JUSTICE FOR ALASKA.
In his address at the dinner of the
Arctic Club in this city. Delegate
J aiiies Wlckeraham, of Alaska, made
It perfectly plain that he will brook'
no interference in his tight for the'
constitutional rights of the northern1
country. That is the correct attitud ;
and Mr. Wlckersham will recieve, as,
he should recieve. the cordial support!
o( Seattle, and of the state of Wash j
ington. in such efforts as he may make .
to secure justice for Alaska and Al ,
askans.
The outlook for Alaska was newt
brighter than it is today. The prog-:
ress made along material lines has
been steady in spite of difficulties anu
embarrassments of one kind aud an
other. No section of this country has
known such marvelous growth. ^ lth
political trammels removcd.so that
Alaska may exercise the constitution
al rights of a self governing territory,
progress will be more rapid.
In his address in this city Mr. ^ ick- j
ersham said "no other gentleman Is j
authorized to represent Alaska inj
congress." and he added that he did ,
not believe "any other official will soi
far forget his oath of office as to pr<
sume to represeut the people of Ala
ska" by attempting to interfere with
his work iu congress. The people
here will at least hope that Mr. Wick
ersham is right in believing that there
will be no further Interference with'
the work of Alaska's delegate in con
gress.
Heretofore there has been interfer
ence; it has been serious, too, in its
influence upon the affairs of the nor
them country. Territorial govern- j
ment has been delayed, not because
Alaska has not needed territorial gov
eminent, and not because Alaskans
did not want it. but because med
dling appointive officials, whose mot
ives are not above question, have per- j
.listed in the offensive practice of die
latin* the policies or the federal gov
ernment In its relation to Alaska.
Whether such hurtful meddllug Is
designing and selfish, or whether it
Krows out of honest conviction aud a
patriotic regard for Alaska and Alas
kans, let us hope that there will be
no more of it._ Give Alaska a square
deal; give Alaska the kind of govern
ment the framers of the constitution
intended a free territory should have,
the kind of government every other
territory has enjoyed since the begin
ning of this republic, and the whole
aspect of life, of industry, of com
merce, of agriculture, of education, and
of political and civic energies will
change as it touched by a wand.
Alaska is but asking Justice, and Jus
tice Alaska must have.? Seattle P. I
The citizens of Rockwell, Texas,
cannot be severely censured for the
burning alive ot the negro who
assaulted a white woman in that town
The terrible punishment will act as a
warning in the future and the culprit'
deserved no mercy. As an abstract ;
proposition the laws should be obey
ed; but occasionally some particular-'
ly atrocious act seems to warrant
lynching.
As long as Alaska is ruled like a
captured province, we may expect to ;
see outsiders appointed to of ficia.1 ,
positions which rightfully belong to !
Alaskans; we may expect to have;
slim appropriations from congress;
we may expect mis-rule and misman
agement in general. Home rule
Is what AlaskA needs.
The census of the United States i
must be taken in 1910. Justice and
common'senst* demand that the four
thousand employees who will take the
census be appointed under the civil
service rules. But such Is the power
of federal patronage, that congress
preferred the "spoils system."
Taft has been president for four
days and no one lias heard any dis
turbance In the vicinity of the White
house. How different when Teddy
was on the job.
The man who sold the Haines In
dians the liquor which resulted in a
three cornered stabbing affray, is the
man that the law should punish.
C. M. Summers of Juneau seems to i
be of the opinion that might makes
right. Another dose of cold lead may
correct this error.
Irrespective of politics, all Vlnskans <
unite In congratulating Ci?n Wilford i
