SATURDAY, DECEMBER IF, 1904

THAT portion of President Roosevelt s message, relative to Alaska, shows the attention of the President has been at tracted to the needs of this country, and that he means to give needed as- distance He expresses desire to ex- tend governmental aid in the construc- tion of railroads from coast to Yukon; wagon roads in districts where needed. To give us representation in Congress, by delegate, and to purify our courts of existing corruption. The fact that President Roosevelt has recommended "that judges and their clerks in Alaska be divested of their administrative ex- ecutive functions, . is movement in the proper channel, and strikes the key note. It shows that the President re- alizes the present condition Of affairs in this district, and means to put stop to judges being absolute czars in their divisions.
 The present system of appointment of commissioners, irrespective of their ability, integrity, and morality, and re- taining them in office against the wish es of the majority of the people, is con- trary to the true principles of a free and independent form of government. The abuse of this administrative exec utive function has been fully demon :strated in this division by Judge Wick ersham. He has not only appointed men to the office of commissioner whom he knew were not competent to fulfil the duties of the office, but he has pro- tected and retained them in their nefar- ious work, because they were, as he supposed, useful to him in advancing his own political and financial interests.
 These is no portion of Uncle Sam's domain, other than Alaska, where the District judge has absolute control over the issuance and revocation of business licenses. This executive function alone gives judge vast power over the peo-

ana cannot bear to have his past cfhcial acts brought before the people, is not worthy of office. It sounds bad to hear federal official, during the heat of campaign, publicly threaten private citizen with great bodily harm, and to belittle the dignity of his office by use- ing vulgar and obscene language in a public place.
 Ii every person who takes an active part in a political campaign should have the life beaten out of him by political office holders, merely for showin the incompetency of candidates, the privil- ege of free speech would be entirely ob- liberated, and corruption would reign supreme. When officials themselves, cease to respect the laws they are sworn to enforce, they then become unfit fer office, and cannot expect the support of law-respecting people. Officials are granted executive power for the pur- pose Of enabling them enforce the laws as they appear upon the statute books, and not for the purpose of satisfying personal animosity.
 They have not the privilege of vio]at- ing the laws anymore than has private citizen. Subordinate officers should not make their leaders load of incompetency the heavier to carry; the weight is al- ready immense. It should be remem- bered that the last straw was what broke the came!'s back. Those who are unsuccessful ir4 securing the coveted po- litical brize should take theil oeieal like men, and reI1emper there are others in tie world worthy Of recoSniti n. All cannot hold oll4ce at the sauc time; there must be few privates in the ranks. Of course one dislikes to loose political paystreak, but that which is one mans loss is anothers gain. Wben- ever public officials announce that their official acts and conduct shall not be criticised by the public then be- come the very men who need attention.

pie, and should the Judge have political aspirations, and corruptideas, he is cer- tain to avail himself of th:s authority and further his private interests. This has also been fully demonstrated in this division by Judge Wickersham, who has given the people to distinctly under stand that their engaging, or continuing in business depended entirely upon their personal treatment of him and his hencfl- men.
 The present ad dni;istrative lavs of Alaska are so framed as to nsaEe tEe District judge absolute monarch of his division, and if 80 inclined, he can build up around himself, network of polit- ical corruption almost impossible to segregate. The laws governing other territories do not bestow upon the Dis trict judge such administrative execu- tive functions. It is on the line of good government that judge should not be allowed to control and manipulate the commissioners and license collectors offices. They should be separate and distinct from the judiciary. Should the officials holding these different positions violate the provisions of. the law gov- erning their official duties, it then be- comes the duty of the District judge to grant fair and impartial trial.
 It is a we'll recognized illegal act for court to sit in judgment against it's alf The President cannot be held wholly to blame for corrupt and incompetent men obtaining appcintive federal positi>ns. It is almost a physical lmpossibility for him to become personally acquainted with all the applicants for the numer- ous positions connected with our form of government. He is therefore forced to rely upon the applicants s recommen- dations and endorsements. If after the submission of overwhelming proofs of the incompetency of the appointee, the incumbent is still retained in office, as is the case of Commissioner J. Lindley Green, then the appointive power be- comes personally responsible to the people.
