“P. I.’s” Tribute
To the Delegate
(Seattle P.-I.)
j Delegate Wickersham, in his inter
esting address before the commercial
club, opportunely traced the history of
Alaska development and, withholding
no credit from any quarter where it
i properly belongs, bestowed the due
! meed of credit for substantial initia
j tive upon creative and constructive
i statesmanship of days agone that too
often passes from memory and es
capes recall and recognition.
Everybody knows, or should know,
how this entire coast section, the unit
ed forces of Seattle active in the fore
front, pulled together so magnificent
ly for the project of a government
built railroad in Alaska.
Everybody understands and appre
ciates how Secretary of the Interior
Lane promptly gave his powerful as
sistance to the cause-and ultimately
enlisted the still more powerful, and
needed, aid of President Wilson.
Everybody knows, too, and takes
pride in the fact, that, for once, the
Washington delegation in congress, in
co-operation with Delegate Wicker
sham—our two senators and five rep
resentatives each and all honorably in
cluded—worked unselfishly in perfect
unison and harmony towai-d the laud
able, common end of helping Alaska.
All this is a fine chapter of Alaska,
Seattle and Washington (state and
capital city) history, and the glory is
certainly ample to go around.
To be sure, a scheming townsite
promoter of Seward, John E. Ballaine,
for the purposes of an iniquitous cam
paign, is today engaged in a despica
ble attempt to smirch the chapter and
falsify his way into congress with the
preposterous bought - and - paid-for
claim that he did it all, and but for
him Alaska will yet be gobbled up,
bag and baggage, by piratical Gug
genheims and a plundering ilk, but let
this brazen candidate and his bogus
pretensions pass. Steilacoom is be
fuddled with similar hallucinations.
Returning to Judge Wickersham’s
address and the credit to whom credit
is due: He calls timely, if belated at- 1
tention to the fact that William How
art Taft, president of the United
States, took the first important step
toward developing Alaska when he
recommended to congress, in a mess
age ,that a trunk line railroad be built
by the government into the interior;
and that subsequently he secured an
appropriation and appointed a com
mission of army officers which con
ducted exhaustive surveys and made
a report which formed the basis of fi.
nal congressional action.
Thus it was, as a matter of fact,
that groundwork for Alaska develop
ment was substantially laid before
the present administration came into
power and, with the help of republi
cans in congress, brought the great
railroad project to consummation.
There is honest credit enough to
go around and Delegate Wickersham
keeps history straight by seeing to it
that the helpfulness of the far-sighted
preceding administration is not over
looked.
