lu the Interior country political
matters are more actively discussed

If the report be true that, upon the
arrival of Governor Hoggatt at Fair- j
banks, both the papers of that city
seized upon the opportunity to "roast" !
him, the editors of those papers lack
not only judgment aud discretion,
but common sense. Abuse is not ar
gument, an<d there are times when even
argument is out of season. When the j
governor of a state visits any part of j
the state ou official business, an insult
to that governor is an insult to the
state, and should and will be resented
j as such by the people of the state. If
the papers of Juneau had not greeted
i Gov. Brady -with glaring headlines,
j "Siwash Brady is in Town," the people
of Alaska would now have more respect
for the papors of that city and the
| think tanks of the men who run them.
