ALASKA DAILY EMPIRE J. F. A. STRONG JOHN W. TROY, Editor. Telephone No. 3-7-4 Entered a> second-class matter November 7, 1912 at the postotlice at Ju ueau. Alaska, under tbe Act of March 3, 1379. SUESCRIPTION RATES: year, by mail $10.00 Six mouths, by mail 5.00 Per mouth, delivered 1.00 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. One on Pinchot.

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. o?o?o HUXTERS AND TRAPPERS:?
