A W1LSONIAN CHARACTERISTIC
THE definite and decisive manner in which President Wilson
brought the currency problem that has been worrying states
men in the United States for so long a time to a focus is
characteristic of him. The country has a competent man at
its head, lit' is one that does things. He arrives at conclusions,
and he has the nerve necessary to execute in accordance with
his conclusions. Under his leadership there will be progress.
The rare simplicity of the President's method of thinking
makes it possible for him to reach definite decisions where other
statesmen have hesitated. He has a way of keeping his mind
free and the ultimate end that it is sought to arrive at constantly
in view; and the end with him always is the welfare of all. He
sees clearly and reasons from cause to effect with an exactness
that is inspiring. He is able to disregard the special pleas of
special interests in a manner that is singularly fortunate for the
best interests of the country.
In the special instance that has called forth this comment,
the currency problem, the President has been fortunate in the
fact that the Democratic party, upon which he mrst depend for
votes to put his program through Congress, has no record that
it must measure up to for consistency's sake. It has been in a
position to approach the question in a scientific frame of mind,
and to listen to the conclusions of the President without preju
dice. The result has been that the President and the leaders of
his party in Congress have offered a plan of action that is, appar
ently, acceptable to all the people of the country, save, perhaps,
those that are profiting unduely from the inelastic and restricted
currency system that is now in force in the Nation.
Despite all the effort of the civilized peoples of Europe the
Balkan nations that stood shoulder to shoulder for so long in the
war against the Mohammedans are fighting among themselves
over the spoils of that contest, and once again the fields of Mac
edonia will be drenched in human blood. It is too bad. People
had hoped for better things from the Balkans. We had thought
that they had made more progress, and were nearer a modern
civilization. Apparently we had expected too much.
JUNEAU'S BUILDING
IN THE first half of this year two firms of contractors have
completed and got under way buildings and alterations to build
ings in this city the total cost of which will amount to more
than $125,000. Other contractors have been active, and dozens
of buildings have been erected and scores of others altered and
improved through day work where there have been no contracts.
This activity would have been greater had it not been impossible
at times to get supplies and material with which to prosecute the
work. Yet there has been no attempt to force a boom at Ju
neau. The building, the growth and the developments have been
the natural results of the opening of her great ore deposits. Peo
ple have been simply preparing to care for the business that is
offering at their doors. Juneau's growth is and has been un
forced. In fact it has not kept up with the natural demand. It
must be faster in the future than it has been in the past.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says that "nothing on earth,
above it or below it, could have induced Taft to sign the sundry
civil appropriation bill." No. nor the tariff bill nor, probably,
the currency bill that will be passed. That, in part at least, is
why the people of only two States voted to give him a chance to
sign or veto anything.
JUNEAU'S TITLE CLEAR
THERE is not a spot on that part of the earth that lies within
the domain of Uncle Sam where there is greater cause for
a genuine, patriotic Fourth of July celebration this year thari
in Juneau. Since the last natal day of the Nation the princi
ples of the Declaration of Independence ? the adoption of which
caused the Fourth of July to be set apart as a day dedicated to
freedom and liberty in thought and action and as a holiday com
memorative of the right of people to govern themselves ? have
been applied to Alaska, and developments have made this city the
best there is in this good country. Juneau's title to a celebration
is clear, so let us celebrate and let us be glad that we are Ameri
cans and Alaskans as we do it.
QUEEN MARY suppressed a book that Princess Patrica of
Connaught wrote concerning her impressions of Americans
and Canadians for fear, it is said, that it would give of
fense to those on this side of the Atlantic. With all appreciation
for the consideration the gracious Queen has exhibited for the
feelings of her North American kinfolk, her solicitude was un
necessary. Americans and Canadians really enjoy being criti
cised by a pretty young lady and if Princess "Pat" has failed to
get the viewpoint of the New World, amusement would be the
harshest emotion that she could possibly arouse.
UNCLE SAM A BOY AGAIN
UNCLE SAM will celebrate his 137th birthday tomorrow with
a spirit that would indicate that he has discovered the germ
of eternal youth that has been sought so persistently by
the sages of the ages. He will play ball, shoot off fire-crackers,
make spreadeagle speeches, run foot races and otherwise per
form as he did in the days of his boyhood with all the enthusiasm
that is characteristic of his natural buoyancy. And why not?
His ideals have remained as they were when he was given to the
world by the men of '76, and he has but recently renewed his
confession of faith and received a new baptism of the spirit that
inspired his fathers. It is meet and proper, then, that he should
feel young, kick up his heels and enjoy himself on his birthday
as becomes one that is in possession of the vigor of the spirit of
the youth that looks forward toward a future of usefulness and
happiness rather than backward toward things that have been.
