LARGELY A QUESTION OF TAiTE
The Ketchikan Journal refers to
"the office" the editor of the Daily
Alaskan "expects to get" when Alaska
shall hare been made a self-governing
territory. The Daily Alaskan cares,
nothing for such silly jibes, ?nd men
lions th's only because it serves to il
lustrate a point.
The editor of the Ketchikan Journal
came to Alaska from Wyoming with a
carpet bag in his hand and an official
commission in his pocket. He held of
fice a long lime and prospered. Be hu
been displaced in office by another man
who came, similarly burdeoed, from
New York. Neither of them were
known in Alaska when they left their
home*. Those who get office when
Alfskans shall have come" into noses
?ioj of their right to govern them
selaes will have to be residents of the
dis'rict, and they will have to submit
their claims to the other resident*.
Their neighbors and fellow citiiens
will have to pas* upon their characters
and qualifications.
The Dally Alaskad does not mention
this for the purpose of making a point
against the personality or officia1 ca
pacity of Mr. Coutant or Mr. Lull. It is
to the discredit of no man that he is or
has been a carpetbagger. If a
carpetbwgger makes a good offi
cial he is entitled to as much credit
as though he had been selected for
preferment by the people. The point
is against the system which gives a
people strange men, owing their posi
tions to others than those whom they
are supposed to serve, for officials, and
against the iack of good tas'e in the
Ketchikan Journal, whose editor has
profited wondroualy bv the old system,
in attributing selfish uotives to those
who wish to change it for one in which
the people make their own selection of
officers.

Brady has gone and now we are as
sured that "Shengame" Jackson and
his missionary pets are to be divorced
from the reindeer graft. This very de
sirable result is bring brought about,
not by po'itical pull or hatred of holy
things on the part of ungjdly advent
urers. such as it was proclaimed with
much gusto from eastern missionary
boards inspired the opposition to these
men, but as the result of an investiga
tion by a high official in the adrninis
tiation of President Roosevelt, who
finds the charges that have been made
by press and people afxinst them to be
true.
The democrats of the Peoria, Illinois,
congressional district offered the nom
ination for congress to John Mitchell,
the head of the mine workers' federa
tion. He promptly declined, saying he
could, under no circumstance, take a
political office while at the head of a
non-partizan labor organization.
So Cortelyou has butted into the
Alaskan governorship fight. In what
capacity does he ask for favors? As

Call and McCurdy filched from the pol
icy holders of the New York Life and
