“ THE RIGHT SPIRIT LACKING
Although a considerable sura "as subscribed
for yesterday- thespirit displayed in taking up
the Vitory Loan, is not so bauyant as in the pre
vious loans. Because reports from overseas
are no longer of the bloody kinds, we must not
think that the war is over. We may have to go
into it again. Nearly a million of our boys are
still over there and will stay .here until we have
the Huns where they won’t be a menace to the
world's peace, and it takes money to do that.
Real Americans should be ready at all times
to aid Uncle Sam with their n nej. because the
Old Man is not unreasonable.
Of all the advertisng reading that appears on
the various posters, the one that strikes with
the most force is the one picturing Uncle Sam
with a hand scales weighing us. Underneath, it
says: “Do you weigh 100 per cent? You are
on the scales of Americanism. You can't weigh
up to standard unless you subscribe to the Vic
tory Loan.” And you can’t For the simple rea
son that the job is unfinish'• a r.r. 1 Americans are
no quitters. When they -tart ? mething they
see it through, and this war vrill be no exception
The only way to prow it is cor the say-at-home
to loan Uncle Sam their ir . • Let us get up
a little more spirit into this thing and finish the
job. The Huns are down but not out.
Governor Riggs’ proposal to establish a cons
tabulary in the Territory .ig the lines of the
Northwest Mounted Police - good move and
should be acted upon by t’•:••• I aw: Mature. Alaska
could produce a body of men c am would have
the R. N. M. P. back-: 1 off the : am They would
be a wonderfulhelp in sank 1 • during the
fierce blizzards, and wound, carry iaw and order
to every part of the terrtory. Th ? United Sta
tes Marshals and Deputies have made a wonder
ful change in the Territory in the past twenty
years, but a large part ox the work they have
voluntarily performed is outsi; their line of
duty. There is r. more rea-s-n for a deputy
marshal to mush out in fifty below weather to
bring in some unfortunate who has been caught
by the cold, than for any other government offi
cial. but they have been doing it for years. The
deputies have performed every task asked of
them cheerfully and willingly; but in many cases
it has been an impossibility to ask their help.
With a body of constabulary patterned along the
lines of the Mounted Police the two offices could
work together, the deputies attending to the Fe
deral end of the business and the constabulary
looking after territorial matters. In this way,
the people of Alaska would be doubly protected,
and aid could reach the afflicted much more
quickly and with less governmental red tape.—
Valdez Miner.
HOIST BY HIS OWN PETARD
Politically and personally, Wiekersham is the
“best" advertiser who ever came north. He
knows no rule of fairness or political honor which
he will observe a minute longer than it serves his
interests to do so^ and there is no advantage he
will not take; no length he will not go to obtain
credit or hurt an opponent.
However, this is probably the reason he has
worn out his welcome and his “pull" in Alaska.
He has the ability which would enable a kinder
man to remain delegate of Alaska forever, but
he cannot think of others or refrain from trying
to hurt somebody. It is recited in his own home
town where he is best understood and where a
study has been made of his acts in the long years
he was there, that it is impossible to recall the
name of another man who never has a word to
say in favor of any other man on earth, at any
time or inany place. It is called to mind that in
the long years he was on the Bench here, never
in a single instance in sentencing some poor devil
to long terms of imprisonment did he ever find
a word of kindness to say to the convicted man,
but rather addedto the man’s punishment by
"balling him out,” and in the man’s hour of trial
when he had no possible protection against in
sult being added to punishment. This last play
of writing a private letter to a cabinet officer and
then giving a copy of it to the press of the coun
y: the making of charges which it would be
possible to substantiate; the intimation that
•j“nn E. Ballaine wes ever thought of as a di
rector of the Alaska government railway under
Secretary Lane, and the kind words Wick says
of Ballaine whom he knows no Alaskan has any
use for or confidence in his Alaskanism. is an in
dication of the political Machaevelism of Wick
ersham which makes him the menace he always
will be to Alaska and has finally reduced his vot
ing sterngth until it is no longer formidable in
Alaska—hoist by his own petard.—Fairbanks
