WE NEED AN ORGANIZATION
It is painfully apparent that the
home rule element in Alaska need
to organize if they would win in the
fight they are waging for territorial
government and against the infamous
administration measures which pro
pose to foist an appointive council up
ou us. As matters stand no* the
fight resembles that of a small body
of trained troops against a mob: and
discipline and organized effort always
winn In cases of this kind.
The interests back of the Bever
idge and Hamilton bills have the ap
proval of the President and his aids
de camp: they have several experi
enced lobbyists working for them and
they are able, through the aid of
money to bring witnesses from Alaska
to testify in their favor. Pink was
such a one: so was Ferguson.
Opposed to this highly orguuized
force James Wickersham stands al
inos' single handed. True, the people
and the press of Alaska are behind
Wickersham. but our voices are not
heard in Washington and save for
the aid of a few public spirited con
gressmen. whose help has been enlist
ed largely by personal friends and by
the Inherent justice of our cause,
Wickersham stands alone.
He Is compelled to dispute witness !
after witness, apparently men of stan
ing who have been brought to Wash- 1
ington to give testimony that will ]
help pass one or the other of the ad
ministration measures. Wickersham j
has done all that one man could do: I
he has shown the falsity of many of
the statements of these traitorous wit
nesses. he has revealed their motives
but at the same time preponderance
of evidence cuts a large figure and
the legislators will soon wonder who
Wickersham represents and why the
people of Alaska have not witnesses
lu court.
If the tfrritoriali.su of Alaska had
an organization which would be sup
ported by all the people of the north
who believe in houie rule ? and that
would mean ninety per cent of the
population ? we would have a cam
paign fuud that would enable us to
send to Washington representative
men from every part of Alaska who
could refute the testimony of the
paid witnesses and corporation hire
lings who now have the ear of Con
gress. and who would represent the
true state of affairs In a manner that
would bring conviction. Wickersham
would have able support and the Bev
eridge aud Hamilton bills would stand
no chance of passing.
The individual leaders in the home
rule fight canuot spare the time or
the money to go to Washington and
present their cause, but a well organiz
ed territorial association would be
able to collect funds and to select
men to send on to Washington.
A territorial association should be
formed with this end In view and
The Alaskan suggests that the home
rule press head the movement. Let
local associations be formed in each
town, with say a contribution of $1
per member and let each local asso
ciation send representatives to a con
vention to be held In Juneau, and let
this convention select a number of
men to go to Washington to testify
before Congress with credentials from
the association.
The Alaskan is willing to take the
initiative in this matter, but the home
rule press and all individuals who be
lieve in home rule must heartily co
operate. And time Is a prime essen
tial. We must get busy.

ALASKAN USES
PARCEL PAPER
Through a misunderstanding the
Cordova Alaskan failed to receive an
cxpected shipment of news print paper
on Feb. 10 ami as a result were en
tirely out of stock. They were only
able to borrow a small supply from
the North Star, as 'hat paper was
also running short.
With the resourcefulness, so charat
teristlc of the newspaper profession,
the Alaskan staff went about town
and collected a large supply of or
dlnary wrapping paper from the mer
chants. The Alaskan was printed on
this paper for several days. An a
natural rosult somo of its recont la
sues are rather "yellow."
