SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 27, 191(>.
The Valdez Prospector tells us that Delegate Wicker
sham never said a word against the Alaska Road Com
mission when he spoke at V aldez. Now, it the arguments
against Colonel Richardson were good at Sew aid wh\
were they not good at Valdez? Surely the Delegate to.
Congress from Alaska would not take into account a pos
sible loss of votes if he thought it his duty to point out the
sins of a public service commission. Does the failure to
speak of the Commission in its home town suggest that
after all the attacks on the demoniacal Colonel are de
livered with a view to securing support in the ballot
boxes?
Sonte time ago this paper printed the report that
Villa threatened to take a part in the United Suites presi
dential election and now we have no less a person than the
American secretary ot war declaring that the foes ot
President Wilson are conspiring with Villa to make an at
tack for election purposes. No matter w hat politics a man
might have it is difficult to believe that any party or any I
man could be guilty ot such treason as this. And yet Sec
retary Baker says he has ample proof. Could there be
such traitors outside of the ranks of Lucifer in Hell.
We are sometimes inclined to be a little short-sighted
when contemplating the meaning of the government rail
road. Some of us actually incline to pessimism because
the territory has not been opened to the limit during the
very first year of construction work. We should always
remember that the building of the government railroad
is not the end in view; It is only a means to an end. All
of us who have hit the trails for many years in the various
parts of the territory know perfectly well that its re
sources have only been touched on the outskirts. \\ her*
ever there has been a means of transportation there you
have found resources. The railroad will be as the Yukon
river is to its own part of the territory, and the feeders
which will come in time will be as the many tributaries of
the Yukon—gateways to more treasure houses. Remem
ber always that it is not the railroad but what the rail
road will do. Remember also what Tommy Riggs said:
Cut out the localism. l>e above the little things. Do not
keep looking at your feet. Stand on an eminence and gaze
out and beyond. The United States government has put
its hand to the plough in Alaska and tis up to Alaskans to
lend all the encouragement possible.
