ALASKA DAlLY;; EMPIRE Published by the EMPIRE PRINTING COMPANY JOHN W. TROY, Editor and Manager. Telephone No. 3-7-4 Entered as second-class matter November 7. 1912 at the postofflce at Ju oeau. Alaska, under the Act of March 3. 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Q?e year, by mall 810.00 Six months, by mall :? 5.00 Per month, delivered .- 1.00 OLD STYLE POLITICS DISAPPEARS. EVIDENCE of the disappearance of the old style of partisan politics in the alfairs of the Nation was forthcoming the other day at Washington under circumstances that would have been regarded as peculiar a few years ago. The sub-commit tee of the Senate, to which was referred the matter of the ap pointment of Frank P. Glass, editor of a Birmingham newspaper, by Gov. O'Neal, of Alabama, as United States Senator from his State to succeed the late Senatpr Joseph F. Johnston, filed ma jority and minority reports. The Democratic members of the committee, notwithstanding that the Democratic majority in the Senate is slender, reported against seating Glass, a Democrat, holding the new constitutional amendment deprives a Governor of authority to make such appointments where the Legislature of his State has not previously conferred that power upon him. The opposition members of the committee, Senators W. 0. Brad ley. of Kentucky, and Senator Moses P. Clapp, of Minnesota, re ported in favor of giving Glass, the Democrat, the seat. The question will now be acted upon by the Senate, as a whole, and there is none who does not believe that the matter will be decided in accordance with the Senator's conception of the intent of the law and constitution. The activity of the city authorities and the steamship com panies to relieve the fuel situation at Juneau is commendable. Juneau will be prepared to meet the emergency if another cold snap should visit us this year. DEMOCRATS CONTEST IN WASHINGTON. ECHOES of the marshaling of the hosts for another contest in the Democratic primaries in Washington State along the same lines of that which occurred in 1912 are coming up the coast. In the last battle the progressive element of the party, tho>e who supported the pre-convention candidacy of Woodrow Wilson, won a signal and sweeping victory. This year those who opposed the nomination of Wilson and were disappointed at the outcome of the Baltimore convention will, according to the ad vices that come North, rally round the standard of former Sena tor George Turner in a fight for the Democratic Senatorial nomin ation. Opposing Turner will be the original Wilson men, that in cludes the party organiation which is made up of those who won so handsomely two years ago in the State primaries. The indications now are that Mayor George F. Cotterill, of Seattle, will be the candidate of the progressive Democrats against Turner. However, Hugh C. Todd, chairman of the Dem ocratic State committee, and Judge W. W. Black, of Everett, who won the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1912, only to be disqualified by a decision of the supreme court, have an nounced their candidacies. Both of them are progressives. The adoption of a State religion by the Republic of China in dicates that the Orientals have a good way to go yet before they reach the Occidental ideal of a free country. LAW AND ORDER IN ALASKA. THE regard of the people of Alaska for law and order and the confidence the people repose in their neighbors was dem onstrated at St. Michael's at the close of navigation last fall in a conclusive manner. The river steamer Herman was caught in the freeze-up 75 miles from St. Michael's. The passengers and the crew of the steamer were successful in getting to St. Michael's in time to catch the last boat for Seattle, but the y were com pelled to leave their baggage and much of the gold the steamer was carrying on board. It was left there with a single guard for several weeks, and, notwithstanding that the facts were known near and far up and down the Yukon, there was none to fear for the safety for the great quantity of gold or for the baggage left behind. In good time the precious cargo was transferred to St. Michael's and it will be sent out to the owners on the first boat in the spring. The President's Presbyterianism is working fine.
