Communication.

Editor Leader: Postmaster General
Cortelyou is reformer with big K.
He does not believe that office holding
and partisan political activity should
go hand in nand. He would have
them divorced from each other; at
least, he says SO, which reads very
we'll on paper and in his official pro-
CARNATIONS. 1t does not harmoniZe,
however, with the fact that he is
chairman of the republican national
committee while at the same time,
interdicting the holding of any posi-
ton on political committees by post
master. Here is a fat contradiction
between theory and practice. In this
connection /. submit the following copy
have been permitted to make of
letter received from the postoffice
department. which is pertinent to the
point at issue:
Washington, September IL, 1906.
Sir: In reply to your letter of the
5th instant, you are informed that
this department cannot consent to a
postmaster serving as an officer of
any political committee.
Very respectfully,
C.. P. Grandfeld.
Acting First Asst. P. M. G.
To be consistent, Mr.. Cortelycu
should either resign his Craftsmanship
or abrogate his rule in regard to post
master. So long as the ru lie stands,
however, it should be enforced as an
evidence that the cry of reform IN
political methods by the present ad-
ministration is something besides a
sham, A Reader.

Jones claims that in 1903 he and Patrick,

Spending 500, 900 to Call the

The spending of 500, 900 is an interest
for what aims, but when it is devoted in
an almost philanthropic wmay to the
enlightenment of those who seek better
health. or new pleasure, or perfect rest.
it is indeed worthy of remark.
The Sunset Magazine. that marvellous

house of Philadelphia, to spend 500. 600 in
telling the people of the wonoers of that

line and Shasta route of the Southern

To convey this message in such a
graphic manner that everyone every

of the amazing things to be fund in this
land of perennial sunshine, required all
the resources even of N. w. Aver q

THE CASE OF STTKA AND GOV,
 HOGGATT

There is nothing strange about the fact that the people of Sitka gave Gov Hoggatt a royal welcome on the oc- casion of his recent visit to that place. The citizens of Sitks, like those else where in Alaska, are broad minded Americans and Mir. Hoggatt Is their governor, and we al believe that he will make very worthy one. The only bone of contention between the people of Sitks and Gov. Hoggatt is in relation to the latter's intention to remove the capital to Juneau, and the difference in the attitude on that point is one that is creditable to both sides to the controversy.
 Of course the people of sitka desire to retain the capital of the district That Is natural and a manifestation Of decent local pride. But they can read ily understand why Gov. Hoggatt should decide, as he has decided, to re- move it to Juneau. Congress has voted for removal oncs, and there can be no questioning the fact that the majority of the people of Alaska regard Juneau as the most suitable place for the capi- tai at the present time, at least.
 Sitks is fighting for herself ln a li- gitimate manner and on 8 legitimate battlefield when contending for the retention of the capital, while Gov. Hoggatt, in removing it to Juneau IS making effective law of congress and complying with the wishes of a major ity Of the people whom he serves They understand each other, perfectly and have no quarrel.

LET US HAVE CANDOR

Some of the other candidates for del egate to congress from Alaska could take lessons from A. F. Wildt, of Skag- way, and improve their positions be- fore the people he district by so doing. When Mir. Wildt an- nouuced his candidacy for delegate he accompanied the announcement with his platform. That was honest-it was a display of that kind of honesty that the people should demand tone that they will unquestionsbly demand II they are wise) from the man for whom they will vote. WE DO NOT WANT A REPRESENTATIVE AT WASH TON WHO IS WILLING TO BE A CANDIDATE FOR DELEGATE ON ANY PLATFORM HIS PARTY OR FRIENDS MIGHT SEE FIT TO
 
 MAKE FOR HIM. WE WANT A MAN OF CONVICTIONS AND WITH THE COURAGE TO DO BATTLE FOR THEM. This is not a propitious age for practical polttitics, or for obsequious politicians, whose chief interest in politics is desire to enjoy the powers and emoluments of a responsible and lucrative office; and above all countries Alaska is not place for such to thrive in.
 The longer 8 candidate for delegate to congress delays telling the people what will be his position on the PARA MOUNT ISSUE BEFORE THE ALASKAN PEOPLE, WHICH EVERYBODY KNOWS TO BE THE QUESTION OF REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT, the greater will his candidacy be laden with suspicion.
 LET US HAVE SOME ROOSE' TELTAN CANDOR. LET THE CAN DIDATES FOR CONGRESS TAKE PEOPLE INTO THEIR CONFI DEVICES. LET US DEMAND THAT MUCH IT IS OUR RIGHT.
