PLAYING A CINCH1
The Fairbanks News Miner says:
The story of Wickersham fol
lower who is willing to show his
loyalty to the cause by betting tw°
to one that Delegate Wickersham
will be re-elected this year, which
story was told in the Times this
morning, is not the story of loyalty
or friendship. It is the story of a
man who sees conditions as they
are, and who is prepared to obtain
a return of 50 per cent on his mon
ey on a thirty-day investment, if
some democrat cares to back his be
lief ia a democratic victory with
nis money. To the average citizen
the "loyalty" of the Wickersham
bettor does not appeal so much as
does the Wickerahamite's knowl
edge of conditions la Alaska.
For the past term of our dele
gate in congress, he has worked for
Alaska, In a direct line as he has
never been able to work in previous
terms and his rewards have come
thick and fast iu benefits for Alas
ka. In previous years, under pre
vious administrations, it was impos
sible for him to do much, for- Alas
ka, for the politicians could not be
broug.it to understand Alaska condi
tions or to assist Alaska necessities.
Therefore, o"r delegate was com
pelled to confine all his efforts to
waving the monopoly danger signal
and warning all and sundry the
people of the United States of the
danger of the Guggenheims and
other easy money ginks obtaining
for nothing a monopoly of the
rich resources of Alaska, to ex
ploit at theip pleasure. Witk the
coming of the Wilson administration
conditions at "Washington changed
and a ruling power stepped In which
was fully alive -to the monopolistic
danger in national affairs, and whic
has made it its business to go
after monopolies and monopolists.
Delegate Wickersham at last had a
sympathetic and willing listener in
an administration, and he sat at
the feet of that administration and
told his tale of woe. and was listen
ed to encouragingly and sympathet
ically, He was told to go ahead
on his anti-monopoly platform for
Alaska, and that the administration
would back him up in eyery way in
its pow»r. Given a clear track
and right-of-way in Ms chosen work,
he ran at lightning speed, and the
result is that everything that Alas
ka needs is on its way here backed
by the Wilson administration and
pushed thereby.
A bet that Delegate Wickersham
will winn this eleotion is not a gam
ble—it is a cinche.. Alaskans may
be oolish in many ways, but they
have been so Up against it for so
long that they could not now be in
duced to change from a sure and
effective representative at Washing
ton, one who has been there long
enough to learn the game and know
the ropes, to a new and untried
man, who so ar as we of the inter
ior know, or are told, has nothing to
appeal to Ug on over our own dele
gate, except the possible recom
mendation that he is a democrat.
It's Wickersham all the way, this
year. Even his traditional enemies,
including t^e News-Miner, realize
ihat any other course would be sui
cidal. ,
THE SUFFRAGE TRUCE
Xot even war for national survi
val has sufficed to repress Mrs. Em
meline pankhuret, or entirely sever
her line of connection with the no
toriety 8he courts. At a meeting
in London a few night ago, called
In support of Ea-rl Kitchener's ap
peal for additional recruits, the
aged militant made a speech. To
the "war to crush militarism" she
pledged the hearty approval of her
associates in the fight for woman
suffrage.
"When th© proper time comes,"
Bhe added, "we shall resume that
fight, but for the present we most
all do our best to boat back a com
mon foe."
When the continental war be
gan tho British homo office re
leased, offending suffragets then in
prison. Xhe theory presumably
was that they would observe good
behavior while the nation, was en
gaged in war abroad. So far as
the dispatches have indicated, the
militant sisterhood has kept the
faith fairly well. But its leader
proclaims the domestic truce only
temporary.
Evidently, if that worthy knows
what she is talking about, as soon
as the international war shall end
[ England will again be confronted
I with the women's war at home.
I The suffragets will revert to the
militarism which they object to in
their country's enemies, will do
their utmost to harass if not over
I throw the government they now
support *nd will resume their
practice with bomb and torch,
however much they may now de
plore Germany's use of those
weapons.
There is no denying Mrs. Pank
hurst's couraga in announcing the
inconsistency of the suffrage mili
tants, in voicing their claim to
monopoly of the business of being
Greafe Britalns' enemies. But the
precision of her prophecy is not
so sure. The suffragets may find
the patience of both government
and public with their methods of
warfare much less marked after
the war than before it-—Cleveland
