There is but one position thru which the work of an empire builder could function in Alaska and that is as Governor. Combin- ed in this office are the duties of and those of policy-moulder. Into this position General Steese would fit like a glove. Any program of progress would receive the grave consideration of Washington.
 Possibly no man now occupying the position of United States ter ritorial possession, or that of chief executive of state, has better qualifications thru experience and training than General Steese. This experience has the range from purely commercial and business activities to that of one of the most highly trained army engin- eers. He has, since relinquishing his post in Alaska, been actively engaged in business affairs as the representative of large mineral in- tereSts in South Africa and South America.
 A canvass of sentiment respect ing his acceptance as Governor justifies the statement that 1t would be received with huzzahs of approval from every walk of life. It would be heralded as the arrival of an hour long looked for-that of the arrival of an empre-builder whose most prized reward was the happiness of achievement.
 Some idea of General Steese's fit ness for the position of 'The Boss' of Alaska may be gained by the fol- lowing brief historical sketch:

Brig. Gen. SteeSe Prospective Governor
 Alaska is Forecast

Rumors which appear to have a strong semblance of authenticity indicate that the next Governor of Alaska will be Brigadier General James Gordon SteeSe, retired.
 That something momentous is in cubating wherein General Steese is the pivot around which it re- wolves is revealed in his present visit to Alaska.
 Naturally, General Steese ha s maintained a Sphinx-like silence on the purport of his visit, but it is notable fact that since receiv- ing the Bachelor of Science degree from the Alaska College he h a s spent some time in making an ex- haustive investigation of practical ly every major governmental act ivity in Alaska
 These in clu de the Alaska Railroad the Matanuska coal fields, the MatanuSka experimental farm, activities in Mckinley park and the Richardson Highway.
 AS indicated by reports from Washington the activities of the Alaska Road Commission are to be transferred from the War to the Interior Department. It is not likely that this change would re- celve the sanction of the War De- partment unless there was some understanding whereby the work initiated and carried on under the regime of the then Colonel Steese would be safeguarded against the machinations of partisan politics which may find expression in the Interior Department, but which cannot penetrate the War Depart ment because of it's non-partisan structure
 Therefore it appears that there can be but one purport of this ac- tlvity on the part of General Steese. It is that Washington has display ed rare wisdom in calling upon one whose identity with Alaskan af- fairs has been marked with real progress, land whose judgnlent brooks no Impeachment when it Il comes to the needs of the Territory and the method for securing their recognition at Washington.
 Among the fortuitous episodes coming as an emphasis for revers- Ing the niggard and confusing DOL icy for the railroad following the Howell committee assault, was the collapse of the big snoWshed at the summit, when Colonel Ohson had a narrow escape from death when he was struck and knocked down by falling timber. Colonel Steese was present on the same train and saw the effect of pairing railroad funds to the bone and what this is exerting upon the railroad struc- ture.
 In Mckinley park he saw the woeful need for roads and tourist hotels, and at Seward the need for coal bunkers. On the Richardson Highway he beheld the tragedy which would follow the policy of Congress in allowing only S354,310 for road work as against the $656,- 900 demanded-where bridges are gone and must be replaced or the highway abandoned.

chat the police captain was forced

nit a delegation to enter the bureau.
Among the workers we're a number
who are employed on the city emer-
gency work jobs These workers are
aroused at the latest move of the city
TO economic on their misery. For
merly they worked three days each
week, receiving the inadequate sum
OF $16.50-55.5O a Gay. The new
scheme compels them to work six
days every other week, with the
Y ages reduced to SIS a day, and the
most vicious part is that they must
wait three weeks before they get
their wages. Workers whose week
ended last Saturday, March 5, will
not get paid until the 22nd. This
leaves the workers without a cent
with which to buy food for three
weeks. They are incensed at this
and tomorrow at II am. they will
demonstrate under the leadership of
the Downtown Council at Leonard
and Lafayette SITS. before the offices
OF Commissioner Taylor and demand
That this new misery scheme be re-
voked.

BOSS ATHLETIC
BUNCH HATE IDEA
OF MOONEY RACE

NEW YORK.-The "Free Tom
Mooney" Street Run which takes
place Saturday, March 18th, has
gained wide support among the
worker athletes of New York. The
road work and reputation of some of
the participants predicts a real
snappy race.
The class character Of the A.AU.
is openly exposed by a vicious attack
that they have launched against the
Mooney Race. The AA.U. officials
have issued statement that "Any
athlete participating in this Running
meet Will be barred from A.A.U.
sanctioned meets and will be expelled
from membership"
The officials openly stand against
any athletes entering in the fight to
free Tom Mooney. Tom Mooney has
been framed, and the Amateur Ath-
letic Union condemns him to a Iiv-
ing death, by supporting the lying,
corrupt regime that has kept Mooney
in Jail for Is long years.
The Counter-O Olympic Committee,
whose honorary national chairman
is Tom Mooney, under this commit
tee auspices the meet is being run.
calls on the rank and file of the
A.A.U. to participate in this PUN.
The statement against the meet
comes only from the officials, bank
ers and business men themselves,
whose interests lie in common with
the interests that keep Mooney rot
ting in jail. This does not repre-
sent the sentiment of the rank and
file. The Counter Olympics Commit
tee calls on all athletes to disregard
this rotten attack on the workers
sport movement.
The Run will take place this Sat
urday, March u, at p. m. Start
will be from Rutgers Square East on
T., Broadway TO Clinton ST., North to
Ave. 3, north to e. 7th ST., west TO
Ave. A, north to E. 18th St., west TO

tions at Union Square. A letter writ
ten by Tom Mooney together with
the autographed photograph will be
first prize.
