threshed out in the coming delegate
contest is the right of the signal
corps in Alaska to vote.
Certain localities are justly proud
of having bodies of capable men in
uniform. One could mention the For
eign Legion of France; the mounted
policemen of Canada; the Texas
rangers along our southern frontier
and the state constabulary of Penn
sylvania.
"But far and above all these in
point of intelligence, preparation and
training are the signal corps of
Alaska.
"These men in nearly all cases are
not recruited with the ease that are
other men of the army, and while
having to stand rigid tests as to
physical fitness, they must also show
educational and trades proficiency.
The rank and file of these men have
come to Alaska for good, and in all
cases take up the duties of citizen
ship upon their arrival in the ter
ritory. Many of them have secured
their discharge and are filing prac-
ticalIy every kind of position in the
country.
Some are in business, others are
practicing law, medicine and DENTS
try. Others are mining, fishing, pros
pecting and, as before stated, doing
all kinds of mems work.
"Along the Yukon, on the Valdez
trail and at every exposed place in
the territory where they may be To-
Gated, they have gone into the life
of their communities. Many pros |
pector and traveller owes his life to
these intrepid men. And to deny |
them their franchise is to deny voting
privileges to some of the most stable
men in Alaska. These men are not |
found in military posts, but scattered |
throughout the width and breadth of !
Alaska; their permanent residence is
more fixed than that of Is per cent
of our population, and they should
no more be deprived of the right of
voting than should any other men
holding down federal or territorial
POSITIONS"

Future for Hyder

That the Portland canal district
has wonderful future as a mining
camp is the opinion of W. S. Sullivan,
who left Ketchikan for Hyder with
complete restaurant outfit. Six
years ago Mr.. Sullivan worked with
a survey party both at Hyder and
Stewart, B. c., and says that some of
the finest ore he has ever seen any
where was from the mines in that
vicinity.

For seventy-tive years the United
States government officially has rec
Ognized the strategic position of it's
great Pearl Harbor naval base, the
massive dry dock of which will Off
cially be opened by Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels during his visit there
with the new Pacific fleet, beginning
today. President Tyler in 1912 gave
formal notice to all European gov
ernments that the United States
would never consent to their Occu-
plying Hawaii or establishing on any
Of the islands a naval or military base
through purchase or otherwise. This
policy was reiterated later by Daniel
Webster when he was secretary of
state, by James G. Blaine and by
President Mckinley. In 1886 the
United States, through a treaty with
King Kalakaua, then ruler of the
islands, gained the right to establish
what has become the Pearl Harbor
base. Twelve years later the United
States annexed the islands. Two
years after the annexation surveys
were begun for the great dry dock
just now completed.

ALASKA NOTE AND COMMENT
Weather Uncertainties

The present weather keeps man
guessing whether to put on his winter
underwear and lay in his supply Of
winter coal, or take a vacation expect

you remain in town, is to carry your
raincoat with you and be on the safe
side.-SeWard Gateway.

HANDLING THE ALIENS.

England has received hints
that 10000 aliens-agitators-
are ready to rush over from IIol-
land. and England is ready to
prevent the rush. 1t is said to
be deporting all dangerous aliens
in a quiet manner. While the
expressions of Secretary Of
Labor Wilson and others with
respect to the purposes of this
government under the espion-
age law to continue to send out
of the country all the similar
elements are highly commenda-
BILE. it is a question whether
from now on the authorities
should not be reserved in eX-
preston and more decided in
action.
The act of deporting those
who are foes of the country and
it's liberties will not create much
ado if the news is kept as much
as possible from sensational
exploitation or from public
knowledge other than as merely
routine action. 1t is the play
ing up of the matter that begets
a pose Of martyrdom on the part
of the elements ut which the
action is aimed. Hence it would
probably be the part of wisdom
for the authorities to proceed as
quietly as they did with the spy
nuisance during the progress Of
he war. Why should there he
more publicity with regard
actions under the espionage
law now than when the war was
on?
Let the enemy aliens, in the
sense of sinister enemy aliens.
be deported with expedition and
with no blare of trumpets. There
is a pregnant reason for this in
he assault made upon Premier
Clemenceau. There are other
lofty personages = Baltimore
