A DESPERATE REMEDY
Desperate conditions require des
perate remedies. After a three
weeks journey to the westward, talk
ing over conditions with many fish
ermen and residents of the fishing
section, The Gateway is of the opin
ion that the greater part of the talk
about serious depletion of the fish is
largely brought about by a misunder
standing of conditions, and by politi
cal propaganda. Practically every
resident who has lived in the Bristol
Bay and other sections declare that
while fish are scarce one year, they
increase in others, and are emphatic
in their desire to allow the packing
companies longer seasons under less
restrictions.
Their reasons for so declaring are
that there are few resources being
operated at the present time, and to
stop fishing would practically emp
ty the districts of both natives and
whites, who are dependent upon the
caneries for their living. North of
the peninsula about half a pack was
secured in the thirty day period al
lowed. South of the peninsula the
canneries are enjoying the greatest
run of pink fish or humpbacks known
for years, the waters being literally
alive with them.
The residents of the sections to
the westward prefer to take the
chance of having the fish supply de- i
pleted to starvation and an exodus. |
They believe that if the canneries j
quit they will have to move.
THE PRIMARY HAS FAILED
The Territory is again torn asaun
der politically over the question of a
Territorial committeeman. The Re- j
publicans allege they have been job-j
bed by the election of John Frame,
a long-time democrat to the office of
Territorial committeeman, while the
Democrats ,who probably helped
bring about the condition, are chort
ling over the discomfiture of their
opponents, and look for an easy vic
tory on party lines this fall. The
| people of Alaska do not stop to rea
lise that the National committee will
never recognize their right to elect
a committeman, as the office, an
honorary one, is strictly within the
control of the National organization.
As well might the voters attempt to
elect a head to the Methodist church.
The whole muddle 7nay be properly
placed as the fault of the primary
system, which allows the voters of
one party to concentrate against the
candidates of another party. Under
the old convention plan it would be
impossible for such conditions to
happen. The Gateway believes the
primary will always be a failure in
Alaska .where no penalties are pro
vided for illegal voting, or for voting
more than once .
The Territorial legislature which
provided for the vote on governor,
convention delegates and committee
man, probably never investigated
their right to name such officials,
provided for in the Organic Act, and
reserved as a prerogative of Con
gress.
Without entering into the merits
of the case, we believe the National
committee should have the naming
of its members. To attempt to thrust
a member into the convention whose
partisan policies had not been clear
ly proved would end in the disrup
tion of the organization.
DITTY OF THE DEAR DUE
DOLLAR
An editor has been inspired, after
looking over his list of delinquent
subscribers, to compose the follow
ing: “How dear to our hearts is the
old silver dollar, when some kind
subscriber presents it to view; the
Liberty head without necktie or col
lar, and all the strange things which
to us seem so new; the wide-spread
ing eagle, tde arrows below it, the
stars and the words with the strange
things they tell; the coin of our fa
thers, we’re glad that we know it,
for some time or other ’twill come in
right well; the spread-eagle dollar,
