SEWA8A ALASKA, MONDAY, APRIL & IMS*
Politics in Alaska is a queer feature of the territory’s life. It must be
admitted that it is not a pleasant feature by any means. The chief reason is
that "e are too easily led away by men whom we take at their own valuation
of themselves. The first thing a man does who wants to secure votes is to
display an angelic love for the workers as he calls them. The man who spouts
about his own altruism and love is the very man who is most likely to pos
sess neither. The world is full of demagogues and the most regrettable fact
is that democracies are more the prey ot demagogues than monarchies. In
the former anyone with gall can come to the surface by the votes of the un
thinking while in the latter he must manifest ability to those who know the
difference between the actual capability and the false. This is, of course,
not enough to condemn democracies but it is one of the worst tailings of
them.
In all kinds of Alaskan politics we are too much inclined to take into
account class consciousness, as Socialists have dubbed the feeling. It is a
positive fact that the man who mouths against great corporations the most
strenuously gets the greater number of votes. In local politics the same
feeling seems to ^vist in manv of the towns ot the territory. There are good
men in all walks of life and the best should hi* selected without any other
considerations that are foreign. Ihe man who gives around spouting about
his undying love for the workers should be regarded with suspicion unless
he, himself, makes his living as a worker—which is quite different to making
his living off the workers. Men like that are too contemptible to be trusted.
There are thousands of better men and really more charitably souled men who
by their very nature would consider such chicanery repulsive, and the result
is that the field is left to the deceptive blackguards that never work anything
hut the workers. Let workers represent workers but let workers beware of
the grin of the man who uses them and invariably betrays them when he
gets the power.
Really, why do the territorial legislators waste their time on laws such
as the one forbidding children from going on the stage? There is every
inclination in the world to give our representatives a chance to make good,
but where is the sense of trying to take the places of the mothers and
fathers in bossing their kids? If a father and mother are all right they
ought to be the best judges of what their tantilies should do and it they arc
not all right there are other ways for dealing with them.
Judging hy some of the bills introduced one cannot avoid the suspicion
that some old fogies or very old ladies are swaying the susceptible minds
of the lawmakers. It suggests the picture of some legislator sitting in some
family circle listening to a story by some lady about Mrs. Robinson s Mary
going on the stage to speak a piece and being naughty, and of the legislator
hurrying next morning to the House or Senate with his statesmanlike bosom
heaving with indignation against the ruin brought on Mary Robinson although
there may not be three such Mary Robinsons in the whole length and breadth
of Alaska.
While they are at this work it might be suggested that there are several
other fine laws overlooked. They should insist on putting in a reform school
every boy who tears his pants, or girl whose stockings fall down. Every
girl employed in a store should be supplied with a toilet set and a full
length mirror on pain of twelve months in jail for the employer. But hurry
is necessary. Only twenty days or so remain for the legislating and the
taxation, mining laws and a few other things need attention. But to the
deuce with mining laws and taxation. First keep that fierce criminal Mary
Robinson off the boards.

This is the first application under
the leasing clause of public bill No.

that a number of people on the west
coast contemplate applying for leases
to coal land in that region.—Juneau
