HOW IT LOOKS OUTSIDE
Formerly only a few of the papers
here in Alaska mentioned the attitude
of Governor Ho^gatt towards the rights
of the ter i'ory. Bye and bye the num
ber increased until practica'ly all of the
papers of the territory were arrayed
against him. The governor then plead
ed that a newspaper war was being
waged against him to hurt him at
Washington and he was bitter against
the papers of Alaska.
Now, however, the tight has been
taken up against him by the papers of
the outside and it is interesting to im
agine just what plea he will advance
for their beigg unfavorable to his way
of thinking. ?
The article taken from the Post-In
telligencer below is a fair statement of
where the governor is wrong and, al
though this newspaper had intended to
make bat scint reference to the gover
nor's policy hereafter, the Post-Intelli
gencer's article is too good to overlook
and we publish it. That paper says:
"A fuller statement of Gov. Hoggatt's
recent utterances at Dawson, on the
subject of a change in Alaska's form of
government, credits him with saying a
territorial form of government "may be
? wise form" when the time comes to
adopt it: but, "after carefully weighing
the matter" be has reached the con
clusion that the lime has not yet arrived
for the change. The majority of peo
ple of Alaska take the contra; y view.
Gov. Hoggatt's statement that "the
newspaper campaign is designed to de
stroy my lnriuence with the national
government" is unworthy of him. In
his own admission that the people of
Alaska are earnestly supporting the
campaign for local self-government, he
may find an explanation of why news
papers friendly to Alaska, are opposed
to bis views, for (he newspapers believe,
not unreasonably, that the people of Al
aska, including two delegates specifi
cally instructed on the precise issue,
are less apt to be wrong in this particu
lar matter than Gov. Hoggait and the
corporations.
When Gov. Hoggatt admits that the
people of Alaska Jeiire a territorial
form of government. and urges at tbe
tame time that such a form of govern
ment would not cow be good for them,
he says, io effect, that American citi
zen* of Alaska are n >t intelligent enough
to know their own needs, but must look
to him, or some other person of superior
intelligence, for guidance and protect
ion.
Surely, Gov. Hoggatt does not mean
to say any'such thing of bis intelligent
and loyal countrymen in the northern
oountry. If he thinks any such thicg
of Alaskans, he shou d get closer to
them and kao*' them better. Perhaps
if he knew them better h? would be
more inclined to trust them with the
mansgement of their own affairs. Al
askans know wha they want. They
know what !hey need They know
what they must have in order to make
the best possible use of their intelligent
energies and r .ch opportunities.
If Gov Hoggatt will get a bit closer
to Alaskans, they may be able to con
vince him that Alaska is even now
ready for the j jst constitutional powers
the American government has always
conferred u|<on territories in like cir
cumstances. aoJ that's what the gover
nor ought to do.
TOUGH ON COWS
The case in Justice Tanner's court
yesterday wheriin a citizen was tiotd
for allowing h s cows to run in the
streets may have the effect of causing a
lot of litigation, as the owner declares
he is going to test the case. Theordin
ance, of oourse will stand the test, but
li does seem rather hard on a man to
have to pay a tine for Jetting his cows
get a little greec grass that would
otherwise go to waste. The animals in
Alaska do no: have tbe pastures to roam
In that the ones outside do and the price
of feed is high up here. Of course this ]
newspaper does not believe in making ;
a barnyard ot tbe streets of tbe town, j
but it does think that a good deal of j
latitude should be allowed the animals.
Judge Tanner had no discretion In the
. I
matter and cjould not do otherwise
The only thin; that can be done Is to
get the council to modify the ordinance
somewhat.

An effort is being made to discover
bis identity.

(Special Dispatch to Daily Alnskati)
Whashington, Aug, 8? The depart
ment of Justice has announoed its in
tentioa to at once institute suit against
parent companies of the Standard Oil
combination and ask that the trust
be forced into dissolution under the
provisions of the Shernan Act. Should
the litigation, which will likely take a
year before linally determined, result
in a decision favorable to the United
States, the result will be that the
Standord Oil will be forced tj go out of
business. It is confidently predicted
by those back of the suiti now instituted
and which are about to be brought
that Hues aggregating more millions
than the trust has taken from the
psople during its lifetime will be im
posed against it.
