ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF SULZER
COMPARED TO WICKERSHAM’S
Fairbanks Newspaper Comments on Activities of
Delegate in Congress and Those of
His Predecesor
Whatever else may be said abou
Delegate Charles A Sulzer, we thin!
that it must be agreed that he hai
been a most willing worker for tin
good of the territory, says the Fair
banks Citizen. His ready responses
to appeals from all Alaskans, no mat
ter of what political affiliations, have
been most iotieeabm, and a pleasant
change from the policy of his prede
cessor. who does not hesitate to dif
ferentiate between his followers and
those who. true Alaskans, refuse to
be blindly led.
It is also pleasant to have for rep
resentative from Alaska a man who
does his work quietly, as well as dili
gently. In fact Mr. Sulzer has been
all too modest about the things which
he has put forward for Alaska during
the past two years. In his unassum
ing manner he has set about the task
of securing needed legislation for
Alaska without making an enormous
fuss, just as he would do with any
other business proposition.
If he needed assistance he has not
been too far away and mighty to say
so. and when his help was wanted he
has not been mu of communication
entirely He acknowledged all culls,
and kept those asking for assistance
informed upon the action undertaken.
Is the last term of Delegate Wicker
sham so far in the past that a far
different treatment than Sul/.er’s can
not he remembered?
Even as he has been making him
self thus agreeable to his <onstitu
cuts in Alaska, lie has also been form
ing friendships in Washington. go*,
ting acquainted with the leaders »*i
the administration, driving home with
a quiet persistence the needs ot
Alaska, giving to the big men in con
gress some idea of the greatness atm
scope (-1 th. territory which he is
honored in representing, and seeking
to win by diplomatic and friendly
dealings with his fellow members for
this country that which he nor any
one else could ever obtain by fight
lng a hundred scraps every day. It
is true that he has not carried a chip
on his shoulder all the time, nor
bearded chairmen of committees in
their sanc tums, and at the point ot
a gas-uag toreeu mom to tome across.
Of what use to weight his shoulder
down with a chip, since it is usually
the case that the chip-bearer gets
both the chip and the shoulder under
neath knocked about?
Compare Mr, Sulzer's first two years
in congress with the first term ot
Judge Wickershain, and the lattei
was not at the enormous disadvan
tage which now faces Mr. Sulzer it
the shape of a world war with the
Culled States holding and playing the
winning hand, the successful out
come of which means the preserva
tion of freedom for countless mill
ions of people.
Take just one instance of where
plain common sense us used by Dele
gate Sulzer has relieved an almost in
tolerable situation heretofore existing
and which former Delegate Wicker
sham made no attempt to remedy. For
twelve years, or from 1905 to 1917
every appropriation asked for by the
war department for the construction
and maintenance of Alaska roads and
trails was subject to a point of order
from which there was no escape if it
were pressed. While the war depart
incut was charged with the building
and upkeep of these trails and roads,
i: had no authority to ask for fund
to do it with.
I gist year Delegate Sulzer succeeded
in securing this authority for the war
department by a short amendment
to the appropriation hill for the sup
port of the army. This amendment
reads as follows: “Provided, That
ho-eafter. : o h > >• a--- th° c instroetion
and main nance of 'military and post
roads' in Alaska, and of other roads,
bridges and trails in that territory
shall remain under the direction of
the secretary of war. he he authorized
to submit such estimates for the eon
sideration of congress as are, in his
judgment, necessary for a proper
prosecution of the work." Despite
opposition in the committee on mili
tary affairs to this amendment, the
delegate succeeded in passing it and
the request and passage of such Alas
kan appropriations for roads and
trails as submitted by the war depart
ment can now be accomplished legally.
Simple, isn't it? Yet it took twelve
years to get it done, and if it hadn't
been for Mr. Sulzer probably wouldn’t
have been started yet.
He didn’t have to fight to get it
done, either; he simply explained the
situation which existed and the oppo
. sit ion ceased to be. It has been thus
in other instances. By his <|uiet cam
: paign of education upon Alaskan mat
ters he has won a .high place in the
esteem of administration leaders
which places him in a position to se
cure legislation of incalculable value
to his constituency, and which he will
undoubtedly secure as soon as con
gress can take up such matters when
relieved from the pressure of impera
tive war legislation. We believe that
the great majority of Alaskans real
ize litis too well to injure the lerri
tory by refusing its support to him
in the coming election.

RED CROSS IS
DOING MUCH
| FOR BELGIANS
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29. Relief
work by the American Red Cross in
Belgium necessitated an expenditure
j of $1,432,274 for the ten months end
ing June 20. This amount went to
. provide comforts and medical assist
ance for Belgian soldiers, 90,000 resi
dents of that part of the little country
outside of the German lines and the
dno.ooo Belgian refugees scattered all
over i-Y.inee, Hnglaud, Holland and
S wit/.erland.
The sum of $1,917,225 has been ap
propriated to continue this work dur
ing tie last six months of this year.
Thus by the end of this year the Red
Cross will since the war began have
appropriated for use* among the Bel
gians the sum of $2,279,699. These are
the outstanding tacts in the current
section of the* War Council’s report
relative to tine use being made of the
Red Cross war fund.
The establishment of eighty-two
canteens, which provide daily refresh
ments for 25,000 soldiers, the financial
assistance given to nine hospitals that
are combatting disease among the
i c ivilian population and refugee colo
nies. the construction and support of
I a barracks which shelters 400 children
and the maintenance of a home for
disabled Belgian soldiers are a few of
the things the Red Cross has done for
the courageous little kingdom and its
people.
About 15,000 Belgian children in the
countries mentioned are healthier and
happier as a result of day nurseries
established by the organization.
Cooperation between the Red Cross
and tin* Belgian government has been
so effective that this aid has been dis
tributed largely through the medium
‘of Belgian agencies A donation of
j one million francs to tin* Queen for
j the support of the hospital service
and another of half a million francs
to insure the completion of a large
; hospital were among the* first expen
dltures of the Red Cross in Belgium
The organization has established
what is known as the Queen’s purse,
a fund of live thousand francs, which
Is distributed among the country’s war
victims. As free Belgium is within
• ;s y range of German guns and bombs
tin* hospitals in that territory have
been destroyed from time to time, in
! creasing the cost of relief work.
