RESURRECTION OF JOHN H.
HUGHES.
SOMETIME ago Alaska newspap
ers. among them The Empire,
received a dispatch saying that
"John H. Hughes, the well known Al
aska mining man." was dead. One
and all took it for granted that the
Hughes inferred to was the man who;
was promoting the Totatlanika water]
power plant, who had been interested
in the Bonniefleld country at one
time, and before that in Dawson and
Fairbanks docks and warehouses, riv
er transportation and merchandising.
Responding to profuse obituaries that
were printed. Mr. Hughes has written]
asking that he be given another
chance for his life, promising that he
will make good use of it it it is grant-!
ed him again.
The John H. Hughes that died at
Seattle was connected with mining in
terests in Fairbanks a few years ago,
and while well known In that commun
ity. he was not so generaly acquaint
ed throughout the North as the John
H. Hughes who is now asking that he
be permitted to resume his earthly
activities.
The many friends of John H.
Hughes, who at one time was one of
the most prominent figures along the
Yukon and its tributaries, will not be
slow to grant his request to live some
more. There was no malice in the of
fence that was committed against him.
The papers killed him with deep re
gret. and the resurrection will be ac
companied with supreme satisfaction.
May he live long and continue to be a
source of delight to all the far flung
hosts who know him. and are glad
of it!
Ten to one that The Colonel's river
is the paramount plank in the next
Progressive platform.
ABUSE OF BRYAN.
ABUSE of Bryan is an industry. It
always was too demonstrative
to be classified as a habit, and
long slnde it ceased to be a mere di
version. From all quarters of the
country, special privilege seekers, big
and littie. are fighting him wiht a
I
zeal that is marvelous. Tho attack |
Is both general In Its character and I
circumstantially specific. One would
think that Bryan had not a friend In
the world to read what is being said
of him In the opposition press.
Why?
Not that he has not made a good
Cabinet officer; not that he has dis
played incompetence as manager of
the foreign affairs branch of the gov
ernment; not that there is anything
ntnlss with his character.
Why. then?
It Is the same old reason. Bryan
today as he has been for twenty years
is the big man on guard for the peo
ple. He is the man In the Cabinet who
is feared most by special interests. He
is the right hand of the President.
With him out of the way th? adminis
tration would be less effective.
It is the same old game. It is the
! eighteen-year-old attempt to cause the
Democratic masses to accept new
leadership. However, the attacks on
Bryan will, in the end, like the past
i products of the anti-Bryan mills, add
to his strength. His position is se
cure. He Is the same Bryan, and his
: leadership is the same leaderhip that
[gave the Democratic party life, a life
; that President Wilson had in mind a
i year ago. when he said:
"We have differed as to measures;
it has taken us sixteen years and more
to come to any comprehension of our
community of thought In regard to
what we ought to do. What I want
to say Is that one of the most strik
ing things in recent years is that with
all the rise and -fall of particular
ideas, with all the ebb and flow of par
ticular proposals, there has been one
interesting and fixed point in the
history of the Democratic party, and
that fixed point has been the charac
ter and devotion and preachings of
William Jennings Bryan." ,
While the United States has her
Huerta and her Colorado, and Great
Britain her Ulster, the English speak
ing people have not a monopoly of
troubles. France still has her Moroc
co and Italy her Mohamedans of Trip
oli, and almost daily there is more
blood being shed on the mediterran
ean slopes than has been spilled at
Vera Cruz. Trinidad and Belfast.
