THE ALASKAN'S POLICY
The recent action of The Alfskan in
refusing to carry the ad of a foreign
catalog bouse has, apparently, stirred
up a whole lot of contention among tbe
press of the territory. The Ketchikar.
Miner takes the view that The Alaskan
1* ioyal toSlcagway and says:
"This smacks of loyalty to home town
and home industry worthy of emulation
by the Alaska press generally. The
Skagway Alaskan says: ' This newspa
per is In receipt of a coutrac which it
is requested to sign and riturn to a
prominent cata'og hoiiss in order that,
the advertisement of the concern ma\
be carried in the columns of The Alas
??n. Tbe next boa' out will carry back
the agreement, unsigned, ?S The Alas
kna does not believe iu educating home
people to patronize foreign Lndus'ries.' "
l'he esteemed Juneau Hecord-Mitier
sizes up the matter with tbe conclusion
that the editor of this paper is commit
ting perjury when I e sceli, to cay whu
may or wt:o may cot buy -pace in The
Alaskan After quoting what the
Ketchikan paper .-ays, the Reoord
Miner goes into the fo '-> ing night
mare:
"That's ail good enough, but the pub
lisher of The Alaskan when he had that
paper admitted to tbe mails free in all
Alaska tuude an affidavit tli.it any per
sou could advertise any legitimate busi
ness at the regular rate, and any news
papct that refuses to do that subjects
the paper to one cent |>u?t*gc on ever)
paper.
"If The A I as* an can refuse any one
legitimate adve ; iser sp.,ce he can re?
fuse each and all but on-1 ot bis adver
tigers ?rd still have that personal orgnr
carried free ly the goverrnti nt all over
Alaska. If it were pojsibl-' to publish
such ? monthly. many hi - ness ui- n in
tbe territory would have 'heir own lit
tie personal mmith'v sheets and have
the governmen' i -tribute th- at free of
charge. The editor of The Alassan
might as well boas: that he is tunning
counterfeit dollar-. for hs is violating
the law every time he mails The Alas
kan as second fV matt
The di>cuss'on over the writs of The
Alaskan's loyalty and i - sieged vio'a
tlou of the law causes the IKuglas Is
land News to s't tip and take notice,
after which t prcd'c*
"The Juneau Reeo'd-Miner nas
framed tip i theory thai a newspaper
man violates h!? oath if he refuses to
publish 'he ads of the mail order con
cerns that ar* seeking to rob his read
ers out of th"ir hard earned money.
It's not Jo Tr.at newspan r fellow is
not a perjurer, bu' tbe chanc> s are he
Is a martyr, for he will prjbabiy starve
to death wai iu^ f -r the home peopie to
appreciate him."
The three contemporaries of The
Alaskan differ in three c :T tent ways,
but that do"s not cut acv fij: :re. It's
difTereuc- of op iiit?cs that nine horse
races. This newspaper will see thai
only su-.b advertisements as have mer
it, whether they be ocai ot foreign,
appear in its columns, aid will also cany
out the s.rne independent policy as re
gards local au^ editorial matter which
it may see fit to publish, aod instead of
answering the loiters of catalog houses
askiti2 for reduced rates for soace, Tbe
Alaskan will continue lo keep busy get
ting i p a tood hewspaper for Alaskan^.
WHO HE IS
!n ad open letter of three full cut
uuina which appear:) in Toe Juneau
Dispatch, G. C. Isroal, who represent*
a partner of W. Suthcrlat J? "Col
onel" Sutherland, ' who has large min
ing interests in Alaska," who slandered
Alaskans in a dribbling interview
which he gave the Pioneer Press of
St. Paul recently, the following is giv
the public:
"The writer is unaware as to whether
you are at present In any. wise inter
ested in the A!a.?ka Perseverance Min
ing company or ita mines in Silver Bow
Basin, but owing to the situation ob
tained between one W. J. Sutherland
commonly known as Col. Southerland
and hi* ex partner Charles H. Pearce,
who is represented bv the writer, as
his counsel and Attorney, coupled with
the fact that Mr. Pearce has every
reason to believe that Sutherland is
misrepresenting conditions as thev ex
ist relative to the mines in Alaska, this
letter is being written for tee purple
of forestalling any such tnisreoreseu
tations and affording a statement ot
actual conditions as they now ex'tt.
"Of course, this letter is written
with an ulterior moiive, and that
ulterior motive is the fo:cing<>f Suther
land to do justice towards iiii partner
in this venture, but at the same lime
is intended as a warning to any pssrsons
who ?re financially Interested In this
proposition being cajoled into the Idea
that the tit.es to these properties are
good, or that iuclos;ng with Colonel
Sutherland any proposition looking to
their sile, that he is now tu a position
to deliver a perfect title, as such
representations will undou itrdly be
made by him, by his attorney rrank H.
S'oue, by the Secretary of his du nmy
corporation, Peter P. t'ope. by
one It. P. Laffooo, posing a? attor
ney for that company, who s in fact .
Sutherland's falher-ln-Uw, and by hK
attorneys in Juneau."
It wns for holding this man up for
public conds uioatioa and contempt i
that the Record-Miner insisted that
his newspaper owed an apology to
every man, woman and cbild in Juneau. !
Treadwelt met D .uglas. Tins is the!
i> ?n that sa d the lawless held sway iu ;
Alaska; that honest business ven ures
were in peril from the inroads o: init.
ers; that we were a wor.hless set of
tramps. This man Sutherland is one
of the corterie of men who are against
home rule for Alaska. He is a p iragoa
of business integrity whom Alaskans
are asked by the Kecoid-Miner to em
ulate. Ift'n't be a little 1110 lei for ?
