MIGHT HAVE DONE WORSE.

So according to a dispatch from Anchorage yesterday, the pioneers of that precinct put themselves on record as favoring the re-appoint- about this matter, they might have done worse, particularly if they considered the time and reas on when the opposition started.
 Nobody will question the assertion that the real fight against him was started after he had given the certificate of election to Wickersham. From that We must infer that the fight sprung up from the governors action in the matter.
 Now granted that he made mistake and should have declared Suzer elected; it consti- tutes no sufficient reason for the Democratic ma chine to turn against him with all the element of vengeance it is capable of anymore than those who believe he was right should turn against the court for having differed. It was a mere matter of opinion with him. He didn't believe the law should be so construed as to deprive voter of his vote. He knew that the defeated, if aggriev- ed had a recourse and if he felt the sense of duty to declare Wick elected he did what his con- science dictated. which is all that one can do. Darn the law that will not permit the consdera- tion of mitigating circumstances. Anyhow. most of Us are prone to see law enforced when 1t is the other fellows ox that is to be oored.
 Personally we believe that Sulzer was elect ed and hadn't the court so declared we would have contributed our share towards securing justice; but not by way of revenge. The claim that Governor Strong has favored Republicans, therefore he is Republican, is all slush He may be ffty-fifty but no more.

 When German has been in this country number of years and has failed to take out hls citizenship papers, it looks as if he thought more of Germany than of the United States In that case. he should be interned and compelled to work. We shall have to come to that; so why not now?
 It is all wrong to send the very cream of our young men to Europe to fight Germany, at the same time allow Germans in the United States to do as theyplease. If they are not in sympathy with the kaiser and his gang of butch CTS they. should be willing to do something for the country where they intend to make their home The least they can do is to go into an internment camp and make themselves useful to Uncle Sam.
