A TIME TO GET ON THE JOB
THEKK should be! a big meeting of the Juneau Commercial
Club tonight. Juneau should be prepared to demonstrate
to the business men and editors and correspondents that
will arrive here next week just what claims this city has on the
future. If we do our part in that there will be some surprises in
store lor them. Juneau's outlook is not excelled by that of any
town in the West several times its present size and present com-,
mercial importance, and its per capita bigness is now so far above
the average that it is in a class by itself. The more the people
of the States know about the resources and possibilities of Ju-:
neau and its tributary country, the easier it will be for those
that are developing those resources to get the capital that will
be required to make this city what it should be, and the easier
it will be to get satisfactory legislation for Alaska generally.
Let us not permit this opportunity to help ourselves to go
by default, or be only half used. There is not a business man or
property owner on Gastineau channel that is not materially inter
ested. and every one of them should get on the job. And, while;
at it. remember always that "what is worth doing at all is worth
doing well."
Mr. Oxnard says not one cent of the half million that he
has expended in lobbying at Washington for the sugar interests
has been spent illegally. Hut President Wilson did not say any
thing about a criminal lobby?"insidious" is the word he used.
Was not the influence of Mr. Oxnard's money "insidious?"
WILSON. JEFFERSON AND OTHER SCHOLARLY
PRESIDENTS
SENATOR JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS, himself a scholar and.
everyone must admit, a good judge of scholarship, said:
"Wilson is the most scholarly and the most capable Pres
ident that has stepped into the White House since Thomas Jef
ferson stepped out."
High praise. Too high? Possibly.
Mr. Wilson is a scholarly man. He has passed his days in
an atmosphere of scholarship. He has read widely, and written
a number of excellent books. As an essayist and historian he
ranks high, indeed. His public addresses show familiarity with
great topics and the public performances of great men who have
dealt with them, and demonstrate that he is an orator, some
thing that Jefferson was not.
But Madison was a scholarly man, and a wonder at college.
He went through Princeton with flying colors, and "remained a
year for the purpose of studying Hebrew." And what a writer
he was! And he. too. was an orator of compelling capacity.
Monroe was a scholarly man?one of the intellectual giants
of his day. He knew the pick of the scholarly world at home
and in both England and France where he saw service in a diplo
matic capacity. He was. also, an adept first-hand pupil at the
feet of Jefferson.
John Quincy Adams possessed scholarship of a very high
order. Busy as he was with everyday politics, he never lost his
interest in books, the classics always preferred.
Buchanan was a student of all that was best in literature,
law. and history, and gave considerable attention to science.
Garfield was so popular and effective as an orator and so suc
cessful in politics his scholarship does not figure in the general
appraisement of him. But he had scholarship, and delighted in
the society of scholars. He wrote no books, probably for want
of time. But. as Li Hung Chang said of Spofford, he had a good
many books "in his head." Like Wilson, he was a college presi
dent before be entered politics.
It is well within the possibilties that Wilson may demon
strate before his four years as President shall have expired that
he has been the most profound student of the fundamental prin
ciples that underlie the evolution of government?a necessary
condition precedent to lasting constructive statesmanship?that
has occupied the President's chai since Jefferson vacated it, but
it is claiming a great deal for him when it is said that he is the
greatest scholar to serve as chief magistrate since the Sage of
Monticello retired to his Virginia home to become the councellor
of his successors and a teacher of his people.
The citizens of Fairbanks and Nome will donate sites for
the building of hospitals for the detention of persons charged
with insanity or awaiting transportation to the hospital for the
insane for which the government appropriated $25,000, and, in
all probability, before the coming of another winter the buildings
will have been constructed. That will eleminate another thing
that has caused shame to the people of the Territory. Hereto
for these unfortunate people have been confined in the public
jails with criminals anc those charged with crime. One by one
the people of Alaska are meeting the problems of government
and solving them.
Do not lose sight of that waterfront thoroughfare. It's
worth following up.

SKAGWAY IS SHIPPING
VEGETABLES TO CORDOVA
Every Westward boat coming into
Skagway carries to Cordova a con
signment of Skgaway grown vegeta
bles. The boats of the Alaska Steam
ship Company plying between this
port and the Westward take fresh I
grown garden produce from the 11.
l>. Clark ranch for a retail house in
Cordova, and the Cordova merchant
is building up a big trade on the fact
that he can supply the Alaska grown
perishables within a few hours from
the time they are gathered in the Gem
City.
It takes several days for garden J
stuff to reach the Alaska cities from
the Sound, and when they arrive are ?
generally wilted, but the Skagway
brand is put on the Westward market,
fresh and crisp. Local produce brings
better prices and is worth it. Of,
course, it is generally known that
much of .Mr. Clark's ranch products
go to Whitehorse and the cities of
the Yukon, and it will be but a matter
of a few years until Skagway garden
ers will supply the Alaska demand,
and more money will be made from
that source than is made today in min
ing.?Skagway Alaskan.
