A GIFT OF NERVE
The Nome Nugget reflects the views of many Alaska news
papers, on a pertinent matter, when it says:
“Down Cordova way they have lots of love for aliens who
have the audacity to accept positions where their duty com
pels them to administer the law. It takes more than an ordin
ary gift of nerve for a person who is not a citizen to accept a po
sition such as a United States commissioner in Alaska. It
would be much better if the name of the country the person be
longs to were placed, or substituted for that of the United
States. Men who have been in the country long enough to
have taken out their papers and wish to be appointed to respon
sible positions, should have the common decency to make that
attempt, and we wonder not that the citizens of Kennecott and
Bonanza mines hanged the alien in effigy.”
And yet, when you come to think about it, it was only the
ordinary thing for the itinerant alien to do. Practically a man
without a country, he has been seeking and enjoying an easy
living for sixteen years past. And during that time he has re
sided from a few months at a time to not to exceed three years,,
in Chicago, Seattle, Dawson, Forty-Mile, Dawson, Nome, Seat
tle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Nevada, Dawson, Seattle, the
Philippine Islands, San Francisco, Ireland and other foreign
lands, British Columbia, Seattle, and now at Chitina, where he
arrived in June, 1909.
While in Dawson he represented himself as a subject of
Great Britain. In Alaska and the Philippines, where lie has
held office under the government, he has posed as an Ameri
can citizen. And it was only when he was before the grand
jury at Cordova in November last that he confessed that he
was not a citizen. The inquisitorial body immediately ceased
its investigations of United States Commissoner Healy and re
commended to the court that it was contrary to the intent of
the Constitution and Code of Alaska to continue an alien in a
judicial position.
But the unfortunate part of the whole affair is that
“Judge” Healy has been continued in office during the past
six months. No one seeks to justify the act. Certainly the only
obvious and fair thing to have done last November was to
have removed the alien. The public expected it, Mr. Healy
feared it, and Judge Cushman stated that he intended so to do.
Of course the tenure of office of the commissioner is now only
a question of a short time. In the meantime, while there is se
vere criticism of the unexplainable attitude of the appointing
judge of the division, there is general sympathy expressed
that such a man, who is essentially honest, should allow his
vision to become so clouded that he cannot realize the enormi
ty of the infliction that he has imposed upon the patient people
of the Chitina precinct. And coupled with the recent develop
ments, and others that may follow in the Healy case, it will be
years before forgetfulness will obliterate a deplorable stigma
that attaches to the parties responsible.

James Wickersham as a candidate for delegate to Con
gress from Alaska will be no novelty to the average voter. The
name has been heard upon one or two previous occasions.

Commencing on Monday next the Copper River section will
have occasion to appreciate the fact that Chitina is an impor
tant and promising town. For the first time in its history the
interior section will have a set of full-fledged court officials,
members of a grand jury, and other accessories.

ONE OF HEALY’S JOKES
In our news columns is published a copy of the declaration
and oath taken by M. R. Healy before the election board at
Chitina, on August ninth, 1910. At the general election for
delegate to Congress Mr. Healy was active in behalf of Ed S.
Orr. When he attempted to vote he was challenged by Tom
Parker, the Wickersham challenger, who did not think he had
been in Alaska a year. Mr. Healy, as the affidavit shows,
swore in his vote, which was accordingly accepted and depos
ited in the ballot box. His affidavit is among the election re
turns on file in the governor’s office at Juneau. Among his
other declarations is one that he is a “citizen of the United
States,” always having posed as such. Fifteen months later
he confessed before the grand jury at Cordova that he had
taken out his first papers 20 years previously, and that he was
not a citizen of the United States, being a subject of Great
Britain. He immediately filed a petition for citizenship and
had his hearing before Judge Cushman on May 25, 1912. At
that time, when asked the questions whether he had voted, and
had been challenged at the last general election at Chitina, he
replied in the affirmative. When asked whether he had sworn
in his vote he stated that he had signed something but didn’t
know what it was, as he took the whole matter as a joke. And
for some unexplainable reason Judge Cushman took no cogni
zance of this and other irregularities, but promptly admitted to
citizenship the alien who had been occupying the position of
United States commissioner for a year past. As a consequence
of this regrettable act upon the part of the court Alaska must
necessarily receive some unenviable notoriety, as the Healy epi
sode has been called to the attention of the government bureau
of naturalization. „
GIFFORD WANTS US TO HAVE IT
From a remark made at a public meeting in Seattle by Gif
ford Pinchot last September, after his return from Alaska,
there may be some question as to his good intentions in ap
pearing before the Senate committee on territories. When a
man in the Grand Opera House audience at Seattle inquired of
Mr. Pinchot what he thought of home rule for Alaska, he re
plied, “Well, give it to them; they want it now, but I don’t be
lieve that after they have it two years you will find many men
but who will be sorry that they have it.” And now that he is
advocating the passage of an elective legislature it may be be
cause he believes that it would be a detriment to the territory.
It hasn’t been the practice of Mr. Pinchot to do much for our
advancement. But as his views do not seem to be particularly
sound, we shall hope that his prediction in Seattle will turn out
to be simply the views of a theorist who has been wrong in
many things.

United States Commissioner Healy takes illegal voting as
a joke. And when he subscribes to a declaration that is an un
truth he takes that as a bigger joke. And when he so testi
fied in open court, wonder how far his joking idea extended.
It was well for Mr Healy that he did not appear before Judge
Hanford.
It’s certainly too bad that Emory Valentine won’t have an
opportunity of even making a filing of those Roosevelt dele
gates from Alaska that he would like to foist upon the Repub
lican national convention. He was just a little too late. The
time for filing contests expired before he elected his delegates.
When a man errs, even though he be a public official, the
correction of a mistake would do much to restore him to public
confidence.
Cordova has half-masted its flags on the anniversary of
the “coal party.” Every day in Alaska is a day of mourning
on account of the shameful neglect of Congress to provide for
the needs of that territory.—Exchange.
And there are other reasons why some sections of Alaska
have occasions to mourn.
It is to be noted that copper production in the United
States for 1911 broke all records, witli the output of more than
a thousand million pounds. The most notable gain was made in
Alaska, which produced 22,300,000 pounds in 1911, as compared
with 4,300,000 popnds in 1910. This is only the merest sugges
tion of what Alaska can do. When the immense deposits of
this country are developed the output will be amazing.
