THAT "REVOLUTION"
There was amazement throughout
Alaska when the people read the
statement printed in the Seattle
Times, purporting to give the views
of cwugressman \V ilnam Sulzer, ot New
York, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs, on Alas
ka, ami making him say he feared the
outbreak of a revolution in this ter
ritory. The Times statement, tele
graphed to Seattle by the correspon
dent of that paper at Ketchikan, Al
aska, was:
"Congressman William Sulxer, of
New York, who arrived here on the
Admiral Sampson with Secretary of
the Interior Walter Fisher predicts
that unless immediate action be tak
en by the executive department of
the government, the ominous rumbling?
and talk of revolution that are be
ing heard will result in the necessity
of the government troops being sent
to Alaska. He declares that their
knowledge of certain defeat by over
whelming force is the only thing that
prevents the Alaskans from taking
immdiate action. Congressman Sul
zer says that the gun and rifle clubs
formed at Fairbanks and many other
towns have a sinister purpose.
In the first place the people of Al
aska have not formed gun and rifle
clubs. In the next place they have no
remote thought of engaging in revo
lution.
In Ketchikan, Wrangell, Juneau, Si i
ka. Excursion Inlet and Funter Bay.
absolutely no such action has been
taken, is being taken, will be taken.
It is the universal opinion that some
one must have misquoted Mr. Sulxer,
who has mining interests near Ket
chikan. and who knows conditions let
ter than to hint at such wild a**r
tions.
There are three places in which the
error might have been made ? by the
correspondent at Ketchikan, by the
"desk man" at the Times office, or
by Mr. Sulxer. Eliminating Mr. Sul
zer, because his personal knowledge
on Alaskan affairs would prevent him
from making such statements, one
is unable to go farther with the pro
c.ws of determining who is respons
ible.
When Alaskans read such asser
tions, they cannot ftnd words to ex
press their views. Such statements
do two things ? they misstate the
facts; they injure Alaskan Interests.
After studying the situation along
the range of towns in Southeastern
Alaska, one cannot avoid the conclu
sion that there are a lot of men
who profess to be friends of this ter
ritory who would better? for the
good of the people here ? refrain from
their attempts to cure the ills that
hase afflicted Alaska for so long.
There is no more law-abiding collec
tion of communities to be found in
the stales. If the truth were assort
ed from the enormous mass of error,
there would remain the plain state
that there is less crime up here than
in almost any other locality that
owns the Stars and Stripes as its
flag.
For instance, the resident of Alaska
never locks his house when he goes
away from it: unless it is for a stay
of several days, which might be for
the purpose of preventing the child
ren from entering and disarranging
matters in their play. There is prac
tically no theft, an?l in no country on
the North American continent does
a man s unsupported word go farther
in a business transaction than up
here.
Honesty in business matters is
marvelous. At this town hundreds of
miners get their outfits to go into
the Interior of Alaska for a season' s
digging. Almost any man can get
his "grubstake" on credit, and de
faulting on payment is practically
unknown. A miner will come here
buy an outfit to go to the Ulterior
five hundred miles or farther, to a
place from which he could go to the
outside if he chose, Just as conven
iently as from sonic other port on
the south coast or from the mouth
of the Yukon river. Merchants have
much less trouble wiUi bad accounts
than they do in cities, towns and
villages of the states.
That miner referred to, if he de
cide to go to the outside via some
other route, will send the merchant
here who sold him his outfit the
money in payment.
This spirit of law-abiding is gen
eral, and besides, intelligence here
is too high to permit the formatlou
of any such wild plans as that of or
ganizing with arms to resist the fed
eral government. It is the intention
of Alaskans to procure relief through
the orderly means of appeal to pub
lic sentiment and they believe that
they have made so powerful appeals
already that the day of relief cannot
be far away.
If one were permitted to write the
plain, unvarnished truth in all re
spects. he would feel that it was his
duty to bewail the masses of untrue
statements that, have been issued by
those who have pretended that they
want to help Alaska. It is of this
sort that have written under flaming
headlines, the assertions which for
the past year have intimated to the
people of the country that Alaskans
contemplated armed revolution. These
assertions have been heralded abroad,
and others fully as absurd.
Do You Like Pineapple?
If so try u bottle of Dole's [Pineapple Juice. It is a most
delicious and wholesome drink, a good digestant and
affectivejkidney remedy. For'sale at Britt's Pharmacy for
35 cents a bottle.
Absurd though they may be, they ,
nevertheless have injured the terrl- ,
tory beyond power of estimate. Those i
inaccurate statements apparently hava '
been given to the president, who has '
believed them. We have been told by
several men in Alaska that they have (
known instances of representatives of
the territory going to the White
House to the facts concerning
Alaska; and that they have been in
formed by the president that virtually
all Alaskans were a floating, unreli
ably lot of people* most of whom had
fled from the states away from
crimes, changing their names to con
ceal their identity.
It is stated upon xood authority ?
authority which can be believed ?
that Right Reverend Bishop Rowe,
of the Protestant Episcopal church,
in charge of Alaskan missions, caHed
upon the president last year, and
i sought to tell him the conditions that
I exist here; and that the president re
iterated his opinion, formerly ex
pressed, and indicated heretofore In
this article.
But there will be no revolution In
Alaska.
