A GOOD FRIEND OF ALASKA

There seems to be general regret
among the friends of Alaska that
Representative William Sulzer is soon
to letve the halls of Congress. For
years he has been one of our most
loyal and steadfast friends. While
it will undoubtedly be gratifying to
him and his we'll -wishers to have
him preside over State of New York.
it will not be so we'll for Alaska.
In referring to his career recently
the Seattle Times paid him the fol-
lowing tribute:
Mr.. Sulzer was first chosen to Con-
gress from the old Tenth District of
New York City in 1895, and contin-
ued to represent that district and one
other up to the present time, or
period of seventeen years.
Mr.. Suffers Importance in Con-
gress when regarded from a Western
standpoint arose from his knowledge
of Alaska, which country he first
visited in 1895. but which he uni
formly visited every year thereafter
and will probably continue so to do
even though he be Govern,r of the
State of New York.
His particular stunt in Alaska is
the development of copper mine,
where he and his family have ex-
pended more than 100000, but have
received in return 100000 more
than the original investment-or
s1,1OO,OO0.
In 1900 Mr.. Sulzer helped to pass
the municipal government bill for
Alaska, which provided that one
half of the Federal license moneys
should be returned to incorporated
communities in which the business
were located.
The next year the scope of this
law was enlarged by the assistance of
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, so as
to return all of the federal collec-
tions to the municipalities
In 1905 Mr.. Sulzer fathered the
bill creating the Alaska Fund, which
was the taxes collected from incor-
porated communities by the govern
ment.
Under this measure money was re-
turned to the people of Alaska-25
per cent of which was to be eypend-
ed in the building of roads and IS
per cent for school purposes outside
of incorporated places.
About the same time Mr.. Sulzer
caused to be enacted the Alaska dele
gate bill-having the assistance of
Senator Nelson in the Upper House
of Congress-since which time Alas
ka has been represented in the Lower
House in accordance equally with
other territories.
Mr.. Sulzer, after years of effort
and in conjunction with the dele
gates elected from that Territory, Sc
cured the passage of the law at the
last session of Congress granting to
Alaska Territorial Government.
Mr.. Sulzer was also author of the
bill closing pelagic and other sealing
in Alaska, thereby preventing the
complete determination of the seal.
Finally, it will be fair to say that
Congressman Sulzer has been direct
ly responsible for the passage of
every piece of constructive legislation
that has been put upon the statue
books in behalf of Alaska since 1900.

The British Government has "ac-

to furnish 100000 vessel to the

accepted the nominations, they had
been hustling for.

Without desiring to disparge the
claims of the several candidates from
Alaska whose names have been men,
toned in connection with the appoint
ment of Governor, we thin that
there can be no question as to the
general sentiment that if man of
force. courage and character is to be
selected that Mr.. Joslin stands
shoulders above any others so far
mentioned. He is one of the most
substantial men of the territory. has
largely aided in it's development, and
is regarded as an authority on our
present attachments and future neces-
stiles and possibilities. If it is to
be "Alaskans for Alaska" during the
next administration, one of the wisest
appointments that could be made
would be that of Governor Joslin.
