Road Appropriation.
Fairbanks CitiZen.) H

Fairbanks CitZen.) 'E
 Again Delegate Sulzer has proven that he is aliv' needs of Alaska and responsive to these needs This is shown by the fact that he secured an amend the oney for Alaskan roads and tralls wa included in this measure and will not be wlthhel until the passage of the sundry civil bill.
 Originally the appropriation for our roaos an trails was Jumped in the latter measure. Reallzln the utmost importance of securing this money a early as practicable, the Delegate got the item Tn cluded in the army appropriation which passed th House of Representatives Friday.
 There attempt made to throw the lten o,u nor was there any point of order made agans the item as was against the $500,000 appropri ation while Wickersham was supposed to be repre- senting Alaska, and which did not seem importan enough Wickersham to say anything about unlf it had been announced by outsiders and he had pee fact but denied that he himself brought the poin of order
 If Delegate Sulzer has any personal fights whc' he is carrying on, he does it outside of his position e has shown that personal preJudlces are non existent in the performance of his duty. He Is II Washington as representative of the whole bod, of Alaskans and is doing his best to hll that re sponsibe position And his best is better than thos efforts which expended on Alaskan affairs befor e to Washington as Delegate
 While the appropriation passed by the Hous is smaller than the just previous, this is in II way fault of MT. Sulzer IS this is the amour asked for by General Richardson in his annual rec ommendaton. The Delegate is working now to ge the amount increased in the measure as it Will b passed by the Senate, and there is strong probabilit that he will be successful This method of handn the matter is quite different from the way 1t wa done last year. when it was necessary for towns a the Territory to ask outsiders to come to Alaska assistance that could get any money at al Nor has this been buried in the past so long as to b forgotten. Hardly anyone but who remembers vN idly the whole circumstance.

RIGHT IS WITH SULZER.

Whatever may be the decision of the Elections Committee of the House of Representatives, tho House itself, on the legal phases of the election contest between Delegate Sulzer and Judge Wicker sham the fact remains that from the standpoint of civic righteouness, right is the side of Dele gate Sulzer. Whether the Australian ballot law is mandatory directory, it stands, is question for lawyers and courts but that the law ought to be mandatory must be admitted by all. Even Gov. Strong said that the law ought be just what Judge Jennings held that it Otherwise the people o Alaska have absolutely of the protection against fraud against bribery and intimidation against all the other things that the Australian ballot in vented a safeguard.
 And, no American will question that, whether as a matter of law Judge Wickersham succeeded in writing organic act which denied the people o the Territory the power to amend their election laws, he says he tried to do not, the people of Alaska ought to have that power a matter of right. No Delegate to Congress should be permitted force the people of this Territory election law that lays the bars down for fraud and corrup tion without giving them power to amend it and to provide the safeguards that enlightened people have made for themselves elsewhere.
 And further yet, Delegate Sulzer received sub stantia majority of the votes of the workngmen in the mines the fisheries, the shops and the indus tries of the Territory, of the business and 'tht producers. Mir Sulzer had large plurality in tho Territory if we exclude the voters of the Indiai tribes of Westward where the could neither read nor write, where they lived in admitted triba relations, where the had their ballots fixed by Wickersham workers and admitted it. where many of the voters testified that they did not know for whom they had voted, where some of them could not be got to testify for whom they voted foi Attorney General or for members of the Legislature because there way an interpreter could ex plain to them what Attorney General or the Ter ritorIal Legislature

 SUFFERER.

If Delegate Suzer should lose his seat in Con gress the great sufferer will be the Territory Of Alaska. It will mean that the fine constructive leg islatve program that MT Sulzer has got fairly under way will be interrupted, and will not be pressed until the next Congress shall convene It will that for time shall be deprived Of the advantages of having the Governor and the Delegate working together in harmony for Alaskf team-and team of able vigorous and for ward looking young Alaskans such Alaska never had until this year 19iS

German-American Loyalty.

That American citizens of German blood should organize a great demonstration to attest theil loyalty to the United States calls for no extended explanations Among many others of alien or igin who have allegiance to this country, ii would be surprising if they had not caught the spirit of the times and did not welcome the oppor tuniy to manifest their devotion to the flag under whose protection they live.
