Alaska Customs Headquarters.

The treasury department has is- sued a circular officially announce ing the fact that by act of congress passed at the recent session, the headquarters of the Alaska customs district is changed from Sitka to Juneau. The department long ago recommended this change, but an act of congress was required tu bring it about, and congress some- times moves slowly. It is expected that Collector Jarvis will remove his office to Juneau during the coming summer. Juneau is much more conveniently located, since il is on the direct route of travel to southeastern Alaska.

Viii Delay Appointments.

lne president mas uecldeN to postpone for a somewhat indefinite time the appointment of judges in Alaska to succeed Judge Wicker sham and Melville w. Brown. It is entirely possible that both judges will be appointed to succeed them. selves, although the charges against Judge Brown are much less vague and irresponsible in character than those against Judge Wickersham, and it is distinctly out of consider ation for both of these men that the president proposes to be in no haste about deciding either for or against them.
 A novel proposition, Sc far as Alaska is concerned, is responsible for this delay. It has been sug. gssted that the president and the attorney-general select some person widely known and respected, who shall go to Alaska during the com. ing summer. for the purpose of ex- amining into tine judiciary affairs of the district. The president wants to know the facts, and he feels that it is next to impossible to get them through the ordinary channels.
 He has been lied to repeatedly in regard to the Alaska judges this winter, and the most damaging stories have been told about Wick ersham and Brown, some of which the president has found to be abso- lutely false, and others which he strongly suspects. In the case of Wickersham no single charge has yet been sustained to the satisfac- tion of the president and the at torney general, and this statement cannot be successfully challenged by anybody. In the case of Brown some of the charges have been vir- tualiy proven, and the presumption against the judge is rather strong.
 There is feeling in some quar- ters that the character of the Alas ka judiciary may be improved by changing the policy in regard to the appointment of judges. Within the last four years one judge has been dismissed, another Judge Brown) is under grave suspicion of conduct unworthy of a man occu- pying a judicial position, charges have been made against a third Judge Wickersham), and com plaints have been made against still another Judge Moore). The attorney general has gone so far as recommend Wickersham for reap pointment, for he can find no ground for the charges, and he ab- solutely upholds Judge Moore.
 It is felt that it would be good plan hereafter to select judges for the territory with a view to their advancement on the bench. 1t is proposed that appointees shall be assured at the time of their ap- pointment that good service brings the assurance of promotion to high. CT judicial positions in the United States This policy it. is thought would have the result of command. ing good, high order of judicial ability for the Alaska service, and would compensate in some meas. ure for the small salaries which tht Alaska judges, considering theirlo' cation, receive from the govern ment. And under such an enlight. ened policy as this Alaska would cease to be regarded as a Botany Bay of broken down and often dis reputable politicians.-P.-I.
