WILL SUPPORT DELEGATE.

The long article appearing in Tuesdays News-Miuer. signed Alas kan" objecting to our editorial of last week on the Power of Attor- ney." was prefaced with some slur- ring references 10 the delegate, and what the writer, whom We have as sumed to be Abe Spring, is pleased to refer to as his weekly Demo cratic supporter"
 While attacks from such a source hardly justify reply this one has served the purpose of affording an opportunity 10 define unqualitiedly the stand that The Alaska Citizen purposes to take in regard to poli- tics. This paper has been since it's inception, and will continue to be, Democratic. But its management declines. and will continue to de cline. 10 become identified with that clique of politicians CD who. fail ing to trace a distinction between Ji4lit9 VI " htl Slltlih. NttIlAIttlA' lOI election. and James Wickersham, Delegate from Alaska. persist in their opposition to the duly elected representative of the people Two years hence the Citizen will do it's best 10 elect a Democrat to the posi- tion now occupied by James Wick ersham; as it would have done last month had Democrat been in the field. And two years hence. as it is now, il will be prepared to do all it can to help the delegate at Washington, so long as he is the duly elected representative of the people of Alaska. whatever may be his name or his political complex ion. It is in this way only that the interests of Alaska can be served and the suspicion eradcated that nought but dissension exists here
 The Citizen, in common with clean thinking Alaskans. believes that no good can come of the ef, forts of few disgruntled politicians to retard the work of the Delegate before the committees in the hope that they can say when he returns that he has been unable to accom-. pl'sh anything. On the other hand it is willing to fall into line with the majority of the people of Alas. ka who elected their representative and do all in it's power to help him help Alaska. until such time as his term of office shall have expired Reserying, always, the right to criti- else frankly and honestly when ever such a course shall, in it's judgment, be necessary.

NEED NOT HAVE LEFT ALASKA.

The Seattle Times prints letter purporting to come from an Alaska miner in search of a wife, whose principal qualifications seem to be that she must be poor. Following is the letter:
 Dear Sir - I just got back from Alaska. Bin gone 13 years. l wint up with $175. Come back with over 90 thousand dolers and still halve the claim left l went to see the pub lie market It brought tears to my eyes to see so much good things to eat, after eating beens three times day for 13 year
 Now, what l want is wife My folks died while I was 9 years old Bin alone ever since. l am 32 years old Don't drink ore use tobaco. I go to church to hear the music and look at the pretty girls. 1 don't think there is any other man that went through the hardship than me in Alaska. I was lost at the head of the Chandlar river for 3 months in the dead of winter. My ? steel traps and rabit snairs helped me to catch rabits.
 Now I would like to heare from some girl that is having hard struggle to share my money with me. No rich girl need apply. The pore girl must have proof that she is pore. Excuse pore spelling and writing as I have not riten letter fore 15 years. Don't publish this let ter if you don't see fit If I get the right kind of girl through your paper, l will give you all the gold dust you can hold in your 3 hands and free trip to my claim in Alas ka. Yours truly,
 ALASKA MINER"

ALASKA MARSHALS.

The many robberies which have occurred on the creeks of late en- phasiZe the necessity for the mar shals office being vested with larg- CT scope of authority if crime Is to be curbed here as in other parts of the United States. As the matter purely and simply a process-server, and the territory lying outside of the city limits is absolutely without police protection.
 This condition could easily be
 mended if the United States mar shal were vested with power to use his discretion in the expenditure of
 money for the protection of life and property without going through the red tape process with which the office is now encumbered The care ful selection which should be exer- cised by the administration in the appointment of marshals should be guarantee sufficient that this priv ilege would not be abused.
 In the Canadian Northwest ter ritories the mounted police have
 for the past thirty-fve years main tained prestige as maintainers of law and order all over the world
 This has not been for the reason that the men were as rule more carefully selected than United States deputies, nor that they are better trained. It has simply arisen from
 the fact that when an infraction of the law has been reported. either to
 the commission of the force at the headquarters at Regina, or to the constable stationed alone on a de- tachment fifty miles from the next nearest post, it has been in the
 power of the officer to at once take
 the Sttps he thinks necessary for the arrest of the offender. He is empowered to act on his own mi
 tiative, regardless of the size of the voucher it will be necessary to send to headquarters when his duty shall have been performed. Instead of having to wire Washington an esti- mate of the cost of making an arrest and awaiting reply he is allowed
 to go ahead at any old price to maintain the law. Thus, having a start of several days over his Amer ican prototype. it is not to be won- dered at that his record appears a little better.
 Let the Alaska marshals be em- powered to use their own judgment in the spending of money for the maintenance of law, with the cer tainty that their vouchers will not be held up at Washington, and it will not be long before the territory will be as well policed as is that ruled over by the mounted police.

