JAKES M. 1HOUPS POSITION
When James M.Shoup, United Slates
marshal for the tint judicial division of
Alaska, speaks for territorial govern
ment It means something, tie is not
only one i^f the moet popular men of
the North, but he is one of those men
who think much and -ay little. And
he thinks soundly, so that when he
speaks he speaks vith knowledge and
wisdom. He has lived the life of a pi
oneer and he- came to Alaska with a
judgment that was fully matured by ex
periences in a new country where con
ditions are similar to those that exist
in Alaska Coming to the district with
such a preparation, he has lived here
with his eyes wide open for seven
years, and he has applied his ripened
judgment to what he has seen. He
?ays the people of Alaska are as well
prepared for self-governmeut as are
those of any of the territories, ami be
adds the truism that "American people
are atwavs restless until they can have
a voice In the government."
Mr, Shoup is as sou ud on the (ques
tion of territorial government a> he is
on everything else
ACCEP ? A LE TO WSOM>
According to Seattle papers. M..vor .
Balliogei*. o' that place, is writing to
memb r? of congress, urging that Alas
ka should be given a > elective dele
gate In congres-, hut if > cannot get *n
elective delegate, that an appointnc'
ore would be acc-pt ib e. To wl.otr,
Mr. BalhtiL'er. would an apujintive del

dent Roosevelt is weli ii:spt?, d toward
Alaska, and that will lie granted, Kut
he nor any other man, no matter how
friendly to thi- distric', Is <jaali':ed tol
select a man to represent Alaska, j
The fact that Mr, ICoosevelt J
appointed John (?. Brady to i>e governor
of this district is amnS r dene tha:
the selection of a re eseu'ative lot
Alaska in congress should !?? left the
people who are to lie repres ntt d.
The seating of Cov. Adams iu Colo
rado by a republican le^i'la' ur> ->houl 1
quiet the situation in that star- to a
certain extent, though the feeling o'
bitterness will continue to be ve?y se
vere. The unseating of nearly half of
the democratic members of the legis'u
ture will cause much resentment among
the members of that party, notwith
standing that the deoiocta'- no>ioulit
did much illegal voting in lVuver.
The Yaldez News is strongly opi*os".l |
to the plan of Judge W. A. Djj so have 1
a mounted police torce in Alasha. It |
pointedly says "if Alaska citi ais were
harassed by ^angs of Mexican bandit-. '
half bre d horse thieve-., raiders, out
laws and hostile Indians," theu there '
would be some excuse for talking of a >
"Texas Rangers" organization.
