GOVERNOR HOGGATT HAS HIS
"OWN IDEAS" BUT DON'T EX
PRESS THEM LIKE HE USED
TO.
Refusing to discuss the analysis of
the recent delegate election, but de
claring that he would at all time
work for the interest of Alaska, Gov
ernor Hoggatt, wheu interviewed in
Seattle the other day on his way to
Washington, said that so far as he
? .u, concerned, personal matters
would not enter into his efforts to
secure favorable legislation for Al
aska at the coming session of con
gress.
Pressed for an answer as to his
stand on the territorial government.
Governor Hoggatt refused to discuss
the question, saying that he would
merely watch what was being done
in congress to accomplish this end,
and stepping in only when he felt
that it was his duty to do so.
"In regard to territorial govern
ment. I have my own ideas, but this
will not prevent my working with the
delegate-elect for the good of the ter
ritory." 1k.? said.
Governor Hoggatt is at least a Mt
tie more politic in bis talks to news
paper men in Seattle than he was a
few months ago, wheu his kaiser
like frankness was such as to array
the entire district against his chosen
candidate. He still has his "own
Ideas" about territorial government
which are not those of the other peo
ple of Alaska, and the presumption
is natural that he will "feel it his
duty *o step in" when things are con
trary to his "own ideas" is'nt it?
President Roosevelt would be doing
this district a service if he would tell
Governor Hoggatt to go back to Al
aska or quit the Job. The people of
this district have chosen whom they
wish to represent them at Washing
ton and (.uite as distinctly, and at
the sauie time and In the same way
declared that Governor Hoggatt does
NOT represent the people of this dls
trict, neither does his "owu ideas"
coincide with heirs.
EDITOR ROOSEVELT.
As we have said, the compliment
to journalism involved in his willing
ness to become actively identified
with it is both considerable and sig
nificant. It will tend to uplift the
standard of responsibility in every
editorial room iu the land. Less dis
tinguished editors will welcome the
accession and the competition, and
the gain will fall upon the public
served. ? Rochester (N. Y.) Times.
A managing editor he could never
be. The drudgery of rule by the
clock, of an unblinking eye on the
type and the countenance of tin
page. of quick Judgment upon the
merits of offerings from all grades
of intelligence, of feeding the insat
iable appetite of the typesetter, of
slavish service to detail, would drive
the Impatient temperament of Mr.
Roosevelt out of the office in a week.
This administrative labor he must
leave to others in his magazine office
as he did iu Washington, while he
untangles his thoughts and spreads
them out in his clear, blunt Eng
lish.? Baltimore American.
As editor of the Outlook we dare
say Mr. Roosevelt will hand out many;
a printed slip.? Richmond (Va.)
Times- Dispatch.
Associate Editor Roosevelt can
earn the gratitude of all writers by
securing the adoption of the one dol
lar a word rate as a minimum wage
scale. ? Knoxville (Tenn.) Banner.
And he can get after Mr. Bryan's
Commoner any time he feels so dis
posed, while if La Follette starts a
paper, as he has said he would, be
tween the three of them won't there
be fun salorc? ? Moriden (Conn.) j
Journal.
As editor Mr. Roosevelt will enjoy j
a much wider latitude than he was :
accorded as president. Those who
condemned his attack upon the na
ture writers as Improper when deliv
ered by the nation's chief executive
may applaud his editorial strictures
upon the authors who incur his dis
pleasure.? New Orleans Times-Demo
crat
The only question it whether such
a newspaper as the Outlook can sup
ply room for all he will want to say
in a week. ? Des Moines (la.) Leader.
It may be that the president as an
editor will be calm, philosophical, di
dactic. If he should yearn for con
troversy he need only dlK the valiant
Colonel Watterson in the ribs. ? Bal
timore Sun.
As au editor ex-Plvsldent Roosevelt
would undoubtedly be worth $30,00(1
a year ?Jersey City Journal.
HEALTHFULNESS OF ALASKA
In the annual report of the surgeon
general of the armv? attention is again
specifically called to the fact that
AUska is the healthiest station at
which American troops are serving,
the death rates being tar lower there
than elsewhere, and the disabilities
from disease being also far less than in
any other American army post. For
1807 the death rate amon# the soldiers
stationed in AUska was 3.40 per cent
the lowest ever recorded. Indeed
there was but one death among the
soldiers In Alaska during the yeat. and
that was from pneumonia. There was
no case of typhoid fever, and but
one of malaria. Thirty per cent of
the hospital cases were of influenza
and bronchitis.
Previous report* of the surgeon gen
%
eral have emphasized (be truthfulness
of Alaska, and of the entire Pacific
Northwest as well. Tbe health of
tha soldiers serving in the state of
Washington is better than anywhere
else io the country save in Alaska alone
although Minnesota comes closely to
the Washington record.
It was largely upon data such as this
that Dr. Woodruff, of the army, phases
his argument of the superior health
fulness of the humid regions of the
Pacific northwest as compared with
other parts of the country, and his
further argument that a region of
oloudy skits and relatively limited sun_
shine Is better adapted to tbe white
race than those where the sun shines
the greater portion of the time.
As bearing upon this theory, it is to
be noted that the army post in Alaska
which givea the best recorJ of alt Is
that of St. Michael, on an Island on
Bering sea, where there is excessive
fog, a cloudy sky, and a much heavier
precipitation than on the mainland,
out of all proportion greater than in
the interior. ? Post-Intelligeocer. ?
Doctor L. S. Keller, of Skagway.
was on the Princess May last night
en route for Seattle in search, it is
said, of an editor for his Skagwav
paper. ? Juneau Record.
It is to be noted how that, In con
ducting such a search, he hurried
past Jun?au.
"Meanwhile the s* illness of William
Jennings Bryan has taken on all the
absent features ?of John VV. Corson."
And this it from the Juneau itoconl.
What do you know a out that ?

AVE Maria, maiden mUd,
Listen to a maiden's prayer!

Mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!
AVE Marls. Tmdeflled.
The flinty couch we now must share
Shall seem with down of elder plied
If thy protection hover tbere.
The murky cavern's heavy sir
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast
smiled.
Then, maiden, hear a maiden's prayer!
Mother, Uat a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!
AVE Marts; stainless styled.
Foul demons of the earth and air.
From this their wonted haunt exiled.
Shall flee before thy presence fair.
We bow us to our lot of care.
Beneath thy cu 14 since reconciled. '
Hear for a maid a maiden's prayer 3
And for a father hear a child!
Ave Maria I
