GOVERNOR HOGGATT IS OFF (OWN
The dispatches tell us that Governor
Hoeg&tt is already oil for bis winter
at Washington. The governor la
hastening his departure for the capital
city this year over tha'. of laat year
with no general explanation to the
people as to why? in fact without say
imj; a woid about it much less a pre
liminary "by your leave," as courtesy
might dictate in the case of a servant
of the people. This is offered in the
nature of a joke, of course, for this
relationship does not exist as between
Governor Hoggatt and the people of
Alaska. It Is ?afe to say that If he
expected to lived up to such relation
ship he would throw up the job.
The question very properly arlaes.
and for answer, In view of the conduct
of Governor Hoggatt at Washington
last winter, what limitations are placed
upon the duties of the governor of
Alaska? Do they require him for
their psrformance, to be in Washing
ton or Alaska? It is conceivable that
a governor having the best Interest of
the whole people at heart and ia any
general matter affecting ALL their
interests, and in the absence of a regu
lar representative of the people,
might properly go down where tha
legislators are and talk to them of
our needs. But the people of Alaska
are convinced that Governor Hoggat1
Is not in any wl?e la sympathy with
them; be disavows ami sneers at their
expressed withes and, against the
wishes of all the people, who are out
for a fair field and no favor* for a'l
enterprise, he lobbies la the Interests
of certain corporations
We would like to have this question
answered: Is the governor of Alaska
to be allowed to use hit official position
to work for the benefit of special Inter
ests ? Do the duties of the governor
require him to stay here in Alaska or
do they permit bim to spend half his
time out of the district t
This latter question is being asked
o vtfr the district by other newspapers
concerning other federal officers and
with It coupled soother:? "If one feder
al officer, without warrant from Wash
ington, absents himself from the dis
trict. why not others or all of them?"
These questions might as well be ans
wered at the sjme lime.
A TILE WITH * MORAL
Six years ago one of the fishermen
operating a halibut boat in this vicin
ity put his initials on a ten dollar
bill. The next day he came to Ju
neau and spent it with one of the
local merchants. Within six months
he received back that same ten dol
lar bill in payment for a load of fish.
Four times in the next three years
the marked bill came back into his
possession and three times he saw
it in the hands of his neighbors.
Three years ago he enclosed the bill
in a letter to a mail order house in
payment for an overcoat. That is
is the last time he saw the bill. He
will never see it again. That ten dol
lar bill will never pay another debt
In Juneau. It will never build or
brighten another home in this com
munity. When he sent it to that
mail order house he sent it entirely
out of usefulness to himself and to
his neighbors.
The above story is founded on fact,
and it points a moral. Trade with
your home merchant, where your
money will buy anything you want
and where you may get it back again
to be spent again. ? Juneau Trans
script
That Millionaire Phlpps should be
come reconciled to hi9 wife through
an attempt by a blackmailer to do
her harm is another illustration of
that element in human nature ? man
nature, rather ? that had its highest
development in the old days of the
knight errant, and going happily to
show that chivalry is not entirely
dead In these later days. No appeal
Is so strong upon a man after all as
that the woman needs him for her
care and protection and no man is
held in such contempt by other men
as him who denies this protection.
The recent newspapers from Fair
banks refer to "Postmaster Clum,"
which would seem to indicate that
it was the postmastership and not
his old job of inspector to which the
major was reinstated by the order
from Washington to which uncertain
reference was made in despatches
some little time ago.
WHEN I AM DEAD.
WHKN I am dead and nerveless
hands have throat
My bu?y downward Into care
less dust.
I think th? grave cannot auAo*
to hold
My spirit prisoned In the sunless mold,
gome subtle memory of you shall be
A resurrection of the lite ot me?
Yea. I shall be, because I love you so.
The speechless spirit of all things that
grow.

until last June. The outfit Is said to
be the most complete of any In Alaska,
comprising an electric light plant,
telephone system, sawmill and machine
