POLITICS—A DEFINITION
Archie Dundas, one of the
Metlakatla boys who joined the
Alaska Native Brotherhood at
Sitka, was recently at Metlakat
la when the subject of organiz
ing a Brotherhood Camp there
was brought up. An opposer
said, “I would be in favor of the
Brotherhood if it were not in
politics.’ Dundas replied, “My

The only organized force ir
the Territory fighting for ifo
rights—YOUR rights—if yoi
please, is that same Alaska Na
tive Brotherhood. And the onl>
publications giving pitiless pub
licity to the chicanery and ma
chinations of the bureaucrats

men are the publications ownen
by the Brotherhood,

j dents of Alaska were guaged bv
! YOUR efforts, how much suc
jcess would it bring? Abolish
j ment of the “hook-off” regula
tion; would it have caused the
modified prohibition on set gill
| nets; would it have caused Mr.
I O'Malley to write a Congressman
j that “I know conditions in Alas
ka are not as good as they might
be but I am going to make them
better.” If the support you are
giving politicians and news
prints are bringing forth such
changes then you have done
well. If your support is going to
men and publications support
ing such a system, why come to
these little publications with
your tales of woe?
TIIE VALUE OF SERVICE
RENDERED BY DELEGATE
JAMES WICKERSHAM
-x
Thousands of voters in Alaska
will support Judge James Wick
ersham in his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for De
legate to Congress because of the
valuable service he rendered
the Territory when he was our
representative during former
years. He macte a record of ac
complishment in securing big
things that is not subject to cri
ticism and which is appreci
ated and recognized even by his
political foes.
One of the Judge’s notable
and successful fights was for the

1912. This established the cap
ital and seat of government at]
Juneau, and created a legisla-;
five assembly that has wide!
powers and a large degree of'
home rule. Another accomplish
ment that he worked steadily
and successfully for was the
construction of the Alaska Rail- i
road, at a cost of $65,000,000.
Without this latter great en- !
terprise the present extensive]
dredging development of the in- i
terior would not have been pos
sible. And it further opens the
way to future great develop
ment. Judge Wickersham’s ef
forts also made possible the con
struction of the Alaska Agricul
tural College and School of
j Mines at Fairbanks, the estab
lishment of the Public School
System in Alaska,, the creation
< f the Mt. McKinley Park, the
construction of various public
buildings in the Territory, and

t!many other important acts,
j The fisheries have been foj
11 some years past the great indus
; try of Alaska. It should be ev
l en greater than it is, but mud
■ credit must be given Judge
' Wickersham because it is noi
even less than it is. It is an un
disputed fact that Delegate
Wickersham prevented the pass
age of the notorious Alexander
fish bill, that would have given
title to all the salmon areas to
the cannerymen, to the exclu
sion of all free fishing. This ac
tion of the Delegate was of it
self of inestimable value to the
Territory and the resident fish
ermen therein.
JOHN IUJSTGARD AND HIS
NEW BUSINESS
-x
The law creating the office of
Attorney General slates that
this official “SHALL NOT EN
GAGE IN ANY OTHER BUSI
NESS.” But the distinguished
gentleman now holding the of
fice seems to overlook that man
datory clause. For months past
he has made it his paramount
business to get the Republican
nomination for Delegate to
Congress.
In October last, .John Rust
gard, at the expense of the Ter
ritory, went to Fairbanks to en
gage in a little contest with the
bank there relative to escheat
ing estates. He lost the case and
then afterwards employed Mor
ton E. Stevens to draw up appeal
papers, costing the Territory
3115 and court costs. The fore
part of February, the case came
up for hearing at San Francisco,
but Attorney General Rustgard
was so busy attending to his own
business of electioneering that
he could not find time to attend
court.
But then John had a pleas
ant time interviewing his politi
cal fvionrJc: nt. TPa irl~>crnlr<5 nnH
ciclentally he had to stop over at
Anchorage “to confer with the
manager cf the Alaska Railroad
on matters of freight rates.” Just
a little more outside business
that is really none of his busi
ness. But then the Territory
was paying the expense.
When John reached Seward
and incidentally conferred with
the people thereof, he found
that he would have time to take
a steamer to the westward “to
advise with the people of Seldo
via relative to incorporation of
that community as a city.” Of
course, that was his private busi
ness but while the steamer was
in port it gave John opportunity
to talk with a few political
friends.
In order to get back to Seward
John had to stick to the ship
even though -it did take him to
Kodiak, where he had to see a
few more political friends. But
it was ail at me expense oi me
Territory and what did John
care, when even his lavish
steamer tips came out of the
treasury of Alaska.
But he started his campaign
trips as early as last August—
of course, at the expense of the
Territory. He had urgent busi
| ness at Klawock, Craig and Ket
:hikan, to discuss incorporation,
taxation, admittance of Native
children into the public schools.
Who ever before, during his
eight years incumbency as At
torney General, ever heard of
John Rustgard travelling over
the Territory giving legal ad
vice on matters that were no
concern of his?
To get his money for this elec
1,ioneering trip, one of the reas
ons given by John was “to Ami
cus Curiae at the hearing at Kla
wock relative to the incorpora
tion of the community at Kla
wock as a city of the first .class,
and to advise the citizens of
that community as to various
legal problems arising in con
nection therewith.” That is
certainly a lucid explanation
I and similar to some of the learn
eci and wise “opinions” he gives
• Federal and Territorial officials,
But does any one think for a
moment that Attorney General
l Rustgard would recommend that
' ether officials be paid by the
’ Territory for similar election
eering trips? Oh, no, for they
could not possibly invent the
same plausible and remote ex
cuses that come so easily to
John when his own pocketbook
is affected. And yet the law says
! that he “SHALL NOT ENGAGE
j IN ANY OTHER BUSINESS.” . .
i He who lives by passing the
I “buek” will soon have no bucks
io pass.
