JUNEAU'S POPULATION.

It is not often that an American citv
stands in the attitude of attempting to
prove Its population 10 be less than that
shown bv the federal census, but such is
the position that will be assumed BY Ju-
Reautes at court next week. Especially
peculiar Is the situation when it Is con-
sidered that Juneau has pretended to dis
tinction as the Alaskan metropolis. 1t Is
probable, however, that the saner juneau
ties have forsaken any idea of longer pre-
tending to rival Skagway and thew have
determined to get all the practical advan-
tages accruing to smaller town.
The recent vote on the question of in
corporation when Skagwav polled, in
round numbers, twice as marv votes as
Juneau; was convincing as to the relative
size of the two cities Tho federal census
will furnish further revelation when it IS
announced
However, 1t must not be understot d
that Juneau is really as small as such a
population would indicate. There Is much
difference between town of 1900 in Alas
ka and in one of the old states of the
Union. The percentage OF women, chill
dren and dlers is so much greater In the
old communities that an Alaskan city of
1900 will compare, in business way,
favorably with one of 1900 or 1900 if
situated in one of the eastern states.
Skagway and Juneau are both of much
more importance than their population
would indicate.

MIR. HEID's BETRAYAL.

Deputy Marshal Grant, of Wrangel,
one of the delegates to the Republican
national convention has returned and is att
tempting to justify the action of the Alas
ka delegation in disregarding the instruc-
tionS of the district convention in relation
to the national committeeman and to ex-
honorate Mr.. Held for accepting the posi-
ton for which Mr.. Price had been selected.
Mr.. Grant says that Mr.. Held is in no
wise to blame. That he attempted to
have Mr.. Price selected, but that Secretary
Dick, of the national committee, insisted
that man be chosen national committee
man who was on the ground and who
could participate in the organization for
the campaign.
Mr.. Grants story does not sound we'll
and it lacks much of justlfying Mr.. Held
In the eyes of Alaska republicans. In the
first place it is altogether improbable that
Mr.. Dick did more than to regret any,
thing that would prevent full committee
from being present. Such thing as the
secretary of a national committee debating
to state or territorial delegations about
matters concerning themselves is unpre-
cedented. II has never occurred before and
1t Is not likely that Mr.. Dick has at
tempted it. The appointment OF man
for national committeeman who is moi
present at the convention is a frequent
occurance. Mr.. Dick understands as well
as any one that he is not the republican
party of Alaska and he would hardly as
sumo authority to directly override the
will of a republican convention.
II might be different if there had been
ANYTHING approaching contest as to the
organization of the national committee
but there was none. The absence of a
few national committeeman was of little
importance, and the fact that Mr.. Held
did not get single plank in the national
platform asked for by the district conven-
tion would indicate that his presence as a
national committeeman would not be of
such paramount Importance that he could
not be spared as we'll as any other
However, granting the excuses made by
Mr.. Grant all the weight he would have
attach 10 them, Mr.. Held is yet not exon
Grated. There were two things which
stood out clear and above all else at the
Juneau convention. First. the convention
wanted Mr.. Price for national committee
man, and second, 1T DID NOT WANT
MR.. Held! In fact 1t was only bv ut.
terly humilating himself, and begging
with tears in his eyes, that Mr.. Held was
ever elected as delegate to the Philadel-
phia convention. The convention was not
friendly to him, but to the contrary, posi-
lively hostile. Under such circumstances
his.effrontery in accepting the national
commtteemanship under any circum>
stance was discrediting to say the least.
His duty was to insist upon the election of
Mr.. Price. If it became absolutely i'm
perative that some one on, the ground be
selected, he should have named MI. Grant.
Under no condition should he have ac-
cepted 1t himself.
Mr.. Held has betrayed the convention
that elected him delegate, There is no
other way to regard his action.
