ANENT MAJOR RICHARDSON.
Major Richardson has mailt* himself
? "good fellow" in Alaska. Many
a criticism about the road commis
sion. the employment of labor and
the expenditures of moneys have
have been passed over by the press
for the newspaper men felt a person
al liking for the genial, good humored
ways of the major.
But the major is now appearing in
a new role and one in which he is
subject to criticism. He is lobbying
at Washington. D. C., not for a road
appropriation, but for legislative mat
ters that do not concern him. other '
than so far as they might advance j
his own interests. In short, he wants
the position of commissioner of the
Interior and mines, provided for in the
new Beveridge bill, and is therefore
favuring the commission and opposing
himself to the people of Alaska and
their elected representative.
As a candidate for a position which
carries with It law-making ami ex
ecutive powers, we do not see the
major in the same light as when
traveling about the country and link
ing a good fellow at himself and
spending the road appropriation!
money. 1 would be a good idea to I
publish a detailed report of his expen
ses in connection with the road com
mission in Alaska before seriously
considering him as a candidate for
a public position, even if it is an ap
pointive office. ? Cordova North Star.
A CONQUERED PROVINCE
Mr. Sulzer. Very well. I thought
the gentleman was cuutending that
the people of the United States do
not o?vn Alaska Many people would
doubtless think so from what goes on
now and then in Congress concerning
legislation for Alaska, and I often
think the Alaskans have some reason
for thinking they are out of the
Union and never can get in. It Is
ail a sad commentary on our boasted
theory of home rule and local self
government Alaska is governed to
day like a conquered province under
a Roman proconsul. No wonder the
Alaskans are disgusted with govern
ment from Washington. ? Extract
from speech made In Congress. Jan. 10

the District of Alaska. Division No.
