THE POWER OF THE PRESS.
It is very gratifying to the publishers of the Daily Time:
to know that its editorial comments on public matters an
widely read and that when attention is properly called to ;
matter that needs adjusting that those in authority are fre
quently ready and willing to do their part, as is evidenced bj
a recent telegram this paper received from R. ,T. Ringwood
general manager of the Pacific Alaska Navigation Company
with headquarters in Seattle. .
The Times took exception to the charges made on barges in
the transportation of passengers from steamers, in the road
stead, to Anchorage. As soou as these papers, containing an
expose of the charge, reached the Seattle office Mr. Ringwood
immediately wired the Times, bur the message was delayed
in transmission on account of the cable being down.. We take
pleasure in herewith publishing his message:
“Your editorials on the lighterage of passengers was read
with interest and some days ago wired our agent that we
would absorb this expense. Am wiring him to acquaint von
fully and feel satisfied the action eliminates the objectionable
features incurred in your view., of the subject.”
LINDEBERG JUMPS HIS BONDS.
Jafot Lindeberg. president of the Pioneer Mining Companj
at Nome and who has aspirations to ' become governor oi
Alaska, is gaining considerable unenviable notoriety in his at
tempt to defeat the ends of justice. Ilis actions are such as t(
stamp him as unworthy of the contidence and respect of au\
community and should set at rest Jafet’s political bee. Alas
bans do not want such individuals as he at the head of ou
territory. There is plenty of material from which to select ;
worthy successor to Governor Strong, when there is a vacancy
in the office that he holds.
According to information received from the states Linde
berg refused to answer certain questions asked him by tin
court in San Francisco, concerning his property interests, ii
a civil suit instituted against the Pioneer and Blue Goose Min
ing Companies. He was fined $15 for contempt of court, ant
after being released on bonds, lit out of the jurisdiction of tin
court without appearing to testify. A second warrant was
isufd. Imt the wily .Tafet got across the Oregon line and t’nei
proceeded to Seattle, where he boarded the steamer \ ictoru
for Nome.
ROOSEVELT LOOMS UP STRONG.
Tomorrow will be convention day in Chicago, and greal
preparations havp been under headway by the Republicans
for some time past, to make it a most memorable event, foi
upon their action may hinge the naming of the next president
of the United States.
The fight for the nomination appears to have dwindled
down to two eandidates-r-Ool. Roosevelt and .Justice Hughes
That the former is the choice of a large majority of the peoplf
there is no doubt, but some of the leaders of the “Old Guard’
are on the scene of action and are playing a great game ol
politics. Whether or not their crafty plans, with the liberal
use of the mazuma, will prove tempting bait to the delegates
remains to be seen.
There is only one man, however, who represents everything
that the word Americanism stands for anti has sufficient mag
netism to arouse the patriotism that we boast so much about
but which is lying dormant in most of us. When Roosevel
enters the convention it will be the signal to start the furor*
and keep it going. It will be accompanied by waving banners
rolling drums, songs and cheers like the firing of hand gre
nades, and all the pomp and panoply of political prepared
ness.
The supporters of the other candidates who will be place*
in nomination had better be there with cotton in their ears am
when the climax comes stand on tiptoe to save their hearing
From this distance it looks as though the Colonel was going t<
“cop out” that nomination and if he does he will surely be oui
next president.
The circulation of the Daily Times keeps climbing up, am
B?00 copies are now being printed daily. We expect to read
the 2,000 mark within another month, which will be about a
large as the combined circulation of all newspapers publishe*
;c Southwestern Alaska.
Recreation Park is being rapidly transformed into an idea
ball ground and the improvements will be completed in tim
for Saturday’s game.
The Anchorage brass band is planning to erect a pavilio
TnJ stand and will give a series of open air concerts and publi
dances.
How about the Fourth of July celebration? It is time t
be up and doing if we intend to have a program that’s wort!
while.
