AS TO THE GOVERNORSHIP.
The resignation of Governor Hog
gatt wan not expected. " Nor was the
uominatiou of Walter &. Clark, of
V ashingtou, D. C., to be his succes
sor. It is uot ne> ,'ssary to here dis
cuss Governor lloggatt's motive in
tendering his resignation. It may be
t)iai he was pinned because Secre
tary Balliuger included him iu the
i.udesirable list; it may have been
because of business reasons. Hut
tne important fact is that he has re
s'gueU and his resignation will be
come effective on October i uext
The Herald's opiuiou of Governor
lioggatt, as executive of Alaska is
Kuowu. For the governor as a man
aud a gentleman, we have respect,
but we also believe that in his offi
cial capacity he is a distinct disap
pointment aud failure.
As for Mr. Clark and his qualifica
tious for the office to which he has
been nominated by President Taft,
much might be said, largely by way
o? speculation, however. He ought
Jo be endowed with the ability re
quired to discharg ? the few import
ant duties attached to the office,
llis occupation iu life should make
him familiar with men and things.
He has some knowledge of Alaska
anil the conditions obtaining iu the
ttrritory, having visited it once or
twice iu the past few years. He
should know Alaska politicians. By
tr.-is designation we mean the lead
ers of the several Republican fac
tions iu Alaska which are forever
quarreling about the division of the
loaves and fishes, aud doing every
thing possible (and impossible) to
obstruct the other fellow's pat'j to
the piecounter. Mr. Clark knows
these men; aud he has been at all
times judicious ? except, perhaps', in
.1 commercial sense ? in the distribu
tion of the favors that his position
as a newspaper correspondent in the
national capital, have glvju him. He
has at times shown a disposition to
color his correspondence for the ap
larent purpose of securing favors for
special individuals or special Inter
ests. without regard, we think, to
the merits of either. But as gover
nor he might assume a new and lof
f.er plane of thought and action.
While the Herald would much pre
fer to have seen a real, bona fide,
Aiaskan nominated for tho office, it
i'o-s not propose to throw rocks at
Mr. Clark. We have said many times
tl.at there are Rt publicans in Alaska,
ten of integrity and ability, capable
<>t filling with dignity and distinction
any office within the gift of the
piesidenL It is a matter of pro
r uud r-'gret that the factions are
ever ready to jump at each other's
ti.roat, and claw each other's eyes.
This fight of factions has long been
a standing disgrace to the dominant
political party. And just here we
may state that President Taft errs
when he judges Alaskans in the
light of factional fights within his
own party In Alaska. The average
Alaskan asks only that capable and
honorable men be appointed to fed
eral office in the territory. Alaskans
are to be preferred at all times to
tiie stranger, but If the stranger be
appointed, Alaskans should have the
right to insist he be honest and com
petent.
Mr. Clark's nomination has been
confirmed by the senate and It Is to
be hoped that he will discharge his
official duties with an eye single to
the welfare of all Alaska, and with
out fear or favor. He has a long list
distinguished failures to make
plain the shoals on which his prede
cessors wrecked themselves and in
jured tho torritory ? .Katalla Herald.
But avoid foolish questions, and
genealogies, and contentions, and
strivings about the law; they are un
profitable and vain ? Titu Chapter
3-9.
Home rule for Alaska.

MY FIRST SCHOOLTEACHER.
r SEE her as sho u--.nl to stnnil
I Beside the schoolhouse <loor.
The while somo twenty noisy boys
[ Went trooping In before-.
A shepherdess in Arcady,
A saint of faroff days.
Whoso only guerdon from tho world
Was peace In quiet ways.
I often marked the anxious look
That came Into her face
If so It happened that she missed
Some urchin from his place.
As well as never falling: smllo
That greeted lessons learned
And. too. that dreaded thine, her frown.
When punishment was earned.
Not that she frowned In anger. It
Was grief that lllled her breast
When Impish prank or sullen mood
Of ours disturbed Its rest.
"My boys" she called us. for sho loved '
Us. were wo dull or bright.
And never boyish trouble came
But she could set us right.
As gentle as a mother's was
Her touch and soothing words
Till little aching hearts were mado
As gleeful as a bird's.
To her was given the gift of gifts,
Th* charm of charms? to mend
The Broken things of life, for sho
Was counselor and friend.
No doubt she had her hour of woe.
And yet her face was fair.
And girlhood's roses lingered still.
Though silvered was her hair.
For me she lives, ono gravely sweet.
Old memories among.
Although she sleeps, as many such.
Unlaureled and unsung.
