When it comes right down to
dating reasons to tie president
why Uradv snould not remain in
-cdLLtc, the only one that can lie
produced in that he lias had two
term*andthat Perkins wants the
plum.
So- .-4low their joy over the re
moval oi Judgo Brown, Bita people
d Junaau got out every available
musical instrument in the town,
and’had a jolliticution. It must
Have l»een very g.tttffying to his
Honor to he shown so forcibly how
*■-!»;# public regards- him.
ta attempt is- being made to in*
'Juce Judge Wickershani to extend
the town limits so as to include the
Reservation. A petition faom the
■tiperaatiouists, asking for such a
change, ha* been submitted, and at
an eleution last year the citizens of
^alde.v declared* themselves-in fa
•V)r. of-it.. It i.+ to- be hoped that
Ac judge will see his-way clear to
make the desired order. It is di
rectly in lino with hi»expressions
regarding the right of the people to
'Have the say in- matters- which ef
fect thorn alone, and is no more
"•hail justice. Under present con
ditions the citizens of Valdez* are
♦upporting a school,, which is at
tended largely l»v children from the
Reservation..who pay no-port ion-of
-he school expense.
Jhut Judge Wickersham was re
.tppointed without delay, as soon
.is the rsport of Judge- Day was
made to the president, is sufficient
• evidence of the lack of foundation
her-any of the clmrges made against
him. The residents of the Third
division of Alaska ane certainly
fortunate in having a judge who
eaa stand an investigation, such as
■Judge Day made,, and come out of
it clear of any taint of inefficiency
'•3'misconduct. \\ ickerslaun is- too
popular in this dictrict to rccyuire
any eulogy am is, and. that his
popularity is general will he prov
en if the opportunity should come,
U in tv, for tliu pniyle
in u .siiil Lit^ht*i i»t»Liion.
