his reign. Alcohol’s rule over its
subjects is absolute and inexorable, and there can be no hell
hereafter which will outpoint the hell the alcoholic lives in at
certain periods of life. It will be a grand day for Alaska
when the sale of intoxicants is ended, ami a grander future
than has ever been imagined for Alaska will be hers under the
rule of strict prohibition.”
In the face of his apparent inconsistency, the probabilities are
that Mr. Thompson is less ashamed of having written the above
than he is of his recent screed in which he attacked the lady pro
hibition lecturer.
_▲--—
The Seattle Union Record, a publication devoted to the inter
ests of organized labor, is responsible for the following: “A Re
publican traveling with Mr. Hughes suggested to him that in com
ing to Seattle he should touch on Alaska’s needs and possibilities,
and outlined some of the questions of interest to Seattle and
Alaska citizens. ‘But,’ said Mr. Hughes, ‘the trouble is that I
don’t know anything about Alaska.’ And this man wants to hold
the position of President of the United States, where one of his
important duties will be the supervision of the administration of
Alaska, which has only the most limited local self-government.”
While Alaskans are not allowed to be a factor in presidential elec
tions, they scarcely will desire to see Hughes successful, in view
of his confessed ignorance of the territory and its needs. Neither
will they desire that a candidate for delegate who supports Hughes
in preference to Wilson be successful. Mr, Wilson does know
something about Alaska, and applies that knowledge for its benefit.
-♦-•
The “joker” inserted in the army appropriation bill, which
caused President Wilson to veto the original measure, is said to
have been placed there behind the closed doors of the conference
committee, and its author was Representative Hay, chairman of
the house committee on military affairs. It is said that Mr. Hay
secured his amendment so that General Fred Ainsworth, former
adjutant general of the army, and now retired, might publish safely
! his side in a controversy he had with General Leonard Wood,
while the latter was chief of staff. This controversy led to the
enforced retirement of General Ainsworth.
«*
The comedy portion of the political campaign already is in
evidence. The Anchorage Star carries at the head of its editorial
columns the names of the nominees of the “Progressive Demo
cratic” party. The name of James Wickershnm for delegate heads
this nondescript ticket. It is probable that really “progressive”
Democrats will find no reason for supporting a candidate who is
opposed to President Wilson, who certainly is entitled to be termed
“progressive,” if ever a public servant was.
Under the new revenue law an income of over $20,000 is
penalized by a surtax, or extra tax over that placed upon lower
incomes. Thus, while a $20,000 to $40,000 income pays 1 per
cent tax, a $40,000 to $60,000 income pays 2 per cent, and a
$60,000 to $SO.O00 income pays 3 per cent, increasing
to the limit of 10 per cent in the case of all incomes over $500,000.
The new law makes no changes in the tax upon annual incomes
under $5,000. Provision is made in the law for a federal inheri
tance tax on large estates, varying from 1 per cent on a $50,000
estate to 5 per cent on estates over $150,000.

Interior Alaska this winter will present many scenes of indus
try and much development. With the railroad work progressing
at Nenana. the Tolovuna district inviting attention, and the new
camps of Tolstoi and Marshal! in the throes of construction work,
to say nothing of the various other sections near Iditarod which
will claim the attention of prospectors, there are many splendid
opportunities for men of energy and industry. Interior Alaska is
I coming into its own.
—
This section of Alaska will have two candidates for the legis
lature- A. M. Kilgore of Flat, on the Democratic ticket, and \V. A
Vina! of Ophir on the Independent (Wickersham t ticket. Both
these men are entitled to the support of the voters of this section.
And for that matter, the voters of the entire division ought to
see the ju-tice of allowing the two prominent mining districts which
they represent a voice in the making of the laws of the territory.

It is being gleefully ctdled to the attention of the people of the
country by certain pi.blicatic ns that the majority of the twelve
votes against the child labor bill in the United States senate came
from the South. But that grand old Republican state of Penn
sylvania was well represented in the total. Senator Boies Penrose,
tiie influential and reactionary Republican boss, voted with the
Southerners, as did his colleague Senator Oliver.

The strike of the longshoremen has been a boon to the
men who are working their way through college. Many of
them have taken advantage of the high wages offered to ac
cumulate enough to defray all expenses for the coming year.
—University of Washington News-Letter.
Is it not a rather sad commentary upon our economic system,
or rather lack of system, that the beneficiaries of our great edu
cational institutions, maintained by public funds, which in the
linal analysis are entirely derived from labor, should be enlisted
in the ignoble task of fighting capital’s buttles against labor?
The "boon" which the college men so exultingly speak of is blood
money; and it is such incidents as this which serve to accentuate
the fact that there really is a “class struggle," as the Socialists
maintain. Without entering into the inerts of the controversy
between the workingmen and ther employers, which no doubt
these students and their approving tutors never considered, is it
not most deplorable that a public institution of higher learning
should be used as the recruiting ground for privates in capital's
army ?

