Alaska, under the Act of March 1879. VOTING GROUCHES Hundreds of voters cast their ballots for Dele Kate Wlckersham biennially not because of anything that he stands for but becuuse they are against sorne l?ody. and a vote for Wlckersham is a vote aginst everybody. Dozens of voters admit this frankly when speaking of the subject. They will tell you that Seuator Sulzer N a splendid Alaskan, a man of fine abilities, that he stands for all that is best In Alaska?all that is best In progressive, optimistic, forward-looking Alaska--that he would make an ex cellent representative in Congress- of those who are seeking to develop the Territory?fo develop its re sources. its government and its civilization?but only . through the election of Wlckersham can this man or that be properly punished. One man will say that he hates Shackleford. therefore lie must vote for j Wlckersham: another that this or that Democrat lias kept a Republican in office here or there, there fore he must vote for Wlckersham to punish that tuan: another fear.-, that Hughes will win, and if so. Wickershani. if elected might prevent this or that man front getting this or that office; another feels that the wrong Democrat got this or that office and the onyly way he can express his displeasure is to sup port Wlckershaut. "I know." such a man will say. "that if we forget the past and look at the contest solely upon the interest of Territorial development now and in the future that we should elect Sulzer. but ?" In other words, we liave hundreds of voters who are facing the past with its disappointments, defeats, heart-burniugs. unsettled scores, and no requited de sires for vengeance. They vote their grouches. To these men It is fair to say that they cannot ] help to settle Alaska problem- as long as they continue to face backward. It is fair to sa> that thej cannot perform their full duties as citizens until they turn about and face the future?the rising instead of the setting sun. They cannot be as useful they should be to themselves, their families, their communities, their Territory or their country until they learn the truth in the sage's advice to "let the dead past bury its dead." The only settlement of old scores Is to forget them in active public spirited ; work for the preseut and active public spirited prep aration for the future. The man who spends his ] time puttering with the past can contribute nothing toward progress. He has no time for initiation. He i becoming too old for useful purposes, no matter how few may be his years. SO YOUNG ARK \VK The celebration of the birthday of Mrs. Kmily Beuubieu I-a Beau, a daughter of Mark Bcaubien. who was so intimately associaed with Chicago's humble be gainings a century ago. is a fresh testimonial of the am.uiug youth of this the fourth city in the world. | Within this one woman's long memory stretches t lie development of all that wo know a? Chicago. What a marvelous experience it has been! What phil osopher or poet could richly have iinagiued the great | things which time so swiftly unfolded in the sight | of this pioneer's child? One human life compasses it all. Chicago, the frontier village, the insignificant set- j tlenient of log houses at the mouth of a sandy river, uncouth, meaningless, charming only to the curious iraveler^ who in the early years of the lust century had learned to appreciate the luxurious beauty of the wild flowers of the prairies. The howl of the gray wolf was not an unfamiliar sound on the banks of the Chicago river when Emily Beuubrien first gazed on the sand hills and marshes of the future city. The gray wolf has gone and over his old hunting j ground invention, art. science and industries have piled up their overwhelming miracles until we have ? the great city, a Mecca to millions from the round world. Ane one woman has seen it all. the creation.: the splendor, the tragedy, perchance the promise of the modern world. Truly a great gift was this, un matched in any other epoch of the history of men. The evolution of America's second city and the world's fourth, all within a single lifetime, also revears how young is the Great West aud how wonderful the history of its development! Judge Murnne urges the votcra of Washington to | support "Gadfly" Humphrey for United States Senator front Seattle as a friend of Alaska. It Is noticeable, however, that he did not give a bifl of particulars nh to what constitutes the friendship. As between Hum phrey and Potndextef, so far as Alaska Is concerned. It is time, in the worda of Joe MediU. "to take to the woods." One has never done anything worth while for Alaska and the otho* as the leading Plnchotlte of the west, has done all that he could to Alaska. While we still hear an occasional Republican pa per