ALLEY POLITICS
The local grand jury, which yesterday completed its
work unconsciously showed up a bunch ot duty
dueces” in the Alaska delegate, deck by completeg ex
nloding all charges against Deputy Marshal H. J. btasei
of Anchorage. The grand jury, in its final report, alter
a thorough investigation found that the resolution ot
the Alaska senate condemning that officer was unfound
ed; that it is the grand jury’s opinion that the charges
made as to Staser’s official and political misconduct,
were made “by people who were actuated by malicious
motives and therefore should be condemned by this
grand jury;” that Staser conducts his office in an effi
cient and able manner.
The Gateway holds no brief for Staser but we wish
to drive another harpoon into the political carcass which
has reeked to the high heavens in Alaska for nigh onto
eight years.
It is generally understood that Arthur Frame, who
was the principal actor in the senate’s stand on the mat
ter was called as a witness before the grand jury and
that the report came only after a searching investigation
The resolution referred to in the grand jury's re
port was passed by the Territorial senate and condemned
former Judge E. E. Ritchie and Staser for pernicious
political activity. In voting on the resolution the senate
made its usual political division of five to three, the
three Senators voting against passage being Dimond,
Dunn and Hess.
The day is gradually dawning when the rank and
file in Alaska will come to realize what dupes they have
been in being led by the nose thru eight years of quies
cent growth.
It is easy to make a strong argument if you don’t
allow yourself to be hampered with facts.
GATEWAY IS HONORED
A glow oi pride permeaas tne gateway sian louay
for with receipt of yesterday’s mail this paper was in
formed one of its recent editorials (last month) was se
lected as one of the four best editorials written for the
month in the United States.
The editorial “Consistency” was selected and re
produced in THE AMERICAN PRESS published in
New York City with the brief forward: “On this page
we wish to reproduce the best editorials written for
daily and weekly newspapers. An Alaskan editor con
siders the American scene.”
The American Press claims the largest, paid circu
lation of any newspaper magazine and is a journal for
builders of newspapers and advertising, devoted almost
exclusively to members of the Fourth Estate—news
papermen.
A press dispatch tells of a lad in British Columbia
who fell 800 feet down the side of a mountain on the
family homestead, brings to mind the old story of thal
section in Alaska in which a Sourdough declared that
he had fallen off his homestead twice in one day.
