A FUSILLADE OF PERSONALITIES
Here we are getting all ‘hetup’ again about the
Alaska delegate a few weeks before he will be gone
from our midst forever, but we can’t help it. Every
time he opens his mouth he ‘puts his foot in it,’ so to
speak, the latest being in yesterday’s dispatch from
Washington where he has been closely watching rein
deer carcass developments instead of lending his ef
forts, whatever they may amount to, towards assist
ing unraveling a major difficulty, the Alaska Railroad.
He’s been getting a fat salary for many years to
watch over the Territory’s affairs at Washington, but
every time major business comes up, he’s numbered
among those absent, and others, not drawing down a
copper for the work, are, perforce, required to do the
job.
We rather wandered away from today’s subject
but we wonder if those who read yesterday’s dispatch
could see the personal element emanating all through
his charges. Now he is ‘peeved’ at Governor Parks and
all of the Lomens of Nome. He said Judge Lomen con
trolled Alaskan politics; that Judge Lomen at one time
owned more stock than his five stalwart sons, together.
What a crime! There has only been one recognized pol
itical head in the Territory for years past and he was
and still is, as far as we know, the present delegate. He
“choose not to run” the last election but his supporters
need not worry, he’s far from asleep at the switch. Just
what the frame-up is we do not know nor care.
The government failed to protect the rights of the
native reindeer owners, he charged.; the government
permitted the Lomens to preempt their grazing land.
What rot! It is natural for a white man to try to pro
gress; it is not so with the average native. They have
always been content to cany on like their forefathers,
and perhaps, after all, they get more out of life from
their way of thinking. Another thing we have never
heard that the Lomens were rolling in wealth, though
they have are best wishes toward that end.
No, the further he’s gone, the more disappointing
the delegate has been ami the majority of his consti
tuents have only, in the last two years, begun to real
ize that is so.
In closing the final chapter on him we again ask,
name just one instance where he has helped Alaska in
any major progressive problem? Think hard!
Great men are plain men.