say that "Wilson must no defeated," Republicans In the Senate and House of Representatives continue to give a majority of their votes for the administra tion measures?whether they concern domestic affairs or foreign. Then_why defeat Wilson? AMERICAN NEUTRALITY VINDICATED (New York World 1 As a lesson In neutrality, the appearance of a German submarine merchantman in an American har bor is as important as the achievement in construc tion and navigation. The errand of this undersea blockade-runner proves the falsity of all that the Junker press of Germany and Its sntelltes In this country have said as to the nature of our traffic with Great Britain. France and Russia The Deutschland arrives with a small but val uable cargo of dyestuffs. It Is said that she will re turn with nickel and rnbber, commodities sorely need ed In Germany. If conditions were such us to make it desirable that she should carry firearms and explos ives. there would be no interferrence with such u shipment One submarine merchantman has therefore put to rout the whole international claque which for months has maliciously misrepresented the attitude- of the American government and people. If others come, as is the promise, the demonstration will be continuous. Under water or on the water, the vessels will be en gaged in lawful traffic at their own risk. The fact that British control of the sen compels Germany to resort to small submersibles instead of using its great liners is not our fault: it is Germany's misfor tune. Neither are we to blame If Britain's blockade proves a failure as against undersea commerce: that would be Germany's good fortune. In this case well earned. t???TTnitail ^tntiK ill. i rro-uerman propaganda m mc vunu l -- , mom persuaded Congress at one time to relinquish our right to the sea. .Most of the Republicans In both ! Houes actually went on record at a time when the Administration's diplomatic victory in the submarine! matter was practically won. in favor of warning! Americans not to travel 011 belligerent ships. An important element favored an embargo upon all war supplies. To have withdrawn protection front Americans at sea would have been to encourage on Germany's part the lawless use of such naval power as It "possesses. To have placed an embargo upon munitions would have been a shameful surrender of a sovereign right, and it would have amounted to a violation of neutral ity. which might have led to war. Moreover, if these mistaken policies had prevailed, the heroic voyage of the Deutschland would have been in vain. It is here for the sinews of war. just as the British. French and Italian liners are. With an em bargo in force it would go home light so far us such commodities are concerned. Instead of meeting an embargo, it enters an open market, in our waters it i.- under our protection. On its departure, like any other belligerent, it must look out for itself and its purchases. The just and determined attitude of the United States did much to stop the misuse of submarines. The true neutrality of the United States will operate powerfully to encourage their legitimate operation in commerce as well as in war. In this, Germany itself is likely to find a respectable triumph after what at first seemed to be defeat and humiliation. it is the difference between massacre and mer chandising. between savagery and civilization. THE APPEAL TO INDEPENDENTS (New York World > Though as yet a skeleton organization, the Wilson Independent League represents in its published views a strong element among those footloose voters who decide Presidential elections. As a manufacturer. Charles H. Jones calls the Federal Reserve laiw "one of the greatest acts of con structive statesmanship" in this generation. As a Wis-i cousin editor. Richard Lloyd Jones admires a Presi dent who "is little affected by alarmists." Paul Ful ler. Jr.. lawyer, notes that he has handled "with infin ite patience and ever-ready tact" the radical prejudices arising out of war in Europe. Jacob H. Schiff. banker, goes straight to "Presi dent Wilson's greatest accomplishment" that "he has in a greut measure succeeded in bringing about a re approchement between the producing and the consum ing classes, so that the great and hurtful antagonism" between them in formy years "has not almost en tirely ceased." A firm hand on sedition, currency panics made im possible. the rights of Americans, native and natur alized. upheld abroad, an industry policy of fair play and restoration of "the Republic which is Opportunity" what wonder that the President and the platform alike appeal to intelligent Independents? it is a wonder, to Judge from the number who are seeking commissions, that somebody hasn't thought to raise a couple of regiments of Colonels.
