ALASKA S MISTREATMENT
(Seattle Post-Int?Iligencer)
Statements made by Maj. Geo. A. W.
Greely, commander of the northern
division of the United State* arm?, In
an address a: Chicago before the Geo
graphic Society, reflected rather seri
ously on public administration In
Alaska, and emphasized with peculiar
appropriateness the need of granting
the territory a greater amount of local
Mlf-govcrnment. The attitude of the
United States toward Alaskans, Gen
Greely says Is the same attitude the
government his always assumed
"toward the aborigines with wh'ch it
has come In contact," and he adds "It
never treated them fairly.1'
(a the esse of Alaska he says the
government ''has put the Esirmos and
Alaska Indians on the road to ruin."
Outrages a few years ago were so pro
nounced, Gen Greely says, it was a
wonder that "the entire lot of gov
ernment officials were no. hangtd by
mob law.
These are hard sayiegs. Yet It
cannot be denied that Alaska has been
the scene of many official abuses the
federal government ought never to
have tolerated. While conditions have
improved somewhat, it Is perfectly
plain that the people of Alaska will
never enjoy efficient and thoroughly
satisfactory administrative conditions
until the government grants them a
territorial form of government. They
are entitled to better treatment at the
hands of the federal government, and
they ought to have it.
It is the rankest kind of folly to hope
for a generally satisfactory admlnista*
lion of public affairs in Alaska, either
in the administrative or judicial depart
ment so long as the presant status is
maintained competent as certain
officers. It is an anomaly in the con
stitutional history of the nation. No
other territory has been treated with
such scant concern. Territories have
been rounded into statehood when tbey
had much less to offer the nat on than
AlasKa now has. yet, the federal gov
ment withholds from A'a>ka the meag
er boon of :erritorial autonomy. The
federal government should be more
considerate of the rignts and Interest
of Alaska and Alaskans, ana then there
would oe less criticism such as Gen.
Greely has passed upon the adminis
tration of affairs in the northern
country.
The Seatt;e Post-Intelligencer refers
to Senator Rayner, of Maryland, as the
successor of Senator Arthur Pue Gor
man. Senator Rayner succeeded Sena
tor McComas in the United States sen
ate. Senator Gorman was succeeded
by Senator William Pinkney Whyte.
It is not very complimentary to Mr
Harriman that all the resentment on
the account of the president's classing
of him and Haywood and Moyer and
Debs together comes from the friends
of the labor leaders.
