SAFEGUARDS FOR ALASKA
WATERS.
The sInternet that Oambier
bay, where I he State of California
was lost on the coast of Alaska,
has never been officially surveyed
reveals at once one of flic diffi
culties and dangers, and one as
pect of governmental neglect in
connection with navigation in
North Pacific waters.
There should not be an un
surveyed or uncharted bay on the
coast of Alaska.
Masters who take their ships
into tho'se waters, and hazard, in
the ordinary way, the properties
of shippers and the lives of pas
sengers, are entitled to know
where the points of danger are to
be encountered. The Alaska
coast, like the coast of Washing
ton, is not a changing coast. The
shoreline is fixed. Along the
shoreline, in the nature of things,
there are points of danger, rocks
and reefs which ought lo he
marked by the federal govern
ment so that shipmasters can
easily avoid them.
There ought not to he one mile
of unusually and unnecessarily
unsafe travel along the coast of
Alaska, and there would not he
fif the federal; government ‘had
not been criminally neglectful of
navigation needs on the Pacific
coast, and particularly in the
northern waters of this coast.
Tourist excursions, such as the
Jjfealtle Chamber of Commerce
iias completed into Alaska, will
PV an immense amount of good.
> But what is needed now is
something more definite than
mere publicity for Alaska. Pub
licity will do much good. II will
call attention to the resources
and needs of Alaska.
In the meantime, however, we
have a considerable number of
vessels in I be Ala.ska trade. Our
commerce with Alaska is not
small. In I PI 1 Alaska produced
$40,(MM),OOP, including tile sea
and the mineral on I pul, and the
wealth came to the slates.
And in return tin- Alaska s
contribution to the wealth of this
country, we shipped large quan
tities of supplies into Alaska.
Alaska’s business is a growing
business. And if is our business.
There are thirty-seven coun
tries in the world having a com
merce' with the United Stall's
smaller than Alaska’s. Alaska’s
average yearly commerce with
the states is about $55,(100.000.
China's is only $5(1,000,000. Our
commerce with the Hawaiian Is
lands is worth only $51,000,000.
Our commerce with the Philip
pines shows an average of on
ly $23,40(1,000. These are aver
age1' for a series of years.
We have done more for Ihe
Philippines and Hawaii than we
have for Alaska.
The neglect of Alaska, the neg
lect of shipping safeguards par
ticularly, ought not to continue,
a’d the business organizations of
Seattle shon’d see to it that it
does not continue.
Adequate aids to navigation
should be provided for the north
Pacific coast. Sea travel should
be and must be made safer. Nor
should there be any further delay
about it. We have a right to de
mand, and we do demand prompt
action by the federal government,
to the end that the navigation on
this coast may be made as safe
as it is bn the Atlantic coast.—
Tacoma Tribune.
AT ALBANY.
The thoughts bf Americans
turn frequently to Albany, where
(iov. Sulzer is on trial for re
fusing to dance at the crack of
Murphy’s whip. It is true, charges
involving the integrity of the
governor have been regularly
preferred, and let us hope that
they will be heard on their mer
its. But it is hard to belieVe,
notwithstanding the optimistic
assurance of Gov.'Suleer, himself,
that they will be so heard, for
they were not made in good faith.
The Tammany legislature and
the man that owns it care not
for the things that Sulzer is
charged with.1' Many .of jjheijc clfth
have done all that they accuse'
him of and worse without losing
political caste... They care only
that he lias refused to be a cog
in the’ Murphy-driven machine.
Perhaps all this is aside from the
real question of the guilt or in
nocence of Gov. Sulzer, but it is
impossible to disassociate them.
In Alaska al. least, and we be
lieve generally throughout the
country, there is an abiding con
viction that Gov. Sulzer will clear
his escutcheon of stain, and that
he will put hi'1 enemies to flight.
In tile North wo. know the chief
executive of the Empire State as
I he best friend Alaska ever bad in
congress. Elsewhere in the na
tion he is known as a man that
never failed to stand the test of
lire. Whenever the cause of
Alaska was in the balance at
Washington, as often it has been
during the past decade, Sulzer’s
weight has been with those of
this territory. Whenever, in con
gress, national conventions or
elsewhere, men were called upon
to stand and be counted on one
side or the other in the conflict
between the people, and special
privilege, he has stood with the
people.
And that is why Sulzer is be
ing tried. If lie' had been less
true to the people and more of a
timeserver there would be peace
at Albany today instead of an im
peachment I rial.-‘-Juneau Em
pire.
NOT GUILTY.
There is one newspaper pub
lished in Valdez at present whose
only purpose seems to be to at
tack all who do not agree with
its editor. The man who runs
the paper is always “agin” the
majority and he considers it the
soul of newspaper work to con
stantly use offensive language
against his opponents. Like all
such people, he spouts for the
“poor and the distressed,” while
not an ounce of charily or deren
|cy is in his carcass when he is
dealing with others. Ilis printed,
language is of the kind that, ap
peals to low tastes. lie belongs
to the mental stripe that con
j sillers tilth to be essence of clev
erness and he knows that there
art- many like him who take de
light in reading his so-called at
tacks. For them bis fish-wife,
veribage is I Ini height of elo
quence, for they do not know.
He and bis kind are of the class
of newspapermen which has
made newspaper work despised
in many quarters where it ought
to have respect. They are peo
ple whom you cannot, notice be
cause in paying attention to
them you are consenting to step
to their level and engage in a
word light which has a striking
similarity to a discussion be
tween a pair of growling mala
mutes.
Besides, their alleged attacks
are short, lived and they soon
succeed in burying themselves
beneath their own filth. Even at
this moment the paper alluded to
is sinking fast under the weight
of its own slime.—Nome Nugget.
