NOTHING DISCOURAGING YET
HOSE Alaskans who are getting anxiuos over the delay in
the announcement of appointments at Washington should
not get discouraged. The President has not announced any
appointments at all since the convening of Congress in special ses
sion. White House interest evidently is now centered upon the
tariff bill and other matters than the consideration of appoint
ments. It is fair to assume, however, that Cabinet officers have
been giving a good deal of attention to the question of appoint
ments. and that one of these days the President will send in a
big list of names to the Senate for its action, and it is not unlikely
that there will be some Alaskans among those in the list.
The suggestion of President John Reck of the Commercial
Club that the business men of Juneau should take more interest in
public matters than to permit the Commercial Club to hold a meet
ing with a bare quorum should be taken to heart. There is too
much work to do if this city is to live up to its opportunities for
men to neglect this matter. i
A SATISFACTORY APPOINTMENT
* . |
HE news from Washington that Mrs. Alfred P. Swineford will;
be appointed postmistress at Ketchikan will cause pleasure
all over Alaska. It will be a fitting thing for a Democratic
President to honor the widow of the first Democratic governor
of the Territory of Alaska, and particularly so when that gover
nor was a man so thoroughly identified with the real work of lay
ing the foundations of the coming commonwealth of the North as
was Alfred P. Swineford, of revered memory. No name in Alas
ka is more highly regarded than that of this grand, old man who
battled so valiantly for so many years for the establishment of an
American system of government in the Territory
Those of our citizsns that have taken up the matter of pro
viding Juneau with a good baseball team and with an opportunity
to see and enjoy the national game for the coming summer are
public benefactors. They deserve the encouragement of every
body. Let us all help them to raise the money necessary to accom
plish their undertaking, and then let us all help to boost the Ju
neau team to victory.
