LOWS SCOTT KELLER
With the passing of Doctor K#!ler goes a veteran editor and publisher
of the North. Doctor Keller bought tie Dally Alaskan from Troy and
Jensen, July 1st. 1907, and since that time has been responsible for the
publication of the paper In Slcagway. With him, editing the paper was a
pleasure, when he had time to give to the work. His trips to out of the
town places, in carrying on his dental work, made necessary breaks iu liis
work as editor; but even while away, he kept in close touch with the w rk
tDd was ever solicitous of thy stand the paper took on all issues affecting
the town and the Territory. His volct> and pen, and influence were freely
used for every cause which he deemed promoted the welfare of the North.
The fact, that the cause was unpopular, did not changc his attitude toward
it if he felt It was the course to pursue. If in taking his stand thus he
made enemies, he counted his friends rather thau his foes. The publi
cation of the paper during the past few years has meant no inconsiderable
sacrifice of time and means. This, he cheerfully bore in the hope that .Al
aska would come back, and Skagway would take on something of its for
mer activity. He could not bear the thought of his home town being with
cut the latest telegraphic news. Only those who have lived in the North
can appreciate what this means during the winter months. Thoaa who
have been long-time subscribers will regret the passing of one whom th«\v
had come to esteem very highly for his ability to state clcarly and force
fully the great issues involved In a new big country like Alaska, for dur
ing the twenty odd yoars of his life in the North, he has been Its staunch
champion and upholder of every cause which promoted its betterment.
The passing of such pioneers as Doctor Keller is oue of the sad experi
ences which we are too frequently called upon to face.
Fortunate the laud which has men of such sterling worth that th ii
going brings keen regrets to so wide a circle of staunch friends.
IF LLOYD GEORGE COMES
If. as the Pall Mall Gazette says. Mr. Lloyd George has turned down
an offer to lecture in the United States for the time being, but may accept
it in case he loses the election, he will get a reception here that probably
will outdo that which is all set for his friend Clemenceau. This will be
a case in which Americans in the audience will predominate. And this not
so much because all Americans approve of Lloyd george as because they will
all want to know what he has to say.
Whether he is right or wrong, and especially whether he is defeated
or vlctyrious. that enthusiast who prop esied that history would be busier
u .th him than with any other English statesman in the last hundred years
—or was it two hundred?—was not far out. It is likely, too, that no
other member of the Big Five will preoccupy history so much. He jutted
out from the undistinguished mass of British statesmen as far back as the
piacid premiership of Campbell-Bannerman; and it was about that time, or
even., as far back as the time Lord Salisbury, that journalism began Its
yearly task of announcing: "This time, at any rate. Lloyd George faces
certain defeat." But for twenty years he has read that newspaper lint
with what must have been ever-growing amusement; and ne has grown
steadily till he filled the skies.
He knows his America like a book; he is more thoroughly conversant
with American history tuan most Americans, and knows more about Amer
ican politics and the American spirit than most politicians over here; in
proof of which, though he talks frequently a' oui this country, however yet
has rnuoe a mistake or even a slip, has nevi<r,bowed the knee and never
given offense. If Pall Mall Gazette is right and it he is defeated, America
w.U hear ou English lecturer that it cannot take the usual exception to.
—Ketchikan Chronicle.
THE HIVING WAGE
There are some things to«bo thankful fur, and among others is the fact
that a majority of ti.e Railroad Labor Board understuds and is not afraid
to say that the fallacy of the living wage "if carried to its legitimate con
cilia.on would wreck every railroad in the United States, and if extended
to other industries would carry them into economic ruin." That is cour
age uud sense in a sentimental world, and the peunywise idealism of Edseil
Kurd a»iall not prevail against It. What-is a living wage? Who shall
determine it? Money fluctuations, values change with the individual need,
life :s never uniform, the luxuries of today are th-2 necessities of tomorrow,
the very term "necessity" has lost all meaning, different men need different
things aud different ways of life, progress of the race depends on such vari
ety. and a "living wage" would never mean the same thing two months in
succession nor to any two men. Especially it would never mean the samt
thing to any two women. In the view of our amiable sentimentalists, the
guaranty of a living wage would release the human soul for higher flights,
lu actuality, it would do no such thing, for with a living guaranteed, the
majority of men would become unconscionable slackers, industry would be
wrecked, production would fall to the minimum, the nation, through scar
city. would have to go on short rations, and no soul can fly high on an emp
ty stomach. Production is the result of work, everyboudy's part, capitalist,
manager and laborer Included. Work is the result of some personal am
bition. a little pride, a microscopic modicum of altruism which is too small
to count and alway* will be„ and about 98 per cent anxiety and fear. It Is
sad, but it is so. Tenure of employment, old age guaranties, minimum
wage . sure pay enough for "reasonable comfort," or a "home with a gar
den," are all visionary. The Labor Board is right.—Cordova Times.
WHEN OLD GLORY WAS UN
FURLED IN THE TERRITORY
Writing in Stroller'8 Weekly A.
P. Kashevaroff says:
On the anniversary of the day
when Alaska became territory of the
United States one should remember
the events leading thereto and en
deavor to refresh one's memory of
all events taking place on that day.
With very few exceptions all citizens
of Alaska know tne story of the
ceremonies that were enacted on the
Baranoff Castlo hill on the 18th day
of October. 1S67. Yet there are
other bits of history that -are only
kncwn to those who make a study of
Alaskan history as a'whole.
