A WARNING TO ALASKA

The irghtful conditions at Seattle. where graft. bribery corruption and lawlessness of all sorts sung from the efforts of the authorities to enforce the prohibition law should be warning to the people Of Alaska
 This condition at Seattle-where it is admitted that vice nourshes throughout the city that intox eating liquors being sold Icitly everywhere that $5O6OO is being monthly contributed brbes tor pro. tecton where police officers parasites are equally involved in a carnival of corrupuon-is in country where the authorities have all the powers of State County and City governments behind them; govern. mens that od-established and in smooth working order with powers clearly defined
 In the light Of Seattle's experience under condl. tiouF there. what might we expect with prohibition in Alaska? No one has authority here to prevent crime. We have only power to punish eriminals-and then only after a grand jury has indicted. dry squad would be impossible in this Territory The Legsla- ture has Go prohibit the importation Of li- Quor There is great deal Of uncertainty as to whether or not it has power to prohibit its sale The people Of the Territory are struggling now over the forms and powers Of government. They are seeking Go secure the necessary authority Co govern them selves at all We have no jurisdiction over our schools outside of the municipalities. We have no power to raise the revenues that are necessary to conduct our municipal governments and municipal schools except under restrictions made by Congress- restrictions that would make our funds inadequate "A+Aou- -llc revenues rom tle llQuOF ncenSeS We have authority to create county governments with their police powers. We laboring with the very simplest problems of government. We are in the early childhood of governmental development. We have not got setgoyernment launched in the Terri tory.
 To inject the problem of prohibition with all that 1t involves. including invested money and property in terests, into such situation exists in Alaska at this time would be the height of folly It would be foolish to the point of criminality It would impair the chance Of any immediate settlement of the first steps in government.
 In Alaska it is not a question as to whether pro- hbition right or wrong We have not reached that point It is question of placing a task on govern mental machinery that is weak for to perform and having the liquor traffic running riot instead of being controlled Prohibition would be like turning reservoirs into pipes that are incapable of pressure lt would be a Johnstown flood

SEATTLE PRoFITs BY sHIP MERGER
lseattle Tlmesl

The merging of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com pany and the Pacific Alaska Navigation Company in teress under the name of the Pacific Steamship Com pany. will it is contdentialy expected, be of benefit to the great transportation corporation and also to the city of Seattle
 H. F. Alexander president of the new company lays especial upon the more efficient service that will be obtained under the new arrangement Duplicate sangs will be avoided and more frequent salings maintained the various routes, thus giving better and satisfactory service along the en- tire Coast with the number of vessels
 This arrangement appears to be emnenty prac- tcal Duplicate sailings do not bereht the public. but any improvement in service does. system which avoids the and the other is highly com mendabe for not only reduces the cost of operation for the steamship company but well. affords the travelling public and the shipper facilities that other wise would not be enjoyed.
 Extensions of steamship service are vital to Seat tle With the increasing business of Alaska, for in stance 1t is imperative that additional accommodate tions should be provided. Moreover, there is doubt that such improvements will be effected whenever cir cumstances operate to make the routes profitable typical illustration is afforded by the change in the Alaska run. Previous to the commence ment Of work the government railroad the ships on this route customarly terminated their voyages at Seward. Now the ships go to Anchorage and there by another important section of the Territory
 Anything that works for increased sea transpOr- ation service getween Seattle and all points the Pacific Coast Is certain benefit this port and to further it's interests the great commercial meeting point for commodities travelling north south for that manner, east and west well.

Delegate wickersham has conducted campaign throughout the Alaska coast in which he has sought to make the name Of the great leader of the Demo cratic party. the ehiefes among Aaskas benefactors
 the cruelty tried and thoroughly tested President of the United States. approbrious He has claim to support from Democrats. And for many years he has been abusing the Republican party. Less than two years ago he said in discussing his politics there is one thing l not l a Republican" At that time he said that he was Progressive Democrat"

THE RECORD. AT LEAST DOES NOT LIE

The Dispatch says that wickersham wrote the first bill creating Legislature for Alaska ever in- troduced in Congress by duly accredited Delegate from Alaska. The record proves that this statement is true. The first Territorial form of government bill introduced in Congress by duly accredited Delegate was written by William Sulzer and intro dueed December 3. 1907 Delegate wickersham wrote a commission bin with hybrid legislative assembly. the upper branch of which be composed wholly Of Federal officials which introduced by Dele gate Gale February 20. 1908
 The Dispatch forgets that there is a record kept at Washington Of the introduction Of bls the hear ings them and proceedings concerning them-and the record does not lie
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-10-12

Now that Delegate wickersham, who has carried yituperaton. abuse fabrication and calumny from section to section Of Alaska for eight long years has been forced the defensive by the production of his record, he and his friends begin whining about an abusive campaign against him. When the publication of an officials official record constitutes abuse 1t is time to set a new official That is the purpose of presenting tho record.
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-10-12

The record shows that the only Federal officials whose jobs were ever menaced in Alaska by Wicker sham were those who went to bed with him. Wick ersham has not been menace to anything in Alaska but progress and the regulations Of people upon whom he has heaped calumny and far as the latter are concerned, his calumny disappears with the light of truth.
