Our Governor Is Not in Favor of Popular
Government but Says He Not G-oing to
Fight Congressional Representatives
Go?. W. B. Ho<rgatt will leave onthe
Jefferson for the south and east. He
goes to Washington, there to confer
with the secretary of the interior and
the heads of other departments with
reference to recommendations for Alas
kan legislation. He denies that he
will npp.se self-government for Alaska,
and admits that he is very much op
posed to it and that he is cot at all in ;
sympathy with the platform upon |
which Delegates Frank H. Waskey and
Thomas Cale were chosen as delegates
to congress by overwhelming major
ities, or the one upon which Gov. Swine
ford swept Southeastern Alaska from
Skagway to Ketchikan. Nor is he dis-j
posed to admit that as governor, he is j
bound to p4V any attention to what tae I
people of the district desire. His the
ory seems to be that be is governor j
and that it is up to him to do what he I
thinks is best for Alaska without re
gard to the wishes of the people. He
says he desires to work with the del
egates as much a< that shall be
possible, considering the differeut
standpoints from which they work.
| Gov. Hoggatt is thoroughly con
vinced that the United States senate j
will nevergive Alaska self-government, j
He says the committee on territories is j
so organised that it would not recom- !
mend for passage such a bill no matter .
what the people of Alaska desire in the
premises.The governor's position|is that
the people should get wiat they can ?
and not ask for anything that will an
tagonize the controlling powers in the
senate or the departments at Washing.
ton. He thinks the delegates should
not ask for territorial government.
That a demand for such was the first
plank in their platform, he seems to
think, should hare no 'jindinsr force
upon ihem. He is not in sympathy at
all with the sentiment that people
should exercise their privilege of ask
ing for what they want, or for their
rights as citizens of the republic,
Gov. Hoggatt is yery frank in declar
ing himself. He is for the develop
ment of Alaska's dollar-making possi
bilities rather than for the devel
opment of the district as a self-govern
ing community of American homes. He
i is also skeptical as to the ability or
the disposition of a majority of the
Alaskan people to give the district a
fair, honest capable and economical
government.
However, referring to the published
statements at Juneau lhat, he will work
against the accomplishment of the
tilings for which the delegates stand
pledged he said they were entirely un
authorized. Yet he is taking a position
that evitably leads to the conclusion
that he believes he, and not the dele
gate to l ongrcfs. is the man who should
be paramount in recommending the
legislation for Alaska.
Gov. iloggatt, of course, would not
speak of his reoewnmendations in his
annual report. That will be given out
by the war department.
Gov. Hug>-alt was in Skagway all day
Saturday, going to Juneau on the Dol
phin Saturday evening. He was the
guest of Major Richard?on most of the
time while here.

Nothing to Fear
The question of injurious substanc.s
in medicines which has been agitating
the minds of many people, does not con
cern those who use Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Mothers need have no
hesitarcy in continuing to give it to
their little ones, as it contains absolute
ly nothing injurious. This remedy is
not only perfectly safe to give small
children, but is a medicine of great
worth and merit. It has a world wide
reputation for its cures of coughs, colds
and croup and can always be relied up
on. For sale by VVm. Britt.
