THE BABY ACT
(Fairbanks Citizen)
Wickersham, the fighter, seems to
have been but a myth. One that has
been exploded, and Wickersham, the
Baby stands forth in its swaddling
clothes with all the brazen effrontry
with which the famed “Fighter” for
merly strutted on the streets and
public platform. For the first time
in his life he finds himself in a real
contest, one in which the going is
not all one way.
The result is disappointing to every
one. Instead of showing the at
tributes of a real fighter, wearing a
grin and wading in with the joyous
ness that every battler exhibits when
a real scrap is in progress, he ducks
and runs for cover.
According to reports from Valdez
he is afraid he will be murdered if
he hales any more signal corps men
into court to find out how they voted.
Imagine Durwood Hocker and Assist
ant Cashier Whittle sticking a gun or
a bowie knife inside their leggings
and starting out on a still hunt for
Wickersham. They are fairly repre
sentative signal corps men and we
know the whole bunch. None of
them ever murdered anything but the
Morse code (it’s a shame what some
of them do to that), but they wouldn’t
harm a hair of Wickersham’s head if
he were Hindenburg himself, instead
of just another busted fourflusher.
And even if he escaped murder,
Wickersham finds that it would do
him no good to examine the soldiers,
since his friends tell him that half
of them will say that they voted for
him. This, he declares, would be
nothing but perjury. He need not
worry. The Citizen believes that
wherever he finds a soldier willing to
admit that he voted for Wickersham,
he will find that the man is telling all
the world something he his now
ashamed of.
The serious side of Wickersham’s
efforts is found in his stand on the
voting of the soldiers stationed at
Fort Liscum. These men were draft
ed from various Alaskan coast points,
probably all of them from the Third
division. They were Seward and An
chorage men mostly. All * of them
were Alaskans prior to their induc
tion into the military service. Ap
parently the fact that they were,Alas
kans in civil life has no influence
with him. He does not hesitate to
try to disfranchise them if it will
gain him one vote, even though there
is no bar to their voting except that
they were wearing the uniform of
their country when the election was
Vi a 1 /-l
ALASKA NOTE AND COMMENT
They Know They are Untruthful
Wickersham states what he knows
to be false when he says he fears mur
der if he continue taking depositions
of American soldiers in the signal
corps. James Wickersham knows,
as does every one else in Alaska, who
knows anything about it, that a finer
lot of boys were never got together
in one organization than those who
constitute the United States signal
corps force in Alaska. Likewise
Wickersham and Wickershamites
know, as everyone else knows, that
they practice duplicity and deception
when they try to create the impres
sion that the Democratic organization
or any one else “put up” Tom Selby
to resent what he conceived to be an
insult to his sister, or that they 'have
plotted murder or any other crime
against Wickersham.—Juneau Em
pire.
But He Got Away
The Cordova Times has captured
a near-poet somewhere in the wilds
of that neighborhood. Each day this
near-poet has a column of near
blank verses in the paper, telling of
near-beer, near-scandals and other
things. The column is headed “Cor
dovanltiee.”—Ketchikan Chronicle.
Well Qualified
A story has been carried in a num
ber of Alaskan newspapers to the
effect that James Wickersham is to
write a history of Alaska. He has
been doing enough tearing around the
territory getting evidence to contest
elections to have data enough for
several histories.—Douglas Island
News. »
Keeping a Stiff Upper Lip
The Times has been told that it
had better commence to write its
obituary. Guess not. She is a good
boat. If she had not been she would
have gone down long ago. Flattering
offers have been made to our news
boys and our help. They may accept.
We do not know. Anyway we are pre
pared for battle. The good boat will
never sink, as slje is piloted by
American citizens and printed and
published by American citizens who |
have come to Ketchikan to make their
future homes and help in keeping
Ketchikan the first city in Alaska.—
Ketchikan Times.
