WHV NOT PRESENT THE EVI
OENCE?
In the ordinary couise of events
when the people o f a state, a district
or a territory elect a representative
to congress he is supposed to repre
sent his constituents and is entitled I
to a respectful hearing on any matter
which v' tally concerns the people
whom he represents.
Yet wheu Delegate James Wicker
sham arrived in Washington to at
tend the present session of congress
and attempted to arrange an inter
view with President Taft in regard to
matters pertaining to Alaskan legis
lation, the President refused point
blank to see Mr. Wickersham. saying
that "it was no use. His mind was
already made up." ? Skagway Alaskan
That President Taft did refuse to
allow Delegate Wickersham an In
terview there is no getting away from
but the president was perfectly with
in his rights. When Judge Wicker
sham was given an opportunity to
talk with the president on a former
occasion he attempted to mislead and
misinform the president and there
after. when President Taft found out
the character of man Wickersham
was. he, of course, would have noth
ing more to do with him. The same
class of double dealing as tripped
Delegate Wickrsham up at Douglas
caused his being in disgrace with the
president and there is no one except
Wick himself to blame for It. ? Juneau
Record.
In replying in the manner above
?o he editorial published in The Al
askan charging President Taft with
narrowness and partiality in refusing
to grant an interview to Delegate
Wickersham who wanted to present
to the President the true state of af
* fairs in the north, and in lending his
ears to the notorious mis-statements
made by Hoggatt, Richardson and
others actuated by the same motives,
the Juneau Record states that Wick
srem attempted to mislead and mis
inform the President and gives this aJ
the reason the President refused to
see Wickersham.
The Record should remember that
statements carry more conviction
when they are presented with cor
roborative evidence. When did Wick
ersham misinform the President?
What did he tell the chief executive
that was in any way misleading?
If the R*MM>rd possessed any infor
mation to this effect it would em
blazon it on its front page with shriek
ing headlines. The surest proof that
nothing of the sort ever happened is
the fact that The Record is unable to
publish the details of the hypothet
ical happening.
Rest assured that The Record would
spare no pains or expense to collect
tangible evidence of double deajing
on the part of James Wickersham.
Instead of producing evidence to
prove its allegationsr? for the simple
and all sufficient reason that it does
not possess one iota of evidence of
this nature ? The Record resorts to
unsupported villlfication. The sourc
considered, the falsity of the state
ments stands apparent.

A sergeant was ouce drilling a squad

norant. One of rheiu could not tell his
right hand from his left. The ser
geant proceeded to leach tbeu and at
last attained some degree of success.
