THE CASE OF MAYOR WALKER
In all likelihood those who anticipate that Governor
Roosevelt of New York will take precipitate action in or
dering Mayor James Walker to vacate his office are per
haps destined for disappointment.
Regardless of the innocence or guilt of Mayor Walker,
Governor Roosevelt has many precedents and historical
examples to guide him.
It must be remembered first that Mr. Roosevelt is a
candidate for the Presidency of the United States; that
the man under fire is a member of his party and the May
or of a city of some six millions of people. Whatever ac
tion the Governor may take will surely be misconstrued
regardless of the justice involved. In this respect Walker
has the strategical edge. He has not only the corrupt
forces behind him, but the unknown quantity, public re
action. If removed he can claim it was for political pur
poses—giving the mob a martyr. If sustained, it will be
charged that the action was for the purpose of -making
political capital and winning Tammany support.
Aside from this is another question of precedent. The
Constitution of the nation and the State presuppose se
lection and removal of public officials by the voters. And
while provision is made for executive action, such as is
put up to Governor Roosevelt, it is only in cases of great
est gravity and where there can be no question of reas
onable doubt that an executive is justified in reversing
the mandate of the voters and remove one of their choos
ing. In this we have precedent reaching far back into Eng
land, where Parliament sought to unseat members known
to be steeped in moral terpitude. Then it suddenly occur
red to the opposition that their limitation were based
upon actions committed after the member was legally
elected as they related to the rules of Parliament. As to
the fitness of the man, it was a matter for his constituents
to decide. In other words if a district chose to be repre
sented by a knave,it shared the stigma of the knave. If
they could stomach it, so could Parliament.
Thus, Governor Roosevelt has the right to assume
this attitude toward Mayor Walker. If he is guilty of the
corruption and graft charged, it is a matter for the City
of New York to decide whether they wish to have such a
man as their symbol or one of impeccable honesty.
Thus, it may turn out that Governor Roosevelt will
pigeon-hole the findings of the Seabury committee, and
leave the verdict with the greater jury—the voters—to
decide. In this he will be choosing a course which cannot
evoke criticism to the effect that he sought to whitewash
Walker. We have many recent cases of Congress refus
ing to seat members because of alleged corrupt practices
in securing their election, such as buying it from voters.
Well, if the morality of the voter is so low that he will
sell himself like a chattel, what are you going to do about
it?

COSELiN FUR GO.
SEATTLE WILL SERVE
ALASKAN SHIPPERS
With the recent announcement
by C. B. Coselman, president of C.
B. Coselman, Inc., fur skin mer
chants, at 216 Maritime Building,
915 Western avenue, Seattle, of a
fur auction sale, a new era opens
to Alaskans interested in obtain
ing the highest prices for their fur
catch.
Mr. Coselman has been a resident
of Seattle for 25 years, a consider
able portion of this time being de
voted to the fur business. The com
pany of C. B. Coselman, Inc., has
been engaged in the handling of
raw, dressed and dyed fur skins,
and has a marketing organization
thru out country. Mr. Cosel
man states probably 50 per cent of
his business has been in the ex
portation of furs to foreign coun
tries. The making available of
these facilities to fur consibnments
of Alaska shippers should be of su
preme interest. Monthly fur auc
tions will be conducted as well as
frequent floor sales when advan
tageous. Fur consignments will be
sold to the highest bidder.
This concern announces a de
partment, in charge of an experi
enced merchandise buyer, to act as
buying agent for Alaska merchants.
They state that for a commission
this department will fill orders of
Alaska merchants for groceries,
hardware, produce, etc., and will
compel factories and wholesale
houses to enter competative bids
on all orders. Mr. Coselman points
out the tremendous advantages
that will be realized from volume
purchases, also the convenience to
merchants of being able to ship
furs to auctions in payment of such
merchandise as they desire. It is
claimed for this department that it
heralds a long step forward in Al
aska merchandising and that the
merchant failing to recognize its
advantages and opportunities for
profit will find himself unable to
compete.
The wholesale manufacturing fur
department of C. B. Coselman, Inc.,
dresses fur skins and manufactures
them into garments and scarfs;
department solicits merchants
only on a wholesale basis in the
dressing and making up of scarfs
and sundry fur skins from skins
belonging to the merchant. Thus,
for the first time in history, the fa
cilities of an all around wholesale
skin house become available to Al
aska merchants.
