THE ANSWKK IS KASY
John Randolph Tucker, .Jr.. o
Virginia and P. M. Saxton 01 Fort
laud Oregon, appointed to tw? ol
the most important Federal posi
Hons in Alaska, is the news thai
came by wire yesterday, and t us 11
the face of repeated official
nouucemeuts that it is the policy ol
the administration to fill appoint
ive offices within the Territory ol
Alaska with Alaskans only.
The query naturally arises. Why
in view ot the solemn pledges t
the contrary, have these rank out
eiders been chosen in preference U
men who have lived in the north foi
years, who have been identified win
its progress professionally, and ota
erwise in all its phases of devel
opntent, who are perfectly tainilU
with our iueds, and who, there i
uo doubt, are as f-liy compete >
in u professional sense as are
men who have been placed in of
fice? It is quite true that a lawye
educated and brought up In th
south or in one of the Pacific coas
states can and probably will admin
ister justice and enforce the law
us well and as strictly as a hom
man, but will he do so any better^
uiore impartially than will the lat
tor'' And If not, what is the
ject or motive for these appoint
uients?
Heading between tu. lines th,
answer appears to be obvious, am
i3 summed up in a very short sen
teuce: -inhaimony"
When Mr. Burleson took over th<
postmaster generalship he aunounc
ed that no applicant for appommeu
as postmaster would be considers,
unless accompanied by the endoree
ment of State and county executive
committees. Shortly afterward th
Seattle postmaster resigned ami
steps v.-'iv taken by the local
ocrats to fill the vacancy. Th
names of men of unimpeachable in
tegrity of unquestioned ability an.
with a record of years of part
iealtv were forwarded for consnle.
at ion, but before action could be tal
en a bitter factional fight was on
and the department was overwhelm
ed • an avalanche of remonstran
ces against every cand.date that ha,
„een named. When the time cam,
ior the appointment to be made a
recommendations were ignored an
a man who had only been a resideu
of the citv for four years and wht
was comparatively unknown, steppe,
into the place.
Aud again, this also in Washing
ton state. The office of surveyoi
general for the state was to be fill
ed. Again the fierce strife amont
the political jackals. Result: th,
appointment of Richard Roediger o
racoma. who had never applied foi
the place, and who was probablj
the most surprised man in the stat,
when he received notice of his ap
pointment. Mr. Roediger did no
live to take office, but the fact thai
he received the appointment withou
personal solicitation was in itself *
rebuke to the wrangling politicians
SKNI> THE "ALASKAN" HOME
YOU A LOT OF
The second district of Alaska ha
just passed through the same ex
perience. For several months i
has been known that Mr. Murane ai
Mr. Kodey were slated for dismissal
Again strife and dissension, am
again the selection of men undream
ed of, of men who have heretofor
had no part nor share in Alaska)
uffpirs. To our mind the solution o
the Question is obvious. Wheneve
the people of Alaska become uii
ited and work in harmony in mattei
affecting themselves and their in
terests, they will receive attention
but until that times conies thei
demands will be ignored as the
have been in the past.
THK MEXICAN* ELECTION* FAUCI
Americans still remaining in Mex
ico and even the well-informed Mex
icans themselves admit that the ele<
liou scheduled for October can re
suit iu nothing less than a farce
says the Tacoma Tribune of Sept
24th. It is conceded iu all quart
ers that there are large areas i
.Mexico, even states, iu which Huert;
has absolutely no standing. H
could not undertake to guarantee ;
fair election iu a state that is helc
by his enemies and into which he i
not able to penetrate even with hi
troops. An election under Huerta"
direction, as conditions are in Mex
ico at present, will mean merely j
vote from the districts he control
and probably a vote as he dictates
It is too much to expect that th
Constitutionalists will accept such
farce; that they will lay dowl
arms and co-operate with Felix Di
az or any one else who might be pu
into the presidential chair by Huei
ta. And unless the rebellious ele
ments are given a hearing iu th
selection of a president and are sat
isfied with the outcome, there wil
be no peace iu Mexico. It is, o
course, obvious that all factions can
not win. But the election should b
a free expression of opinion 011 th
part of all the people, not merel
the Huertaites, and should be pre
ceded by an agreement that all wil
abide by the result. That is wha
John Lind tried to bring about. I
is impossible so long as Huert;
maintains his present attitude
: Many Skagway people are conten
to wait for something to com
around, instead of getting out an
, chasing them around.
