In writing headlines for the dispatch
from Washington, saying that Got.
Swineford had said, not voluntarily,
but in answer to direct questions, that
Valdez or Seward should be the capital
o ( Alaska territory when organized,
the Juneau Dispatch uses the words,
"Swineford Turns Traitor." It follows
that with an editorial, in which It says,
among other things, that Gov. Swine
ford "is a disappointed and disgruntled
old man. who wants revenue because
Juneau would not raise funds to aejd
him to Washington "
If Juneau is to "get in line" with
the remainder of Alaska's prosperous
cities and enterprising communities, as
the Juneau Dispatch urges in some
very appropriate words, it must show
more regard for common sense and jus
tice than is exhibited in this ridiculous
and unwarranted atta-k on Gov. swine
ford.
that a resident of Alaska is a
traitor because he believes that some
other town than Juneau is better situ
ated than it is to be Alaska's capital, is
an exhibition of a stupid and narrow
selfishness, the possession of which has
been one of Juneau's moat burdensome
handicaps. It is an exhibition that
will not have a tendency to make
friends for that place.
The charge that Gov. Swineford
made the suggestion that the capita!
should go to the Westward out of a
spirit of revenge is unjatt and mean. In
the first place ? those familiar with the
facta know it- Gov. Swineford did
not want to go to Washington, at all.
It was only after having been urgently
and pers stently requested to do so thai
he consented to be a candidate before
the convention for the posit on of dele
gate Hut suppose it were otherwise.
Juneau t refusal to meet a public dutv
was no injury to Gov. Swi eford. He
is in Washington, and h s expenses are
being paid by the people of Ketchikan
and vicinity and Skagway and vicinity
The injury, if any. on account of Ju
neau's sloth fulness ^r s Ifishness is to
the other towns of the district, which
raised the money, and cot to Gov.
Swineford, who is enjoying the so-call
ec privelege of devoting donated time
and splendid aMlities to the cause of
Alaska at the national capital.
J'.at one more word. Why should
the people of the remainder of Alaska
go to W ashinnton and urge Juneau for
the seat of a territorial organization,
through which they can enjoy their
American right of self-government,
when those of thai town not only re
fuse to lend a hand to help in the strug
gle, but do much to discredit their ef
forts ? Had not Gov Swineford a nght
to consider that the seat of a govern
ment which so many Juneauites do not
want would be unwelcomed by its
citizens? Has Juneau not really in
vited the recommendation that Gov.
Swineford was forced into making V

The tide of political independence
and reform which worked such miracles
with the election returt s from Penc
sytvania last fall has oot yet spent its
force. At the spring el ctions the old
politica' machine that ruled Philadel
phia for so many years was a*aia de
feated and Pittsburg joined in t'>e re
form movement. In the smoky city
the candidate of the combined demo
cratic party, civic league and citizens'
party was elected over the republican
candidate by a majority exceeding
6,000.
That is an ambitious program Presi
dent Castro, of Venezuela, has cut out
for himself, but it wojld not be par
ticularly to his credit even if he should
carry it out to the letter. One would
never euess frotr the antipathy of this
aspiring statesman that it was in de
fense of his country that the Monroe
doctrine came near involving this coun
try in war with Great Britain.

which, if it shall become a law, will
I'aise the salary of the president of the
United States to f 100,000 a year and
that of the vice-president to $25,000.
It also provides that ex-presidents shall
receive $25,000 per year as long as they

least these portions of it which increase
the salaries of the president and
