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. "What is
to happen will happen." if Wilson says it will.
