ALASKA SYNDICATE'S NEW MAN

1t is concensus of opinion of the
Pacific Coast newspapers that the
Guggenheims will gain much and the
government lose correspondence by
the resignation of William Loeb of
the position of collector of the port
of New York, and his acceptance OF
his new position.
The record of Mr.. Loeb was at least
the most sensationally successful of
any official in the history of the
United States customs service Prior
to his campaign against the short
weighers, smugglers and crooks, it
was known for many years that the
government was suffering from many
swindles but it had been impossible
to check the frauds. The Office of
collector of the port of New York had
been held by some very strong men,
but all of them had singally failed
where Loeb succeeded.
The discoveries made by Loeb, and
his administration of the Office, has
resulted in the conviction of many
big swindlers and the recovery of
large sums due the government. The
government could we'll afford to re-
tain him in it's service at twice the
salary, and the fact that political
necessity would force the new presi-
dent, following his Inauguration, to
make a change in the Office under
what is left in the spoils system, is a
severe reflection on American met
hods.-Juneau Dispatch.

procedure in such cases. Evidently
it was lost sight of either accidental
ly, or by design.
There should be no legitimate rea-
son why such bill should not be
passed. 1t would involve no appro-
|priation by the Congress, and the
humane treatment of helpless people
in Alaska ought to appeal to the ma
|tional lawmakers. For years this
writer has urged that such law be
ENACTED as a tardy recognition of the
treatment due to those men of Alas
ka who have become incapaciated,
through accident or sickness, and are
placed in destitute circumstances.
1t is scarcely likely that the Con-
gress will find the necessary time to
attend to matter like this. Para
|phrasing the Russian saying, Alas
kanskans may exclaim, God is afar
off, and it's long way to Washing
ton. Elk.

CABINET QUALIFICATIONS

Mr.. Bryan is undoubtedly right in
declaring that the future, not the
past, should be considered in the sell
ection of Cabinet officers, that the
qualification should be not political
service rendered, but the ability to
render public service in the position
to which the nominee is called.
Most decidedly the Cabinet should
not be used to pay political debts,
and this declaration from the man to
whom Mr.. Wilson is usually consi l.
cred to be most deeply indebted po j.
tically throws at least that much sight
on the Cabinet situation by publicly
absolving the President-elect from
implied obligation to name Mr.
Bryan as return for his services at
Baltimore. But it by no means dis
poses of Mr.. Bryan as a Cabinet pos
sibility. 1t leaves open to Mr.. Will
son the opportunity to name Mr..
Bryan, not for the past, but for the
future; not for what he has done,
but for what he might yet do, how
ever difficult it may be to convince
everyone of it should that selection
be made.
Which, after all, reuuces the Com
moner's declaration to a mere abb
straction For, no matter which of
the many mentioned as Cabinet posi-
bilities are named, it will be newt
able that there will be the same dis
agreement according to bias as to
whether they are selected for political

THE RELIEF OF DESTITUTION.

Governor Clark recently in an in
terview published in this newspaper,
illuminated the question of relief of
restitution in Alaska He pointed
out the fact that the white persons
who become objects of charity in
Alaska are comparatively few and
usually these cases are the result of
physical accidents. Such relief as
has been furnished has been done by
the chritably disposed people of the
Territory, who, let it be said, have
never been appealed to in vain, in any
section of Alaska, when help was
needed
The helpless sick and the MANNED
have been cared for in every instance,
as soon as it was known that they
were in need. The heart and the
hand of the Alaskan are never ar
peeled to in vain in cases of distress
ard suffering And while the relief
that has been thus furnished has
b%en freely giyon sometimes it has
worked hardshi, u"on me uncon-
planning givers.
A bill was passed by the United
States Senate in May, 1911, setting
for the relief of INDECENT white per-
sons. says Governor Clark. The
House radically amended it and pass
ed the bill. but there and then it
seems to have died. for it never
reached a conference committee.

