TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT
A writer in the Seattle Times, evidently one of that class of scrib
blers who would rather be credited with being the author of “smart”
sayings than the recorder of plain facts, says:
Solons are to be asked either to give Alaska an enabling act that is useful for other
purposes than those of comic opera and general buffoonery or to take the territory and
run it themselves. Alaskans are weary of the slapstick comedy that is conducted in
the territorial legislature of the country and the laws under which the work is to be car
ried on as a matter of very serious importance. They are inexpressibly tired of playing
the part of the horned ruminant in the extravaganza entitled “Creating an Alaska*
Goat”—a little plavlet staged biennially at Juneau when the territorial legislators meet.
Colonel B. F. Millard, a hold-over senator in the territorial legislature, with the aid of a
lawyer and stenographer, is preparing a bill which, if passed, will give congress the option
of enacting a new territorial government law for Alaska or of rescinding the one now in
vogue.
The above appears as a Washington dispatch, and it would seem that
Senator Millard is in Washington urging his views on Alaska territorial
government. There is no information as to where the senators gets
authority to represent the territory to the extent of giving congress
the option of enacting a new territorial government law for Alaska or
of rescinding the one in vogue. There has been noticeable no crying
need for the course demanded of congress by Senator Millard among
the residents of the territory, and it looks like a piece of impertinence
on the part of the territorial senator to pose in Washington as the
spokesman of the residents of Alaska. The people were under the im
pression that by an overwhelming vote they had recently elected James
Wickersham to that responsibility, by making him Alaska delegate to
congress.
The enabling act under which the Alaska territorial government is
organized places certain restrictions upon the legislation that may be
enacted by the law-making body. That it was a wise provision was
fully demonstrated at the first session of the legislature, and nothing
that transpired at that session would seem to warrant an extension of its
powers. It is also absolutely certain that no sane reason has been ad
vanced for the removal of those restrictions, and to an impartial ob
server it would seem that the Territory of Alaska is provided with all
the territorial government that present conditions warrant, and in view
of the circumstances it might easily be a dangerous proceeding to en
large its scope.
It is true that there has been considerable talk within a certain re
stricted circle of demanding a “full territorial form of government
for Alaska. There has been no attempt to show what the full terri
torial form” would take, or in what manner the people of the terri
tory would be benefited. Presumably it would assume the form of
more salaried positions for professional politicians, with increased cost
of maintenance to the people. But what purpose is to be served or
what needed reforms effected is not made clear.
Alaska is a territory of vast extent and sparse population. In view
of circumstances, the people of the great Interior have but little voice
in the government, and no matter how much the powers of the terri
torial government may be expanded, could be expected to paiticipate
in such government to no great degree. The bulk of the territory s
population is located on the coast, where are situated its principal in
dustries, so far as capital and number of men employed are concerned.
Tftese industries are in the hands of non-residents mostly, and the men
employed are largely aliens, with no interest in the territory s welfare
other than their immediate business and employment. Increased powers
for the territorial government, under present circumstances, would

mean but increased influence for the large corporations, with no direct
benefit to the people.
Merely as a suggestion, let these advocates of a “full territorial form
of government” and increased powers for the legislature be more ex
plicit. Let them inform the people as to what these enlarged powers
are to be, and to what extent the people are to receive benefit there
from. If a reform be worth fighting for, it ought not to be obscured
in mystery and doubt.
In the meantime misguided volunteer advisers of congress would do
better to cease their din in the congressional lobbies about visionary
legislative schemes, which, if persisted in, will make Alaska an eyesore
to members of congress. The great need of Alaska at the present time
is not more legislation, but cheaper transportation, and the surplus
energy of the territory’s well-wishers can best be devoted to smooth
ing the path of the government railroad measures.
WHY SYMPATHY IS WITH THE ALLIES
No true friend of Germany in the United States can wish for her any success that
will convince the masses of her people that true national greatness depends solely oji
military power.
The above sentence, used in the course of a thoughtful and intensely
powerful article in the December Scribner’s Magazine, are those of
swald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post. Mr.
Villard was born in Germany, and is a son of that eminent German
financier whose courage and clearness of vision were large factors in
the building of the Northern Pacific railroad, at a time when it seemed
doomed to failure—Henry Villard—and a grandson of that eminent
American and humanitarian, William Llovd Garrison.
In his remarkable article, “Germany Embattled, Mr. Villard, with
Teutonic pride in the accomplishments of his native land, reviews the
wonderful progress in the arts and sciences, in industry and commerce,
of Germany during the past forty years of peace and progress. He
describes her military machine and its wonderful efficiency, and out
lines her diplomacy. He recites in detail the events leading up to the
present conflict, and without extenuation he notes the charges and
counter-charges of duplicity on the part of Great Britain and Germany.
