ALASKA DAILY 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 poet office at Ju neau. Alaska, under the Act of March 3. 1879. . SUBSCRIPTION RATES: year. by mall 310.00 Six months, by mall 5.00 Per month, delivered 1.00 PEOPLE WILL NOT STAMPEDE. THE people of Juneau should not, and we believe they will not, permit loose talk about the packing of juries or other manner of misconduct on the part of those who are serving the public to stampede them. They should not, and we believe they will not. impeach the good intentions or capabilities of men whom they know as well as they know those who are serving them in the various branches of government here until they have facts upon which to base their judgment. We have great faith in the ability and disposition of Ameri can people to judge fairly and accurately when they know all the facts. We also believe that they are not nearly so easily fooled as to the facts as some people seem to think. Too many genera tions of them have lived in a time when the court of last resort is the average citizen. There have been times, however, when people have done in justice usually because they were misinformed. Men are some times too busy or too careless to go to the bottom of things. They depend upon newspapers for their information. For that reason, the first duty of a newspaper is to publish the news as it is?to give in plain language, such as all may understand, the truth about actual occurrences. If the people have the evidence they can draw their own conclusions and pub lish them. This does not mean that a newspaper should not form conclusions and publish them. It does not mean that a newspaper should not speculate upon probable and possible causes and re sults of the doings of men. but the statement of the facts as they are and the speculations, surmises and imaginings should not be confused or comingled in such a way that readers cannot dis tinguish between them. People have passed the fire alrm period in the development of the new order. They are in the constructive period. They are not tearing things to pieces so much as they are setting the House in order, and they know pretty well who is helping them in their task and who is simply making a noise. NOT JUST CORRECT. IN ANOTHER column is an editorial from the New York World in which it says that the government railroad in Alaska is being built because it is a case of Government or Guggenheim. It says the question is whether the State that will be created in Alaska will be a Guggenheim State or a free State. That is not just correct. The fact is that it has become a case of a Government railroad or no railroad at all. The Gug genheims say they do not contemplate and have not contemplated for a long time any further railroad building in Alaska. Nor would any one else build a railroad under conditions as they are. The suggestion that the Government railroad is to be built that Alaska may become a free State instead of a Gpggenheim State is also far-fetched. The people of the West have shown that they can take care of themselves against the Guggenheims or any body of capitalists or would-be-monopolists when they have the powers of government in their hands. It is true that there was a time when California was a Huntington State, and when combinations of railroad and other interests owned Washington, Oregon and other Western States, but that time has gone. The people of Alaska are not afraid but that they can take care of themselves when they shall have become so numerous as to be given the right of Statehood. What they want is the' development that will hasten the day when they will have a State government through which to take care of themselves. That is why they want the government railroad. The Washington Evening Star thinks the United States Sen ate too slow a place for either Col. Roosevelt or Col. Bryan. If both were there at the same time, perhaps the Senate would not be so slow. _ RESTORING FREE GOVERNMENT. ? WHEN the House of Representatives voted to investigate the mining strikes in Northern Michigan and Colorado it set on foot an inquiry of much wider scope. Congress has no particular duty relative to local labor conflicts, but by the Consti tution of the United States it is charged with the duty of guaran teeing "to every Sate in this Union a republican form of govern ment." The recent troubles in Michigan and Colorado, like those of a year ago in West Virginia, have revealed issues political and governmental that were more important than any that pertained solely to industry. A despotism by mine-owners is as hateful as one that rests upon military exploits. The man in a distant count ing room may be as tyrannical as the man on horseback. A Senate committee's inquiry in West Virginia put an end to abuses there that ought to be impossible in a Republic. Pro ceeding with equal vigor, the House committee should score sim ilar triumphs for free government in two other States. The Chinese crew of a British steamer that mutinied over a question of politics must have thought it was sailing through Kansas. Now that Japan has discovered the tango, it will not have much time to worry about its treaty rights in the United States. Y. M. C. A. TO LOOK |i OVER ALASKA FIELD ? - > The International Y. M. C.
