ARE ALASKANS AMERICANS?
Judging by the amendment to the
Bqveridge bill ma do by the territorial
committee of the Senate the gentle
men who compose this committee
iuiw possess some singular bias
against American (ores of govern
ment. for they have so changed the
bill as to deny Alaskans even the
paltry privlledge of electing a minor
ity of '.he members of the legislative
council that ia to conduct the affairs
of Alaska ? provided the Beveridge
bill is made a law.
It is difficult to find any semblance
of an excuse for this action. It must
inevitably give rise to the question
as to whether Alaskans, the pioneers
who have developed and settled the
great Northland, are really consider
ed as Americans by the legislators
who make our laws. Certainly Con
Kress has shown us less solicitude
and fair play than has been accorded
the Filipinos, the Hawaiians and oth
er alien races who have come under
the paternal care of Uncle Sam.
FVorn a standpoint of sentiment, the
sentimeut of a republican form of
government, that men should rule
themselves, there can be no defense
of Alaskans not having a voice in
their owii affairs.
Evidently the members of the ter
ritorial committee looked at the mat
ter from a strictly business basis.
Alaska has been systematically ex
ploited in the past by the ruthless
hand of commercialism. There will
be less interference with "Butsiness"
if this exploitation is continued un
der appointive officers. It will also
prove cheaper for the "Interests" con
cerned.
That this is good logic is undeni
able. but it is rather disappointing to
people who were raised with a belief
in American institutions and who are
endeavoring to raise their children in
aside for "Business."
However these reasons are merely
sentimental. Sentiment must stand
aside for "Business.
HOWDISHELL SAYS HISTORY
LIES
Gifford Pinchot has become con
vinced that lb? country is in bad
shape. He is saying things today that
only the socialist* and anarchists and
a few populists dared to utter not
many year* ago. Thirty years or
more ago L. H. Weller of Iowa was
in Congress. He saw the tendency of
capital to 3&grahd!ze unto itself the
resource* of the land aird the manage
inent of the government. He was
an enthusiast and cried out against
the danger which seemed so iminent.
He was laughed at. The press de
risively called him "Calamity" Weller'
and since that time every man who
tias had the temerity to sound a note
of warning has been called a calamity
howler, until today the disciples of
Weller are b?<c6tnlng as numberkws
as the sands of the seashore. Old
newspapers that laughed at him are
now using his same' arguments for re
form. Today Iowa has its tariff re
formers. trust buckers and insurgents
In both bouses of Congress.
There is nothtng inherently bad iu
howling otit one's grievances. To pa
tiently endure injuries is the attribute
'of a slave. When we all howl in coiv
cer* there will be something doing in
the way of adjusting tilings more to
the heart's <leslre. History says that
Napoleon usurped the throne of
tYahce. HTstory is a liar. Napoleon
was a republican until ninety per
cent of the people became hypnotized
vwlth the belief that they couldn't get
' along without him ,so they forgot
their republicanism and made him
' emperor.
Roosevelt can return from his Af
rican campaign tomorrow and come
dain near making the same kind of
' monkeys out of the American people.
