Seattie Post-Intelligencer says federal office holders

and should be lorced into retirement

(Seattle l'ost-Jntelligencer)
| No doubt Frank H. Was key, former
! delegate, is correct when he says that
?'the territorial government movement
i? more active than ever before" in
Alaska, and it is a helpful and hopeful
sign to know that the business men are
now taking a aoeener interest in politi
cal is-ues with a view of continuing the
| fight for loe?l self-government. Mr.
: Was key tried to force the issue upon
] the n..tioual congress at its last session
and he is hopeful that Mr. C'ale, the
present delegate, will continue the
work w!j*n he returns to Washington
text wintrr.
There can be little doubt as (o the i
sentiment, of the people of Alaska on I
Hie question of territorial government, j
They very earnestly ilcsire a reason- j
able amount of local self-government, ;
antl their best interests demand it.
The real needs of Alaska in this par
ticular have not been fairly represented
by those who have arrayed themselves
Against the movement for territorial
j autonomy, anil It is difficult to under"
I stand how congress or tho executive
could have been deceived into the be
lief that the people of the northern
country now have the kind of govern
ment best suited to their needs. The
people of Alaska should make it too
plain to be misread that they need and
must have a change from the present,
form of government.
Every American citizen in Alaska:
should take up the cause of territorial j
government and force the authorities I
at the national capital to do the right
ml the: square thing by the nor! hern
country. Alaskans should strongly
support Delegate ('ale in his efforts,
and they should turn their hands
againist those who are standing in
Alaska's way. Alaska must be molded
into a territory. Ufticiala who are op
posing the movement with the hope of
holding on to the public teat should be
forced into retirement. They are not
among the real friends of Alaska, and
public sentiment should lash them out
of the way.
