SEW VRD. \LASkA. TCKSDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 1915.
The Juneau Empire comes back again at the Gateway editorially and .
says this paper has again missed the point. However, the Empire does not
accuse the Gateway of missing the point formerly at issue. Then the Gate
way was told that it missed the point relating to the right of Juneau to use
all the funds secured from the forests of the First Division, and now this
paper is accused of missing the point with respect to the stand taken by the I
|H*oplc of the First division on the question of dividing the territory, hrom
this it must be assumed that the Gateway has convinced its contemporary in
the capital that the contention in favor of an equal division of funds is well
taken.
Coming to the statement about the First division’s opinion on the divid
ing of the territory the Empire assures us that the hirst division does not
wish separation. This, of course, settles the whole matter and the Gatew ay
takes off its hat. The Empire assures us that the question ot division only j
arose from the stand taken by the other divisions but, really, the other
divisions were only on the defensive all the time. The Empire concludes by
saying that “the Juneau papers are not “local” in the sense that the Gate
way would have it interred.” and the Gateway hereby takes the opportunit>
of saying that the Juneau Empire of all papers in the territory is the least
inclined to be "rabidly local.” We have no tight with the Empire and this
division has no fight with the First division. We have had a difference of
opinion but Alaskans can agree to differ. The Empire is a fine paper and
does its duty towards Alaska while fighting its own corner. Its contempor
ary in the territorial capital is also far from being “local” in the worst sense
—the sense condemned by Commissioner Riggs—and the Gateway has not
now and never had any intention of saying anything offensive about them. ,
Sewaid and Juneau are to be the two great . ities of the coast of Alaska. We
believe Juneau will bo the first to congratulate us as Seward will be always
ready to back up Juneau. We all need each other.
Some Dr. Howard Russell threatens to spend part of two million dollars
to make Alaska dry. He says this in the city which has its Barbary coast.
This reminds one of the sending of missionaries to heathen lands when they
have millions of poor sinners right at homo to experiment on. If you have
any decent part of that two millions. Doc. come up and we’ll help you to have
a good time. Get a Russell on.
