SOMETHING OF A JOKE.
Tin1 upper house of tin* Alaska legislative assembly ap
peals to be something of a joke, so far as being a working body
is concerned. It took the intellectual giants who compose this
august tribunal 12 days in which to form an organization at
all. due to a light as to who should be president, secretary, ser
geant-at-arms. messenger and watchman. This highly import
ant matter finally determined, through satisfactory trades, the
senate at last got to a point where it could do business, if so
disposed. Now the wires tell us that the man who was honor
ed with the presidency has private matters of his own to at
tend to and must depart for Cordova. We don't know as we
blame him for wishing to escape, although we do not think he
is entitled to draw $1 o per day while away from the legislative
halls, farsieal though they may he. Now comes another solon
who wishes to air a personal grievance and waste some more
of the people’s time and money. And another solon has been
declared by the district court, the legally elected delegate to
congress from this territory and it is possible that In* will he
folding his tent and slipping away to the national capital.
In striking contrast to the upper house, the lower house
seems to he a splendid, sincere working body, devoted to the
interests of the people who sent them there. Petty polities
appear to have been cast aside and all seem to he united in a de
sire to do something for the betterment of conditions in the ter
ritory. We know our representatives from the Cook inlet
country—Price and Cannon—are on the job all the time. We
‘ believe that the other representatives from the Third division
—Day and Murray—are equally active in behalf of the peo
ple. In short, we believe that the membership in the lower
house is truly representative of the people of Alaska. As much
cannot be said for the members of the upper house.'
BE WISE AND STAY NORTH.
(Juneau Dispatch)
The wage earner of any kind who leaves Alaska to seek
work outside makes the mistake of his life. The truth of this
does not apply to any particular brand of worker. It is just
as true of the newspaper reporter, clerk, mgeker, bookkeeper;
miner, engineer, or anyone else.
You see, Alaska is fortunately remote from the hungry
crowd. When you lutve a job outside you always have the
feeling that three hundred and fifty others, or thereabouts, are
looking for it and feeling not the least broken-hearted by the
prospect of your possible early flemise. ’ton know that it the
boss put an advertisement in a newspaper for a man to lill your
place he would find it necessary to employ a corps of policemen
to keep the crowds of applicants from bursting in at the door
of the office. You never have the feeling of independence en
gendered by the thought that you are wanted. You know you
are not indispensable in the slightest sense and the result is
that you have to work your bead off or quit.
There is another important advantage for the wage earner
in Alaska, lie can quit any time if lie finds it imperative and
go out into the hills and not be arrested as a hobo. Socially
the workingman of Alaska is a butterfly of fashion compared
to bis confrere in so-called civilization. High wages are the
finest institution imaginable, and they cannot be too high to
Ik* objectionable to the man receiving them, but who would
choose a high-waged job that human nature could stand only
for a week before choosing a job with a little less wages that
he could hold indefinitely t
Alaska is the poor man s paradise, as is, indeed, any
new and remote country. No one ever heard a woman cry
ing for bread in Alaska, and no one ever saw a man worth his
salt up here that couldn’t get out and live if there was never
a job on earth. For instance, in the cities outside thousands
are looking for the price to buy a fish; in Alaska you couldn’t
catch a fish and offer it to a friend without embarrassing him
or lier. In this fortunate territory a woman would not want
to pluck the feathers of a grouse to cook it, hut outside there is
many and many a poor woman or man who would gladly skin
a whale to get a piece of its liver.
SUTHERLAND SEEKS TO .OCCUPY
SENATE’S TIME IM^SENTING
MATTER OF PHONAL PRIVILEGE
Juneau, March 2(5.-—Senator Sutherland, of llubv, will to
day ask unanimous consent, as a matter of personal privilege,
to present before the senate certain documents which he has re
ceived, which he says are conclusive proof that certain federal
officials of the Fourth division of Alaska railroaded men to
the penitentiary. Sutherland declares this is necessary in ei
der to reply to an editorial in the Juneau Empire of March it,
which stated that Sutherland knows his statements, made on
the floor of the senate at the time of the tight over organization
was on, were deliberate falsehoods and unthinkably true.
Sutherland's attacks are made on F. S. Marshal Erwin and 1.
S. District Attorney Roth, and bv implication, at least, on Ri*
i riot Judge Bunnell.
