The discovery that Noah was the cause of our downfall instead of Adam
and Eve clears finally the characters of two people who have been well known
to us by repute for a great number of years. The lesson to be extracted from
the story told by the tablet in the Pennsylvania university is that we should
never be hasty in our judgments. We have always been given to understand
that the evidence against Adam and Eve was prima facie, positive and direct
hut it is evident now that it must have been more or less circumstantial, and
wo are forced to the conclusion that they must have been made the victims
of either an opposing political party or a rival newspaper. Yesterdays dis
patch did not give the name of the individual whose posthumous statement
is accepted as refutation of the accusation that Adam and his rib were the
sole and only cause of forcing us to work for a living. He mav be of un
impeachable character but, after all. his testimony lacks corroboration and it
might bo unjust to condemn Noah without further investigation. A com
mittee of the Seward city council might take the matter up and have it
settled for all time.
The papers of the First Division evidently do not like the stand taken by
the other divisions on the question of the division of the forest funds for road
purposes. To show how they look at it down there and to give their side a
hearing the following ed torial from the Juneau Emipre will be useful:
“The Seward Gateway and other papers are taking the members of the
legislature from the First Division severely to task on account of the suit to
test the validity of the act distributing the Tongass forest funds that are in
the Territorial treasury. They are explaining to their readers that the Al
aska board of road commissioners had compensated this division for the loss
of this money, which admittedly congress meant to be expanded in the vicini
ty of the contributing forest, by appropriating $30,000 to the birst division
roads.
“This is not fair to the First Division. This Division paid $42,000 into
the road fund last year, and there is every reason to believe that the tax for
that purpose will be as large or larger this year. When that $30,000 was ap
propriated to the First Division by the road commissioners it meant that 6«>
per cent, to 75 per cent, of the Southeastern Alaska’s contribution to the road
was going to be returned to it. To put it another wav, the birst Division was
not to get any part of the $165,000 general appropriations for Alaska’s roads
and was to surrender from 25 per cent, to 35 per cent, of what she paid into
that fund. Now because Southeastern Alaska’s representatives in the legis
lature feel that, in fairness to the people of their division, they should not con
sent to the establishment of a precedent that would mean that the proceeds
from the forests of this Division, which congress has declared should be ex
pended within the “county or counties” in which the forest lie, are to be
distributed over all of Alaska, the First Division is to be penalized by being
compelled to see an even greater amount of her contribution to roads, through
the license tax. taken away and expended in other sections of the Territory.
“Some of those in the other Divisions are contributing mightly to the
sentiment in the First Division for separation from the remainder of the
Territory—a sentiment that really, for the good of the whole Territory,
should not be* developed at this time, and one that would not be controlling if
there was more disposition to be fair.”
