Wick's Fight on Railroad Not In Good Faith
Nenana News.


 Upon one thing it safely be said that Aaskans are agreed Frequent demonstrations, judge, dele gate and politician during the past dozen years have supplied convincing evidence of the fact that James Wickersham is fighter. The greater part of his time since he first journeyed to Washington as Alas ka Delegate Congress has been devoted to fighting something or somebody, and few of his admirers have their votes for him. year after year. because of the punch that was ever ready for delivery. It enough for them to know that Wick ersham could fight. They admired him and voted for him his aggressiveness, disregarding motives and risks of ill-advised and excessive fighting The noise of the fray, when Wickersham started something had way of dmmng issues and camoufaging personal attacks.
 While it is possible that some of this lighting has been well intended, the News is of the opinion that there has been entirely too much of it. Attacks directed against administration officials and heads of departments have resulted, in years gone by, in the withholding of funds which should have been made available for development purposes in Alaska; ten years of personally conducted war on the Gug- eenheims finds them more strongly entrenched than ever in Alaska. Col. Richardson, engaged for an equally long period in defensive warfare opposed by the Delegate from Alaska has retired from the fray with honor and the major portion of Territorial road building continues to be done under the direction Of the Alaska Road Commission of which Col. Richardson was directing head during his long term of service in the North. And Thomas Riggs, Jr., against whom Wickersham started fight while Riggs was still a member of the Alaska Engineering Commission, has emerged from the battle Governor of the Territory Throughout all his campaigns Wickersham has main- tained his reputation a fighter but he has failed to get resuts-failures which have seemed to intensity his lust battle rather than dismay him. Aaskans have shown that they admire fighter but they are only human-there is a limit to their admiration And the time has for Wickersham to show them that his fighting is worth while.
 The reasonableness of the latest Wickersham attack directed against Secretary Lane and the Alaska En- gneerng Commission is not apparent and it will be hard convince Alaskans that any good will come of it. fact, very much doubt if it is intended to result in benefit Territory. It has the appearance of personal attack the Governor and we are forced the belief that fighting former i Delegate would hesitate to upset the whole rail road organization if by doing, he could dscredir or embarrass the chief executive of the Territory

ASKING FOR CLEAN HANDS.

Courts of equity require relators to come into them with clean hands Thanks due United Statea Senator|James D. Phelan, of California, for invoking this rule against the Japanese suppliants at the Paris ration that country It would be preposterous, with much force, to give equal privileges, such as citizenship land ownership the ballot and the right of ntermarriage Orentas after that country experience observation of their aims of existence and mode living. Attention is then drawn to what is hidden by the Japanese gloves:
 "The justice of this will appeal to
 Japan itself because already Japan has re-
 stricted, if forbidden, land ownership by
 foreigners who, by the way, are not seeking
 land ownership, and excluding Chinese coolies
 from Japanese territory Recently 200 such
 coolies who had irregularly entered Japan
 have been deported. In other words Japan
 is protecting her population against
 the competition of cheaper Chinese labor, so
 the United States in taking this position is
 merely taking a page from the Japanese
 book"
 Prospect of repudiation of the Oriental plea IS strong Canada and Australia have protested it and Great Britain will undoubtedly, join her colonies Definite action in the covenant will put an end to this menace domestic peace the prosperity of American institutions and what is known Christian civilization, and preserve and defend nationaiies on racial lines, thus preventing attempted conquests and ayerting

Every man, woman and child his per sonal friend and treated alike. None of his political opponents ever attacked him personally. On the con- trary, they all had good word for him. They knew that his aim to please all; and happy in the thought that he succeeded admirably well; which makes the loss the harder. He strickened at a time when life held out to him present filled with success and canopied his future with hopes with promise of continued usefulness and great future. But it not to be; and without much warning he transplanted Today in darkened homes thousands of personal friends sit dsolate and welnigh comfortless and fully convinced that death must love a shining mark.
 In his death, his family suffers an irrena hle loss and the Territory most devoted and conscien- tious citizen May the All Compassionate bend down and impress those grieving here that he has gone where there is no suffering to be borne.

complete for the campaign which
opens April Fl.
I'VE are only waiting for the

1--WE believe the fifth victory loan
will be the most popular of any gov
eminent loan floated. Practically
every hamlet village and city in the
ninth district has completed its local
Organization. While we are conf
dent this district will be one of the
first to go lover the top" 1t is neces-
sary that everyone make supreme
effort for its success
Necessary literature and advertis-
ing Is in the hands of the various
organizations and while actual sub
scriptions to the loan will not neces-
sarily begin until the 2lst. every
local organization is already active
in the work of advertising the loan.
The fact that the issue will be of
short term notes and they do not
have to be paid up until November
1t is believed will make the loan more
popular than it's predecessors. Every
ed to have a victory loan poster be-
fore the drive is ended. Some cities
and towns will defer the start of the
campaign in order to make it short
and snappy.
