SEWARD. ALASKA, OCT. 2, 1909
ALASKA, THE RED-HAIRED BOY.
The attitude taken by President Taft
in regard to a territorial form of gov
ernment for Alaska is a sore disap
pointment to the bona tide residents of
the territory, who have been praying
for relief from the present system
under which Alaska lias been misruled.
Assuming that the chief executive will
adhere to his expressed policy in this
regard, all hope for relief under the
present administration is useless waste
of energy, for without the powerful aid
of the president Alaska has not enough
friends in congress to pass legislation.
The president favors government of
Alaska by a commission ot Washing
ton officials. The idea is repugnant to
American citizens. It implies a want
of confidence in the people of Alaska
to govern their own affairs. It is un
American in principle. Such a form
of rule merits the most caustic criti
cism of the inhabitants of the terri
tory. And we doubt not that it will
get it, if attempted.
It is an unfortunate state oi aftairs
to tfius be placed on a par with the
semi-civilized people. The citizenship
of Alaska may be said, without boast
ing, to be composed of the most pro
gressive, the most self-reliant, the most
intelligent, of any m any slate or ter- ?
ritory in the Union, if we may he per-j
mitted to place ourselves within this
Union for purposes of comparison. The i
people in Alaska are pioneers, engaged |
in throwing into the channels of com- ]
meree the great resources of the ter
ritory. They are hewing out homes in j
a great country for future generations.
They are qualified in every respect for
the full duties of citizenship. For the
president to deny them this, their
heritage, subject them to taxation
without representation, compel them
to be governed by a commission com
posed of officials who have no material
interest in the country, and who will
undoubtedly inflict upon us all sorts of i
theorems of government, is not an en
couraging prospect. Alaska is the red
haired boy in the nation's family.