He states the facts as he finds them. He passes no judgment on the
charges of barbarities in the Belgian campaign, nor on the oft-repeated
assertions of Britain’s insincerity on the subject of Belgian neutrality.
He finds no excuse for the British position, nor does he uphold that of
Germany.
But in seeking for the reason of the genera! sympathy with the
allies in the great struggle he finds it in the fact that the American
people abhor the doctrines enunciated by the German militarists, of
whom Von Bernhardi is the living spokesman, and which dominates
the German government, whether it represents the sentiments of her
people or not. In the doctrine that might makes right; that true na
tional greatness is founded upon military strength; that national mo
rality must be subservient to military necessity, he finds a threat against
democratic government the world over, which is viewed in America
with horror and repugnance, and which, without reference to the
j causes of the war, preclude American sympathy with Germany s posi
j tion. _
The Seward Gateway is inclined to be somewhat critical on the sub
ject of poetry, and asserts that Alaska “has more poets to the square
acre than any other country o nthe civilized earth has to the square
mile.” Continuing, the Seward newspaper says: “ihe less a man
knows about the art of poetry writing the more is he inclined to write
it,” and “to be able to express thoughts worth while in beautiful lan
guage and in a language that conveys the meaning clearly as a photo
graph is poetry, an dthat means that poetry is one of the fine arts.”
If the Gateway’s test were to be generally applied, much that has here
tofore been regarded by the world as poetry would be ruled out.
English literature is adorned with verse whose subtle meaning is far
from being conveyed “clearly as a photograph,” and whose beauties
require more than a casual reading to fathom their depths. Many a
humble poet likewise expresses his emotions and observations in verse
in such pleasing manner as to provide enjoyment to his readers, and
yet falls far short of artistic standards. While much so-called poetry
is written that lacks merit as such, the poet should not be banished
because he does not achieve eminence, for many times one of these
dreamers gives expression to thoughts and sentiments that come as
a ray of light on an otherwise prosaic and sometimes gloomy wo rid.
Somebody has been whispering in the Colonel’s ear. A recent dis
patch says: “ ‘The public is tired of me,’ wrote Colonel Roosevelt to
Dr. Henry Coe, the Oregon leader of the Progressive party, a short
time ago. Dr. Coe states the Colonel also wrote that he was not a
| candidacy for the presidency, and would not be.
VON KLUCK
General Alexander H. R. Von Kluck,
commander of the German right wing
whose spectacular march upon Paris, and
even more spectacular retreat, have focused
the attention of the whole world upon him,
will be 69 years old on May 20 next. He
w>as born in Munster, and his father w'as a
commoner of no influence. Young Kluck
(his “von” is very recent) became an en
sign in the Sixty-fifth regiment of infantry
when he was 20. and saw service a few
months afterward in the Austro-Prussian
war of 1866, in which he won a lieutenancy.
In this modest rank, says the Baltimore
Sun, he remained for seven years, despite
the fact that he fought gallantly in the
Franco-Prussian tvar of 1870-71, and was
twice severely wounded before Metz, and
got the Iron Cross for valor. In 1873 he
was promoted to a captaincy, and three
years later he was made adjutant of the
Twenty-eighth brigade of infantry. During
the remainder of the 70’s he served with
various commands as a captain, helping to
drill the huge army that the new Germany
was gradually bringing into training.
Meanwhile ne nacl attracted tne atten
tion of old Helmuth von Moltke, the victor
of 1870' and in 1881 he was made a com
pany commander in the school for officers
at Julich. In 1884 he was transferred to
the school at Annaburg, and three years
later he was made a major and transferred
to Neubreisach. It was during this time
that his remarkable grasp of military sci
ence began to show itself. He was one
of the young officers who battled steadily
and persistently for modern artillery, ‘mod
ern equipment and modern methods, and
bit by bit he forced his views upon his su
periors. In 1893 he was transferred back to
the line as lieutenant colonel of the Sixty
sixth regiment, and in 1896, at the age of
50 he got his colonelcy. His first com
mand was the Thirty-fourth regiment of
foot.
By this time Kluck’s unusual capacity be
gan to be thoroughly understood in the
highest circles, and he kept on climbing
the ladder. In 1899 he was made a major
general, in 1902 a lieutenant general, and
in 1896 he was put in command of the
Fifth army corps. In the same year he
w'as promoted to the high rank of general
of infantry, and was transferred to the
First army corps, with headquarters on
the Russian frontier, and in 1911 the kaiser
granted him the right to use “von” before
h\6 name, and so lifted him to equality
with the aristocrats of the general staff.
