THE NEW DELEGATE
lRnhY Record.Citizenl

(Ruby Record Ctizen)
 We hereby extend to Charles A. Suzer most sincere congratulations his election and hope that he will be permitted take his in Congress un- challenged.
 The election bitterly contended and the proceedings in the furnished plenty of good read ing matter to the public well little useful in structon
 of fair play after many other forms of experimenting in voting tried and rejected and it is matter for triumph to to realize that Judge Jennings has vindcated the intention of lawmakers by insisting upon secret balloting and official ballots.
 Many of the camps that submitted sample ballots to the canvassng board have absolutely for doing for they within few miles of rail road within telephonc distance of municipalities, and had they wished to follow the proper procedure, could easily have fulfilled the requirements. Perhaps it may be overreachng the mark is say that the appearance warrant suspicion that these places pre- ferred not to furnish their constituents with proper ballots for at variance with secret ballotng but if that be not the what is the such axty on the part of responsible officials?
 Of course, Suzer may not be able to accomplish much at this special session of Congress. Perhaps not, for present Washington is afire with more law than with whether Alaska has this that, the other necessity it requires.
 At any rate we know he will do the best he can under the circumstances At least, he has not yet aroused departmental anagonisms at the capital and may obtain more patient audience and willing cooperation than our former Delegate.

ALBERT JOHNSON AND WICK

 But whatever MT Johnson thinks that he thinks. Alaskans who know him understand that his state of mind is due his lack of information con cerning the Territory Mir.

 Notwithstanding MT. Olney's eminent services at Washington it is probable that his public usefulness in private life pronounced.

Always a Democrat in politics. he first of all a ar-seeing and devoted American, and recognized by party oppo- nents.

Olney witnessed and contri- bued the remarkable change of popular sentiment in regard that great President The second Cleve- land Administration did much to prepare the Republic for the issues, domestic and foreign, which front it, and contributed to these ends more than Richard Olney.

FIRST DIVISION HAS DEVELOPED HERSELF

The First Division of Alaska has developed her self, such she is, practically without help from the National government addition that she has con rbuted the other Alaskan Divisions. On the other hand there have been millions appropriated for wa gon the Federal treasury for the other Divisions and many millions for railroads That does that the other Divisions should be made to develop themselves as the First Division is doing. because Nature has done for the First than for the others But it does suggest that the First should be asked continue surrendering most the revenues from her resources to the re- nander of the Territory.

 Dan A. Sutherland, Territorial Senator from the Fourth Division of Alaska, has caused to be issued verbatim report of certain speech he delivered be- fore the Senate of the Alaska Legislative Assembly, recently in reply to certain statements published the Juneau Empire The report is captioned Judicial Raroading in Alaska" and deals, to deal, with judicial situation in the Fourth Division of Alaska growing out of the conviction of certain indv iduas charged with and other equally heinous crimes The Federal officials whom Dan Sutherland by implication at least charges with gross perversion of justice Federal Judge Bunne District Attorney Roth and United States Marshal Erwin, and their aides and assistants commonly termed the Federal ring of the Fourth Dvison'
 The Times has received copy of this speech, and if the charges therein contained have foundation in fact, approximate the truth there should be searching investigation the part of the United States Department of Justice, the end that this alleged Federal ring should be authority by summary dismissal from high office. And if, on the other hand, assuming that investigation shall be made and the charges fall flat, the who makes them should be called to account
