AN ILLUMINATION
It ha* always been a matter of wonder
to citizens of the republic today,
who ?re enjoying the blessings that
have been handed dowa to them, bow
men could oppose the etTorts of George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson and
others, at the time those brave |men
were struggling so bard and sacrificing
so much to secure those blessings.
Hut, lord bless us, there appears at
times examples of the same thing even
today that aid us in a comprehension
of that phenomenon. It ever there
was a country on earth that bred Ihe
sentiment of freedom in a man's soul
this Alaska is it. But in the town of
Juneau, down the canal, there lives a
people thit have the impression that
Uncle Sam "OWNS" us and that we
must be good and ask for nothing save
what the old man sees fit to give us
voluntarily lest we be spanked and
allowed to go hujgry, like Oliver
Twist. Thank heaven there are not
many such communities in this country.
Head this amazing thing from the Ju
neau Record:
UNCLE SAM OWNS ALASKA
Th? republ.caos of Skagway at their
recent primary parsed the following
resolution:
"Tbat we resent the efforts of the
federal appointees of Alaska to discredit
the delegate whom the people of Alaska
have elected to congress"
Now if these republicans would only
stop to think the nutter over they
would discern that thev are shooting
in the air at nothing.
Firstly? To whom is this resolution
addressed ? II it be to the administra
tion then it is a criticism of the party
to whom it is addressed for the federal
"officers are the representatives of the
federal government, not representa
tives of the people of Alaska
Secondly? Alaska belongs to the fed
eral government and not to the people
of Alaska any more than it does lo the
people o' Tennessee. Alaskans didn't
buv Alaska and because it bas proved
to be a "?ood thing" is no reason why
it should be turned over to some
one else other than the purchaser to
govern as be sees fit. Generally the
man who owns a house has the right
to govern it as he pleases, Independent
ly of what the occupant of the premises
may say or think. Usually when the
occupant gets to "resenting" the laod
1 rd, he gets a ten dass' notice to
vacate, out our landlord is a kind,
patient old fellow and tries to make it
just as comfortable for us as bis agents
up here thinks is for the ioterestaof
of the owners as well as the occupant.
The Alaskan would like to ask the
Record who Uncle Sam is ? and what is
the color of his jyes'? Some of these
days We people of Alaska will be called
upon to decide oy their votes, where
shall be located ihj permanent capital
of this splendid empire, and it will be
remembered on that day that the city

the unrebuked expressions of its press
?that it was the one community that
thought the people of Alaska incapable
