ANNEXATION
Discouraged at the manner In
which Alaska is treated at Washing
ton, petitions from all over the dis
trict are being sent to President
Taft asking that the United States
government release Alaska in order
that she may be annexed to Cana
da. This is a bold move on the part
of Alaskans, but they have been
driven to it by the treatment ac
i corded that district at the national
I capital. There is one thing that
1 would have to he considered in
I turning Alaska over to Canada, and
that would he Majcr Wilds P. Kic-h
! ardson’s job as road commissioner.
: Of course, Wild P might also be
j annexed, but being a Texan, suh,
: he might have something to say
| on tnat subject. At any rate, it
would be ten times better for Alas
ka to belong to Canada than to re
main as she is, the subject cf more
government prostitution than lias
I ever before been visited on any
| country since the dawn of civiliza
! tjon.—Whitehorse Star.