During his term of service in Eastern
Prussia Kluck was engaged upon the con
struction of the long chain of submerged
forts which the Germans now rely upon to
keep the Russians out of Berlin. These
forts, according to the best available ac
counts* are quite different from those that
the Great German “Busy Berthas” have
been pounding to pieces at Antwerp. They
are flat with the ground and present no
target whatever. The great guns with
which they are mounted are in deep pits,
and arise on disappearing carriages only
at the moment of firing. How many such
forts the Germans have between Dantzig
fand Allenstein is not known, but it :is
hly probable that they are not more
n two or three miles apart.
A short time before war was declared
Von Kluck was made inspector general—•
there are but eight in the whole German
army and put in command of the Second,
Fifth and Sixth army corps, with head
quarters in Berlin. His office, of course,
made him a member of the general staff,
and he took a leading part in those prepara
tions that have contributed so much to
the amazing progress of the German army.
Kluck is essentially an infantry com
mander, and his great dash through Bel
gium and Northern France to the very gates
of Paris was made almost wholly with foot
soldiers. In the course of this dash he
broke all the world’s marching records.
After the first battle with the British, at
Mons, he pushed forward four whole army
corps at the rate of twenty-five miles a
day, and after his delay at Cambrai, which
allowed the retiring British to get a day’s
start on him, he proceeded for a while
even faster.
So speedy was the movement of his army>
in fact, that it came in contact with the
outer ring of Paris forts before the force
under Von Boehn, on his left, had covereed
much more than half the distance from
the Belgian frontier. As a result Von
Kluck was compelled to turn sharply east
ward, and so march across the front of the
French position. His successful accom
plishment of this maneuver, in the face of
400,000 fresh French troops, not to men
tion the British retreating in front of him,
made him stand out as the first truly ar
resting figure of the war. And his suc
cessful resistance of all efforts to envelop
him since has made even the French ac
knowledge his amazing capacity as a leader.
As for the Germans, they feel secure with
Kluck in the field. His tremendous enter
prise and unshakable pertinacity recall
forcibly the tactics of Stonewall Jackson.
Like Jackson, he is a scientific soldier, and
like Jackson he is also of vast daring and
resourcefulness in the field.
A CHANT OF HATE
(By Ernest Lls.sauer, In Jugend. Rendered

French and Russian, they matter not,
A blow for a blow and a shot for a snot;
We love them not, we hate them not,
We hold the Weichsel and Vosges-gale.
We have but one and only hate;
We love as one, we hate as one,
We have one foe and one alone.
He is known to you all, he is known to
you all.
He crouches behind the dark gray Rood,
Full of envy, of rage, uf craft, of gall,
Cut off by waves that are thicker than
blood.
Come, let us stand at the judgment place,
An oath to swear to, face to face,
An oath of bronze no wind can shake.
An oath for our sons and their sons to take.
Come, hear the word, repeat the word;
Throughout the Fatherland make it heard.
We will never forego our hate.
We have all but a single hate;
We love as one, we hate as one,
We have one foe and one alone —

SECRETARY LANE’S REPORT
ON ALASKA MATTERS
The following is the full report of the
secretary of the interior on Alaska matters
as received Thursday:
“Hope has again come to the heart of
the waiting Alaskan in the promise of a
railroad that shall pierce the mountains of
the coast and reach the great Interior of
this beautiful and promising land. The
commission of engineers appointed by you
to survey possible routes, which has with ,
is force spent the summer in Alaska, has
already returned, and will in a short time
submit to you its plans and surveys upon
which may be based a conclusion as to the
route and character of the railroad to be
built. Four coast points have been consid
ered as possible termini—Cordova, from
which now runs the Copper River & North
western railroad, which could be extended
northerly through the Chitina valley to
the Tanana; Valdez, from which now runs
an excellent government road, extending
through the Chitina valley to Fairbanks;
Portage Bay, on the west coast of Prince
William sound, where no settlement now
exists, but which could be connected with
Turnagain arm by tunnel, and so on north
erly through the Susitna valley to Fair,
banks; Seward, from which now extends
the Alaska Northern for seventy- two miles
to the eastern end of Turnagain arm.
