THE INGRATE
In other columns of this day’s issue appears the most
damning indictment of Delegate Sutherland that could
possibly be put into words. Can anyone who has read Mr.
Morrill Goddard’s letter to the editor of the American
Weekly, have the least doubt as to the responsibility for
for the malicious and slanderous articles which appears
in the Hearst papers; for the infamous utterances of Dr.
Clarence True Wilson before the Senate Committee on
Judiciary; and for the general impression left with the
people of the United States that Alaska is a “stick of ini
quity” and that Ketchikan is “the worst pesthole in Amer
ica?”
WThat can we say—what can anyone say—that will
add one word to what Delegate Sutherland has said about
himself in his statements about Alaska. His claim, his
boasted claim, for many years has been that he is a true
adopted son of the great country—Alaska. And his adopt
ed mother has been good to him. Yes, her children have
been very good to their adopted brother. Yet his true na
ture seems to be like that of Cain, though much worse,
Cain but took his brother’s life. Sutherland killed his
adopted mother’s good name. Are there greater depths
than these to which man may fall ?
And for all o‘that Mr. Sutherland has the audacity
and effrontery to ask these children of the adopted moth
er, whom he dragged into the mire, to send him back to
Congress. What may we expect of him? What will he
do ? May we not expect from him in the future what we!
have received in the past?
There is but one answer to these questions: Suther
land’s day is over, for he has been tried and found want
ing. A six-year trial should be enough for a man to prove
his fitness for any job. And it is nigh time that the people
of Alaska fired Dan Sutherland and hired someone else
who will fill the job to their satisfaction.
BE PREPARED
An astronomer comes out with the reassuring news
that the sun has a capacity for fifteen trillion years more
sunshine, in spite of which it wouldn’t be a bad idea to
order next winter’s coal now.
MERELY PERFUNCTORY
Acquisition of the Big Four, Michigan Central and
several small roads by the New York Central, which
would take over the properties under a 99-year lease, is
merely perfunctory, as the parent road already owns, and
has owned for many years, practically all the common
stock of the subsidiaries and has operated them as part
of the system.

tails were furnished by the official
representative from Alaska, now in
Washington.
The alleged facts were not made
up out of our files nor from hearsay
gossip, but were provided by a re
sponsible government official repre
senting Alaska in Washington, who
had lodged complaint with the De
partment of Justice and asserts that
he stands ready to prove his asser
tions.
Under the circumstances it would
seem to me that the American Weekly
Magazine stands upon very substan
tial ground, so far as the warrant for
printing the article.
I would suggest that the Alaskan
packers or their representatives set
forth categorically and in detail, the
specific things in the article which
they deny, and let us take the mat
ter up with the Alaskan Delegate in
Congress. Mr. Sutherland, and see
whether he has the evidence to sub
stantiate the allegations as -set forth
in our article.
I am sorry that our story has em
barrassed our Advertising Depart
ment, and I will be glad to know pre
cisely what statements in the article
are alleged to be “musty with age”
or “covered with moss.”
The complaining letter does not
article were true in the recent past
deny that the things asserted in our
in regard to the canneries—but seems
to imply they are not true now. But
Mr. Sutherland’s charges at this very
moment before the Department of Jus
tice are based upon the assertions
that the conditions in Alaska at the
present hour are as he says they are.
Very truly yours,
