INTERIOR FOR M’BRIDE.
Exchanges coming on recent boat*
arriving in Ketchikan, say? the
Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle, includ
ed a number from Interior Alaska,
including The N’enana News and
the Fairbanks News-Miner, both of
which show that the Republican
clubs of those towns enforsea J. C.
McBride for national committeeman
of the Republican party.
Throughout the Territory, re
marks the Chronicle, all the news
papers except those controlled by
Herron show conclusively that the
sentiment of the rank and file of
party members is for McBride, and
that they will be on election day.
In addition to the reports from
the Interior come advices from An
chorage and Seldovia that Mr. Her
ron will fare badly at the hands of
the voters, many of whom are fish
ermen, who allege that they were
treated shamefully by the candidate
for national committeeman in the
matter of payment for their sea
son’s work, or rather in the matter
of non-payment. While the Herron
forces claimed to have the solid
labor vote ot iveteniKan, tne nron
icle is informed by Mr. W. C. Reed,
the secretary of tile Ketchikan lo
cal, that such is not the case. The
sentiment in the labor ranks of
Ktchikan. because cf the reports
coming from Anchorage ar.d Sel
dovia. is far from being friendly
toward Mr. Herron, it appears.
A TERRITORIAL CONSTABULARY
It is more than a score of years
since the editor of the Juneau Em
pire began newspaper making >'•
Alaska. In all the period that has
elapsed since, he writes ir. a recent
issue of The Empire, there has
never been many months, go by tha'
some prominent Alaskan, some com
mercial body, some fraternal organ
ization or some ^newspaper has not
spoken out in favor of the estab
lishment of an organization similar
to the Canadian mounted police in
Alaska. As a citizen and official.
Governor Riggs has favored it for a
dozen years or more. He is one of
many in Alaska who have done so.
The editor of The Empire has
never favored it. He has never
brought himself to believe that the
good such an organization could do
—and there is much good that it
could do—would be worth risking
the dangers of an inquisitorial con
stabulary that is so foreign to the
individual liberties of Americanism.
Yet, many of the best citizens and
finest officials Alaska has had dur
ing the past score years have fa
vored such an organization, and pro
tested that opposition to it was the
oretical rather than practical. Among
these is Governor Riggs.
ABOUT “POOR MAN’S" CAMPS.
While the Hyder people admi!
that in the sense that the new min
ing district near that place is no1
one where poor men can develop
and operate mines, they insist, says
the .Juneau Empire, that Hyder wil'
be a good place for poor men tc
better their conditions. In a letter
to the Seattle Times, the Hyde:
I Commercial club says:
‘•Not a poor man’s camp? Cer
tainly not. Was ever a quarts!
camp a poor man’s camp? But it
is a camp which will develop into j
a nice" little mining town, one in !
j which the poor man will have a bet- j
ter chance for himself and familv,
!
1 than he ever had in the narrow J
confines of a city's box canyons.!
commonly called streets."
