NEAR SIGHTED FEDERAL OFFICIALS.
.lust why the federal officials at Valdez should' feel it in
cumbent upon themselves to make as liberal a draft upon the
monies of the government for the special benefit of any par
ticular town is not clear to us. But the fact remains that very
little business of any kind strays very far from tin* shadow of
the court house. Of course these servants of Uncle Sam are
supposed to represent the people of the whole division, but fre
quentiy become so narrow and contracted that in their opinion
there is but one town entitled to any consideration, simply be
cause they happen to have a few dollars invested in that com
munity. They are willing to put their personal aggrandizement
above that of duty or a square deal to all. Possibly if brought
home forcibly enough that many of these same officials are al j
lowed to draw their salaries more through the sufferance of the
public than from the fact of any special qualifications they pos
sess to entitle them to pecuniary assistance from the govern
men!, there might be an awakening, and the square deal ex j
tended to towns other than Valdez. Then, again, some people
have the hide of a rhinocerous, and knowing that theirs is a po
litical job, and not one of merit, are immuned to criticism.
They have no consideration for the rights of others, and hope I
to make them stand the gaff. But like ’eel they can, and' the
greatest consolation for a long suffering public is the fact that
mi November 7 there will be a change in the national adminis
tration, and with it will quickly follow a new bunch of federal
officials for Alaska. And this cannot come any too soon to suit
the majority of the people.
JAPAN’S COMING DEMANDS.
After Japan shall have completed the belligerent commis
sion into which her alliance with England compelled her, sin*
intends to bait the world with the demand that Japanese shall
he admitted to every country on the same footing as the people
!' other nationalities. She purposes to bring to issue the (pies
(ion whether her people may own land in the United States and
other countries that have placed a ban upon such ownership.
She alleges that present diseriminatiory bars imperil her dig
nity and are an affront to the pride which she, as a world power, j
has a right to feel.
This great question is certain to confront us. The west j
coast of the United States has borne an intimate part in tin* con-1
troversv, and its pressure upon Washington city has been the j
reason for the gentle yet firm antagonism which officialdom ,
thus far has shown toward unrestricted immigration from the j
Orient. On this score the western states have made many ene ]
mies among easterners. There are thousands of persons east of
the Rocky mountains to whom the term “yellow peril ” is mean- j
ingless, deplorable and utterly hollow. Religious sentimental j
ism enters largely into their view of the subject. Economic
rivalry, wage competition and racial antipathies amount to no
thing in their weighing of the subject, because they never have
had personal contact with these facts.
And when the tender problem comes before congress, as it
is hound to do within a comparatively short time, the west is
likely to find a very large part of the country wholly out of
hearing of its appeals, and if a president of that time lets down
the bars to admit without hindrance the browns and yellows of
the < bient there will be thousands who will say: “Re-elect him
he kept us out of war!”

It is no wonder George Grigsby lost his tempi1!' at Juneau
the other night, when Lena Morrow Lewis and Kate Sadler, So
cinlist candidate for delegate and orator from Seattle, respec
Lively, bombarded' bis meeting and wanted to share his strong
ly fortified position in the trenches. But just what he hoped
to gain by attacking prominent residents of several Alaskan
towns, wim are not chasing the same political rainbow he is,
passeth our understanding.

It is to be observed that California utilizes every brush fire
