ALASKA DAILY EMPIRE * Published by the EMPIRE PRINTING COMPANY JOHN W. TROY, Editor and Manager. Telephone No. 3-7-4 Entered u second-class matter November 7, 1912 at the poatofflce at Ju neau. Alaska, under the Act of March 3. 1S79. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: 09* year, by mall $10.00 Six months, by mall 6.00 Per month, delivered 1.00 LOCAL LABOR SITUATION. WHILE Juneau is crowded with idle men and those seeking employment should .not come here just now, it must not be thought that the situation here is unhealthy, or that there is anything of the mushroom order about the town. The long, cold spell that prevailed in January caused a water short age in the mining industry which made it necessary for mining companies to lay off a great number of men. Other work in con nection with mining development was suspended in the late fall until the early spring, causing other men to be laid off for a few of the winter months. In addition to this, men who have heart! of the prosperity of the city have been coming to Juneau on every boat seeking employment that is not here for them. With the opening of spring there will be more work in Ju neau and vicinity than ever before in the history of the city. There will be more than enough, probably, to give employment to all who are here. However, it must not be forgotten that the means of travel have placed Juneau very close to the centers of population in the Coast States, and an over-supply of labor could very easily occur at any time. The United States Smelting and Refining company is going straight ahead with those plans to form a consolidation of Ju neau mining companies and to install another of the great gold mining plants of the world, that are collecting here, in a man ner that causes the residents of this city to indulge in further self congratulation because they are here. WILSON'S DEMOCRACY. WHEN President Wilson said that the President and Congress are not holding office for the purpose of enacting their own ideas into law but for the purpose of honestly trans lating the ascertained will of the people into a working National program he gave a definition to the duties of those acting in a representative capacity that establishes the genuiness of his de mocracy. Many strong men take a different position as to the duties of representatives of the people in a republic. They assert that when a man is chosen to office he is chosen to think as well as to act for those who choose him. Their theory is that the selec tion of men to make laws and execute them is a sifting process that gives the people the right to select their own rulers. They reason that it being impracticable for the people to meet together or to co-ordinate in any effective manner in the affairs of gov ernment that republican form of government was arranged so that they could choose from among their number those to gov ern them. Their contention is that men thus chosen are selected because they possess pre-eminent abilities or genius for govern ment, and that they are selected to carry our their own ideas. This position is consistent with republican government, and it is the plan followed in many of the republics of the world, but it is not the theory of democracy. The advocacy of the demo cratic theory by Jefferson, and its acceptance under Jackson, when the convention and party platform system were put into opera tion. caused this country to be designated by economists and by statesmen, as Lincoln, a democratic republic. The ascendency of democracy caused the Republican party founded by Jefferson to become the Democratic-Republican party before his retirement from the Presidency, and, later, the Democratic party. The lat-; ter name was selected by the party in convention assembled at the suggestion of Jackson when the first party platform was pro mulgated so that people could vote for measures rather than men. However, the Hamilton-personal-agency theory of govern ment has never been without advocates in our country, and for a few decades it became so strong that people came to say that party platforms were made to get into office on rather than to serve as working programs after election. The failure of the party platform under this regime caused the introduction of the initiative, referendum and recall in many States?or the appli cation of more democracy as a cure for the ills of a democracy. The democratic movement that brought forth the initiative, referendum and recall?the "back to the people" movement? finally resulted in the selection of Wilson for the Nation's head ship. The Republican party of Lincoln was a democratic party, but the democratic theory of government was necessarily abandoned; owing to the exegencies of the war that prevailed during his ad ministration. They were retained in a state of suspension by those of the Hamilton-personaf-agency school, who came to dom inate that party, down until this latter day triumph of democracy. But now there is no doubt but that the people have returned ' to the democracy of Jefferson and Jackson and Lincoln. This country is again a democratic-republic . That is what Wilson meant when he said that it is the duty of the administration to translate into law the ascertained will of the people. Chairman Houston exercised the traditional eloquence of a blue grass orator in behalf of Alaska, but his facts came from one who knows just the same. WILL HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE NEXT MONDAY J. Pulata Poletich, a native of Mon tenegro. was scheduled to make final proof for citizenship in the district court yesterday afternoon, but he has not yet been annexed to America's army of voters. The distritc attor ney's office objected to the testimony of S. J. Mandich. one of applicant's witnesses, being considered in the mat ter. The court continued the hearing until Monday of next week.
