ALASKA HAS STRONG FRIEND

Do Rahd Starr Jordan as an advo-
 a,%f sel,-governmeut for Alaska will pbe a tower Of strength on the side of those who would introduce American principles tn this district. To addition Co being the best authority in the world upon fish, Dr. Jordan is recognized as one of the leading political economists in the United States and a man who makes a thorough study of everything coming within the scope of his observa- tlon. He is robust thinker and has an abiding faith in the ability Of a peo- pie to manage their own affairs. He thinks the less a people are intertered with from without the better they are on. In short he is a great, stalwart American. an educator and leader of thought. Of course, such a man could be nothing else than an advocate Of the extension oi the fundamental prinei- pies Of tSs American government to Alaska.
 What is as much Co the point, Dr. Jordan Is a personal friend ot Presi- don't Roosevelt, and a man in whom the president reposes as much confidence us he does in anyone. Therefore, Dr. Jor- dan's promise Co havea "heart to heart talk" with Mir Roosevelt means very much, indeed. The people the real American people of Alaska have gained friend at court that Is a giaut' intellectually and inauentially.

BOARDED HIS SHIP
AND TOOK HIS MEN.
The Captain Charges Union Sailors
with Piracy.


New York, Nov. 23.-Capt. Joseph
Smith of the schooner w. e. and w.
T. Luck, lying loaded with coal at
Elizabeth, N. J., bound for Boston,
complained to Shipping Commissioner
H. A. Hamburg to-day that four sea-
men, whom he had shipped Saturday
through the commissioners. had been
taken away from his vessel by force.
by members of the Atlantic Coast Sea-
mems Union. According to the cap
tain's story, he had gone ashore for his
bills of lading, and on returning, found
a steam launch, containing twelve men,
alongside. He was told that as he en-
ployed non-union sailors, they had come
to take off the four men he had
shipped.
Capt. Smith expostulated, but the
men in the launch swarmed aboard
the schooner. The captain rushed for
his cabin to get his revolver, but was
held by one of the boarding party, and
the others of the crew We're overawed
by the superior force of the boarders.
In spite of the captains continued re-
sistance and threats of reprisal. the
four sailors and their captors went
back into the launch and ashore.
Capt. Smith declared that the act of
the assaulting party was piracy, and
he will seek warrants for the arrest of
