rHE INTERFER ENcE OF MAJOR
 RICHARDSON

Yesterday for the second time Del esate wIckersham formally requested Secretary of War Dickinson to order Major W. p. Richardson. chairman of the Alaska Road Commission, to de slst from lobbying in the halls of con, grcss in matters pertaining to legisla, uon for Alaska. Mir. wickersham is we'll within his rights in making this request and be has the support of the yas, majority of NasEaus who are cognizant of the facts of the case.
 Major Richardson undoubtedly has the right to appear before Congress to testify and seek appropriations for in Alaska. That is his own sphere al- though he spends an unusually large proportion of time in Washington in the osteusible performance of his duty. But there can be no argument sustaining Major Richardson in his interference in Alaskan legislation other than concerns his road work. He is not the accredited representa- tive Of Alaska, neither has he civil authority which gives him the right to advise as to what action Congress shall take concerning Alaska. When he over steps the strict confines of his departmental duties he is interter- ing with what is not his concern and loyal Alaskaus cannot regard his in- reference as otherwise than officious and meddlesome. We have not reach ed a view point which comedies army officers the last word on purely civil legislation and Major Richardson is obviously attempting to thwart Wick ersham in his praiseworJhy efforts to defeat he Beveridgc bill. the meas urs SO abhorrent to the great bulk of the people of the Northland.
 Major Rlchadson's motives in this case stand plainly revealed. The very  wording of the original Beveridge bill shows that he is attempting to Iegis- late himself into office as commis- ssoper of mines or the interior on the Alaskan council. while still retaining the chairmanship of the road com mission. Richardson is warm per sonal friend of Tai, and doubtless the President has pledged Richardson the appointment and doubtless. too, the President has received many of his ideas of how to govern Alaska from the military road builder
 wTckersham has twice plainly charged Richardson of being a Gug- genheim agent and has given his req sons for so believing. This may or may not be so. But it is perfectly evident that wiIds p. Richardson. an officer of the United States army. is trying to pluck for himself a juicy ap- pOintlye plum and that he is exerting himself to his utmost to toist upon AL aska a plan Of government, not only repugnaut to all right thinking peo- ple. but essentially autocratic and un- American in it's scope
 We have. perhaps. no right to judge ez parte the motives of Major Richardson: but We venture to say in closing that if he is a man of hon or and sensibmty he will find that the Presidents appoiutive power can not elevate him to any office SO high as to compensate for the loss of pop ularity and prestige among the peo- pie Of Alaska which must inevitably result from his interference in our affairs.
