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
