NO TIME rOR PARTY POLITICS
A Juneau paper urges that the com
ing contest for a delegate in congress
be conducted along tbe lines of nation
al politics. It is not likely that the
suggestion will mee: with f^vur, nor is
it for the best interest of the district
that it should.
The questions that separate the peo
ple of the nation into democrats and re
publicans do not apply to the conditions
that exist in Alaska at all. If part;
lines should be drawn men who should
be working together for Alaska's ad
vancement would be working one
against the oth r. There would be di
vision where there should be union.
With party tickets in the field a
strong minority with selfish purposes
to serve in local matters could, by
throwing its Influence to one side or
the other, thwart the will of the major
ity of Alaskans on the real issues that
confront them for an indefinite time.
A very great majority of the people
of Alaska want SELF-GOVERNMENT.
The surest way to get that is to make
it the one great paramount issue of the
coming campaign, and fov those who
favor it to stand shoulder to shoulder.
Let us make sure of our American her
itage. That is a question that concerns
republicans and democrats alike, and
one for which they can work in unison.

NOTABLE MAN DIES
Former Governor James S. Ho^g, of
Tesjs, the first man to formulate and
secure the enactment of an effective
railroad commission law and to enforce
the same to its strictest letter, Is dead.
He passed away at Houston, Texas,
March 3, at the comparatively oarly
aire of 55 yeais. He was one of the
remarkable men of his time He was
cne of the biggest lawyers in th? na
tion. As a business man he made mil
lions. and as a politician be was so suc
cessful that he refused honors, to se
cure which others, who are deemed
successful, have struggled for a life
time in vain. He was twice governor
of his state and was ifTered a third
term, which he declined. He was then
offered a seat in the Un ted States sen
ate and refused that.
Gov. Hogg did very much to perpetu
ate conditions that have caused Texas
to be called the best governed of the
American states. His wows will live a
long time and those whom he has left
will keep his memory green.
A QUESTION OF VIEWPOINT
A Juneauite says the appointment of
Got. Hoggatt was a great victory for
that town. When Alaska was given a
code and municipal incorporation act,
and when the district was allowed rep
resentation in congress, Skagwayans
claimed great victories. It is simply
a question of viewpoint. The Juneau
Ite saw a great victory when a piece of
pie was given a citizen of his town
Skagwayans see a great victory when
Alaska makes a step forward in the ac
quisition of its rights. According to
the Skagway way of looking at it, if
Gov. Hoggatt shall make a great gov
ernor then Skagway will have won a
great victory as well as J upeau. If the
only victory in connection with the ap
pointment of Gov. Hoggatt has to do
with his place of residence it will be
one not worth the winning. The Daily
Alaskan hopes and believes that Gov.
Hoggatt will demonstrate that his ap
pointment was a victory tor those of
all sections of the district.
The man with the rotary engine to
tun over Alaskan ice ffelds (?) again
has the floor. The machine will pene
trate Alaska as far as it can be gotten
on a steamer. Some of these inventors
who never saw Alaska seem to work on
the theory that in the winter time this
district is a great level ice plain. The
Alaskan coast is lined with ice locorao
tivs that cover got beyond ! the
seashore.
The easiern papers call itthe"TiIl
man-Hepburn" rate bill; so Tillman's
fame will not rest entirely upon his sue
cess with his pitchfork.
Congratulations, Governor Hoggatt 1

GOV. SWINEFORD
FOR DELEGATE
A Seattle dispatch of March 8 says a
movement has been put on foot to send
ex-Governor Swineford to congress as
Alaska's tirst delegate.
It is claimed that be is particularly
?ligible for the delegateship for the
reason that he had never been a fac
tional man.

Phoebe and Harriet Reynolds, sisters

pany, of which it is said Gov. Brady is

gineer of the Reynol Is-Alaska company.
