ANCHORAGE TIMES DENIES
WICK’S CHARGE OF POLITICS
The statement concerning the con
struction of the government railway
in Alaska, as covered by Secretary of
the Interior Lane and which was pub
lished in The Times yesterday, ap
pears to be an adequate answer to the
politicians who would drag this big
constructive project into national
politics. To those thus employed, we
would very frankly say, “Hands Off!”
The Alaska railroad is not now and
never has been in politics. If it is
dragged it, it will be the fault of
those agitating along these lines at
this time.—Anchorage Times.

FAVORS INDEPENCE
OF MONTENEGRINS
WINCHESTER, England, March 8
(by mail).—Viscount Herbert John
Gladstone, formerly secretary of state
for home affairs, and son of the great
British premier, William E. Gladstone,
has put himself on record as favoring
the independence of Montenegro.
Mr. Gladstone has written a letter
to Alexander Devine of Winchester
in which he asserts:
"Montenegro has every claim, if not
o absolute independence, at least to
ndependenee federated. I shall be
jxtremely sorry if the old monarchy
s repudiated by the people. Monte
negro has been repeatedly classed by
our government with Belgium'and Sei
bia, and the idea that she should b
submerged in Serbia and lose her his
toric individuality is utterly repugnan
to me.”
