The Nenana news. (Nenana, Alaska) 1916-1918, 1917-03-10

President Wilson reflected the
sentiment of the country when he
declared, in his inaugural address,
that Senator LaFollette and his
small circle of followers in the
Senate had made a laughing stock
of the nation by their unpatriotic
actions during the final hours of
Congress. Filibuster, the news
papers call it, but stronger words
are necessary to describe such I'M
American conduct, which resulted,
in this particular instance, in block
ing measures of unusual import
ance to the nation, and necessitated
an extra session of Congress.
Extra sessions mean extra ex-
pense. They add to the burden
of those who support the country.
and usually they embarrass rather
than assist a president in exercis-
ing those powers which have been
invested in him by the people.
This is particularly true in the
case of President Wilson. who con-
vinced Americans long ago that he
is worthy of their trust, and who
has had majority of the members
of Congress behind him in all his
large undertakings. Had he shown
himself to be a man of inferior in
tellect, less a statesman, less an
American, the handful of Repub-
leans who we're led by Senator
LaFollette would have had support
for their claim that it was neces-
sary to have Congress in continu-
GUS session until the present ten
sion between the United States
and the Central Powers of Europe
is relieved. But they cannot con-
vince the people that their filibus-
ter was justified. They cannot
excuse themselves on the ground
that their continued presence in
Washington will assist the Presi-
dent in maintaining peace, or has
ten those preparations which the
President long ago decided are
necessary to the safety and pros
perity of the nation. They merely
constitute an obstacle in the way
of needed legislation, exposing the
nation to ridicule and contempt,
and adding greatly to the cost of
the legislative branch of the gov
eminent.
The pity of it is that a few men
The Nenana news. (Nenana, Alaska) 1916-1918, 1917-03-10

of the LaFollette type should be
able to block proceedings in Con-
sress at a time when quick action
is of the utmost importance to the
nation. With the President, the
people, and a majority of the men,
bers of Congress in accord it should
not be possible for dozen polite
ians to jeopardize the honor and
safety of the nation they have
pledged themselves to safeguard.
Inability of the members of the
Territorial senate to agree among
themselves as to who shall hold
the offices within the gift of that
body does not encourage conf
dence in the ability of our law
makers to perform their other
duties in a manner satisfactory to
those who elected them. That
has been the trouble with most of
the men we have sent to Juneau
to lay the foundation for a more
liberal form of territorial govern
ment. They have been taken up
too much with petty chickering's to
devote serious thought to the real
problems of the Territory. In
stead of trying to convince congress
and the administration that Alas
kans are prepared to assume the
responsibility of full territorial
management, our legislators have
conducted themselves IN a manner
indicating that we are not capable
of regulating our own affairs. The
sessions of our legislatures have
stopped over with turmoil. and so
many laws have been declared in
valid by the courts that small con-
fidence remains in legislation en-
acted within the territory. and
scenes such as have occurred at
Juneau during the past week place
our lawmakers in a decidedly I'M
favorable light, both at home and
at WASHINGTON.

While there is no evidence at
hand to prove that Delegate Wick
ersham was instrumental in hav-
ing that wagon road appropriation
stricken from the army bill in the
lower house of congress, it is sig
nificant that our representative in
Washington made no effort to have
the item restored when the matter
was being considered in the senate.
He did not consider the matter
sufficiently important. even, to
notify his constituents that the ap-
preparation was endangered, and
but for the interest of Outsiders,
Alaskans doubtless would not have
discovered their loss until too late
to seek remedial legislation.
