D. C. Fairman had Mr. and Mrs. C.

Arthur Pinkus and Frank Burns to
dinner at his bachelor quarters on
Third street Sunday evening. The
lUece de resistance of the dessert
course was a pie, a wierd culinary
edifice of which the host proudly pro
claimed himself the architect. It was
disposed of to an adagio movement,
and its species, or genus, among pies
will probably remain forever a mys
tery to all but its maker. Mr. Fairman
was earnest in his recommendations
of his creation, declaring that he had
made it “after the recipe of a noble
man in the country.” Upon the host’s
flat refusal to wash the dishes. Mr.
^Burns tied on an apron and nobly of

On Thursday evening the survivors
partook of an Australian dinner of
roast kangaroo at the home of Mr.
Pinkus. Kangaroo prepared in this
manner can be scarcely, if at all, dis
tinguished from prime mutton.

DEMAGOGUERY OF
THE WORST KIND
(Continued from Page One)
suzerainty, supplemented by the loy
al friendship of a grateful people.’
He dismisses the idea of statehood,
ile says it would be bad for us in the
north, and bad for the United States.
For Alaska to be a state is a propo
sition of doubtful merit Speaking
of the United States he says: “It is
too much to hope that the imagined
relaxation of its national virtues would
effect an augmentation of its justice
to a distant people even were they
sheltered and protected by the bonds
of an anomalous statehood.” Guessing
just what that sentence means should
be a pleasant indoor sport to help
while away the long dark nights next
winter, and thus will Drayton do his
share to ameliorate the hardships of
life in Alaska.
This evangel of salvation tells us
that the government of the United
States was a party to the looting and
confiscation of Alaska’s treasures.
That later shamed by public senti
ment, it tied them up, but only for
the purpose of deceiving the public
so that when public conscience was
lulled these treasures could be safely
turned over to “the oil trust, the lim
ber trust, the coal trust, and their
financial confederates foi exploita
tion and profit-making at the expense
of the American people.” At last this
man Drayton stands forth in his true
colors. He is a demagogue. He reads'
like an editorial in a Hearst paper.
The same kind of an editorial that
lead to the assassination of the be
iovea mciviniey, mrougn oppressing
the mind of a weak man with
imagined wrongs. The people of
Alaska are praying night and day for
somebody to develop the coal, oil, and
lumber. To talk of trusts holding
these resources in Alaska makes one
fear for Drayton’s sanity. The lum
ber of Alaska is in the absolute con
trol of the government under its for
estry bureau, and anything it can do j
to make use of the millions of feet
that are annually going to waste will j
help the country and not hurt it a bit. ;
It takes capital and lots of it to de
velope the Alaska oil lands. We
have the land, and we believe there
is oil on it, but any fair minded man
will agree that Secretary Payne is
doing more to develop Alaska by
reasonable and generous regulations ;
under the oil leasing law than Dray
ton is doing with his silly yelping
about trusts}. That talk will drive
;capital away from Alaska, and; help !
to further depopulate the territory.
I That is the kind of talk that Dray- j
ton puts up for his Canadianized
Alaska, with nominal allegiance to
the United States. We will have to
adopt a flag of our own. Alaska has
I suffered much from ill-advised re
marks of those who claim to be its
friends. But Drayton, running true
to form, is the greatest of them all.
His ambition seems to acuire a ques
tionable notoriety. His talent lies in
the fact that he reads the dictionary
assiduously, but studies Alaska condi
tions but superficially. Don Quixote
come to life. We don’t know how
long he has been in Alaska, or in what
i parts thereof he has spent his time,
except that at present he resides at
Seward. We recommend that he trav
el throughout the country and find
out about conditions at first hand.
It is true that in the olden days,
those good old days according to
some, those tough bad days according
IU ULiiers, uut uv uicii ao 11 ma,y,
those olden days, when we were wont
before dinner to put one foot on the
rail, one elbow on the bar, and to
look with a pleasing glance upon the
white coated man who served us,
while we laid an offering on the
shrine of Bacchus, enkindled by the
warmth of a pleasant drink, we used to
tell our troubles to the bartender and
prove to him, that unless these of
ficeholders at Washington 5000 miles
away, stopped oppressing us and
grinding us in the dust, that there
was nothing left for it but to revolt
Canada did things better. We had
stood for all that we were going to
and much like sort. But let me say
it gently, though none the less firmly.
The average Alaskan ir. an American
He is a citizen of the great United
States. The privileges and duties of
that citizenship is the most valuable
thing that he possesses. And he will
fight to keep them. The old red,
white and blue covers him in its fold
just as securely as it does the man
from Maine or California.
We growl at Uncle Sam, but we
proved conclusively in the last war
that we will fight for him. And we
will fight harder if anyone tries to
separate us from him. In these days
of the shortage of wood pulp and
news print paper, it is a crime to
waste paper printing such drivel as
Drayton puts out about autonomy,
nominal allegiance, Persian satraps,
lumber trusts, coal trusts, and oil
trusts. We want self government,
but we want it as members of the
great American Union, and on no
other conditions.
