As the years and conditions pro
gress with us here in Alaska, the
more urgent becomes the necessity
for autftorized representation at
the seat of government. Each com
munity throughout the district, in
its desire to forward the interests
of the country, finds it necessary,
at each session of congress, to have
their locality represented. Men
from each section are chosen and
sent to Washington to present the
heeds of tU-ir neighborhood. As
a consequence an unorganized body
of men representing Alaska arc in
Washington each year clamoring
for needed legislation. They all
mean well and the relief they seek
is more than likely a necessity, but
with each using his individual ef
fort ami fighting for his own local
ity, when taken as a whole, state
ments are bound to vary and ideas
clash, with the result that senators
and congressmen, whoso assistance
is needed, become tired of the whole
business and put us off till next
year, und so it has been going on
for several years with nothing ac
complished. To overcome this)
difficulty, a hill has U-en intro
duced by Senator Nelson providing
for the election of a delegate to the
house of representatives iroiu the
District of Alaska, it is sincerely to
be hoped that this bill will pass,
if it doc* it will be up to the people
of Alaska to set all petty differences
aside and be unanimous in the se
lection of u fit representative. One
is needed who knows the country,
its people and their efforts—a man
of broad mind and lil>eral in his
views. Such a man we believe can
lie found in the person of Judge
James Wickersham. He lias re
sided in Alaska for several years,
and as a jurist has displayed rare
ability. He has traveled all over
the District, both interior and coast
and knows the country and its
needs as probably no other man
does, and having no particular sel
fish interests in any one part, he
can fairly and impartially repre
sent all parts of Alaska, with just
ice to the country, to the people,
ami to the government at large.
We believe that we are voicing the
sentiments of the great majority of
the people of Alaska when we put
forward the name of Judge James
Wickersham for Representative of
the District of Alaska.

The bill introduced in the senate
offers a good solution of the school
question, outside of incorporated
towns. Complaints are being con
tinually made along the coast re
garding Jackson’s management of
schools, and it is to lie expected
when a school is controlled entirely
by a man thousands of miles away,
whose idea of education is that re
ligious training is more essential
to the children than a common
school education. With the schools
under the control of a local board,
elected by the citizens of the dis
trict, a lietter administration of af
fairs may be expected. One-fourth
of the license money collected in
Alaska is sufficient to maintain a
iirstclass school system, provided
the spending of it is taken from the
hands of the present grafting, ecliis
matical incumbent of the office of j
superintendent of education and
given to citizens, who have the wel-'
fare of the children of their district •
at heart. It is to lie hoped the bill
will pass. Jackson can then take)
a position with some missionary!
society, which he is much betti r
adapted for tliau the office lie now
bolds. i
