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.
