NOT A POLITICAL NEWSPAPER.
It might, as well bo understood now, as at any other time,
that the Pioneer, under the new contml, is not a political news
paper, in the sense of having any ax to grind, or any friends
to reward, or foes to punish. On the contrary, the Pioneer is
a legitimate commercial newspaper enterprise. It is devoted,
heart and soul, to the interests of Anchorage and to the great
territory mf Alaska, in which the publisher has so long resided.
Further, the publisher is putting his own funds into this enter
prise. He owes nothing to any politician or set of politicians,
and while a republican in politics, he is not a hide-bound par
tisan that can see no good in any one who may belong to an
other party. There is one issue, however, upon which the Pio
neer will he strictly partisan, and that is—it will be for Alaska
first, last and all the time, and it will have no hesitation what
ever in fighting any party that will not do the square thing by
this territory.
Very naturally, the Pioneer, from time to time, will have
something to say about politics. We take it that everybody
should be concerned in the policies under which our govern
ment shall he operated. Indeed, it is a distinct duty that
everyone owes to the country. And the Pioneer will frankly
take a stand for what it believes th he right, according those
who differ the same right to do as their consciences dictate.
But the point we wish to emphasize in this article, is that the
Pioneer is a legitimate newspaper enterprise and will he so
conducted. We believe the time has arrived when Anchorage
is entitled to a live, progressive, up-to-date newspaper. We
believe that such a newspaper can he of vast aid in the up
building of the country. We believe that a newspaper so con
ducted will return a reasonable profit on the investment.
Promises are easily made; performance is what counts. The
Pioneer asks to he judged only on its merits. As we have had
occasion to say before, our plans for betterments cannot reach
full fruition until more equipment, ordered and on the way, is
installed. Then a decided improvement will he noted in the
Pioneer.
Alaska lias no firmer friend or loyal advocate in the halls of
congress than Hon. Geo. PI. Chamberlain, United States sen
ator from Oregon. In fact, such a devoted friend of the big
territory is he, that he is known to Alaskans as “the senator
from Alaska.” Senator Chamberlain did yeoman work in se
curing the passage of the bill providing for the construction
of the Alaska railway project, and in other matters of concern
to this territory he lends a willing ear. Senator Chamberlain,
a good democrat, is a man whom Alaska delights to honor.
