SEWARD. ALASKA. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17. 1916. |
There was a paper published in \ aldez some time
ago which made a living, rather starved to death, by the
practise of attacking officials who could not tolerate it.
The publisher of that paper is now engaged elsewhere but
an extraordinary quietude has descended on his utter
ances. There is probably a reason. \\ by that man is not
now attacking the Railroad Commission is a wonder. You
know, he and his kind would attack any old commission
if there were not some very strong cause to keep silent.
They live on attacks. There are some types of papers that
make attacks their stock in trade. While attacking they
get the crowd that is never satisfied with officials, and
they cease attacks when the attacked shows in a material
way that the attacks are effective. They think they stand
to win either way, but they never do. What a strange
world.
Alaska has been very fortunate during its whole
story, after all, in the type of officials given to it. There
have been some instances, like that of the early days ot
Nome, when corruption crept in but how honest those
people were compared to the officials of Dawson in the
early days. In all the attacks made on the various sorts
of officials, commissions, etc., we have never seen one
proved even when those officials had as their bitterest
enemies men who had great influence, even men who were
the elected representatives of the people. Men attacked
them who had every means at their disposal to get at the
facts and, yet, who ever heard of a prominent Alaskan ot
ficial getting fired for anything but political reasons
since those same days at Nome? Let us just recall to
mind for a moment one type of man who belongs to a cer
tain “Commission.** He is a young \\ estpointer. His face
has honesty and honor in every line ot it. He is the finest
looking type of American. He is a gentleman in every
sense of the word. Could you imagine a Commission of
which he is a member being anything but a good servant
of the people? It is only a person who looks through a
rotten atmosphere can see rotteness where it does not
exist.
Three weeks from today we shall be voting. Prohibi
tion will be one of the things to be voted on. Without try
ing to stir up this subject at all it may be said that many
people are Prohibitionists for honest and good reasons
but there are others who turn up their eyes at the sign ot
“licker” and will always vote prohibition because they
either haven't got the price or wouldn’t buy if they had it,
the cheap skates. __

HUGHES MAKES MOST
VIGOROUS ATTACK
OMAHA, Oct. 17—Judge Hughes
last night spoke here to a crowded:
auditorium and made the most vigor
ous attack he has made during the
campaign. The crowd cheered him
for three minutes at one time. He de
clared that there is no visible govern
ment of the country at present. The
administration of the government is
largely done by unofficial spokesmen
and mysterious influences. He des
cribed the Marshall charges as mon
strosities and he ridiculed the claim
that business is unshackled. “The
motto of the present government.”
said the speaker, “is that a problem
avoided is a problem solved.”
