HOME RULE FOR ALASKA
Whatever credit there may be due for the passage in the
House of Representatives of a home rule measure for Alaska,
falls largely to Delegate James Wickersham. Ever since his
advent into that legislative body he has persistently and in
dustriously advocated a bill that would give to the people of
Alaska an elective legislature. His insistence upon that point,
even under a strong adverse sentiment in the north, has un
doubtedly resulted in changing the views of many of the resi
dents of Alaska, until now there is practically very little oppo
sition to a trial of the system. While many are apprehensive
that it will not redound much either to the glory or benefit of
Alaska, there is a pretty general feeling that in order to stop
the agitation, and to direct effort to more important necessi
ties, it is desirable that the bill become a law. In its passage
in the House by a unanimous vote the political factor was elimi
nated. There was a general feeling that the people of Alaska
desired this experimental measure, and as it conveys very lim
ited powers, it was deemed expedient by legislators of all par
ties that Congress be relieved of some of its responsibility of a
far-off land that is but indifferently regarded, and but little
understood. A strong effort will be made to secure the passage
of this bill in the Senate, and the present outlook is very favor
able for this accomplishment.
Delegate Wickersham lias devoted much time to urging
the necessities of home rule before the committee on territories.
His original bill has been changed in many particulars, but the
essential features remain. He undoubtedly feels highly elated
over the successful passage of the measure in the House. He
has insisted that after this accomplishment he would be ready
to retire from political life and devote his talents and efforts
to the practicing of his profession. If he is still of this mind he
can now retire with a large degree of self-satisfaction and with
the commendation of a large element in Alaska, who are in
clined to the belief that an elective legislature will be the means
of restoring contentment to the people and enhancing the de
velopment of the territory.

TRIBUTE TO TWO ALASKAN BUILDERS
Since the death of M. J. Henev and E. C. Hawkins, hun
dreds of newspapers throughout the United States have re
ferred to their achievements with pride and commendation. Va
rious tributes have been expressed on the sterling worth and
many exceptional qualities of heart and mind of the men whose
memory will ever be enshrined in the respect and affection of
the thousands Vho personally knew these men in their daring
undertakings in the north. A recent number of the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer has the following reference to the greatness
of the men whose lives were almost sacrificed in their daring
accomplishments:
“There is more than a coincidence in the fact that the
death of E. C. Hawkins, the great engineer who laid out the
work for the construction of both the White Pass & Yukon rail
road and the Copper River & Northwestern, should have fol
lowed so soon as it did upon the death of M. J. Heney, the con
tractor who built both of those roads. Under ordinary circum
stances both men should have long survived. At the time when
death came each was in his prime, in years. They were both of
extraordinary physical powers, but these powers were taxed
to the utmost, and apparently more, in the work which they did
in building the first railroads to develop Alaska.
“The construction of either railroad would have been a suf
ficient monument to the skill and daring of both engineer and
constructor. Together they make pieces of work which can
scarcely be duplicated anywhere as the joint product of two
men, the work of one supplementing the work of the other.
Both tasks were accomplished with enormous expenditure of
money. Both were accomplished at the expenditure of the vi
tality of the principals engaged in their construction. The
last of the price paid for the construction of those two roads
was the death of E. C. Hawkins within the present week.
“It has been suggested, and the suggestion seems sound
and proper, that Seattle might well take some step toward hon
oring the memory of these two men, who laid down their lives,
in practical effect, in the great and noble work of opening
Alaska to the world. The work which they did may be, as said,
sufficient monument for either or both. But Seattle will honor
itself in pausing to pay some tribute to the memory of these
two men, who worked together in the accomplishment of great
tasks and whose lives ended within such a brief time after their
last great work was accomplished. ’ ’

GOOD CITIZENS AND ALIENS
There is much discussion in the newspapers these days
over the rights of aliens, and many federal judges are making it
more difficult for aliens to secure citizenship. And in some
states there is a constitutional amendment against alien owner
ship of land. And a man is required to be a citizen before he
can serve on a jury. And some sections of Alaska wish to per
vent aliens from engaging in the fisheries. But in at least one
section of this territory it is not necessary for an alien to be
an American citizen to even exercise judicial functions, and for
that reason United States Commissioner M. G. Healy continues
to hold office. Twenty-one years ago he declared his intention
:o become an American citizen and to forswear his mother
country, Great Britain. After his confession before the grand
jury in November last, since masquerading for years as a citi
zen, Commissioner Healy filed his petition for naturalization.
But he hasn’t been admitted yet, and it is extremely doubtful
if he can ever comply with the requirements of the law, partic
ularly since he was a bona fide resident of Dawson, under Ca
nadian administration, in 1899. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
lias an interesting article on the subject of naturalization, a
part of which is trictlv applicable to Alien Healy, of the Chiti
na precinct. The following is an excerpt :
“Now the courts are getting back to the true intent and
meaning of the naturalization laws. It was intended, when the
first naturalization laws were passed, that there should be a
direct and solemn adjudication of the question by the court
whether the man was of the class that the law contemplated
should have conferred upon it the great privilege of American
citizenship; that it should be found and decided that he was a
man of good character, who had resided in the country a suf
ficient length of time, was familiar with American institutions,
had become attached to the principles of the constitution of the
United States, and was thus fitted to become an American citi
zen, with the full rights and privileges of other American citi
zens.
“Now the local courts, federal and state, have restored the
proceedings in naturalization to their proper solemnity and
dignity. The great privilege of American citizenship is now
denied those who cannot prove by substantial testimony their
right to be admitted to such a privilege. It is a reform of high
value. The one thing needed to purge our naturalization rolls
is provision of law to cancel the naturalization papers of those
who procured them in evasion of the law; those who are not at
tached to the principles of the constitution, who spurn and in
sult the flag of the country and flaunt the red flag of revolu
tion defiantly in the face of the people of this country who have
welcomed them and have given them the privileges as citizens
to which they are entitled, and which they scorn.”

The grand jury investigation into the affairs of the fed
eral officers at Chitina comes somewhat as a surprise. It was
believed that a sufficient showing had been made to warrant
the removal of alien United States Commissioner Healy, but
the court evidently believes that the charges preferred are suf
ficiently serious to require an inquiry as to the criminality of
various acts that have been brought to light.

And there is no use for Captain Scott to hurry back any
way. Amundsen has booked all the engagements.
