APPOINTMENTS.
Federal office holders ini
Alaska who have failed of j
confirmation including Judge;
Bunnell and U. S. Attorneyi
Roth of the Fourth division,;
are threatened with short!
lease of official life in case!
of the success of the republi
can national ticket this fall,
believes the Seattle Alaska
Dispatch.
It has become known since
the two national conven
tions closed that there is a
concerted plan to Drevent
any more confirmations of
Mr. Wilson's appointments
by the senate, says the Se
attle paper. The republicans,
of course, do not wish to
let the president name his
favorites to long terms in
fat public office overlapping
the most of the tenure of
Senator Harding, chouid he
be elected. There is nothing
unusual about this feelin" on
the part of the republicans.1
Eight years ago when
Woodrow Wilson was elected
the democrats permitted no
Taft nominations to be con
firmed during the short ses
sion of congress, thus hold
ing over for the democrats
a large number of good
places, including a federal
judgeship at Seattle.
1 he situation at this time
is different, however, be
cause there appears to be a
general agreement among
some democrats in the senate
that all Wilson appointments
should he held up in order
to allow Cox, if elected, to
reward the faithful.
Three nominations to the
interstate commerce commis
sion are among those which
will be stopped and Presi-j
dent Wilson is expected soon'
to fill two vacancies on the
shipping board, one of which
will go to a northwest man.'
The latter also will be held
up.
A postmaster is soon to
be named for Portland,
Ore., at $6,000 a year to fill
the vacancy caused by the
summary removal of Frank
S. Myers some months ago,
but the appointment is not
likely to be worth the paper
on which it will be written
by the present occupant of
the White House.
The republicans are con
vinced that it would be a
mistake to let Mr. Wilson!
,give important seats in the:
executive administration ofi
the nation to men who arej
sure to be at odds with thej
policies <jf Mr. Harding.1
and strangely those who sur
round Cox seem to feel the
same way about it in re
gard to their candidate.
LET ’EM GO.
The Republicans of Mis
souri who met at Sedali, to
“clean house,” as they ex
pressed it, and turned the
job over to the State and
National Committees have
finally decided that nothing
can be done. Before the
meeting of the Chicago Con
vention, says the New York
World, it was found that
various party officials and
delegates had Lowden
money in their pockets, and
former Governor Hadley
testifies that it has been the
practice of managing Mis
souri Republicans for years
to sell out to candidates,
some of them not being ad
verse to appearing on more
than one payroll at a time.
It is usejess for decent
Republicans to ask the State
Committee to reform itself,
because that is a close
corporation which the com
mercialized chieftains con
trol, and the National Com
mittee will hardly afford
relief because it is in
upon harmony and not
disposed to be too se
vere in rebuking finan
cial transactions which by
long usage have become al
most an article of faith. The
sums involved this year were
small, and if it were true, as
Mr. Hadley says, that Col.
Roosevelt was sold out for
$50,000 in 1912, that trans
action is ancient history, and
with a big war-chest to fill
right away, Chairman Hays’
associates will certainlv be
in favor of lettings bygones
be bygones.
The one sure way to clean
house in Missouri or any
other State where politcians
traffic in popular rights is
to beat the party responsible
for them, and to keep it
beaten until it is penitent
enough to do its own reno
vating. As reeards Missouri,
it is a sorry truth that Re
publican huckstering began
when the State was first
classed as doubtful and that
as the party has flourished
as have the hucksters.
Aside from newsprint pa
per, only a few grades of
building and mill wrapping
paper are made at the Brit
ish Columbia pulp plants,
but hemlock-spr'uce sulphite
fiber is shipped to outside
mills for the production of
bond, manila, tissue, pure
fiber, printings, and other
high-grade papers requiring
a strong, tough, white fiber;
this system could probably
be followed with pulp plants
located in Alaska.
The lumber industry of the
United States now has its
principal producing center in
the Pacific Northwest, where
the timber resources are
located; it is predicted that
the pulpwood producing cen
ter of the future will be in
Alaska and the Pacific
Northwest, for the same rea
son.

JONES WILL HELP
That a vessel of the Coast
and Geodetis Survey and a
number of launches will be
permanently located in the
waters of Alaska as soon as
he is able to carry out the
plan he is forming, is the
information recently given
out at Juneau by Col. E.
Lester Jones, director of the
service. This is necessary, he
says, in order that the Coast
and Geodetic Survey may
give to Alaska the service
that conditions warrant.
It is the intention of Col.
Jones that whenever
there is a discovery of a hid
den rock or reef it should be
on the charts as soon as pos
sible, and he purposes to
have a survey boat in reach
so that it may proceed im
mediately after such a dis
covery to secure the neces
sary data for the charts.
It is the purpose of Col.
Jones to visit the work in
Alaska every year. He is con
vinced that it is only in that
way he and the Coast and
Geodetic service can be of
the greatest value to Alaska.
Col. Jones is a firm believer
in the merit of first hand in
j formation. He believes that
[cabinet memDers or heads
Sof bureaus which have work
iin Alaska should visit the
jterritory frequently and be
come acquainted with the
! people and the resources and
needs of the country that
they may understanding^7
rule on matters that are
brought before them, and so
they may be able to bring
things to Alaska instead of
[compelling Alaska to go af
‘ ter them all the time.
} Col. Jones, says the Alaska
Daily Empire, has been one
of the most consistent and
| persistent friends of Alaska
[at Washington for many
[years, according to those
[who have visited the capital
jin the interests of the terri
tory. He has freely given his
[time, wide acquaintance and
influence to advance the
material welfare of the ter
ritory
