One Thing to Do

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE will make
an investigation of Senator Wheelers charge
that government officials have entered into Sc
cret agreement by which Morgan and Guggen-
helm interests in Alaska are favored in operations
of the aforementioned Alaska railroad.
The Star hopes this investigation will be thoro.
II hopes it viii be public 1t hopes the Chamber
will seek out every iota of evidence and sft these
charges to the bottom.
The political angle of the affair, it thinks is
unimportant But the whole economic future of
Alaska is wrapped up in the success of the Alaska
railroad and Wheeiers charges hit directly at that
road.
Such an investigation should be pushed prompt
" for the welfare of Alaska itself. If cancer
exists. it cannot be cured-or permanently hid
den-by the application of a poultice.
If the charges are true, the people are entitled
to know it. This paper will be the first TO expose
it.
And if the charges are false, or are half-truths
and haf-lies The Star will be the first to denounce
that. -. -,
BUT LET'S HAVE 1T OUT IN THE OPEN,
AND FIND OUT WHAT'S WHAT PROMPTLY.

of him when he delivered his Gettysburg address knew
him well enough to deny that he was awkward.
