Seward, Alaska, January 19, 1914
Of all the slanderous articles that
has ever been printed against Alaska
is that which is credited to the Boston
Herald, a paper prominent throughout
the Unified States and thought to he
conservative and fair m all of its deal
ings with matters concerning the wel-1
fare of the people. The article is a lie |
pure and simple, and was either writ
ten by an idiot or at the behest of those
who are trying to defeat a measure of
vital importance to the inhabitants of
Alaska. Among other equally untrue
things, it says: “The natural resour
ces of Alaska are a joke. Soft coal is
there to be sure, but of wretched
quality and useless through its in
accessibility, which even the railroad
would but slightly alleviate. There
are no white women in the country,
and the loose living and consequent
disease are be\ond description. In
sanity is on the increase," and much
more of the same kind of slush. It is
nothing more than a slander on every
resident of Alaska, and a paper that
will put out such stuff as the Boston
Herald is credited with putting out,
should be brought to account, for it is
nothing else than criminal libel. And
to make matters worse, the Valdez
Prospector prints it without any com
ment, simply giving it wider publicity.
But then probably the Prospector,
knowing that Valdez stands no show
of getting any derect benefit from the
government railroad, sanctions the»
comments ot the Boston Herald.
