 and file charges against him. they discover that they have aroused some prejudice, and they renew and sup |plement these charges from other 1 quarters, until. finally, the Depart meut of Justice Is convinced by this secret method that the official is 1 guilty of some wrong-doing and ought to be removed The charges may be ridiculous and the evidence false. but the whole thing is main tained in the secret file until there is such an array as to prejudice the 1 department against the official who is. in the meantime, performing his duty in Alaska without any knowl- edge of the conspiracy to effect his ruin between his enemies and the Department of Justice.
 You may ask, Why does not the accused official explain the charges against him? The answer is very simple. The charges are made in secret and the accused official does not know of their existence until he. has been removed. He then comes forward. like Mir. Sutherland and NIr. Boyce did. and demands a hearing, only to be told by the Senate sub committee: "Wby, we can't hear you; you must talk to the Presi- dent" The President declines to hear them because it is a reflection upon his fairness in removing them without notice, so they get no satis- faction. In a dozen cases of this kind honest, competent officials in Alaska were removed without notice. or hearing. upon the active effort of men whom they have been com peIled to prosecute by their oath of office.
 "In 1900 Judge Moves was appoint ed judge through the influence of a powerful lobby and sent to Nome. AZ aska. with a deliberate and premedi- ated purpose Of robbing certain class of miners there of their claims. tSee 1O6 Fed. 775; lG9 Fed. g7l It is believed in Alaska that a deliber- ate attempt Is now being made by the attorneys and lobbyists of the Guggenheims to get control Of the public offices in Alaska for an equal ly nefarious purpose-that of secur- ing a monopoly of mining, transpor- tation and other interests in Alas ka. and of protecting the Guggen- helms against charges that are be- ing made against them of corrupting the ballot box. corrupting the grand jury. bribing a deputy district attor- ney. and corruptly bribing and con trolling witnesses and jurors in the Hasey case.
 You may say in answer to this rather lengthy statement; What do you suggest?
 This: That the Department of Justice know. before it appoints man to office in Alaska, that his ap- pointment is not being secured for the purpose of shielding some per jurer from prosecution for the pur- pose of serving any other master but the United states. Second: That the Department of Justice pro tect it's officials in the performance

of their duty. instead Of being a party to conspiracy to punish them for acting bravely and indepen- dently Somebody ought to be re- sponsible for appointments ln Alas ka to the extent that an accusation against an official ought not io be
 acted upon until after notice to him, and an opportunity to defend No petty criminal. not even a tramp. can be found guilty and fined Si

 WELL PLEASED

While debating the tourist business of the past two months. H. D. Kirmse who is probably In better position to judge than any of the business men of slJagway. expressed his views of the matter in the presence of a representative of the Daily Alaskan as folIows:-
 'It is largely up to the merchant whether he will have a good season or not. The past season with me has been one of the best ever had, and attribute 1t to the fact that have had the goods, for all tourists must be from Missouri and they must be shown, SO I have been able to show them.
 "I have made a study of the tourist trade. and in my selection Of goods for this summers business, I used the utmost care and thought Not alone in the nugget iewelry line, but in the other lines of curios which I have had on display have I lost sight of the fact that what the visitors wanted was something typical Of AZ aska and the Northland. and some thing different" That was right when I made my stock of nugget jew eIry and souvenir goods is evidenced each time a party of 'cheechacos' en- ter my store. All are loud in their praise and express their surprise at such a store and stock being in skag. way.
 "Yes. this is one of the most sue cessfuI seasons I have ever had, and I attribute it all to the appropriate ness of my stock"

Miss Marian J. O'Shea Is In charge
of the party, her companions being

Irish Americans may be stimulated to
