HOGGATT TRIES DEMAGOG
DEBT
Why all this reference to the "saloon
?lament" by Got. Hoggatt in m w?y to
imply that the saloon men of Alaska
represem all that is worst in Alaskan
civilization? It it not a cheap slander
upon a class of business men the liglti
rnacy of whose avocation is recognized
by congress in order to pander to
prejudices of the churches and the
temperance people?
The inference to be drawn from the
toTernor's references is a slander be
cause the saloon men of Alaska
rank as high as the saloon men of any
other section of the I'nlted States
measured by whatever standard you
choose to use.
There is another point in this connec
tion. The "had" saloon element at
Nome, the only place where a "saloon
campaign" *a? made at the recent elec"
tion, supported Murane for congress
anil Hoggatt's commission ideas instead
of Waskey and self-government. The
"below the dead-line" vote of Nome
"as against the people of the district
It would seem that Gov. Hoggatt is
not devoid of 'lemagoguery.
The capitol removal ?iu9S'.ion _is
arising, ghost-like, to haunt the deni
zens of Olympia. It will not down
until the adjournment of the legislature
next March*, when, if Oljmpia is lucky,
it will lie iow for another two yeasr. It
is said Gov. Mead, who vetoed the
capital removal bill two years ago.
favors removal now
Skagway is the strongest church
town to Alaska in proportion to its
population and it cast the largest per
centage of its votes for territorial gov
ernment and for Thomas Cale for dele
sate to congress.
Chief ot Police Moore is deserving of
credit in enforcing the sidewalk
ordinance. Snow covered walks are
not oniy annoying and inconvenient out
ibey are dangerous ana trade destroy
ers.
France will test the government
ownership of railroads. One third of
the roads of that country have recent
ly come into the hands of the state by
purchase
The fact of the matter is, and Gov
Hoggatt knows it as well as any of us,
that the advocates of self-government
in Alaska represent the very b?st there
is in the district.

FOUR COUNCILMEN
MAKE QUORUM
It has been held at Fairbanks that
lour members of a city council in Alas
ka constitute a quorum. This in the
face of a statute which provides that
five members are a quorum.
it is held that the statutory provision
is directory and not mandatory.
A quarrel among the couneilmen had
developed at Nome, and those members
of the body who did not agrei with the
majority remained away from its ses
sions, leaving only four men at them. I
It was decided that congress never in
tended that a minority should con
trol the council or prevent the oity
from doing business ? uence the decis
ion that four men could meet and trans
act the city's business.
SIDEWALKS ARE
BEING CLEANED!