, PURCHASE OF ALASKA

Professor Dunning, of Columbia
university, while examining papers
of President Andrew Jackson, STUN
bled upon the fact that Johnson's
first message to Congress was written
by Beorge Bancroft, the historian.
The professor made another surpris-
ing discovery in that mine seven
published for the first time in the cur
rent number of the Political Science
Quarterly. He found a memoran-
dunn in the handwriting of Johnson
giving a report of a verbal communi-
cation from William H. Seward,
secretary of state, to himself, ex-
planning how the appropriation of
S7,200,O00 was obtained to carry out
the terms of the treaty for the pur-
chase of Alaska from Russian in the
1865. The treaty was negotiated in
March, 1867, between Seward and the
Russian minister at Washington,
Baron Stoeckl. After it had been
ratified by the Senate, in June, that
year, there was a halt in proceedings,
owing to the quarrel between Con-
gress and the president on the re-
anv ,rSr nrt Nf h. 10
quarrel eliminated in the impeach-
ment of the president. Notwith-
standing the blind fury with which
the house of representatives pursued
Johnson, both before and after the
trial, the appropriation was favorably
reported by General N. P. Banks,
chairman of the committee on fore
ign affairs, and supported by Thad-
deus Stevens, chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means, and was
passed July IA, 1868, by vote of
113 to 43. The communication of
Seward to Johnson, as written down
by the latter, was that Baron Stoeckl
lpaid, out of the money so appropri-
ated, $4,000 to John w. Forney, ed
litor and proprietor of the Washington
Chronicle; $4,000 to General Banks,
and $4,000 to Thaddeus Stevens,
besides $4,000 to R. J. Walker and
F. P. Stanton, two Washington law
yers, who held no official position
then, although both had been gov
ernors of Kansas in President Buc-
hanan's time, and the former had
been secretary of treasury under
President Polk. No suspicion of
corruption of public officials attaches
to either of them.

WHY NOT LOOK AT ALASKA?

The ST. Louis Republic is full of
sympathy for the alleged wrongs suf-
fered by the people of the Philippine
islands under a system of local self
government, through which they
make their own laws, control their
own resources for their own uses.
and pay not dollar of tribute to the
United States in any form. Says the
Republic:
Here is the weakness Of the Re-
publican position on the Philippine
question: that it is anti-constitution-
al and un-American. The beneove-
lent-despotic theory of government
that a supreme ruling power knows
better than the people know what
they need and what they ought to
stand is the one thing that the
Revolutionary war was fought to
overthrow
The Philippines attract quite lot
of Democratic attention and sympa-
thy. Why not devote a little of these
to things nearer at home? Alaska,
for example, has had forty-odd years
Of despotic government imposed upon
1T from the outside. Its white Ameri-
can citizens are not only taxed for the
support of the federal government,
but Congress has imposed a special
system of taxation, local to them, un.
der which every occupation is taxed
heavily. Every natural resource of
the land, save gold and copper alone.
is tied up beyond the possibility OF
utilization. The supreme ruling
power at Washington has projected
uniformly on the theory that it Knows
what is better for the people of Alas
ka than thev do.
Going a little farther. We have
yet to see any criticism from the Re-
public or from any other Democratic
newspaper of an existing federal pcli-
cy under which one-third of the area
of this state of Washington and o.
other far Western states is TAX an OFT
from under the operation of the state
laws and it's utilization practically
prohibited. This is based sQuarely
upon the doctrine which the Republic
lrepudiates, that bureau officials at
Washington City know better than
the people (of the Western states)
what they need and what they ought
to stand" An application of this
theory is that the bureau officials at
Washington City should be empower
edto establish the terms and condi-
lions upon which water powers may
be developed in this state, and to
regulate the charges to be paid by the
people of this state for power from
any and all of it's streams.
The assertion that the federal gov
eminent actually exercises despotic
power over the Philippines is far
fetched. 1t does exercise such des-
potic power absolutely over Alaska,
and to a modified extent over a con-
siderable share of the far West, and
on matters of the most intimate and
vital concern to the people of those
states, and of no direct concern to
the people of those states, and of nc
direct concern to people in any other
part of the country.-Seattle Pr.
