ALASKA SEEKING AID.

With Square Deal clubs organic
ed in Seattle and Portland for the
express purpose of aiding Alaska in
securing some very necessary con
gressional action in its favor, and
the Fairbanks Commercial club send
ing out thousands of circulars to
newspaper in the United States, set
ting forth the urgent needs OF appro-
priations for more and better roads
in the northern territory, Alaska at
the coming session of congress should
be able to secure some of its needs
and wants.
During the furOre over the Alaskan
coal fields. the Guggenheims and the
railroad construction there, the fact
that Alaska needs roads and trails
has been overlooked. Railroad con-
struction in the North will open
the coal fields and some of the iarg
err quartz and copper mines, but the
vast placer country and the hundreds
of small camps in the North are
practically isolated because of lack
of good roads and trails. Congress
has never been overwilling to spend
any money in the construction Of
roads in the North In fact, it has
been one hard fight from the very
beginning to have Alaska given any
recognition along these lines.
The country needs at this time
roads. 1t needs them more than
it does railroads. What is demanded
today is greater road appropriations,
mole and better facilities for getting
mail service through and less agita-
ton over the coal fields and SOCIAL
ed attempt of monopolies to control
the territory.
Tacoma has always been very
friendly toward Alaska and could do
nothing which will tend more to cement
the friendship of the territory with
this city than to get in behind this
demand for more road building and
help get the asked for appropriation.
Under the present chaotic cOndl-
ton of national politics and the
place that Alaska occupies in treating
this condition, anything asked fer
by the congressional delegation from
the territory is certain to cause an
uproar in congress this winter. The

NELSON v. ALDRICH

Leader Of Senate Floor and
Oldest Member Retires.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Sen-
ator Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode
Island announced today that he
will retire from the senate OF
the United States, and hereafter
will be known only as a private
citizen His positive declaration
that he will forsake public life
comes as great surprise to
his closest friends as it was
thought that he was a fixture
in the upper house OF congress
until death should call him away.
Time after time the rumor has
been circulated that the veteran
would retire but equally as often
have the stories been put to rest
by the quieting statements that
he was permanency in the

to the lower house of congress
and on October }, 1881, he was
elected to the senate to fill a
vacancy. where he has remained
ever since, being reelected four
times. Mr.. Aldrich was one of the

ed on the authorities at Washington.
The Citizen has on several occa-
sions taken up ills matter but has
not done so since the organization
of the Commercial club; and it
hopes. now that that body has
come into existence, there will be
some effective action taken.
At present. as We have before
pointed out. the United States mar
shals in the territory are improperly
so called. for they are nothing more
nor less than process servers. No
matter how much crime is preva-
lent in the district they cannot be
blamed. for they can always say
there is no fund provided for its
prevention Only by he grace of the
law-abiding nature of Alaskans does
the scarcity of crime throughout
the country exist.
The Times says that "one single
marshal with authority to investi
gate such cases at once, wherever
they occur. and with a moderate
fund at his disposal would suffice
to attend to all this kind of work
in the Tanana valley" The sugges-
ten is shortsighted one. and in
our opinion. not calculated TO af
ferd much relief. Suppose. for in
stance, this particular deputy should
be down at Fort Gihbon investigat-
ing case and an epidemic of
crime broke out in the SalChaket
country. The marshals here would
be helpless. for their hands. by the
creation of this special fund. would
be tied to an even greater extent
than before.
There is only one way to over
come the difficulty, as the Citizen
has before pointed out, and that is
by the marshal being granted per-
mission to eXpend such amount of
money as he shall. in his dscl elton
consider necessary for the protee-
ton of life and property, when en-
ergencies arise. This would cut out
the waste of time occasioned by the
present necessity of having to com
municate with Washington and
would permit Ct the marshal au-
thorizing the appointment of spec
ial deputies at any time and place
necessary. With such power vested
in him the marshal would stand re
sponsible for the orderiness OF his
district, as do police officers the
world over, for then the excuse that
there is no fund available" could
rot be used.
A constable in the Canadian
mounted police force in charge of a
remote detachment Is of more ser
vice TO his community than IS a
United States marshal in Alaska. as
matters stand now, for the constable,

of expense, while the marshal has
to conduct lengthy correspondence
with Washington before he can act.
But if the marshal had the same
right as the constable, that is, if
he were allowed to spend what

undoubtedly do as good work as is
done by the Canadian force
