FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1920
WHAT DOES THE GOVERNOR
MEAN
Mayor E. E. Chamberlin of Seward,
Republican candidate for territorial
senator, has written a lengthy com
munication to the Gateway in which
he severely criticizes Governor Riggs
as an alarmist, and calls upon the dif
ferent commercial organizations rof the
territory to brand as false the many
misleading and untruthful statements
made in reference to conditions in
Alaska. Mayor Chamberlin says that
there is the highest type of citizenship
in this territory, and there is no dan
ger of any Bolshevik menace. He
strikes straight from the shoulder, as
follows:
“From the Associated Press reports
I notice that Governor Thomas Riggs,
Jr., who first came to Alaska at gov
ernment expense, and during the en
tire period of his residence in the ter
ritory has been drawing a salary from
the treasury of the United States,
seems to be very much alarmed and is
circulating a propaganda to be pub
lished in the Outside press and filed
with the government records at Wash
ington, that Alaskan is menaced by the
Rolsheviki. and. that an uprising is
planned for May 1.
“I have been a* resident of Alaska
for twenty-three years, and have lived
in various parts of the territory, and I
wish to place on record the fact that
nowhere in the world can any state
boast of as high a class of citizenship
in all walks of life, from the lonely
prospector, the fisherman, or the busi
ness man who ma'ce his livelihood in
the towns in our territory. News of
such character tends to discredit
Alaska and places us before the world
as not law-abiding. It tends to divert
those who are looking toward Alaska
for future homes, and intimidates cap
ital that seeks investment in fisheries,
mines, and in the oil regions. I for
one give Delegate Grigsby due credit
for his refusal to introduce a bill in
congress estabiisnmg a constabulary
for Alaska. It is unnecessary and un
American. A territory with a popula
tion of less than 50,000 and now occu
- pied by a regiment of soldiers, never
asked for by the people; the United
States marshal organization, and now
a new branch of police service, would
cause a stranger landing in our midst
from a flying machine to wonder if he
had not made a mistake and landed in
a German village along the Rhine.
‘‘If the time comes and there is a
crisis, which does not now exist, the
Pioneers of Alaska, the American Le
gion of Honor, with the aid of citizens
generally, can mane It very uncom
fortable for any Rolsheviki that starts
trouble in Alaska. f
“It is the duty of the Chamber of
Commerce and other organizations to
pass resolutions condemning the ac
tions of Goevrnor Riggs and sending
forth to the officials at Washington
that such representations are ground
less and founded on misleading infor
mation.
“He seems to be paving the way for
military control of our affairs, placing
Alaska in a relative position with the
Philippines and other provinces of the
United States. It is certain the gov
ernor is not in touch with conditions
as they exist throughout all parts of
Alaska.”
It must be said in behalf of At
torney General Palmer as a president
ial candidate that he can come as
near carrying the rest of the country
as he can his own state.
Th failure of the United States to
ratify the treaty of peace and adopt
the Americanized covenant of the
league of nations is due solely to the
stubbornness of one wilful man and
those of his followers who have en
couraged him in his uncompromising
position.
We are reminded that the war is
over. But the results are not over,
for the . job holders are still with us
and the bills continue to come in.
The statesman who has a quick
cure for all that the Democratic party
has done to us in the last few years
must believe that the day of miracles
is not over.
Norman Hapgood says: “The Re
publicans are likely to win in Nov
ember.” Well, if anything could raise
a doubt it would be a prophecy by
Colonel Hapgood.
In view of the fact that the un
speakable Turk is going to be allowed
to remain in Europe the suggestion
that we have saved the world for
democracy is positively in Sultan.
The Democratic organs are demand
ing that the Republican party do
something constructive. The first
big constructive job is to get rid of
! the administration that put us where
we are today.
President Wilson said in his letter
on the Adriatic question: “Justice
rather than expediency should govern
nations.” It has never been claimed,
even by President Wilson, that he
gave his consent to the Shantung in
famy on any grounds but those of ex
pediency.
The New York Times says the For
eign Affairs Committee of the Senate
was “packed” against the un-Ameri
canized covenant. The truth is that
the people “packed” the Senate
against it in November, 1918
Tney are booming Governor Ed
wards as a “wet” candidate for the
Presidency, but if precedents teach
us anything the election of a governor
of New Jersey as a “wet” candidate
on the Democratic ticket would result
in drying up even the lakes and rivers.
