H0G6ATT NOT IN POLITICS
The report received front Juneau by
The Alaskan yesterday to the effect
that Governor Hoggatt had gotten out
and mixed in ward politics is typical of
the man. Those who kuow the Gov
ernor were not at all surprised. He
had been beaten in every section of
Alaska and made his last stand in Ju
neau, and when 210 men working in >he
Treadwell mine, anil for Colonel Suth
erland, "Who has large Mining Interests
in Alaska," aided by unders' rappers em*
ployed in the offices of the Federal offi
cials at Juneau got out and worked for
him, Hoggatt's entire political force
wii represented. "Governor Hoggatt
la not in politics" and he does not be
lieve in allowing the rabble "who are
one day in Alaska and the next month
in Mexico to have a say in Alaska's
government, " he says, but yesterday
he got out and mixed with ibis same
rabble, bad bis handmaidens buy them
drinks, and was glad to get this con
resident element to support his ticket,
wbich patriotic Alaskans would have
none of.

THE WAY OF IHE REPTILE PRESS
Says the Juneau Record concerning
the Skagway republican primary reso
lutions: "Now why declare for the one
man who prevents AlaskaTrom obtain
ing self-government and denounce the
agent of this m^n for the acts of the
principal? There is no question about
Alaska obtaining home government if
Mr. Roosevelt will only say the word,
but he declared In Seattle that he
would never consent to let a few adven
turers who do not make Alaska their
home saddle a tax upon men who have
come to this country and are deve'op
ing it by investing their money here.'
The V iner has no recollection of hav
ing seen President Roosevelt quoted
anywhere as having uttered any such
language or sentiment while in Seattle.
He did, however, say something about
men who came to Alaska for the "pur
pose of skinning the country and then
getting out.'' and as the actual bona
fide residents seem to be most generally
the ones who are demanding local self
government, it is easy to dtsignite the
class to whom he meant to rpply bis re
marks, as it would be rather hara for
those who do not make Alaska their
home to >addle a tax upon those who
have actually come here to live. Mr.
Roosevelt, it is safe to assert, never
*aid anything that would be so utterly
foolish and ridiculous, since he knows
that people who do not make Alaska
their homo would have no voice io the
administration of a territorial form of
government, though the Record ij in
excusably ignorant or wilfully oolivious
of the fact.? Ketchikan Miner.
THE ALASKA CABLE SERVICE
Id his annual report Brig. Geo.
James Allen tt^aic emphasizes the need
of another cable between Seattle and
Sitka, Alaska, though the present cable,
he say?, is working admirably, and
fully meets the requirements of busi
ness. However, it is the practice to
duplicate deep-sea liftes in order to
guard against accidents, and It is for
this purpose, primarily, that an ad
ditional line is urg'xl.
Rapid progress ha* been made in the
matter of equipping Alaska with a tel
egraph service, and :he amount of bus
iness handled justifies the extensions
made. At present Alaska iias 2,524
wiles of submarine cable, 1,403 miles
of iacd cable, 10" miles of wireless,
forty-6v? telegraph offices, eighteen,
money transfer office and ten c?ble
offices.
The additional cable line recom
mended would cost about $660,000, and
Brig. Can. Allen says the only question
to be determined is as to whether it is
'north so much at ifaris time to insure
uninterrupted communication over the
roots.
It may be that the government will
no* feel justified in making this im
provement now, but the time is not far
when the government must take a aif
fareot view. On account of the rapid
'.net-ease Id Alaska's business, any' In
terruption with the ltne of communica
tion would even now be a very -serious
matter, and at the present rate of prog
ress, such a happening. In a short
while, might mean very serious losses.
It may be worth the government's
while, therefor, to consider General
Allen's recommendation with the view
of putting In another cable at some
early future date.? Seattle Post-Intell!
gencer.
irs NOT PREFERENCE '
In this controversy over the admis
slbn of Japanese laborers it is worth
while to note that those who employ
Japs do not do so because they can be
had for lower wages, but because
whiles cannot be had at all or are unre
liable when employed. The rate of
wages is Dot the tieterminiug element.
Fruit growers who must have help upon
which they can depend have found that
whites "lay off" when the weather is
threatening and work only when they
feel like it. That kind of labor Is un
safe for a man who has a crop of per
ishable fruit to be saved. No employer
ha.-1 said that the Japs are cheaper.
They are declared to be reliable work
ers, while the whites are not. At the
same time, employers and employes
must remember that in California the
fruit growers have learned that the
Japs are unmerciful when once they
get the orchard owner in their power.
A variety actress in Seattle is suing
for a divorce from her husband on the

to Ketchikan should prove grounds
enough to free her.? Skagway Alaskan.
