Delegate Wickersham's arugment before a committee of Congress in opposition to the Jaw regulating game and fur-bear ing animals of Alaska, which would give a bureau of the Depart ment of Commerce control over the fox farms of the North, and in which the Delegate took rather strong ground in favor of a wider measure of self-government for Alaska, was- speaking by and large, credible, and should receive the endorsement of the thinking people of the North. There is not a question of a doubt but that the fox farms of Alaska are matters that should be un reservedly subject to the regulation of the people of Alaska. The Delegate in this speech, for the first time as far as we have knowledge, gave approval, though somewhat mild in form, of the President's suggestion that Alaska should have a "full Territorial form of government." However, the Delegate, while he exhibited symptoms of hav ing gilmpsed the light of democracy, did not qualify himself as a "progressive Democrat" by a good deal. His declaration that he was somewhat uncertain as to what the President meant by a "full Territorial form of government," and the oft repeated as sertion that we now have that very thing, "with the usual limi tations," weakened the force of the speech. His conclusion that the President meant that we should have a "wider measure of! self-government" than we now have, and his approval of that suggestion, was hopeful but by no means conclusive. Progressive Democracy means progress in democracy, and democracy means government by those governed. There is no half-way station in this program. There is no democracy in any suggestion short of the most complete measure of self-govern ment in Alaska. Anything less is reactionary. The "usual limitations" in our present Territorial form of government are not "usual" by any means. They are so unusual that they were not included in any of the other Territorial or ganic acts. The Delegate used the pharse, apparently, to justify his past, and that is not the way to salvation through pro gressive Democracy. Salvation through progressive Democracy can only be reached through complete repentance. It cannot be gained until the Delegate can see the difference between self government and the form of govrnmnt we now have in Alaska. There is no democracy in a religion that tampers with the gospel of Jefferson and Jackson. AGES OF GENERALS. We often hear it said that the present is a young man's age, but if the meaning is that young men have ursurped the places formerly held by the aged the war in Europe does not justify the saying. There has been but one general to achieve fame in the European War. If we are to except the King of Belgium and the Kaiser's sons, who was under 60 years of age, and he, von Emmich, capturer of Liege, committed suicide. He was 56 years of age. Von Kluck is 68; Von Housen, who recently gave up the com- ' mand of the Saxon army, is 68; Von Heeringen is 64; Yon Einem, ; 61; Von Buelow, 68; Von Moltke, 66; and Von Hindenberg is 67. On the Allies' side, Earl Kitchener is 64; Sir John French 62. The three French generals, Pau Joffre and Galliani, are all ap- i proaching 70. and the Grand Duke Nikolas is 65. The records of American wars and the Napoleonic wars tell; a different story. Washington was 44 when he was given the i command of the Revolutionary army; Jackson was 47 when he ; defeated Wellington's Spanish War veterans at New Orleans; j Harrison was 32 when he won the battle of the Thames; Scott < was 31 at Lundy's Lane; Taylor was 52 when he was made com mander in Florida and subdued the Gulf Indians; Robert E. Lee > was 39 when made chief engineer of Scott's campaign against ? Mexico City and 53 when the Civil War broke out; Fitzhugh Lee was 29 at the battle of Winchester. When Grant captured Vicks burg in 1863, he was 41 years old. Meade, victor at Gettysburg, t was 48; Sherman was 43 and Sheridan was 32. When Stonewall:. Jackson was killed he was but 39. and when McClellan was plac ed in command of the Union forces in 1861 he was only 35. Wellington was 46 when he defeated Napoleon at Waterloo, ' and Napoleon, four months younger than Wellington, had whipp- i ed Europe and crowned himself Emperor of France at 35. Frequently one hears it said that the Democratic party of j the South is conservative and retrotractive rather than progress- v ive. The statement is misleading. The percentage of real pro- v gressives in the South is larger, probably than it is in any other t section of the United States, but in that section both progress- 1 ives and reactionaries are in the Democratic party while in the North most of the reactionaries are in the Republican party and most of the progressives in the Democratic party. The great 1 majority of Southern votes in Senate and House have supported r progressive measures and men since 1896. o If there is an extra session of Congress the responsibility will clearly lie with those Senators who are filibustering on the n ship-purchase bill. All the administration has asked for is a vote on the measure. The filibustered have thus far prevented that. An extra session would cost a great dael of money, and the busi- 1 ness of the country is ripe for an early and long recess of Con gress. However, the majority cannot permit the United States to be run by a minority. The best evidence of Delegate Wickersham's progressive G Democracy would Be the introduction of a bill in Congress a extending a full" Territorial government to Alaska in accordance with the suggestion of President Wilson: ?????????? !i The trouble "with-Austria is that she feels at least four souls ;i "within"her bosom stir, and each, alas I is alien to the other." n j In view of the .difficulties of neutral commerce we don't zr&d"a merchant marine so much as a merchant submarine. ij As a month with neither a ground-hog or a full moon, Feb- ,t ruary, 1$15> is acquiring a wierd meteorological notoriety. t> OLDEST BANK IN ALASKA Established 1891 re incorporat ed 1914 Every service a bank may render is performed by us for our customers cheerfully, promptly and on the very best of terms Savings earn interest here and your cash is always safe. \ - i I Vlce-PrejliJest < ] < G.iUoNaatfJilon ( Cutler ?Mil IM-H-I-H I M IJ I 1 I1111 i I"!"!1'!1M-M-M ?! 1 ?!