It transpires that the manifest of the German submarine which
was so warmly welcomed on its return to Bremen from an Ameri
can port did not disclose that the vessel was loaded with milk for
the "starving German babies."
NOTABLE RECORDS OF ACHIEVEMENT
(New York Weekly Independent I
In a presidential campaign the party in power has the advan
tage of position if it has a good record. It can "point with
pride;” while the opposition can only "view with alarm”; and
when the record is a substantial one the alarm is no easy task.
The ro'vrd of an administration has two sides, the legislative
and the executive. In the oro-ont campaign the Democrati< record
of achievement i- a notable one. Chairman McCormick of the
Democratic national committee has just issued a summary of it.
intended for Progressive consumption. It contains a score of
items:
(I) The rural credits act. which permits the farmer the same
access to credit facilities that is enjoyed by the other elements of
our citizenship.
(2 i The income tax law.
(31 The federal reserve act, which measures up to the Pro
gressive requirement for "the issue ot currency as a governmental
function whose control should be lodged with the government and
should be protected from domination or manipulation by Wall
street or by any sppeial interest.”
(4) The good roads law, which extends federal aid to road
building.
(ot The trade commission law, which fully satisfied the Pro
gressive demand for a "strong federal administrative commission
of high standing that shall maintain permanent, active supervi
sion over industrial corporations engaged in interstate commerce. ’
(6) An eight-hour law applying to work done for the govern
ment as well as work done by the government
(71 An eight-hour law applying to female employes in the
District of Columbia, over which congress has jurisdiction.
(8) An eight-hour provision for postoffice clerks and car
tiers.
(9) An eight hour provision applicable to civilians engaged
in the manufacture of ordnance and powder for the government.
(10) An eight-hour provision as to the mining of all coal to
be used by the navy.
(II) The children's bureau law to promote the welfare of
children and to devise means preventative of the necessities of
parents retarding development of the child
(121 The industrial commission law, to investigate the entire
subject of industrial relations.
(13) The phosphorus match law, to protect the health of
workers in the match industry.
(14) The Clayton anti trust act, embracing the regulation of
the issuance of injunctions.
(15) The department of labor law, creating a department
with a secretary, who shall be a member of the President s cabinet.
(16) The Smith-Lever agricultural education law, which re
sponds to the Progressive demand that measures be taken to lift
"the last load of illiteracy from American youth” by “encouraging
agricultural education and doemstic schools."
(17) The corrupt elections practice act.
(18) Measures abolishing the commerce court and authoriz
ing the interstate commerce commission to make a physical valu
ation of railroads.
(19) The Sherwood pension bill, which must meet the Pro
gressive idea of a “wise and just policy of pensioning American
soldiers and sailors and their widows and children.
(201 The parcel post law.
GERMANY'S REVENGE
(New York World)
Since Mr. Elughes made his speech of acceptance every Repub
lican newspaper in the country has assured us that the speech was
a clear and unequivocal definition of Mr. Hughes’ foreign policies.
Just what those policies are no Republican newspaper has under
taken to explain, but the German-language newspapers, represent
ing the German vote, without which Mr. Hughes has no chance of
election, are under no seal of silence. They frankly interpret Mr.
Hughes as a sympathizer with the 102 Republican members of
the house of representatives, under the leadership of Janies R.
Mann and Joseph G. Cannon, who voted for the kaiser and against
the President on the McLemore resolution.
Many of Mr. Hughes’ supporters have bitterly reproached the
World for its assertion that the Hughes candidacy is the one hope
of the hyphenated elements that are determined to punish the
President for throttling Germany’s campaign of submarine man
slaughter. Facts are facts. Every important German newspaper
in Germany, and every important German newspaper in the United
States,. is supporting Mr. Hughes and “dominant Americanism.”
Mr. Hughes’ election would be Germany’s revenge on President
Wilson, and nobody can make anything else out of it.

Candidate Hughes, who has a German-American vote on his hands
and cannot afford to keep it or throw it away.—New York Masses.

However, the kaiser hardly looks forward with complacency

sides from Berlin.—Washington Post.

YUKON’S LABOR SHORTAGE
An Ottawa dispatch of August 11. re
printed in the Dawson News, says that the
Yukon is being drained of men owing to
enlistments, and the shortage of labor dur
ing the coming fall Will seriously hamper,
if not partially paralyze industry in the
far northern territory, according to J. V.
Boyle of Dawson, president of the Cana
dian Klondyke Mining Company, who is in
Ottaw'a on business. In 'fact, the shortage
is so severe that Mr. Boyle contemplates
making representations to the Dominion
government authorities while in the cap
ital. It has been suggested that the alien
labor law be relaxed to make up the short
age in the Y'ukon, so that laborers could
be secured from the United States.
The mining and construction companies
do not mind the men from the Yukon en
listing. In fact, they would prefer that
these men go, as they are on the whole a
fine type, and most adaptable, is they could
secure other men who could do the work,
even if not quite so efficient.
Mr. Boyle said that since the construc
tion of a government railway in Alaska
many had crossed the border from the Yu
kon and gone to work on the construction
of the new road, so that men could not be
secured from American territory to take
the places of those enlisted. He said that
neither could men be secured in British
1 Columbia.
