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 postofflce at Ju neau. Alaska, under the Act of March 3. 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Ore year, by mall J10.0C Six months, by mall S.0( Per month, delivered IOC DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY AND DUTY. THE FAIRBANKS CITIZEN says, all things being equal, the "Dele gate to Congress from Alaska should b.- a Democrat." True: and It could have added that, all thiugs be ing equal, the Legislature of the Ter ritory should be in political sympathy with the Delegate, the Governor, and the National administration. It could have said, also, that it is more es sential that the Delegate and the Leg islature should spell their democracy with a little "d" than it is that they should spell it with a big "D." We believe that the majority of the electorate of Alaska is in a large measure Independent and not disposed to attach itself hard and fast to politi cal organizations, yet we believe the people of the Territory are democratic to the core. We believe they are firm believers in the democracy of Presi dent Woodrow Wilson. We believe that, all things being equal, they would rather vote for a Democratic admin istration in this Territory that would be in harmony with the National ad ministration than for anything else. But the voters of Alaska stand for progress. Their eyes are toward the future. The slogan of the late David B. Hill. "I am a Democrat." will not satisfy them. They will cast their votes with those who offer the pro gram that appeals to them most. K the Democrats of Alaska?mem bers of the political party of Wilson, and Bryan, and Lane, and Underwood and Chamberlain, and Houston and th' others who have done so much for the Nation aud for Alaska in the last year?ucsirc jnuic mi y that the people of the Territory are r? ady to give them they.must prepare to serve Alaska better than anybody else or any other organization can serve it. They must make it plain that they stand for progress here just as ih. National leaders stand for pro gr- ss in the Nation. The people of Alaska, if we mistake not. are ready to abjure mud-throwing and to let those who desire to fight and bicker over personalities and ani-i moslties and matters and things that have no connection with the future.' continue their course, if they wish, j unhampered of public duties. They are ready to give support to a workable constructive program for their Terri tory -a program such as will prepare Alaska to become a commonwealth commensurate with the foundations: that are being laid by the National government ? a commonwealth in ? \V which the people shall rule. 1 The situation in Alaska demand's th< application of those democratic ;t principles of government that lie at a the foundation of the Democratic |( party. It demands that the people of the Territory must be placed in con trol of their own affairs. It demands a wider?a far wider?measure of self- j government. It demands a primary: !? ction law and everlasting rest for I ? inventions made up of a few men 1 gathered from widely separated sec- k ' ns of the Territory. It demands alfj comprehensive road building scheme g in which Territory and Nation may w co-operate under Secretary of the In- tj terior line's "treaty" plan. It de-; y mands all of these and many kindred L| things that the people will insist that'a those to w hom they give support must I a stand for. ol Democrats should consider the Ter- g ritory first and last. Let them pre- J tl pare a program of progress, and per- tl mil who will engage in the game of w personal politics. Let them deserve h; success and the pooplo will support, t< them. 1C LIVING IN A GLASS HOUSE. THE MESSAGE delivered to Con gross not long since by Presi dent Wilson on the Panami tolls question indicates that the dis covery that our foreign affairs de partment has been living in a glast house has hampered the movement for the higher diplomacy that Presi dent Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan have attempted to Inaugurate. The New York World presents the conditions that have risen to embar rass the administration in this way: While we have made progress late in adjusting disputes at home, for many years we have been laying up wrath against the day of wrath abroad. We "took" Panama from Colom bia, and the whole of Latin Amer ica is suspiciously awaiting our action in the way of redress. We hurriedly denounced our treaty with Russia and have made no ser ious move to negotiate another. We entered into a solemn com pact with Great Britian to admit to the Panama Canal on equal terms the ships of all nations, and then broke faith by giving a pref erence to our own coastwise ves sels. As misrepresented by Cali fornia. we have irritated Japan, with no prospect as yet of a bet ter understanding. All these are evils front the Roosevelt and Taft administra tions. If it were not for these world wide complications, all of our own creation and all unnecessary, the problem which we have to solve in Mexico would be much less for midable. That is purely an Ameri can question with which no oth er country would wish to inter fere if our policies generally were just and reasonable and in harmony with our high profes sions. As It is, there can be no doubt that the perils of that situ ation reflect more than the hos tility of a local despot. We have too many quarrels on our hands. We are too indiffer ent to the good opinion of our neighbors. We are not scrupu lously faithful to our treaty obli gations. We are boastful and at times menacing. Is it surprising that the President, carrying the burden of these broils, should plead for adjustments in keeping with the honor of the Republic? If Alaska is to live up to its oppor unities there should be more team rork and less quarreling; more build lg up and less tearing down; more lirness and less small politics; more ttention to constructive, affirmative nd progressive plans and policies and ?ss mud throwing. ONE PROTECTIONIST SEES ERROR. BENEZER J. HILL, who repre -i sented the Fourth Connecticut district in Congress for many ears before he was swept out of of ce by the Democratic victory in that tate, is a manufacturer of locks as ell as a banker and various other lings which it takes money to be. iliile in Congress he was one of the trongest advocates of protection mong all the Nation's law makers, nd was want to predict the coming f panic, famine and disaster, if a sin le pebble should be removed from le high tariff wall that surrounded le country. Yet the other day he as forced to admit that maybe he ' ad been wrong after all. His fac iries are working more men and rnger hours than ever before.
