THE RIGGS REBELLION
If every Caucasian male adult in
Alaska should rise up in rebellion,
the organization would have little
more than half the strength of the
boiler maker’s union of Seattle. It is
eot surprising then, that Governor
Riggs should take such care to warn
the world of the red menace of the
North and give Alaska such a black
eye. It is not surprising, not a bit,
nor lk anything that the esteemed
chief executive of the Territory may
do. Since he went south a few months
ago, he has done so many things be
yond comprehension that there is
nothing new he can do that will sur
prise the people of Alaska. Even a
statement by him, declaring himself
czar of \laska, would be received
with the same laugh that greets every
official utterance.
Alaska, in its fifty years under the
American flag, has had many set
backs, but it is doubtful in any single
individual in that half a century has
spread as much hurtful propaganda
as the man who draws down $7,000
and a mansion and who travels about
the country largely at government ex
pense spreading his ill-founded opin
ions.
The whole affair and his record
would be laughable, were it not for
the fact that the hurt is too serious
to every person in the Territory. As
i
governor of the Territory the people
in the states, not knowing him as he
is known in the North, pay heed to
what he says, and even the depart
ments at Washington take him ser- ;
iously, it is evident.
As he can do no good for the Terr- j
itory in Washington, for he and his J
shipping board are but wasting $300, j
I&0 of Alaska’s money, or a substan- j
ti*I part of it, the sooner he returns
to Alaska where he will be taken at j
bis worth the better it will be for
himself, the administration which be j
represents and the people of Alaska.
And when he does return, he will
mind the loyal American Alaskan still
in control and very unappreciative of
his joke of the Riggs Rebellion.—
Ketchikan Chronicle.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
In Siberia, according to the “Scurvy
Kid,” there is plenty of money and
whisky. This is a regular promised i
land to many old-time Alaskans. It
I
is true that the money is no good, but j
the Kid says that the whisky is fine.
We are looking for a stampede to Si
beria soon.—Douglas News.
>t is only a suggestion, but if the
Juaeau Empire would cease bragging
»pon the newly appointed cabinet of
iieers it would not have to apologize
when they are fired.—Valdez Miner.
Tommy Riggs, Jr., is all het up
ever an alleged intercepted wireless
message from Soviet Russia describ
ing a ficticious revolution which is
s»Gn to break out in Alaska with a
view to setting up a Soviet govern
Baent in the Territory.
Tommy is there when it comes to
the dime novel stuff and he sure has
a whale of an imagination. The
whoppers Tommy has been telling the
•ffieials at Washington about the
Red menace in Alaska would be amus
ing in the extreme were those offi
cials thoroughly acquainted with
Alaska and Alaskans.—Ketchikan
Timies.
There is at least one way in which
the business man could profit by fol
lowing the example of the politician.
That is by registering and voting.
The politicians will all be registered
and all of them will vote. If business
men and women would have business
methods applied to their public af
fairs the least thye could da would
b« to register and vote.—Juneau Em
pire.
YAKUTAT REGISTERS
PROTEST AGAINST
POOR MAIL SERVICE
Residents of Yakutat are indignant
at the miserable mail service they
have been given this year, and are
going to make a strong protest to
Washington to have it remedied, ac
cording to William Gray, merchant of
that town, who yesterday arrived in
Juneau on the U. S. S. Algonquin.
No mail was received in Yakutat
for a period of three months, accord
ing to Mr. Gray. There are 250 per
sons there during the winter and all
were greatly inconvenienced by the
poor service. Not only was there no
mail, but the merchants of the town
were unable to obtain stocks for thei
stores, and Mr. Gray, as well as hi
competitor, practically was compelle
to suspend business.
The Algonquin, which went to Ki
talla to assist in the suppression (
the “flu” epidemic there, called in s
Yakutat to inquire about health coi
ditions there. That community, hov
ever, has been entirely free from tb
epidemic.
Mr. Gray is in Juneau in conne*
tion with the trial of Peter Lawrend
a native accused of murdering Bill
James, another native.
The case is of considerable interes
Inasmuch as the cause of the traged
is asserted by many to have beep^th
supposition held by Lafrence tht
James had cast a spell of witchcrai
over him.—Juneau Capital.
