SIGNIFICANCE OF FIGHT ON BRYAN.
THE dispatches tell us that the "big interests" are keeping 11
up their fight on Bryan. If this is true, it will be accepted ^
by the people as evidence of lack of good faith in the show
ing of acceptance of the new order of things that is being made
by the big ones of Gotham. Bryan has been the leader in the
movement that is reaching its fruition in the Wilson administra
tion. The low tariff law, the currency law, and the proposed
trust regulation legislation are all along lines that were surveyed
and marked by the great Nebraskan during the years that inter
vened between the selection of him as the leader of his patty and ?
his selection by the President for the chief position in his Cabi
net. He is properly more nearly associated in the public mind f
with Wilson in the work that is being done by the administration
than is any other man. They are regarded as the master minds
of the new government.
The people will be more nearly inclined to accept as in good n
faith the professions of friendship that come from those in spite 3
of whom the Wilson policies are being worked out when they v
cease fighting Bryan. Until that time there will be a disposition h
to scrutinize their words and deeds with great care. 1
d
J
About the time that Mayor Cotterill announced that he would o
not be a candidate for re-election the people of Seattle seemed h
afraid that there would be no one to succeed him. However, like c
the Bibical warhorse, the politicians of that city scented the bat
tle from afar, and there are ten of them now fighting frantically
for the job.
FOES AND FRIENDS. IF
THE recent death of Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner recalls the a
peculiarly close friendship that existed from boyhood to old J
age between him and Ulysses S. Grant, notwithstanding ^
that their lives at times ran in far different channels. They were
cronies at West Point. They were friends in the old army, and
fought side by side in Mexico. They took different sides in the
war between the States, but were friends again after the conflict t
was over and Grant a Nation's hero and Buckner simply a sur- i
vivor of the "Lost Cause." [ n
History has no finer story to tell than of that enacted at n
Mount McGregor nearly three decades ago when Grant, voiceless '
and dying, was embraced by his boyhood friend, Buckner, always "
an American and always a patriot, and both men wept despite a
their years and their honors. The story of that meeting at a b
time when sectional feeling still ran high, and the war was yet a
a political issue, had a soothing effect both North and South, and fl
contributed not a little to the better understanding that followed.
Buckner was born in 1823, one year later than Grant. He i
graduated in 1844, again one year later than Grant. Young offi
cers in the Mexican war, they both gained distinction, and they
met as foes fourteen years later at Donelson, where, abandoned i
by his superiors. Floyd and Pillow, Buckner was compelled by cir
cumstances to make an "unconditional surrender," against which
he protested in vehement language.
This capitulation gave Grant fame. It humiliated Buckner
and made him a prisoner. As was the custom at that time, Buck
ner was exchanged and resumed his command, becoming eventual- ti
ly a Lieutenant-General, serving as such during further years of 0
hard fighting. Grant went on to Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, e
the Wilderness. Appomattox, the Presidency and undying glory. s
Buckner, in Louisiana in 1865, su Tendered and went home to p
Kentucky, first to face broken fortunes but later to become Gov- "
emor, to be respected by his fellow-men in sections once hostile, p
to renew his cordial relations with his conqueror, who in his tri- h
umph proved a friend indeed, and to live to a great old age, al-|t:
most the last of his time.
The last years of Gen. Buckner's public life were
clouded by his refusal to abide by the will of his party in 1896
when he accepted the nomination for vice-president on the gold -
Democratic ticket. However, he lived long enough for that to
be forgiven by his neighbors and friends, who know that in that,
as in all the important things of his life, he obeyed the dictates
of his conscience.
An aviator made a new record yesterday when Hamilton
died a natural death.
FAULTY LAND LAWS.
?
THE defects in the land laws that are pointed out by Surveyor
General Davidson should be given careful consideration.
Gen. Davidson, speaking from knowledge gained of exper
ience, contends that the laws reserving from entry 80 rods be
tween all appropriations of lands along all navigable waters in
Alaska is retarding the development and settlement of the Ter
ritory, and really serving the interests of those who would mo
nopolize the water front of the towns. Gen. Davidson's compre
hensive letter to the Secretary of the Interior, which was pub-!
lished in The Empire yesterday, presents the case so clearly that
further comment is hardly necessary.
The legislation that Gen. Davidson complains of is in line
with much of the legislation that has been worked off on Alaska.
It is a part of the reserve-creating policy which withholds re
sources from development for fear that they might be improperly
used. It is negative legislation. It is more of that policy that
would do nothing for fear something might not be done right. It
is the opposite of constructive legislation. It ties up miles on
miles of the lands of Alaska that are suitable for agricultural
and mineral and industrial purposes in order to prevent monopo
lization of the water front of a townsite here and there.
The situation is one that clearly demonstrates the need for
co-operation by State and Territory with the National govern
ment in the management of the public domain and the natural re
sources. It demands one of Secretary Lane's suggested "treaty
agreements."
