GE.VARD. ALASKA. JULY 6. 1914
TliK C \TMW.\Y he e and ta>w take* the liheity of calling
oil tli • n.-wspap us of Alaska, and tlirough them on the people of
.•II th ■ d strict* of Alaska, to t ike concerted action to impress on
the administration at Washington the unfairness of selecting stran
.'ers to till the administrative ottices in the territory and the injus
tift* of interfering unduly in matters
ALASKA FOR which ought to no left entirely to those
ALASKAXS who have spent the best years ot their
lives in developing this country s resour*
t s. Alaska ami Alaskans ov.e a great deal to tne present demo
t i■; tic administration, This portion of the territory particularly
fools that to President Wilson it owes a very great debt. To him
** due the tremendous strides which have been taken b\ the na
tional legislature, and in making a suggestion tie* greatest possi
:oi*l ng «»t respect should »e always manifested as it is un
doubtedly harbored >y all \laskans. hut Alaskans should, never*
tlide****. make tin* suggestion. and make it in no uncertain man*
:i**r. that Alaska should be for Alaskans as Alaskans should not
b,« subjected to the insinuation tiiat they are unfit to govern them*
solves or their affairs.
Tl.o democratic platform of the territory had for one of its
t-bief : leaks ! 1 so polh y of lotting Alaskans govern and administer
the government of the territory which they had saved trom the
wilderness. but sine** the (‘lection of the democratic adminis
’ -sit ion many offices 1 sa\ • been rilled by strangers and some of the
internal affairs of the c ti* s of tie* territory have been taken from
th** l ands of the people themselves. This is hardly lair or en
con raging. There are thousands ot men in this northland who
}i;i\ • ■ g \ en the besi 11 t was in them to make* their chosen
field be. r a harvest that would be of advantage to the nation as a
whole and there are many of these men who have gained nothing
u>r themselves in the strue«*le. Some ot thorn, indeed, have ex
pended their energies only to tind thems* Ives worse olf at tin*
* n*_r of their lost years than they were when they faced the
I rd>h ;» of the [ asses and it is to he regretted that now when
real i* veiopnient is in siuht due to their efforts they are not only
pass Ml over but are treat *d like children and placed under the ad
ministrative whims of tl >se wl *er saw Alaska or only saw it
for tin* ti:*>t time when they were sent north to skim the cream
from the political milk.
This > .eject ouirht to oe taken up by tin* people and the press
of the territory with real determination and while one paper can
do no more than draw attention to the subject, all the papers and
a i tl e people by com*entrating their voices should be able to send
up a -oar that e«c;I l penetrate oven the walls of tin* white house.
