ALASKA DAILY EMPIRE J. F. A. STRONG JOHN W. TROY. Editor. Telephone No. 3-7-4 Entered ah second-class matter November 7, 1912 at the postotlice at Ju neau. Alaska, under the Act of March 3. 1S79. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: year, by mail >10.00 Six months, by mail 6.00 Per month, delivered 1-00 THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S PLEDGES. THE Democracy of the United States should be reminded from time to time that the party is on trial. The people are in the frame of mind to demand fulfillment of the pledges that the Democratic party has made in its national platform, and which were approved in the national election of Jast Novem ber. That these pledges will be redeemed; that the promises made will be kept may be believed. There is a master hand at the helm of the Ship of State: there is a strong, honest man directing the administration at Washington?a man who believes that a prom ise made is a solemn obligation not be lightly cast aside. It is admitted that there are many of the people that the poli cies to which the present national administration is committed may not please, because a majority of the total vote cast at the Novem ber election was against the party now in power. None the less the majority of the people do expect the Democratic party to perform its promises. The demand for tariff revision is general ? A ? A J 1 Ti and the Underwood tariff bill is the result 01 mat aemauu. u will be passed substantially as it was introduced in the Congress, and, it is submitted, that it is an honest, straightforward at tempt to lessen the burdens of the ultimate consumer and elim inate the special privileges that have enabled the chosen few to fatten at the expense of the great majority of the American people. And this is a step forward. Also the income tax law will compel the rich tax-dodgers to contribute their share to ward the support of the national government?a compulsory privilege which to the most of them is anathema maranatha. And for this the Democracy may justly claim the credit. While President Wilson was elected by a minority vote it is an indisputable fact that he has the confidence of the great mass of the American people. This is because they believe in him. and they are confident that the trust committed to his charge will not be betrayed. Those who failed to hear the Ben Hur recital given last night by Mrs. J. C. McBride, assisted by the Juneau Ladies' Mus ical Club, the Orpheus Club, and the Juneau High School Band, missed an artistic treat. Mrs. McBride charmed her audience by her stirring rendition of striking scenes from General Lew Wal lace's masterpiece, while the musical numbers were equally de lightful. The Empire hopes that the people of Juneau may have the opportunity of frequently hearing Mrs. McBride and the splen did musical aggregation so ably conducted by Mr. Willis E. Nowell. THE FUTILITY OF FACTIONALISM THE Democrats of Alaska?and they have increased in the past six months in a somewhat marvelous manner?should learn by the experience of their own past as well as by the experience of their former great rival?the Republican party. It is assumed that there are few bourbons in the Alaska Democra cy?that class which never learn and never forget. The Demo crats of Alaska are as much on trial as those elsewhere. The party in State or Territory has a duty to perfrom if it desires to strengthen the national administration. And this duty can only be performed by strict observance of its pledges. And that necessarily embraces the cultivation of harmony within the ranks. Strife and discord and the fomenting of factionalism will eventually shatter a political party, be is never so strong. The national administration is pledged to give Alaska a square deal, to solve the knotty problems that former adminis trations assisted in creating, and then fatuously allowed the Territory to drift like a rudderless ship in a stormy sea. There fore, it is submitted, while a generous support of the Alaska peo ple is due the administration, it should be fairly expected that Alaska Democrats shall give it its undivided support. And this can be fully rendered only by a united party?not by one torn with internal dissensions, and embittered by struggles for place, power or patronage. It is a condition not a theory that confronts the Democrats of Alaska. "Fightin' like the devil for conciliation and hatin' one an other for the love of God," is a mighty poor way of promoting peace and concord. The broad fraternal spirit expressed by The Empire's local contemporary towards The Empire's proprietor, in his official capacity, is duly appreciated. A COMMENDABLE SPIRIT THE Skagway Daily Alaskan in felicitating the new Governor upon his inauguration, declares it will work with him for a unified Alaska. The spirit shown is commendable and worthy of emulation. The Empire believes in unity on the part of Alaskans. We have a great country and our best efforts should be directed towards obtaining for it that just recognition which its manifest merits demand. And this can be accom plished only by unity of purpose. Alaska is too big and too grand a country for the breeding and nursing of sectionalism and petty animosities. A grand country should produce a broad-minded, progressive people. Alaska is coming into its own. Its vast resources will be developed; prosperity will shine where gloom may now have sway; the coast and the interior will be linked?and at no dis tant time?by bands of steel, and the now unbroken wildness will bud and blossom through the restless activities of a progres sive, independent people. The towns now built will grow and prosper, and new ones will arise with the era of development in store. The reason for all these things is so plain that he who runs may read: We have those natural resources, in abundance, which all the world wants. Have you thought of this? Juneau is all torn-up-in-spots?but the tearing down is a building up, and shows that the spirit of progress is abroad in the Capital City. MEMBERS OF BAR LAUDING LYONS Just before Judge Gunnison and Dis trict Attorney Kustgard left Kethcikan for Juneau and a few days subsequent to the retirement of Judge Thomas It. Lyons from the bench us judge of the district court for the First Judicial Di vision of Alaska, occasion was made to make some addresses in open court, complimentary to the services ren dered by the retiring judge. District Attorney ltustgard ad dressed the court both for himself and for the government. His remarks were an earnest statement of the es teem in which Judge Lyons was held on account of the fairness and uni form courtesy displayed toward the district attorney's olllce and toward himeslf personally. Judge Gunnison who was the immediate predecessor of Judge Lyons on the bench followed with an eloquent statement express ing his personal regard and esteem to ward the retiring judge and closed by extending his best wishes and in thanking him for courtesies extended. Charles Cosgrove followed Judge Gun nison and made a very complimentary address referring feelingly to the es teem in which Judge Lyons was held not only by the bar of Southeastern Alaska but by the people in general.
