'SEEK AND YK SHALE FIND—RKPIBLK'ANS,
U. S. Marshal Ed. Bonn, who recently assumed his duties in
Western Washington, subjected himself to much criticism because he
reappointed as his chief deputy the man who had served in that capacity
for eight years under a Democratic administration. Fortunately for j
Marshal Benn the official had the good grace to voluntary resign, to go
into business for himself. Then Marshal Benn appointed to the vacant
prsition A II. Miller, for nine >:-ars chief office deputy in the office of"
the United States Marshal at Nome. But instead of being despondent j
over the change. Marshal Benn declared that he "is fortunate to find a j
man with the experience of A. B. Miller to take the place.’
The great trouble with a lot of the newly appointed federal officials
is that they don’t go to the trouble to try to find a competent and deserv
ing Republican to take the place of a Democrat who has had his full share
of public favor. When the voters go to the polls and declare for a
Republican President and other officials they at the same time express
a desire for a change in minor officials. But some of the appointees
soon forget that they exerted Republican influence to secure for them
selves the coveted prize, and that the natural sequence should be the
appointihent of Republicans to fill places under them.
There is a lot of this kind of complaint not only in Alaska but
thruout the United States. It is incomprehensible that with all the
Republicans in the country it is necessary that high officials call upon
the discarded Democrats to perform the functions that worthy Republicans
justly feel should fall to them. In a recent address in New York Secre
tary of the Interior Fall declared that "the Republican party acquired
Alaska and the Republican party should make its development possible.
It will do its duty and develop Alaska.” And while the doing is good it
may shortly be expected that more of the same good Republicans will he
asked to do their share to bring about results. It is about time for a
house-cleaning among minor officials thruout Alaska.—Juneau Capital.
NORTHLAND EXPOSITION PROJECTED
The Daily Times of Cordova, with commendable enterprise, pro-,
poses a Northland Exposition for 1925, with*the suggestion lhat it be
held at Cordova. It is a good suggestion and an Exposition in Alaska
would undoubtedly receive the co-opcration of the Portland Exposition
management. One would help the other. Three years hence it is ex
pected that there will be an immense tourist influx to Alaska, thousands
being drawn to the Portland exposition who will afterwards continue
to the northland. True, they will see much of Alaska’s products and
resources at that exposition, but they will be in a better frame of mind
to appreciate our richness when they are here with no other attractions
to distract their attention. By all means let’s prepare for a big Ex
position in 1925, and if Cordova has the facilities necessary to assure1
success, she should have first call as the meeting place. Without doubt
the coming session of the Legislature would make some financial provi- j
sion for the holding of an Exposition that would mean the biggest thing j
possible for Alaska. And the Federal government might also be ex
pected to contribute her share of the necessary expense.
ALASKA SHOULD INVITE HR. EDISON’
Results of boundless benefit to the United States, probably. ;
will follow a visit to Alaska by Mr. Thomas Edison, the world’s greatest
thinker, inventor and closest observer. All Alaska yearns for him to
come. He should take plenty of time for a leisurely inspection tour,
accompanied only by his secretary and Northern guides.
Without counter attractions to divert his attention, Mr. Edison
undoubtedly would discover things and devise ways and means of utiliza
tion which otherwise might pass unnoticed for many years.
Wouldn’t it be timely and common sense for the Governor of
Alaska, the territorial and municipal authorities and the commercial or
ganizations, to unite in extending an invitation to Mr. Edison for a
throe month’s visit during the summer?
The visit of the President is vitally important, and likewise would
be that of Mr. Edison.—Exchange.

Spit on your hamls, get a good hold on the Seward Peiiiusula
bonds ot affiliation, and pull 'em up closer. A chain may be
only as strong as its weakest link. BUT WITHOUT A CHAIN.,
THERE IS NO STRENGTH AT AIX.. .Even a ptarmigan and
a timber wolf know there is power in E Pluribus Unum.
For a long time the different localities of this District have
been backsliding into little hermit villages; there has been a
frightful lack of co-ordination. We have pulled at Congres
sional influence from every point on the compass, with the re
sult that we haven’t gotten anywhere. We have been like
some dog teams we all know of: “Geeing" and “Hawing”
when the command was Straight Ahead.
The NUGGET wants a weekly news letter from every settle
ment in the District. It wants to print your activities, social
and otherwise, and it wants the feelings and expressions of
your community on the big issues con fronting us all. It
wants your support by subscription. A larger paper means a
better paper. Buy it; read it. and send us your suggestions
as to how to better it. We would like to be a perfect mirror
of the Peninsula's thoughts and desires. This will require
teamwork.
Just laying back there in your cabin, grumbling and growl
ing to yourself wont help any. Clear, conatruriive criticism,
though, when given the light of day may accomplish wonders.
Get together. Appoint someone in your community as cor
respondent and let the World know you haven’t hibernated for
the winter*. We might suggest that your local school teach
ers be interested in writing up your activities, and we will
make substantial remuneration for their literary labors.
Let's show them we are interested in ourselves.
