CHOOSE RIGHT.
The Republicans of Alaska will
have the opportunity on Tuesday of
naming the Alaska member of the
Republican national committee, who
will have very much to do with the
selection of federal appointees in
the Territory when the Republicans
assume charge of affairs at the na
tional capital. In the opinion of
The News, the choice of committee
man is of first importance among
the,several contests to be decided at
the primary election, and should re
ceive the very careful considera
tion of the voters.
Of the three candidates for the
place, Jack McBride, of Juneau,
seems to The News to be the safest
man to elect. He is an Alaskan of
22 years' continuous residence in
the Territory; a successful and re
spected businessman in the com
munity in which he resides; he be
lieves in Alaskans holding all the
offices in the Territory; he is a
booster for territorial development
and believes that the people of Alas
ka should have absolute control over
the fisheries. He believes in an
adequate road building program, in
better transportation and mail fa
cilities, encouragement of the wood
pulp and paper industry, and more
and better aids to navigation. But
he is not allied with nor responsi
ble to any political faction.
The fact that Mr. McBride is not
a professional politician appeals most
strongly to The News, and the man
ner in which his campaign is being
conducted must appeal to all Re
publicans who favor clean politics.
Mr. McBride has the endorsement
of the Nenana Republican club, the
Fairbanks Republican club, and nu
merous of the party organizations
along the coast of Alaska, and re
ports from his home town indicate
that he will receive practically all
of the Republican votes there.
PATIENT ALASKA.
Alaskans are a patient lot of peo
ple. It is safe to state that they
have stood for more neglect, mor
injustice and more real abuses than
the people of any other section ol
the United States. They have askec
for reforms, complained occasional
ly, but never has there been any
hostility toward those in authority
at home or in Washington; no effort
to evade objectionable laws; no at
tempt to use drastic measures t<
stop abuses, although there havt
been occasions when they have beei
sorely tried. .
Alaskans are law-abiding to a de
gree that is without equal else
where under the Stars and Stripes
They set the pace in. patriotic sup
port of the Government in war
time, and they are still loyal, state
ments of Governor Riggs to th
contrary notwithstanding.
Were this not the case, home rem
edies would have been applied Ion,
ago to put a stop to the canner;
operations at the mouth of the Yd
kon river, which are destroying th
food that rightfully belongs to th
people of the Territory, natives am
whites.
Steps have been taken, it is true
to save the salmon from further
destruction, but the action has been
in the form of orderly appeals to
the authorities at Washington and
petitions to the national lawmakers.
And the result is a further strain
on Alaskan patience. Officials of
the fisheries bureau, whose attention
has been called to the cannery abuse,
reply with the statement that Alas
kans do not know what they are
talking about. And nothing is done
to give the vanishing salmon an op
portunity to recover from the heavy
losses ■ already sustained in their
struggle against extinction. Experts
are coming, it is true, to look over
the situation. They will spend the
summer on the Yukon investigating
conditions, and perhaps another sum
mer getting their reports in proper
form for presentation to their su
periors.
In the meantime, Alaskans must
stand quietly by while the^ cannery
continues operations unrestrained.
Already the working forces are be
ing assembled in Seattle and else
where outside of Alaska, and the
first boats down the Yukon, Seattle
.dispatches tell us, will bring the
cannery employes to the scene of
'their temporary labors, where opera
tions will be conducted with re
i
doubled energy when the season
opens.
i And when the stream has been
| fished out, as it unquestionably will
be soon- without restraint of some
sort, the cannery will be towred
away, "new lields to conquer," and
.Alaskans will be left holding the
sack, with fish pone, and not even
a decent return in taxes.
It is such exploitation that should
be stopped. The Government should
.have stopped it when the presence
of the cannery was discovered bj
the fisheries bureau, or, at least
Alaskans should have been piven th<
, privilepe of saying1 whether or no'
(the exploitation should continue. I'
is that sort of treatment that de
stroys confidence in and respect fo:
the Government, and creates unrest
It is the sort of thing that start
rebellions in other countries, am
^probably would here if Alaskan
were half as lawless as they havi
been represented by their Governoi
