HOW JUDGE WICKERSHAM
 REWARDS HIS HENCHMEN

THE action of Judge Wickersham in appointing H. l.. Hedger to United States commissionership is another sub stantiative proof of Governor Brady's charge the judge usually appoints some particular protege, and it is noticed that the appointments to near ly all the places which pay best are fill- ed by persons who are peculiarly relat- ed, socially or politically to the judge" Wickersham claims that lawyers only are competent to fill the office of com missioner, and it is we'll known fact that H. L. Hedger knows less about law than hog knows about paradise. He may be another of those natural born lawyers as Commissioner Lindley Green claims to be, only hail. ing from Tacoma instead of Missouri, as does the the latter.
 A man more incompetent for the off, flee than Hedger cannot be found in the Third judicial division. For Judge w lNhV1 OAl(1A1l LO AO4NC uRO11 LIC RCORl0 such man for United States commis- sioner, merely to repay Hedger for his dirty work while foreman of the feder- al grand jury at Rampant, and for in- terviewing Investigator Day; is an act we'll in keeping with the grand dukes corruption. The people would not elect man like Hedger to such an important position, knowing him to be totally incompetent to fulfil the duties thereof. The appointive power should be as discreet; knowing the people are the ones to suffer from the imposition. It is we'll that Wickersham' name is to be withdrawn from the senate, for were he permitted to make few more such appointments, the president would have cause to think there were none in Alaska fit for office.

ALASKA EXPLOITED AS A
 COMMERCIAL JUDICIAL FIELD

JUDGE W1CKERSHAM now rcallZeS III setting his trap for Governor Brady, by writing his famous letter, that he himself has been caught. Had Judge Wickersham been honest and true to the wishes of the people in his division, while at Washington during the winter of 1903-4, the Third judicial division would have been divided. and the Yukon district have now had a resident judge. He could have, at that time, have made a record which might have had him con- frmed as district judge of either divis- ion. His eagerness, however, to retain the commercial judicial manipulation of both the Valdez copper district and the Fairbanks gold district caused him to sacrifice the interests of the people. and unintentionally ruin his own politi- cal future. That one act has kept the division back two years in administra tive advancement, and shows what he would do should greater opportunities present themselves.
 District judges in Alaska are vested with political power and great judicial privileges. So long as this be the case men of Wickersham' stamp should be kept out of the position. The judiciary of Alaska should not be permitted to engage in commercial enterprises with in the District. A judge on the bench, adjudicating financial controversies, should not be hampered with biased mind caused by active personal com mercial interests affected by such adju- dication. Judge Wickersham has de- monstrated that he is possessed of no conscientious scruples where his fnan- cial or political interests are to be bene- fitted. He has taken advantage of his judicial and political functions to ac- cumulate wealth and influence through through illegal and corrupt channels. He dare not permit an honest and rigid investigation of his administration of civil government in the Third division!
 He has asked Governor Brady-owing to the governors neglect to visit the Yukon district since 1900-to tell him how he found out about the existing corruption of himself and others con- nected with his administration; but is careful not to request or demand that the department of justice vindicate him through rigid and unhampered inves- firotinn This hoinr tho Str9iUhf course

Back from Visiting Tokio, He De
scribes Feeling IN Japan.

Congressman Herbert Parsons and Mrs. Par
sons. who were in Secretary Tafts party on the
recent trip to the Philippines, returned to the
city yesterday, arriving on the Twentieth Cen
fury train over the New-York Central In his
home. No. liz East 35th-st.. Mr.. Parsons said
he and Mrs. Parsons had enjoyed their trip i'm

time of their departure from the city. They left
the Taft party al Manila and went on a sep
arate excursion, which ended at Toxic. They
sailed from the Japanese port on the steamer
Empress OF India, which arrived at Victoria.
r @ on September 70 Mr.. Parsons had prom
ised the Republicans of the 25th Assembly Dis
trict to be back in the city in time for the pri-
rnaries tomorrow. or he might have remained in
Japan a little longer.
In Toxic he and Mrs. Parsons were enter
tanned at the home of Mr. Matsukata. son of
Count Matsukata, one of the Elder statesmen
of japan and former Minister of Finance Mr..
Parsons had opportunities to learn much or the
internal conditions of Japan. and he said yester-
day that before he left Toxic he was told by
we'll informed japanese that the terms of the
treaty of peace with Russia probably would ex-
cite trouble in Japan.
''Thev asked me-" Mr. Parsons said, whether
Japan's demands were fair. and said thought
Americans would think so. but it did not seem
to me that they could expect Russia TO pay an
Indemnity for there was no precedent for an in
demnity under the circumstances.
Japan has stood the war we'll thus far, but
thouehtful Japanese realize that by stopping her
extraordinary expense she will be able to
progress materially-so much that peace at this
time will be more to her benefit considering the
many things she does get. than peace later on
might be- even though, after more fighting and
further expense, she could get still more then.
