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.

trict Attorney Kustgard left Kethcikan