LIMITATION OF SHAKING.

Under the caption of Limitation as to Stalking is Needed" in the NewS-Miner of Tuesday last there appeared, from the pen of Abe Spring, we have good reason to be- heve, though written under the nom de plume Alaskan an attempt to justify the stand taken by the de partment of the interior in it's oppo- sition to the abolition of the power Of attorney and the association claim.
 As almost a week has passed since the article in question appeared, that part of it which is pertinent to the argument is reproduced. It follows:
 The bill to abolish power of at torney and the aSsOClatiCn claim was before the House comnit(ea on ter ritories Judge Pierce, representing the Department of the Interior was before the committee, at that com mittee's request. They asked him for his advice and opinion as to the wisdom of abolishing the power of attorney, etc. He stated that to the best of his judgment and knowledge he could see that the bill as pro- posed, if enacted into law, could do Alaska a whole lot of harm and mischief, but no possible good He pointed out that were the bill passed the evil complained of would not be removed, for the simple reason, that under remaining statute, one man still could, if he chose to, stake as many claims on every creek as he would care to own, and consequently all the contemplated law would ac- complish would be that the stalker would have to drive more stakes than he has to do now under the association claim law.
 The question of representation work was then taken up, and exten- sively discussed, all agreed that $500 worth of representation work ought to be required on every association claim. The committee as whole said to the delegate that if he would

 And 10 aid the weak-hearted in keeping up their nerve wherewith to face the fine winter We are going 10 have We would suggest few "don'ts' to be posted in a prominent place and kept in sight Here are some of them:
 Don't forget that experienced hard rock men have stated this is the most highly mineralzed zone they have ever seen.
 Don't forget that about ten quartz properties have been developed to the point which has practically as sured their becoming mines.
 Don't fail to remember that as soon as the snow has made trail for the hauling of wood and ma chinery there will be at least six steam plants working, at consider able depth. on what were surface prospects year ago.
 Don't forget that a couple of as savers have just bought a big in terest in a property they have thoroughly investigated
 Don't fall for the talk of the croaker Tell him that experi- enCed quartz men have been putting their time. money and labor against this proposition for more than two years. and are staying with it. and that's good enough for you.
 Don't fail to take time to walk out to the creeks and look at some of the properties yourself.
 Don't forget that the little mill here has been grinding out more than $500 a day, and when the Cinema mill starts it will be kept humming all the time turning out five times as much. Don't forget that the railroad is coming nearer to us every day and there is likely to be spike driv- ing ceremony here in a couple of years

For those of us who are apt to son of the year, when the leaves be- gin to fall and the fall fades into winter, it is well that we should not get the habit of attributing too much good judgment to those who have squandered a bunch of their hard earned wealth for passage to the Outside They are going out to the land of floods, blizzards, heat prostrations, panics and high prices, while we remain in the land of promise Our placer mines are still here and many of them will be

viduals," Mir Wickersham said:
 T do not disagree with the gov, ernor about that at all, and yet I do not ask the committee to restrain the right of an individual location in my bill. l do ask that the power of attorney be abolished and that the association claim be abolished. But have not asked in the bill that the individual be limited in the number of claims that he may stake, while the governor thinks that that ought to be done.
 MT Cole-Is there any objection to that?
 MT Wickersham-Oh the objec. ton about it is that it is going to limit the matter too far if we are not careful. I do not want to place so many limitations, MT Cole. upon the miner in Alaska that he cannot get sufficient land, for instance, for a dredge And 1 left that in there for that reason, so that an individual could go out and stake several claims, provided he would do the as sessment work upon each one of them, each 20 acres. But I have stricken out the association claim and power of attorney because through them enormous bodies of land are reserved from the working miner. Generally, believe in everything the governor says there. He has at tempted in the report of 1908, his last, to reach the very evil which MT
