Unwise Agitation.

Crazed with disappointment over his failure to be elected as Delegate from Alaska James W1cke1sham placed in motion those obstructive tactics for which he has become famous. Instead of doinb all in his power to further any project which will the population of the territory and make for it's betterment he has allowed his better judgment, be swayed by insane desire for revenge those whom believes responsible for his defeat The question whether Alaska needs the railroad constructed as quickly possible and that nothing should be done the hands of those responsible for it's construction does not seem to enter his calculations Backed by the BallaneHerron combination, he has started a fight which threatens undo all the great work Sec retary Lane has accomplished. Just why the con struction railroad in the Territory should be made
 matter of political activity is hard to see It would look if any party or person who would throw rll-
 of dollars into public service would De regarGed as beneficiary instead of an active enemy. ms opposition, which has met every endeavor of outside capital to develop the Territory, has held it back half century. Until citizens learn to w"lcome without those who willing to spend ther money freely in developing natural resources It will always be hampered in development. It IS nat ter of grave all persons interested n the development of the country to see the nosty manifested toward a magnificent gift generously donated by the Government. The question of msnan- aeement and ncompetency should not be entertained for moment The of the road has been eXcesslV' but of proportion to the cost of other things in the Territory. citizens have always paid firm enc 70 two hundred per cent more for what they got than if they had resided in the States IT the rall- road costs one hundred millions than the original est innate it should occasion tLis unWse agitatcn vhich may yet cau%e eperations be suspended pend ing an investigation.
 The time has come when Aaskans must judge people by their works MT Wickersham mas been fgbtine Alaska's battles many years. He has In cidenty mixed few of his own Tn with ours He has accomplished nothing and has made enemies of former friends of the Territory. Secretary Lane has been fighting for Alaska for many years and in cdenty fighting the Delegates opposition to every thing not introduced by himself The secretary mas been instrumental causing the expenditure Of many million dollars in the Territory.

WICKERSHAM'S WAY.

"To study the latest improvements in the
 art of stealing elections" James W1ckersham,
 Congressional Delegate from Alaska, now Tn
 Seattle, will leave for Juneau in a few days
 according a statement made by him at the
 Frye hotel Monday morning.
 q haven't heard that the eanvassing board
 intend issue certificate to Sulzer,' Judge
 Wckersham said, but it is cnch that they
 will, matter what the returns are. And
 the tricks that Johnnie Troy and Governor
 Riggs won't be able to think of will not be
 worth mentioning '-(S Seattle Union Record
 Official Union Labor publication, March 17) Of course the former Delegate from Alaska knew he told that story the Record that the returns from the last Alaska election showed that Delegate Suzer had received plurality of the votes and tha matter what rule of action the Canvassing Board might decide upon, it would have no alternative but to issue the certificate of election to Mir Sulzer. he knew what he talking about, also, he knew that Mir Troy member of the Canvassins Board He knew that his attack Gov. Riggs deliberate attempt deceive the readers of the Seattle Union Labor paper Such is Wickershams concep- tion of statesmanship, and his way of playing the game of politcs!"

Tourist Travel in 1919.
Seattle Times. )


 During the next years, the State of Washington, cooperating with Oregon and British Columbia, Will contribute $50 900 joint fund for advertising the attractions Pacific Northwest in Eastern states In the period, this commonwealth will expend s1 900 900 on roads wholly to attract tourists but always with the idea in mind of afording visitors opportunity to visit the many beauty spots in Wash ington.
 This year, according to many observers, will be a big year for tourist travel
 Europe will be ready to receive visitors this summer while the relaxation of war effort will per init thousands plan for longer trips than they were able to make in 1918.
 Are this city and section capitaZing to the utmost their scenic attractions that would appeal to toursts Is Seattle going after this business in the way it after the Alaska business years ago or world commerce in 1914 and 1915?
 Are inducing many tourists as we might to make the trip to the Pacific Coast over the shorter and attractive northern route?
 If these things have not been done-and they have been done,-then Seattle still has great deal to accomplish before it expect to reap the utmost benefit from tourist travel.
 By all right and logic, this country of cool days md temperate nights should be the summer play ground of America!
 This year is good time to resume the work, inter rupted by the war, that designed to make the American people understand why it should be Ameri- ca's most favored and most famous summer resort!
