THE WAY TO DO IT
The fight that the people of Arizona
made against the joint statehood bill,
whicQ was before the Fifty-ninth con
gress and by the terms of which Ari
zona and New Mexico were to enter the
Union as one state, has borne fruit.
President Roosevelt took a hand in the
matter when the bill was before con
gress and insisted upon joint statehood
or nothing. Today he has wired Gov
ernor Kibbey that owing to the opposi
tion of the people of Arizona the ad
ministration will not irslst upon such
union, but that the wishes of the peo
ple will be respected.
The effort to force this union upon
the people of Arizona met ^ith the
most bitter opposition and was produc
tive of a long and protracted tight in
congress.? Fairbanks News.
The story of Arizona and New Mexi
co is identical with that of Alaska.
Arizona at the time the joint statehood
agitation began had a Governor who
assumed the same position us Governor
Hog?jatt over the people. The Arizona
governor wanted to force the people
into having joint statehood instead, at
Hoggatt does here, wanting them to re
main outside. The Arizona Governor,
Klbbey, wanted to have the joint state
hood because be thought he would be

one of the senators. Governor Hog
gatt wants Alaska to remain as It is be
came he knows be can never get an
elective office, and he delights to bask
In the limelight and fears the oblivion
he feels is coming over him. But in
the Southwest they do things different
than here in -,he North. The Repub
licans grew tired of Kibbey. The Ter
ritorial Republican Central Committee
met. They passed resolutions showing
Kibbey in his true light and they sent
the resolutions on to Washington with
a committee. The Committee went.
They paid their own personal expensea.
President Roosevelt saw the people
were against the Arizona Governor and
he declined to champion the cause of
the Governor. That is all that will be
necessary in Alaska. It Is not very
much, sfter all, and now it looks as if it
were going to be done. The under
handed work of Governor Hoggatt in
the Wickersham case will likely bring
It about.
THE FUTURE UF WICKERSHAM
We would iofer from the Record, of
Saturday, that in the future the officials
in Alaska will have to receive social
passports from Governor Hoggatt. It
is intimated by the governor's organ
that be holds the fate of each and every
official in the hollow of bis hand, and
that the president has an eye single to
the governor a* to who should adminis
ter law and justice in Alaska.
That Governor Hoggatt could make
or unmake James Wickersham is silly
rot. That Governor Hoggatt figures
with the head of the government in
an& other way than to file a report
with his department on matters re
quested is a foolish statement. That
President Rooaevelt requests Governor
Hoggatt to give him a helping hand in
naming judges for the Alaskan bench
is a statement so absolutely foolish as to
brand it the rankest rot.
We infer from the article printed
that President Roosevelt finds the
friends of Judge Wickersham distaste
ful. As Governor Hoggatt and other
officials were his intimate Juneau ac
quaintances we may sooo^ee others take
the route to private life.
The resignation of James Wicker
ham is evidently his desire to retire to
private practice. It is evident that he
no longer wishes to court to other offi
cials to continue In public office which
pays neither wealth or popularity.
James Wickersham has a future in
private life and politics in Alaska
which will allow him to repay in kind
for the savage attacks of unpopular of
ficials after he has given up a fight that
waa unfair and distasteful to himself
and friends. Wickersham is and al
ways will be a delegate possibility in
Alasxa- He Is dangerous to every pol
itician who aspires to this high office.
Ha ts today the strongest puolio official
la Alaska before the people. He will
be heard from In Alaska when those
that now seek to belittle him are
snowed under by popular vote of the
people.
We feel that Governor Hoggatt 1
being placed in an unfair light by tLe
paper that c'alms to be the organ of the
governor. As the governor is away
there Is no way of securing his official
denial of the statement published tbm
he was the instrument that oauiec
Wickertbam to withdraw from a figh'
that would iu the end have resulted in
his confirmation.? Juneau Dispatch.
ALASKAN TRADE
An Alaskan railroad promoter is said
to be en route to Portland for the pur
pose of securing funds with which to
build a short line into the Copper river
country. He was unsuccessful in 1
securing aid in Seattle and hopes to
float his scheme In Portland. If it is ?
good ooo and he can show it up a? >
straight clean-cut business proposition,
he may find investors here who ?rn
willing to take a chance. But Port
land is becoming somewhat weary of
Alaska transportation schemes which
begin nowhere and end nowhere except
in the pockets of the promoter. More
than a year ago an effort was mar'.e to
float a steamship company which wat
expected to bring an immense trade to
this city, but it failed simply be
cause the men behind the enterprise
were unable to show a sufficient degree
of financial responsibility. Portland is
said to be (low, and this may bo true;
but she is also safe, and Is not making
any wildcat Investment without know
ing something about the ultimate re
results,
Next to a forty-foot chtnnel on tne
Columbia bar, there is nothing In the
commercial line of which Portland
stands so much in need as a steamship
line to Alaska. Someday there will be
a slackening Id the pace at which we
we are making money, and it will be
come necessary to do a little rustling' on
our own account. When that day
comes we mar turn to the long-neglect
ed and (oy Seattle) much abused Alas
ka trade. But the entry should be
made in the proper manner. With at
least three larre, fast, modern built
steamers and Portland's prestige as
a trade center, no grea' difficulty would
be encountered in winning our way
in a field which we have simply
neglected in the rush of other business.
A city that cau raise $100,000 for
a rose show lasting a few days
ought to subscribe with a rush the
money needed to secure and maintain
for at least a year a first-class Alaska
steamship line ? Portland Oregonian.
The discovery that 87 per cent of the
divorce petitions in New Jersey last
year were based on the evils of drink
moves the Baltimoae American to de
cide that the girl who marries a man
to reform him is making a great mis
take. But the tri'.th of the matter is
that a good many men take to drink
after they are married.
KINDNESS
So many Gods, so man; Creeds,
So many ways that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all this sad world needs. -Ex

Ao Illinois judge has decided that it
is perfectly proper for a man to want
to kiss a woman if 9he is pretty. If
she isn't pretty we assume that a due

they get older they won't have a light
there because there is a man in there.
