ALASKA DAILY EMPIRE JOHN W. TROY, Editor and Manager. Published by the EMPIRE PRINTING COMPANY Enured as socond-class matter November 7. 1912 at the postofflce at Ju aeaa. Alaska, under the Act of March S. 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: toe rear, by mall $10.06 Six months, by mall 5.00 Per month, delivered 1.00 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.