“Although the bill authorizing this work
did not become law until March 12. 1914.
the commission of engineers had been ap'
pointed, their subordinate engineers and
other employes had been selected, their
horses, supplies, boats and outfits had been
bought, and they were in Alaska and at
work by the earliest day in summer when
their work could be undertaken.
“Congress supplemented its railroad bill
by the passage of another act of no less
significance, a bill providing for the leasing
of the great coal fields of Alaska. As this
is virtually the first bill to pass congress
authorizing the leasing of any of our re
source.-. it may be well to outline its pro
visions. It first provides for a survey of
the coal land? of Alaska, preference to be
given to the Bering river. Matanuska and
Nenana fields. These fields would doubtless
supply the needs of the far West for many
years if made accessible. The Nenana
field is some thirty miles from the Tanana
river, and could feed the great Interior,
while the Matanuska is but a short distance
from Cook inlet, on the coast, and the
Bering river field is near Controller bay
and the city of Cordova. In the two best
fields (Matanuska and Bering river) a res
ervation is to be made for the government,
not alone to supply the needs of our ships,
but to be operated in the event that the
price of coal is raised to such a figure by
monopoly as to make this price value. The
surveys are to be in forty-acre blocks, and
the leases are not to exceed 2.560 acres,
which is the average coal operation of the
United States. As a coal mine under mod
em conditions is much more than a tunnel
or a shaft, requiring a plant costing from
a quarter to a half million dollars, it was
necessary to moke the acreage large enough
to justify such an expenditure The leases
are to be awarded through competitive bid
ding or otherwise, under general regulation?
made by the secretary of the interior, with
a minimum royalty payable to the govern
ment ot 2 cents a ton and an annuai rental
of from 25 cents to $1 per year per acre
applicable on the royalty. This last pro
vision as to rental is to make it onerous
to held lands undeveloped. The leases
are to be for not more than fifty years,
subject to renewal on new terms.
“The utmost care was taken by congress
to guard against monopolization of the
fields. Railroads are not permitted to hold
more of these lands than will supply their
•wn needs. Leases may be transferred only
with governmental consent. No one may
be a shareholder or otherwise have an in
terest in more than one holding. And for
violation of its general and specific pro
hibitions criminal penalties may be imposed.
Provisions against waste and for care in the
operation of the mines ere required in each
lease The safety and wetfare of the miners
are safeguarded, and an eight-hour day for
underground workers is specified. Wages
shall be paid twice a month, and the com
pany store as a compulsory base of pur
chase is frowned on. The miners are to be
insured the fair and just weighing of the
coal mined, and other measures may be pro
vided in the lenses which may be needed
‘for the protection of the interests of the
United States, for the prevention of monop
oly, and for the safeguarding of the public
welfare.’
“Leases may be forfeited by appropriate
proceedings in court for non-compliance
with the provisions of the lease or of gen
eral regulations, and the lease may provide
for enforcement of other appropriate reme
dies therein.
“To care for the strictly local and do
mestic needs for fuel, provision is made
that a limited license or permit, for ten
acres, and running for not more than ten
years, may be granted to any person with*
out payment of royalty. As Alaska con
tains may scattered coal veins easily acces
sible from mines and towns, this is a pro
vision that it is thought will make for gen
eral relief. Having provided in this man
ner here most generously stated against
hose conditions which have arisen within
the United States, and which have threat
ened Alaska, congress has restored the coal
lands of Alaska to the world’s use.
“Just as congress is advancing funds for
the Indians with which to buy cattle and
horses and plows, and thus make their other
assets available and eventually make them
self-supporting, so congress also by this bill
and by its Alaska railroad bill takes a long
step toward making Alaska resources so
available as to pay Alaska’s cost of develop
ment.
As in my report of last year, I again
suggest that there is but one businesslike
way of dealing with the removed affairs of
so great a territory, and that is by the
creation of a new piece of administration
machinery which I have designated descrip
tively as an Alaskan development board,
Alaska should be administered as a unit
by men upon her soil In a report sent
to congress I have shown the confusion and
curious admixture of official functions which
now obtain as to Alaskan matters a veri
table Babel of official voices. Were is no
reason that appeals to me against placing
the internal resources of that territory un
der the supervision of a commission of
presidential appointees, who will give a
constructive note to this work and advance
the interests of Alaska by prompt and far
sighted administration of the policies which
congress shall declare. There is to be a
large movement toward this new land in
the next few years; it has, indeed, already
begun. To gather into one 6heaf the powers
now so widely scattered among various de
partments would make for the efficient man
agement of the government’s interests and
give form to the faith that the federal gov
ernment is to have a continuing policy of
concern for the affairs of the territory."
