AX ATTEMPT TO MISLEAD
The Wickite attempt to make the
voters of Alaska believe that Dele
gate Sulzer is responsible for the fact
that Canadian steamers are not car
rying freight and passengers between
American ports in Alaska on regular
^schedule is a deliberate attempt to
mislead the people. It is not true
and all who know anything about
the situation know it is not true. The
statement that foreign ships are do
ing that everywhere else in the Uni
ted States is aabsolutely false, and
those who say it know it if they know
anything about the subject. There
is no place except on the Great Lakes
where foreign ships ply between
American ports and do a coastwise
business, and there the Canadian gov
ernment gives American ships the
privelege of trading between Canad
ian ports. The statement that if the
amendment in the shipping bill ex
empting Alaska fAm its operations
had not been there Canadian ships
would now be carrying freight be
tween American ports is absurd, and
offered only for the purpose of mis
leading the people. Those who urge
It know that it is false.
When Judge Wickersham spoke at
Nome he knew and he knows today,
that the coastwise shipping law that
was passed last fall was not a mon
opoly regulative measure. He knew
and he knows that it was not intended
to permit an invasion of American
coastwise shipping by foreign steam
ship lines—operated on regular
schedule carrying passengers and
freight—particularly not by steam
ship lines that are operated as feed
ers to railroad companies, a proc
tice which the United States govern
ment has decided to be against public
policy and which she has prohibited
toy law. The reservation of Ameri
can coastwise shipping for American
bottoms was introduced as a Nation
al policy by President Jefferson more
than a century ago, and it has been
strictly adhered to during all the de
cades that have elapsed since that
time. It was stated by the Commis
sioner of Navigation and Members
of the Shipping Board that it was not
the intention of the Board to inter
fere in the slightest degree with this
traditional American principle.
Judge Wickersham knew when he
talked at Nome and he knows now
that the so-called “coastwise ship
ping law” was passed for the purpose
of legalizing a practice, which already
was in operation, of permitting for
eign vessels engaged in war traffic,
and usually vessete that are under
charter to the United States Govern
ment, to carry freight between Amer
ican Atlantic ports the transportaton
of which was needed to facilitate war
work when there was no American
vessels available to carry it, while
they were picking up Transatlantic
cargoes or distributing them. He
knows that it was passed for this
purpose and this only. He knows
that for many months hundreds of
thousands of Holland tonnage were
tied up in American ports because
the owners refused to permit their
vessels to enter the war zone of Eur
ope. He knows that these owners
tried to get the privilege of entering
the American coastwise trade and
that it was denied. Adv.
In the coming election the proposi
tion as to the best choice for Dele
gate should receive logical considera
tion.
What choice s best for the interests
of the terrtory under existing con
ditions? With a Democrat President
a Democrat Cangress and a Democrat
Governor in office would it be to the
advantage of AlaBkan interests to send
a Delegate to Congress antagonistic
to these factors of Government; one
who boldly proclaims himself in stren
uous opposition to all of them and
whose boasting makes it appear that
his great ambition is to pose at Wash
ington as the poitical Goliath of Al
aska. Can anyone, free from political
prejudice, consistently support the
candidacy of Wickersham and expect
that the interests of the Territory
will not be smothered in discord if he
is elected. Adv
The election of James Bogan will
be recognition of a Nome boy and an
I assurance to voters of this division
that their interests will be given
honest and intelligent consideratoin.

INNUENDO
. (By J. C. Widstead.) - ,
Beware of him who has no labor in him.
Or him who shuns the sweetening of toil,
For more than him “who hath no music in him”
Is he fit for cheat and beat and spoil.
His idleness does set in operation ,
An energy that tends to dusty deeds,
To poker face and swiveling inflation
And other such our present tempus needs.
Beware, a thousand times, have constant vigil
Of puffy phalanx and the silky palm,
Of him whose love for work does not his hands fill
But substitutes for work the idle calm.
Yet have no fear, Fate stand 3 near with her prelude
With pointed finger at her puckered lip,
His choice of ease, innocuous desuetude
To morrow w jll have carressed with a whip.

Suppose Sulzer was elected to Con
gress; Was he sent there to attack,
malign, villify and slander Alaska’s
best BOOvSTERS, or to spend hts time
in the House of Representatives?
Griffith has a letter under Sulzer's
signature in which he admits spending
more time in the Senate than in the
House. .For what obvious reasons?
Everybody knows to perfect the ma
chine by delivering all the appoint
ments to the gang. • Adv.
The true blue Alaskan will resent
Boss rule and machine politics. Of
al the statements pubished by the

Hulzer wired on the job. Yes, on
his job allriglit. How much did he get
