WHO DOES HE REPRESENT?
The Attorney General of Alaska was elected for the
purpose of providing legal advice to the legislative bodies,
executives and to defend the laws passed and sought to
be executed*by these, and to represent the Territory in all
matters where legal services are required.
Appearing before Judge Reed in proceedings
brought by James Wickersham to prevent the utilization
of funds voted by the Legislature for the administration
of the affairs of the Territory, including the payment of
salaries to employes of the Territorial government, Attor
ney General Rustgard made the statement that he would
not argue any points of law set up by Mr. Wickersham
‘‘because he had expressed similar opinions held by the
plaint! ff.”
It is remarkable that the Attorney General's report
presented to the Legislature and containing a number of
extremely radical and unconstitutional measures did not
contain an admonition against voting the funds now
sought to be estopped by injunction proceedings. During
his successive terms of office the Attorney General has
failed to present such a matter in his annual reports.
Mr. Rustgard’s attitude in the present instance is
open to grave misgivings and varied interpretations. It
evikes the question of whom does he represent in his ca
pacity as Attorney General of the Territory. In prac
tically confessing judgment to the detriment of his cli
ents and for the benefit of their opponent Mr. Rustgard
leaves himself open to the charge of bad faith. Did such
a thing occur between private litigants, the one employing
Mr. Rustgard would have changed attorneys.
It would be a graceful act for him to withdraw
from further activities on the part of the Territory and
likewise make way for someone who earns his pay.
“MIGHTY LAK A ROSE”
Evidently Anchorage smells something like a whal
ing station, only worse, according to indignant outbursts
from citizens of the Inlet community, for almost every
day the Anchorage Times is publishing anonymous letters
harpooning the living tar out of the railroad’s infant in
dustry, the manufacture of fertilizer from fish offal and
other items. It’s a good thing there’s a mountain range
between Seward and Anchorage.
WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?
Two 50-gallon barrels, coated with deadly poisons,
were stolen from Theodore Van Bibber in Fairbanks last
week. The barrels were used for dipping dogs, and the
dipping mixture consisted of cyanide of pottasium, cor
rosive sublimate and creoline. The first two are fatal
even in small quantities. Mixed with white mule, a mix
ture of this sort should command a good price.
A letter sent the Gateway Saturday from Anchor
age closes with these words: “Yours till Anchorage
smells like a rose.”
Another writer from Anchorage says that the ferti
lizer is so strong it fairly makes the grass jump up.
Perhaps that Anchorage fertilizer will make hair
grow on a billiard ball.
“Sex,” the recently condemned play, ran more than a
year before New York discovered it was too bad. Seventy
five per cent of the 300,000 who witnessed it were women.
One can urn id the motive of that prospectors’
bill. It offers a 1 _.*mn through which its sponsors may
get grubstake with which to get out into the .hills and
grow a beard so their constituents will not know them
when they slip back home.
