THEY SAY.
It has been announced through the
columns of the outside papers that
Delegate James H. Wickersham hail
left Washington in disgust; that he
was a broken man; that he was com
ing back to labor for the election of
Major J. P. A. Strong for Alaska's
next Delegate.
It may be true that he has left
Washington in disgust; there is -J very
reason why he or any other honest
tuan should havo done so under the
circumstances. But those who make
the charge will fu*l that he is far
from being a broken man ? he is not
of the kind that break.
1( it be true that he is coming back
to labor for the election of Major
jjiroiig as Alaska's next delegate, it
is because he believes that Major
Strong can do more for Alaska's good
than any other that he knows oL Thi
is perfectly reasonable when the com
plexion of the house is taken into con
Kideration.
Wickereoam is not broken ? though
there are many of the grafting large
interests who would like to believe it.
WILEY AND WICKERSHAM
It is the announced purpose of Con
gress to probe the Wiley- \\ ickersham
episode. That which the peopia would
know and that which Congress will
try to find out is, who are the real
assailants of Dr. Wiley, and by what
manipulation have they enlisted the
sympathy and aid of the Attorney
General?
would sooner trust the people than
the interests who mo at loudly pro
claim against the " (.novations." ? Val

The offense which Dr. Wiley com
mitted, if it can bo colled an offense,
was purely technical, and was forced
upon him by the conditions that con
fronted him and the things that he
desired to accomplish in his office.
The law forbids the payment of more
than $4,CH>0 as an annual salary to
"experts," or what is figured to be
an average per diem compensation
of $11. Expect Rusby was needed
by Dr. Wiley in the conduct of his
department. Expert Rusby worked ca
a fee system. His fee was $1*0 a day
for laboratory work and $.'>0 a day
when he apeared in court. Dr. Wiley
did not have employment that would
demand his services for the full year
but the services he must hare, so
he arranged for $1600 worth, at the
rates named by the expert.
The Wickersham solicitude over an
offense of this character is rather
amazinc when we consider the fact
that so much money is spent by Uhe
Attorney-General's ofice for the em
ployment of experts in the law ? spe
cial counsel ? on the fee basis, and at
figures that make this xependiture
by Dr. Wiley look insignificant. Com
pUatkxis have been going the rounds
lately of the prices paid by the De
partment of Justice to the Kellogg
law firm and others, for services in
"trust busting." The Kellogg figures
will serve well enough for an example
? something in excess of $77,000 for
a little more than two years' service
Surely there is super-seusitiveness
demanding strict compliance with the
letter rather than the spirit of the
law on the part of the Atorae>'-Gen
eral in this Wiley mater; a state of
mind that is not at all understood in
view of the record of expense for a
similar purpose in the Atoraey-Gener
al's office.'
Al] this demands explanation, and
the country would be pleased if Con
gress would enforce compliance with
that demand. ? Portland Telegram.
The stock argument of those op-(
posed to the recall is that it is "un
republican" in form. If to vest the
power of the government directly in
in the hands of the people is "unre
publican" then let us abolish the re
public and establish a Democracy. We
