A SUSPICIOUS COMBINATION

A rumor is persistently going the rounds that there is a certain class of men through out Alaska that are trying to organize what Is called ''combination" to defeat our delegate to congress at the coming election. Presumably in appreciation ot hls work, The dog biting the hand that feeds him.
 What can that ''comblnatlOn '-or any body else for that matter have against Wickersham IS more than man with only an average intelligence can fathom. Even the men who have always opposed him freely concede that he has done remarkably we'll for Alaska Then why be grouchy? Surely it cannot be only party line that is objectionable, for why need we be so particular about party lines when we are not even allowed to govern ourselves?
 We Alaskans ought to be content to have the best man represent us ln congress be he Democrat, Republican, Progressive or anything else President Wilson has un- equivocally approved every action of the delegate. That IS, or should be, suthclent evidence that our representative IS satls- factory to the administration. When men ignore all these facts and connive to defeat such leaders as Wilson and Wickersham, their motive may well be questioned.
 There are men who are in politics for what there is in 1t and not for the good of the country They don't give whoop whether the country is developed or not so long as they hold offices, or the power to distribute them
 A glance over the situation leads us to believe that the so-called "combination' is comDoced of inst Sl,ch men as th at EOrtu- nately, the workingmen have been "wised up" to the game that only tried and true Democrat" IS eligible for the nomina ton of delegate to congress under this ad- ministration.

CLEAR CASE
 OF SUICIDE

A letter to Deputy United States Marshal Percy Charles from Harry Sheppard deputy marshal at Ophir, received last Wednesday, tells of the investigation made into the death of the man the finding of whose body was recently reported to the authorities, and who was supposed to have been the victim of foul play. Deputy Sheppard and Commissioner Ninal left Ophir on June 20, and at McGrath subpOenaed six men to accompany them and act as a coroners Jury, and proceeded to the place where the body was found-near slough of the Kus- kokWm just above the mouth of the Tokll- wiksak, about l50 miles from McGrath. A man named Becker who was the closest neighbOr of the dead man, and who dis covered the body and sent word by Indians to Commissioner Ed Stier several weeks ago, was taken along as witness. On arrival at the cabin the officials found the body of the dead man in sitting position on the floor He had taken his rife between his knees, made a couple of half bitches around the stock with rope, passed the rope through the trigger guard and around the back of the butt of the gun, placed the muzzle of the weapon in his mouth and pulled the rope. His mouth had been badly burned, and one side of his head was blown off. The evidence tended to show that the act was committed on the 7th or Sth of April last His stock of grub and furs was found intact.
 The evidence was conclusive that it was a case of suicide there being not the slight est grounds for suspicion of foul play and the jury found a verdict accordingly.
 Although no papers of any description were found by the officials, it was learned that the man was native of Sweden named John Parson Nothing whatever could be learned as to his antecedents
 The investigation by the commissioner and deputy marshal set at rest the rumors that have been in circulation of the finding of another body in the same region under circumstances indicating murder 2s it is evident that the rumors all related to the same case.

 It would be so easy to play politics with such situation. It would be so easy to lead the nation into war of aggression, even though, as the President says "a war of aggression is not war in which it is a proud thing to die" It would be so easy to play the demagogue and the blatherskite, so easy to inhame popular sentiment, so easy to create state of public opinion in which war would be inevitable War ad- minlstrations are rarely unpopular.

ALASKA WAS RESPONSIBLE
 FOR THE MONROE DOCTRINE

Congressman Albert c. Johnson of Wash ington, during speech in the house of representatives on January 28 last, on the Alaska railroad bill, delivered the following very interesting historical review:
 When in June, 1923, John Quincy Adams, secretary of state, informed Baron de Tuyll, the Russian minister at Washington, that the American continents Fare henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers and that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety" the Eastern states were notified that there was Pacific coast over which we must stand guard, and what was vaguely called the Oregon country" began to be an issue in American politics.
 The warning carried by Secretary Adams words in the summer of 1923 was directed primarily against Russia, as that country had taken possession of what was then known as Russian America, the Alaska of a later day, which we purchased from her in 1867, and she was extending her settlements southward along the Pacific coast This was the germ of the Monroe doctrine, as enunciated at greater length and more cir cumstantially in that Presidents message to congress half year later, but Secretary Adams was its real author, SO far as any one man deserved that name for the principle was proclaimed by Washington in his fare well address of 1796 and found expression in some of Jefferson's later state papers also
