ALASKA DAiLY EMPIRE] Telephone No. 3-7-4 JOHN W. TROY, Editor and Manager. Published by the EMPIRE PRINTING COMPANY Entered as secoad-cl&ss matter November 7. 1912 at the postofflce at Ju neau. Alaska, under the Act of March 3. 1S79. SUBSCRIPTION RATE8: Qy* year. by mall * $10.00 Six months, by mall 6.00 Per month, delivered 100 LESSON IN GOVERNMENT. THE seriousness with which the people of Great Britain have taken up the question of feder ating the Kingdom should make New Nationalists in the United States sit up and take notice. The United King dom. having an area smaller than the average Western American State, is discovering that there are many local questions that should be handled by local legislative bodies rather than by. Parliament that is so far removed from those most concerned. If that is true in Great Britain how much greater is the need of permit ting State and Territorial legislatures control matters that concern lo-; calities and individuals more than Na tional affairs in the United States j where the area is more than 40 times greater than that of the United King-1 dom! But that Is the experience of the world. Canada has ten local legisla tures; Australia, six; South Africa, four; Germany, 26: Austria-Hungary. 17. and so on. The tendency is to give the local legislative bodies great er power and to make the authority of the Federal government more gen eral. People are discovering that there cannot be self-government unless the people have within their own hands the governmental machinery. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, speak- ? ing of Underwood's campaign for the United States Senate, says "he broke with the administration over the Pan ama canal tolls question." That is not the fact. Underwood has never, broken with the administration. He< voted against one of its measures, but he has been and is a strong supporter of the administration. The Underwood men were the next after Bryan to break to Wilson at Baltimore, and they have been with him ever since that time. IS HE "FIGHTING A GOOD FIGHT?" THE Seattle Times justifies its sup port of Congressman Humphrey in his attacks on the President | on the ground that he is "fighting a good fight for his State" in the shingle tariff and the Panama canal tolls mat-! ters. For argument's sake let's accept this j sordid standard for measuring a Con gressman. Is Humphrey "fighting a good fight for his State?" He is attempting to discredit?by saying things about it that he knows are not true and that the Times knows are not true?an administration that has provided for the opening of Alas ka; that has taken steps to provide safety for navigation on the North Pa cific; that is introducing sane methods of handling the public lnnds of the West, and that is bringing govern | ment which had been purloined by bu reaus back to the people. He is try ing to discredit this administration so that the people may return a political party to power that introduced chaotic conditions into tho administration of the public domain and brought stagna tion to Alaska. Seattle and tho whole Pacific coast. He is doing his utter most to restore to power in Washing ton a political party that dodged the solution of the currency question, the tariff question and the Alaska question for a decade. Is this good work for the State of Washington? Is tho Times helping Alaska and Seattle in giving Hum phrey support? The tenacity and ability that have been displayed by Huerta during the last year but emphasizes the enormity of the crime which resulted in his be coming provisional President of Mex ico. If he had remained loyal to the late President Madero, and given him the support that patriotism demanded and such as he has proved that he was capable of giving. Mexico's troubles would probably have been over long ago. INTEREST OF THE OPPOSITION. MEDILL McCORMICK. Chicago newspaper man and warrior at Armageddon, shouts in tones of glee: "The tolls question has destroyed Democratic harmony. There is a rift in the Democratic lute. The phalanx that swept the tariff and cur-: rency laws into the statute books is broken." That's it. There is the in-: terest of the opposition in the tolls question. The American flag perish-, ing from the sea! Surrendering Amer ican sovereignty over the American' made canal! They care not for these hollow phrases, except to use them as barriers with which to stay progress under a Democratic administration, and undermine a popularity that stands between Armageddon fighters and suc cess at the polls. The general wel fare sinks into significance, so far as the opposition to the administra tion is concerned, when compared with securing the offices and the pow er that goes with election victories. The addition of Eagle river to the pro ducing sections of the Juneau quartz gold mining region recalls that Juneau ?I would soon become a great raining | center oven If the big properties upon: which its fame rests were eliminated. Promising mines of this vicinity fair ly surround tho city. NEED OP PUBLIC LIBRARY. NOW that the election is ovor and the new munlclpul administra tion Is fairly launched and spring work is getting under way It would be well for the people to give attention to tho establishment of a public library. Tho Draper Club did not state the need for such an insti tution too strongly. A public library is a necessity In Juneau. It will bo impossible properly to educate tho ris ing generation without one. Let us have a good library for a year and ev erybody will wonder how we managed to go on so long without It. Those newspapers and others that are trying so hard to discredit tho ad ministration are playing with Ore. Think what It would mean to tho West j if the next President were another) Taft or a New Nationalist! j STEWART RIVER IS DISTRICT OF PROMISE One of the most promising districts In the Yukon Territory Is that of tho upper Stewart. For years it has sus tained a population of industrious prospectors and trappers. The men at last are being rewarded for their patience and persistence, and are uncovering pay placers and rich ledges. The several silver and gold-bearing quartz properties promise to make the upper Stewart one of the most produc tive regions of the territory. The ship ments which will be ready this spring are significant. The locality promis es to yield a steady and permanent tonnage for summer shipments. The placers also may bo expected to be worked on a moro extensive scale soon. The territorial government will make no mistake in lending generous aid to the opening of the upper Stew art. The best way to make tho aid general and evenly distributed will be to afford good roads. It is to be hoped the council at the session next month will not overlook the upper Stewart, and that the members will manifest tholr appreciation of the en ergetic mon there and faith In the fu ture by voting a sum sufficient to provide the first-class roads tho dis trict so long has needed.?Dawson Nows.
