having to do with the Alaskan govern
ment and even of persons not in public
life, present a condition that calls for
condemnation and requires that the pub
ic be warned of the demoralization that
has been produced by the hysterical sus
picions of good people and the unscrup
ulous and corrupt misrepresentations of
the wicked. The helpless state to which
the credulity of some and the malevo
lent scandal-mongering of others have
brought the people of Alaska in their
struggle for its development ought to
give the public pause, for until a juster
and fairer view^be taken, investment in
Alaska, which is necessary to its de
velopmentf will be impossible, and hon
est administrators and legislators will
be embarrassed in the advocacy and put
ting into operation of those polieies in
regard to the territory which are nec
essary td itei progress and prosperity.”
