Alaska people will rejoice over the
appointment of a new governor ot
that terrlotry. They may not know
Walter E. Clark, a newspaper uian
who has been appointed to the posi
tion. but they \ will be satisfied that
they are to have a change from
Governor Wllford B. HoRgatt, who.
who Is said to have "resigned.
From a reading of Alaska papers
it appears that Hoggatt has given
the very poorest satisfaction as gov
ernor of the territory. However, he
pleased Roosevelt, and so he was
kept in the place long beyond the
time when he ceased to be useful to
the territory, if. indeed, such was
ever the case. In Alaska, as in
every territory and in many states,
there are factions, and it appears tha
Hoggatt has been the representative
of a faction that possessed all the
elements of ring rule to the very ut
termost. This would not have been
so bad if the ring had been a home
product; but it has been charged tliat
the Hoggatt ring was maiuly made up
of politicians in Washington and the
east, and that Alaska had been de
nied home rule in almost everything.
Governor Hoggatt has spent most of
his time iu Washington. D. C.. and
last month Secretary Ballinger or
dered him to return to his home ter
ritory and give some attention to
local conditions. He had been in
Washington something like a year
and had conducted the government
of the territory by proxy. Delega
tions from Alaska had visited W ash
ington and laid the situation before
the Department of the Interior, but
with little success, until finally the
whole matter was referred to Presi
dent Taft. There were several inter
views between the president and the
representative of the government, who
ought to have been in the territory
over which he was supposed to be
the executive head, and efforts were
made on the part of politicians to
prevent the summary order for the
governor to return and give attention
to the section that was being so very
poorly represented. However, a few
weeks ago. It came with a positive-1
ness that could not be mistaken. The I
"resignation" has followed, and there
is small doubt that there will l>e gen-j
eral rejoicing throughout Alaska over I
the change that has been made.
That Hoggatts ring has been in
dispute is proven by the election of
last fall. All Hoggatt's efforts and the
efforts of those in the combintaion
with him were exerted to elect the
man who could be depended upon to
do the bidding of the ring. But the ,
Alaska people elected an lndepen-1
dent representative, and throughout
the winter there has been friction
between the governor and the repre
sentative. Hoggatt was given a cer
tain number of days in which to
leave Washington and return to Al
aska. He complied and reached Ju
neau on May 7. Evidently the sit
uation had been studied by the ad
ministration. however, and the ap
pointment of -Mr. Clark followed. It
is said that the new governor has
been a close student of Alaskan af
tairs, for in addition to being con
nected with the New York Sun bu
reau in Washington for some years
he has been the special representa
tive of the Seattle Postl-ntelligencer.
and has given study to matters con
nected with the Pacific coast and
l he northwest.
In addition to its product of gold
and other minerals. Alaska has many
natural advantages, a number of
growing and pushing cities and a rap
Idly increasing population. It is en-j
tltlkM to proper representation and
^ocxl government, and it may be
bopod that at least it will Imw both
of these.? Utlea (N. Y.l, Observer.
THE DAY AND THE DEED.
[Abraham Lincoln: born Fob. 1C, 1W3.]
NATURE, thoy say, doth ilolo
And cannot mako a man
Save on some wornout plan.
Repeating us by rote.
For him her old world molds aside
she threw
And. choosing sweet clay from the breast
Of the unexhausted west.
With stuff untainted shaped a horo new.
Wise, steadfast In tho strength of Cod
and true.
How beautlfuMo see
Once mora a shepherd of mankind. In
deed.
Who loved his charge, but never loved to
lead:
One whose meek flock the peoplo Joyed to
be.
Not lured by any cheat of birth.
But by his clear grained human worth
And bravo old wisdom of sincerity!
Thoy knew that outward grace Is dust.
They could not choose, but trust
In that sure footed mind's unfaltering
skill
And supplo tempered will
That bent like perfect stool, to spring
again and thrust.
His was no lonely mountain peak of mind.
Thrusting to thin air o'er our cloudy bars,
A sea mark now. now lost in vapor's I
blind.
Broad prairie rather, genial, level lined.
Fruitful and friendly for all humankind,
Yot also nigh to heaven and loved of
loftiest stars.
?James Russell Lowell.
