WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER-
EST FROM THE CAPITOL

Much diversity of opinion is
heard in Washington or the ex-
pedients adopted by the Presi-
dent and his Secretary of the
Treasury to relieve the money
stringency, but in the main graft
ifcation and jubilation are the
prevailing sensations which find
expression over the course adopt
ed. 1t is claimed in administra-
tion circles that the.common sense
of the people all owe the country
will assert itself once more and
that secure in the Wedge of q
full Treasury, and appreciative
of the prosperity of the country as
q whole, with it's big crops, big
prices, and plenty of business
for the railroads and merchants,
panicky scnsationsH will trouble
as no more. sit is generally oon-
ceded, however on every hand
that the apparent necessity for
such expedient as hassbeen adopt
ed points, gin an unanswerable
way, to the grave defects of tn,
currency system, and the earnest
hopei s expressed on all sides that
the Presidents confidence is not
misplaceds in his belief that a
currency bill which will meet in
permanent fashion the needs of
the situation, will be passed at an
early date after conference con-
venes two weeks hence.

The keenest interest has been
excited in Washington over a re-
cent dispatch to the effect that
President Roosevelt has instruct
ed First Assistant Postmaster
General Frank H. Hitchcock not
TO permit any Federal officeholder
OF the Southern States to go to the
Republican national convention
next summer ssunder instructions
for, or otherwise favoring, the
nomination of the President for a
third term.
The truth of this dispatch can
not be either confirmed or denied
Al the White House, but it is con-
sidered by far the most important
and interesting piece of political
news in Republican, circles that
has developed for: many months.
1t ia claimed that kthe President
has issued no edict forbidding
minor officials of the government
from participating..in the oonven-
lions of their party but he insists
shat those who owe their positions
20 him are not to allow such per-
sonal allegiance to be turned into
. movement bearing the stamp of
. desire or demand to continue
his occupancy of the White House.
If this dispatch is correct, and by
many Of tho most knowing 1t is
shought to bear the ear-marks of
truth, that element of the anti
administration which has been
making SO much capital of the
President's alleged efforts to cap
ture the Southern Republican or
ganization.will not have a leg to
stand Or.

suance of his crusade against ille-

of the Postorfice Department, AS a
result of investigation, to insti-
tute criminal proceedings against
several of the persons, who are
responsible for these advertise
ments. This policy ON the part
of the government was adopted
several years ago and has been
followed in many Eastern cities.

The Alaska prospector., 1907-08-29

The considerable forms of recogni- tiou, which Alaska has desired from the law makers at Washington, has come very slowly in the past, but from now on IL would not be surprising if more attention is giveh to the District. The great demands, which are con stantly being increased along all the avenues of commercialism are bound to bring results There are many law
 which are desired, the lack of which is seriously retarding the commercia progress of the District. Lighthouse are needed, and needed badly. Tn, need of railroad transportation is be- ginning to be felt seriously to cope with the great amount of travel and freightage through the District, and there are many other incidental needs ot a great and growing country, which might be cited These are bound to come, and with the attention which Alaska is receiving on every hand, it things desired may come soon We are having the Japanese question in its various phases, which indirectly effect us, the demands of a fast growing merchant marine, the great mining in dustry, and the fact that thousands upon thousands of investors in the States are partial to the District through the investment source; the great and growing nhmber of those who are visiting the country in con. nection with it's growing commercial openings. combining with the tourist element, which is now coming to De such great factor, must being quick recognition, and the fact that Alaska is receiving such an immense amount of advertising in the papers and magi- zines throughout the country, will all call serious attention to the needs of the District, with the result, it is pe- ieved. that more will be accomplished along the various lines desired in the next two years than has been the case in the entire history of the District. Much more could be written on the subject, but only enough is said to to call to the attention of AIaskans that the District is on the map, and just now very much in evidence, and now, while the wheel of progress is revolving at fair speed, it behoves us to give it push every time an opportunity pre- sents itself. Individual effort may be quite small, but in the aggregate it amounts to mighty force If all in in the district will keep this in mind much can be accomplished.
