ALASKA DAILY EMPIRE J. F. A. STRONG Telephone No. 3-7-4 Entered as second-class matter November 7. 1912 at the poetottlco at Ju neau. Alaska, under the Act of March 3. IS79. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: 0?e year, by mall $10.00 Six months, by mall 5.00 Per month, delivered l.Ou JUNEAU. ALASKA. FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1913. GOV. SULZER AND MURPHY THE break between Gov. William Sulzer. of New York, and Leader Charles F. Murphy, of Tammany, was inevitable. Sul zer is and always has been in close touch with the progres sive element of the people. The machine methods of the Tam many chieftain are abhorrent to those from whom New York's new governor has received his inspiration, and when the latter found Murphy's henchmen and Murphy's methods permeating all the departments and bureaus of the State it is no surprise to those who know him that a house-cleaning should begin. That it did begin so early in his administration augurs well for the con tinued success of the governor and of progressive Democracy in ihe Empire State. The people of New York State are not different from those of other States. Give them a leader that will direct their efforts and they will go just as far toward making their State pro gressive as the people of New Jersey, New Hampshire and other Eastern States have gone. Gov. Sulzer is not only doing well for his State, but he is doing good politics. Former Gov. John A. Dix's fate should dem onstrate this fact to the most obtuse. He had the same oppor tunity that came to Gov. Sulzer. but he did not grasp it. He turned the State over to Murphy, and the result was that a year after his election, through a tremendous Democratic landslide, the Republicans carried the legislative election by a majority more emphatic than any they had received in many years. It took a Baltimore convention, a Woodrow Wilson and a resultant landslide again to give the Democrats'an opportunity to do what Gov. Dix had not done. Fortunately for the party and for the State of New York a Sulzer was carried into the governor's chair by the second victory of his party, and for the first time since Cleveland and Hill Tammany's boss has been driven out of the capital, and told that henceforth he must confine his activ ities. if. indeed, he shall be permitted to remain active at all, to the affairs below Harlem. The humiliation of the Democratic party in New York dates from the ascendency of Tammany in it. It ceased to be a force for good when the Tammany leaders assumed the directing hand in its affairs, and the people would have none of it. ? ' ' ? * Li. -1 A L.. The situation that is oeing urougru awui uj uuv. ou^a is even more hopeful than that of the days of Cleveland and Hill, for Gov. Sulzer has powerful support in the Tammany or ganization itself in addition to a large following in the metropo lis that is his because those that compose it know him and be lieve in him. There are thousands of young men?educated men of standing in the professional callings and the business world ?members of the Tammany organization who are thoroughly progressive and who approved of the drubbing Bryan gave Mur phy at Baltimore. All these men require as an inducement to assert themselves is a leader such as Gov. Sulzer is proving him self to be. and it is a good guess that within another two years Murphy will be making the fight of his busy lifetime to retain] the leadership of Tammany and that he will have no time to med dle in bigger politics at all. In the meantime, the whole country is profiting. New York is so emphatically the hub of this continent that its local af fairs are matters of public interest everywhere, and a good ex ample there is worth much throughout the Nation. Let the good work go on. The prayers of all supporters of good govern ment are with Gov. Sulzer. The people of Alaska must not think that because the Alas ka Legislature is holding short sessions and has passed no bills that its members are not working or that the first session will be a do-nothing meeting. The members of the legislature are giving serious attention to the business that brought them to the capital, and The Empire is confident that they will work out solutions for most of their problems before departing for their homes. They are men of ability and all of them thorough Alas kans. The fact that they are going slow and giving much time to deliberation and consultation speaks in favor of their capacity rather than against them. ? SEPARATION A PROBABLE SOLUTION IT NEED create no great surprise if the final solution of the dif ficulties in harassed Mexico shall be dismemberment. Except in the cases of Mexico and Brazil it has been impossible, seemingly, for any great number of the Spanish Americans or any great area of the territory populated by them to continue long as one nation. Distrust and suspicion combined with am bition and intrigue are natural traits of this adventuresome peo ple, and those are not the traits that count for co-operation and stability. The South American Spaniards had hardly deprived the mother country of its authority in the Western continent be fore they fell to quarreling among themselves over the powers of government, and a dozen small nations were born. The result has been that in some of them, in most instances those of small est area, there has been peace for comparatively long periods of time. Factional differences are being developed in Mexico that will make it more and more difficult again to unite the several States of the republic on a basis that will be sufficiently satis factory to all. It would have been better, probably, for the Mex ican people if the American boundary had been established farther south a half century ago. By a vote of twenty-nine to nine the British Columbia Leg islature defeated woman suffrage. Dr. Young, member from At lin and Minister of Education in the Cabinet of Premier Richard McBride, supported the measure. The people of Alaska will follow the work of Gov. Sulzer in New York with greater interest, probably, than those of any other section of the country outside of his own State, because he is almost an Alaskan himself. He has spent much of his time in this territory, has invested largely of his money here, and has been our best friend at Washington and in the East. His suc cesses are those of one of our own people. More power to him. President Wilson will not permit anything .to be done that will subject his administration to the charge of nepotism. The Democratics of Washington and Oregon have urged the appoint ment of Capt. A. M. Wilson as commissioner to the Philippines. "Capt. Wilson is a cousin of mine," the President is represented as having said, " and that makes it absolutely impossible for me to consider his application for appointment. I shall feel barred from appointing any member of my own family to office." The impression prevails in Washington that in contests for place from the Wilson administration original progressive Dem ocrats will have all the best of the argument to start with. It is believed by newspaper correspondents at the National Capital that the applicants for positions from the State of Washington, having the endorsement of the original Wilson men, will be the lucky ones.

CONNECTICUT GIRL LIKES HER NAME NEW YORK, March 13?When Miss Celia Cohen, of Dorchester, Con., was twenty-five she determined that she would not marry anyone if it involved her changing her name. Her mother's maiden name was Cohen, and both of her grandmothers were Cohens before their marriage. Her sister married a Cohen. She turned down two flatter ing proposals because the would-be grooms were not Cohens. A short time ago a Dorchester young man, named Cohen, pressed his love suit. "His name was Cohen," said Miss Cohen, "and I allowed him to pay some attention to me." The engagement of Miss Cohen was announced at a party last night when it was discov ered that her fiance's mother's maiden name was Cohen. All those at the engagement party were Cohens.
