rHK FEDERAL JUDGESHIP
The nomination of Chas. E.. Bun
nell by president Wilson for approv
iil by congress as appointee for the
federal judgeship iu the Fourth Di
vision of Alaska was unexpected
only for the reason that it droppol
•he transparent curtain which has
heretofore partially concealed the
workings of the political partisans
that now hare the direction of the
affairs of the territory a little soon
er than it was anticipated would b®
done.
That Mr. Bunnell, for his self
sacrificing spirit in allowing; him
self to be immolated on the altar
of democracy at the last election,
"'as promised by the campaign ru in
•'■S^rs of that organization in case
of his defeat in his candidacy for
delegate to congress, which even
they were forced to admit was a
'oregoiie conclusion, that for his
complacency he should have a
speedy look In at "Flesh Pots of
Egypt," exemplified in this case,
through influences 10 be exerted J'.r
Washington City, by his appOi.it
i lent to some lucrative federal posi
tion, there can be not the slight
•■st doubt, although the accusation
was made by Wickersham adherents
ind its truth vigorously denied by
'he party organs In Alaska aft
his nomination at the Skagway i.-on
vention last summer .
That the promised reward should,
rowever, come iu the shape of an
ippointment to one of the most
•■••sponsible positions in the territory
■•'id one in which the incumbent,
f> properly perform his duties, m '.st
he equipped with mature judginei.t
:id a discriminating mind, legal
learning of a high order and a per
feet familiarity with judicial pro
cedure. was the surprising part of
It. for it is uot to be supposed for a
Moment that Mr. Bunnell, however
.-reat his natural abilities, is quali
fied by his limited experience as a
lawyer, having only recently bevjn
'mitted to practice intnetermon
il cotrrts, to decide intricate and
snotty legal problems in" the deci
sion of which even a veteran in the
profession might well hesitate at
giving in opinion.
The people of the Fourth Divi
sion have a right to demand the
appointment of a federal" judge vho
is competent to adjudicate legally
r.tid with fairness and impartiality
all cases which may come up before
>um, ;ind we apprehend that Mr.
Bunnell's well known integrity, of
v-'hich there is no question, as the
bargaining for and acceptance of a
position secured through political
preferment is not gene.-ally looked
upon as an indication of moral
turpitude on the part of the recipi
ent, will hardly counterbalance, "in
the minds of the public whom he i3
expected to serve, his other dis
qualifications of inexperience and
lack of legal training along the
lines he will be forced to follow.
the goylkxmext axd alask \
A popular and widely-read magu
line of comparatively recent da>e
r-'ives an interesting series of ar
ticles on "Greater America," in
which is shown, with many illustra
tions and statistics, the effect Of
T'nited States control of "our over
seas dominions and their alien peo
ple," which include "the three thou
sand islands of the Philippines,
forto Rico, Guam, Tutilla, Hawaii,
the Panama Canal Zone, Alaska and
the far-flung Aluetian keys—all ad
ministratively parts of the Unite!
States, each in its different way Am
j'i-ican."
These articles are well-written ac
counts of tha accomplishments of
the United States government in the
way of bettering conditions for the
alien race® that inhabit many cf
these "possessions," with the sin
gle exception of Alaska. Figures
are given to show that the trade of
the Philippines with the Unit#J
Stares—Imports and exports—-ia
creased from $4,478,337 in 1897 to
$46,993,332 in 1912; that of IJoi to I
Kico, from $4,169,912 in 1897 to I
S»l.344,ate* in 191J; that of Hawaii#
Horn $io,o3<",874 in ls>97 to $<°9,
723,975 iu 1912. The figures for
' Alaska are not given.
Mho feature of these excellent.ar
ticles which will strike the ave.'u$,<;
Alaskan reader will not be that 'no
! territory is classed with these
| "overseas dominions,'• so union
us that the interest of ilie
leueral government has been
auown to suvu great ex
i tent iu the welfare of the »n
l habitants of these countries in
instances except Alaska. Illustra
tions are givtoi of the splendid roads
I built by the government, one oi
| iheui at a cost of $S,0U0,o00. Trails
| have been cut, school houses bunt,
■ end playgrounds provided. Hospi
tals and dispen>aries nave been
iarnisueu, ajid a. paternal interest
• lias been taken not only in the nit>r
; ai and metual uplift, bat also iu
' tl>o betterment oi tneir material sa;
' louutliiiijs. This is as it shoulu bv,
t:ud the I'uite 1 States is ontitled to
'great creuit for the tilings accom
plished.
But why, one asks, in this Inter
esting review of accomplishments, >
is Alaska not represented? The
verritory contains more undeveloped
country and is far more accessible
, to the residents of the l"nit id
■ States proper for colonization than
any of the other "possessions"
mentioned, and yet there are no
lOiupleted public enterprises to
i'Oint to with pride. Tne puoiic
work so far done in Alaska is rep
resented by a system of road con
struction which has produced iu
best nothing more than trails, whi -.i
cau be utilized only at certain sea
sons of the year. When the pro
posal was made to expend money
for the mode of transportation
that would be oi greatest value to
:he country—railroads—such a nub
uud was raist-u as 10 «uuWi
au apology necessary for having the
temerity to suggest such a taing.
Vet Alaska is sparsely populated by
a hardy class of citizens of tiie re
public, engaged in building an em
pire in as promising a land as any
or the "possessions" in question
The comparatively few millions whie
it is proposed to expend in provi'l
!r.g transportation facilities for Al
aska will, it is safe to say, result
in more direct benefit to the coun
| try at large than all the many mil
lions expended on the alien rac33
'nhabiting tho Islands which have
been Uncle Sam's special care for
| so many years.
When the Alaska government rai'.
road shall have been completed
! more attention will be paid to this
.'great section of the domain of the
| United States, and its people will
oe in a position to work out the
' details for the upbuilding of a
mighty commonwealth without the
assistance of a paternal govern
ment, just as the state3 comprising
the great West have already done
since the government made the way
clear for them by making possible
the construction of railroads.—
