CRITICISED DEMOCRATS

The charge is made that certain Democrats who formerly supported Wickersham in his efforts to SC cure Alaska Legislature have gone over to "the enemy" and they are severely criticised for 1t.
 These Democrats aided Wickersham in securing his first step toward seltgovernment" They were prepared to aid him to secure the second and third steps. But notwithstanding that he was invited by the President to take the next step he not only re- fused do so but criticised the President for extend ing him the invitation.
 The Democrats who aided wickersham before be. cause he favored the first step toward setgoyernment are still for seltgoyernment Wickersham was left at the end of the first step.
 lf some Of those who opposed the taking of the first step have accepted the inevitable and are willing keep step with the progressive Democrats who refused stop the fight for sefgovernment when wickersham stopped the progressive Democrats are willing 70 have their aid.
 The progressive Democrats stand for principles rather than men. They desire to utilize all in Alaska that stands fairly and squarely for sefgovenment and progress as long as it stands They are not hero worshipers on the one hand nor ble-aden vengeance seekers on the other hand. They are marching for ward-always forward-and they are glad when joined by those who may have formerly hampered rather than aided their progress They will refuse any man the right to stand up for Alaska. They are not blind bigoed Bourbons. They would be glad to have wickersham join them in their fight for selfgovern ment notwithstanding his many wanton betrayals of the cause-howbeit they will again cease to watch him.

II the money that is sent Of Juneau to mail order houses and to outside manufacturing concerns were spent at home it would have wonderful effect trade here The merchats and others would carry larger stocks ot goods. give employment to more men and create a greater volume Of business all round.
 And the local dealers are entitled to this sort Of treatment They have payrolls that help to give us population They pay taxes that help to run our municipalities give us and the other municipal institutions They help to support schools our churches fraterna societies for needy and everything that makes the communities worth living in. Give them the support they entitled to-and that is every possible dollars worth-and they will be able to give better eervice than they are now giving.

THE PRESIDENT AND wIcKs FISH

wickersham says the President has taken no ac ton on Alaska fisheries questions notwithstanding that "I-ME.-wCKERSHANI WROTE HIM A LETTER" Probably the President never the letter. Probably it was sent to the proper Department by the Pres- dents Secretary At least that where the subject matter of the letter discussed the dislike Of wickersham. And what did wickersham do then? Did he call the President and ask for interview No He did not care tinker's boot about what the Presidents attitude might be- He had copy Of that letter. and he was only trying to make up record for another campaign anyhow. He was not after re- suits. He was after something that would make a noise like campaign thunder

FOR BETTER OR WORSE
lFalrbanks News.MInerl

Whether or not road building in Alaska will be hastened through the passage of Delegate Wicker sham's antiroad commission bill. now pending before Congress- is a question which should receive the ser ious consideration Of Norherners whose future pros perlty depends largely upon the rapid improvement and extension of elaborate system of wagon roads with which we have been provided by Colonel Rich ardson and his colleagues of the Alaska Road Commis' sion.
 The bill introduced by the Delegate empowers the Territorial Legislature to alter, amend modify or repea the act Of Congress relating to the construc- ton and maintenance of wagon roads and trails in Alaska and. if passed might be used by the Terri. torial lawmakers to put end to the commission or which Colonel Richardson Is the moving spirit
 
 Knowing the hostile attitude of Delegate Wicker sham toward the head of the road commission, we are inclined to regard the pending measure with sus- picion. 1T approved by Congress t will prove dan gerous weapon in the hands of partisan legislators.

 It is fortunate thing that those Fairbanksans put gag Delegate Wickersham before he worked further damage to interior trail appropriation Had he been permitted to have his way he would tear up the road and destroy all communication between the two towns to ayenge his fancIed grievance against the Road Commission This is Alaskan body that our Delegate has been forced to let alone; and the fact has galled him until he has become batty over it.