The is a very interesting history
of the raising of the American flag
at Chilkat that very few people know
about.
On June 4, 1SG7, Captain W. A.
Howard of the revenue cutter serv
ice was ordered by the secretary of
the treasury, H. McCulloch, to take
charge of t':e revenue cutter Lincoln
and proceed- to Sitka and the Rus
sian possessions In America later
ceded to the United States, for the
purpose of affording protection to!
the revenue during the period of I
doubtful and uncertain jurisdiction I
between the ratification of the treaty;
and the formal occupancy of the
country.
IRISH PREMIER ASSISTANTS
.1KB ALL YOUTHFUL
Dublin, Nov. 30.—The provision
undor the Free State constitution
that ministers directing important
departments shall not be members
of parliament has afforded oppor
tunity of appointing to such posts
men *>f ability irrespective of their
politii-al oppularity.
Noiable among *.he members of
the provisional government today are
Kev.n O'Higgins, min.ster for home
affairs, who was rather a storm cen
ter in the late Dail. Today he is con
ciliatory in temper, and very loud
and persuasive in explanation. He
is a young man well under thirty, a
grandson of T. D. Sullivan, a veteran
in the old Parnell movement, and a
nephew of T. M. Healy, one of the
foremost Irish members in the West
political popularity.
Mr. O'Higgins was trained for law
He was a solicitor's apprentice, serv
ing his time in the ofllce of Maurice
Healy. former member of the parlia
ment of Cork, but his intervention in
the Sinn Fein movement and conse
quent arrest by the police prevented
his ytual entrance into the legal
profession. He is now at the head of
all the law, judges and police In Ire
land. and his competence for his job
is fully recognized.
Next in importance is Ernest Blyth.
now minister for local government
and in charge of all the public ad
ministrative bodies in Ireland, both
municipal and rural. He also was in
jail, and during the Sinn Fein re
gime was minister of trade. He Is
very young: comes from the six coun
ty areo. and speaks English with a
strong Ulster accent. He is a cap
able debater, and frequently deput
ed to state the views of the govern
ment of the house.
Patrick O'Hogan, a young solicitor
whose father was a chief official of
the Irish land commission and w ose
nncle, Monsignor Hogan, was presi
dent of St. Patrick's college. .May
'iiooth, administers the agricultural
department.
These three young men are Mr.
r^osgrove's chief assistants. They all
share fully the common-sense attit
ude which has marked his conduct
since he became prime minister. That
attitude Is firmer and less yielding
than the parliament was accustomed
to from either Mr. Griffith or Mr.
Collins. His purpose is fixed and de
clared. He avoids being led into
speculative debate, and resists all
<ugg<'stions to "make it unanimous,"
unless of the proposition he is maln
I talniug.
The humorous speeches Mr. Cos
grove used to make In the last Dail
ire now rare with him, but when he
is getting his own way he still occa
sionally indulges the house with a
laugh. On the question of I he neces
sity of putting down all armed op
position to the civil government he
s uncompromising, and the exploits
of the irregulars in ra:a.-i and am
hushes strengthens his determina
tion.
SHll'S SCRAPPED
IX BRITISH NAVY
London, Dec. 1.—The Naval De
partment announced last night that
sight capital ships had been scrap
ped; two were dismantled, and six
rendered useless for war purposes,
under the terms of the Washington
agreement.
Captain Howard arrived in Sitka
in September where he waited many
weeks for the steamer "Ossipee"
which had the commissioners on
board. The "Ossipee" being a very
slow steamer, made very slow prog
ress. As there was no word of the'
steamer, Captain Howard determined
to visit the Chilkat country where
he heard there was a war between
the most powerful chiefs of the Chil
kats and the minor chiefs. Captain
Howard hoped to return in time to
receive the commissioners and to as
sist them in the ceremonies of hoist
ing the flag of the United States.
On October 17th the revenue cut
ter Lincoln, after cruising about the
Chatham straits and Lynn canal ar
rived at Chilkat anchorage. At 1:30
p.m. five large war canoes came alng
sido, one with the Hudson's Bay com
pany's flag flying, and Jack, the in
terpreter, in full British officer's uni
form, came on board. The head chief
soon arrived with his wife and were
received in the cabin, where the cap
tain had a long talk with him. This
chief had the reputation of being
very quarrelsome. He demanded
to be given whiskey, which was re
fused. He said: "If you had no
presents to give me, no coats, pants
shirts, why do Von call mo? Talk
without whiskey no good; s'pose
plenty whiskey and presents, then
talk good."
Captain Howard had heard of the
character of this chief and knew
that it was necessary to secure th<a
good opinion and friendship of this
chief for the good of the future Am
ericans who might visit there.
After an hour's talk the ?hlef. was
convinced that the chip was. not a
trader, hut the great American Chief
had sent the vessel to talk with him.
The captain promised the chief that
presents would be given him provid
ed he was true to the new flag. He
made him a present of a handsome
new overcoat, fully trimmed with
braid: tobacco, molasseB and biscuits.
He gave him an American flag which
he promised to respect. Several of
the minor chiefs were also honored
by presents. All departed feeling
much better disposed toward Ameri
cans.
The United States flag was hoistPd
at Chilkat within a rew minutes of
the time It was hoisted at Sitka, as
it was afterwards ascertained. At
1:30 p.m. on the 19th of October.
Captain Howard arrived at Sitka,
where he found the flffg of the t'nlon
flying over the government house.
