The appointment by President Wil- son of John F. Henson, of Douglas, to be postmaster of that city was an ex- celleut selection. Mr. Henson is a Western boy who has spent bis whole lifetime on the Pacific coast, and most of it In Alaska. He possesses all the required qualifications for a good of Rcisl. He has ability, industry and integrity. He is thr worthy son of worthy parents. In politics be is democrat and the member of a demo- cratic family. Those who have known him from his knickerbocker days know that he will make good as a servant of the people and of the administration Alaska Daily Empire.

The establishment of an Alaskan De- velopment Board is contemplated by the bill introduced on the 2nd inst. by Senator Chamberlain, in the senate of tbe United States. This board would consist of three members, who would reside in Alaska and have charge of all Che business interests of Che United States within Che Territory of Alaska, except the regulation and control of common carriers. According to the provisions of the bill, the members of Che board shall not engage in any other business or vocation, and the chairman shall receive a salary of $500, and the other two s8,OOO each. Nothing in the act shall be construed as in any way granting Go the board any authority, control or jurisdiction over the political or other internal affairs of Che organ ized territory of Alaska. The bill was read twice and referred to the com mittee on territories.
Douglas Island news., 1914-02-18

Much talk in local papers about Indian citizenship has been brought about by the case of B. Smith, whose trial in the federal court at Juneau on the charge of selling liquor to Indians resulted in an acquittal. The defense admitted that Smith sold the liquor to one Tommy Wilson, an Indian, who ap- peared as chief witness, but contended that Tommy was a good Indian, had severed bis tribal relations aud could even dance the white mans dance with Che exception of Che tango. The jury turned Smith loose, and now it is claimed tha, Tommy Wilson's right to buy whiskey is established and there fore he is a citizen. It is not claimed that Tommy has the right to vote, serve as juryman or even pay taxes; only Go buy wbiskey. He is therefore what you might call a whiskey citizen of the United States. But even this is great triumph, both for the lawyers and Tommy. In fact, it Is seldom that the great desire of Alaska Indians for the rights and privileges of citizen. ship manitests itself in any particular except the desire to buy whiskey. At the same time they are persistent iu their demands for special rights and privileges as wards of the government.

Something has at last been accom- pHshed, says the Washington Star, or is very uear accomplishment, for Alaska The stepdaughter of the United States has gone without recognition for a long time-for SO long a time that the coun- try was beginning Go wonder why the government ever purchased tbe rich territory. Now, however, the senate has passed tbe bill directing tbe presi- dent to purchase or construct 1000 miles of railroad in Alaska at a cost not to exceed e4OOOOOOO The bill provides for redemption fund into which shall be paid 75 per cent. of all moneys derived from the sale of public lands in Alaska or of the coal or min- eral contents thereof. One swallow does not make a summer, nor will one railroad make Alaska. In fact the action of the senate tn passing tbe bill, while celebrated with tOrchlight pro- oessions in Seattle and in Alaska, is merely the first definite step toward the long desired end.
