JUDICIAL APPOINTMEJTTSOON ~
It is expected almost any day now to hear the announce
ment of the appointment of a new judge for this division. Pres
ident Taft will return tomorrow from Ohio, and as his cam
paigning tours are about over it is reported from Washington
that he will give his attention to important appointments that
are now pressing. For a time it was thought that District At
torney Walker would receive the appointment for the vacancy
in this division, but his friends have about concluded that he
will not be the fortunate man. Two other attorneys are mak
ing a strong effort for the place. One of them is T. C. West, of
Fairbanks and San Francisco, and one of the present attorneys
in the Barnette bank cases. He is now in Washington, and has
advised friends that his chances are very encouraging. An
other strong applicant is Albert Fink, formerly of Nome, and
now of San Francisco. His supporters think that he stands
a good chance of receiving the appointment. Then report from
Seattle has it that a dark horse, a prominent attorney from the
state of Washington, but not from Seattle, is to have the hon
or. And in the meantime everyone is guessing.

. A RAILWAY COMMISSION
The Saturday Evening Post, which delights to boost Col.
Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot, has the following reasonable
endorsement of action that would bring some relief to Alaska:
“The committee on territories has brought into the Sen
ate a bill for an Alaska railroad commission of five members,
to be appointed by the President, which shall survey, construct
and equip such line or lines of railroad as will ‘open up Alaska
and lead to the development of its mineral, agricultural and
other resources.’ The commission may, with the consent of the
President, purchase or lease any existing railroad. To cover the
cost of construction or purchase, the Secretary of the Treasury
is directed to issue 3 per cent bonds of the United States in
•such sums as may be sufficient;’ and an immediate appropria
tion of one million dollars is made, to be covered eventually by
the bond issue. The system of railroad thus created is to be
operated by the commission—at least until further action by
Congress. T£e only restriction is that the system shall not ex
ceen onethousand miles, exclusive of sidings and switch track.
This is an intelligent and admirabel bill. As the case stands, a
government railroad is desirable in the highest degree for the
free development of Alaska, because a monopoly of transporta
tion will mean a pretty effectual monopoly of mineral resources.
That point is hardly disputed. The danger was that Congress
would hedge the grant with ruinous restrictions—practically
tell somebody to build a railroad and then tie him hand and
foot, lest he have too great authority. The sensible proceed
ing, of course, is to appoint a capable commission and turn the
job over to it. This is what the bill proposes to do.”

GUESSING AT LONG RANGE
1
Martin Harrais is now in Seattle, but shortly will return
to Alaska to continue his campaign for election as delegate to
Congress. He makes a couple of predictions that may be all
right at long range, but when the echo reaches this Northland
the sound is filled with skepticism. Mr. Harrais says that
James Wickersham, the present territorial delegate, will de
cline a nomination by the insurgent convention, which is to
meet May 29 for the purpose of sending a contesting Roosevelt
delegation to Chicago. He further says that Wickersham wants
to be governor of Alaska and for that reason does not want to
go to Congress again. Because of the split among the Republi
cans Harrais believes that he will be able to win over Mayor
Gilmore, of Nome, who was nominated at the regular Republi
can convention at Cordova.
Candidate Harrais is likely correct in one of his three
guesses. Delegate Wickersham wants to be governor of
Alaska.
AN UNPARALLELED DISTINCTION
It seems to be the opinion of the people of the western
states that every good foreigner who has the opportunity
should feel proud of the privilege to become an American citi
zen. And while the desirable element is welcomed, in some lo
calities, and particularly in Washington and Oregon states,
they are insistent that a man must be deserving the protection
of the United States before he may become a member of the
family. And they are particularly severe on the man of anar
chistic tendencies or the man who may swear falsely in order
to secure his citizenship papers. In Portland recently a man
was indcted by the grand jury for setting forth false state
ments in his application. In Washington the state constitution
prohibits an alien from acquiring title to land by direct deed.
And now Congress is about to pass a law requiring wireless op
erators on ships flying the American flag to be citizens of the
United States. But our inquiry and research has not as yet
developed an instance on the outside where an alien holds an
office with judicial functions, under the United States govern
ment. That is an unparalleled distinction claimed for the Chit
ina precinct, and we don’t believe that very many of the resi
dents of that percinct are really proud of the fact. Good Amer
icans don’t hanker much after “justice” administered bv a for
eign subject. ' _ _ ___. ^ ^
EDITORIAL COMMENT
The crafty alien this morning almost brought a smile to
the lips of his auditors in court when he on oath solemnly de
clared that he considered himself an American citizen because
he held a clerical position under the government in the Philip
pines. Then when his vote was challenged two years ago he
thought it only a joke. And evidently the court agreed with
him.
July Fourth will be “Flag Day” in Cordova. If United
States Commissioner Healy comes to town on that occasion,
wonder whether he will wear the stars and stripes, the emblem
of loyalty to the institutions of this land of freedom! But some
men can serve two masters, and not be a credit to either.
Last Saturday was observed as Peace Day in Seattle. If
there is nothing more worth fighting for down there why don’t
a few thousand of the people come to Alaska. A discouraged
and impoverished people are full of turmoil here.
It now looks as though Teddy might succeed in defeating
President Taft for renomination. It is possible that a compro
mise candidate may be selected.
There is great glee today in the official court circles of the
third division of Alaska A warning has been promulgated that
the ruelrs of this division must not be criticised. They can
make no mistakes, but if they should, they must be upheld. If
one of the official family should commit such a little act as il
legal voting, forget it, for it’s really no great wrong. See who
did it!
Banker Summers, of Juneau, should have almost a rever
ence for the word “concurrently.” Sentenced to five years on
each of 66 counts, if the word “consecutively” had been substi
tuted by Judge Lyons, we should hesitate to follow the unfor
tunate man during his long exile of servitude.
That inventor who jumped from the Eifel tower to test his
safety parachute for aviators evidently failed to make it fool
proof. *
Teddy announces that he is going to cheerfully accept the
verdict of the Republican national convention. But then Ted
dy also says that “I am it.”
“Judge” Healy has established a new brand of jokers in
Alaska. To declare falsely when you attempt illegal voting is
considered to be very funny.
The work of the Valdez “progressive” convention has
been nicely performed by the real manipulators. The proxy
delegates will simply hold an harmonious ratificaton meeting,
as is the custom at political conventions in Alaska. Some of
these days the people will hold a real convention.
