The Associated Prt rs Is exclusively entitled to the use for repuhllcation of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise cri dHed in this paper «•'* also the local news pub lished herein. rnmn.ATioN guaranteed to be more than noirm.E that of ant other ai.aska n_:whpapfr. i --f*| I I cp ; An evasive platform is not -always a cowardly platform nor is it always opportunistic; Often a platform must he evasive if the jjSUwtform-inakers arc honest. It is not nearly as jowardly or opportunistic to evade a question concerning which there is a division of party sentiment as it is to make promises' which those who make the plaiform Jinow cannot j he carried into effect or for .jjie purpose of getting voice. . s •* f t The dispatches toll us that thoi^tepulilicans will not declare in favor of the Mellon plan nl4 taxation i ot in favor of the President's World Court plan, and j that it will evade differences of opinion on many) other points. Hew could It do' otherwise? There art differences of opinion among the Republicans. If a direct promise were made, on some of th&se mooted questions there is little hqpe that the promise' could be fulfilled. A parly is unfortunate, perhaps,' when sentiment has not so crystaljzod on these paintsl that a direct and specific declaration cannot bo! honestly made, but when such a condition exists; there is nothing to do but to-support general prin-; clplos and wait for tho crystalization beforo making definite promisoe. The Ifomocratic convention will lie in a position oven more difficult than the Republican convention on many things. In fact the Republican platform will be the record of its Administration, executive and legislative, no matter what resolutions may pass tho Cleveland convention. On the other hand the Democratic Party has been out ‘ of power, and the temptation to put things In its platform to catch I votes will tie inviting to those jy ho might he over zealous for victory at the , polls. The Democratic j platform-makers should not promise too much. They I should bear in mind the experiences of President i Harding who cam© into power as tho chosen leader; of so many antagonistic elements, which wore welded by clever ipolitical managers, for tho purposes of a! single campaign. Into one organization, that per-j formanco according to promise was out of the- ques tion. Tho platform should be simple, clear-cut, con sistent and constructive and should not be halted with premises, impossible of fulfillment, for the pur pose of trapping votes. Political parties should, of course, declare their position* Ott the big issues of the day, and on those they should make tho declarations'so dear that thei noaning could not be mistaken. But purpose and tbillty to translate national platforms Into legisla tion should always be taken into account. TRYING TO SAVE THEIR FACES. Possibly for face-saving purposes, at any rate for tome purpose. Delegate Sutherland and the Hearst japeis are endeavoring to magnify the importance yt the provision In the Alaska fisheries law which prohibits the issuance of special permits for fishing —the guarantee, they call it, of the "free right of fishery.” They have even gone so far as to say that that provision lias smashed the "fish trust,” what ever that is. Very well. If they want to think well of that provision there is no harm in it. However, it was a comparatively unimportant matter. The canneries ivero not particularly concerned about it, and doubt less the Bureau of Fisheries is glad to bo relieved if the responsibility its assumption of the issuance if permits involved. The idea behind the permits that were issued was to prevent the loss that would follow over preparation for fishing in an area whero the fish catch was to be limited. It was designed as much, perhaps more, for the protection of the In dividual fishermen as anything else. If 100 fisher men should get their gear and boats and go into a field to fish whero the limit of the catch would make it so that but ten could fish at a profit it wgs thought It would bo a good thing to limit the number of fishermen so that the others could save their time and money by going some place or doing ‘■omething that would give thorn a chance to make a profit from their time and investments. Under the law as it passed the Secretary of Com merce can establish reserves just as were established by the Presidential proclamations and provide regu lation*; for fishing in them, limit the number of fish that may be taken from them or prohibit fishing in them completely. But any number of fishermen may go into those reserves and fish within tae limitations provided. If so many go in that none of them will profit from limited fishing, that is their look out. As far as the canneries are concerned that sort of an arrangement may make their packs less costly than though the number of fishermen in any area was limited through the issuance of permits. Triumph in Disaster. (New York World.) The French at home, like the French Consol in , Shanghai, will weep a little over the crashing down of Capt. Pelletier d’Oisy'a plane and the ending of his mad, sublime effort to fly alone from Paris to Tokio. And then the French at home, and the Con sul at Shanghai, and Capt. d’Oisy too will shrug their shoulders and turn to something else. "C'est la vie!" they will say. The feat was dashing in conception and in finish, but to be dashing is to be French. Beneath the bril liant indifference to danger and obstacle, however, is I ho quiet dauntlossness which the French nation in 11)14 revealed to a world which had been fed with tlie notion that Paris was tlie centre of a decadent civilization. Every Frenchman went about his war business with most extraordinary and un complaining spirit. There wero not enough type writers to go round, so division and corps command ers calmly wrote out their business in longhand. During that first winter on the Somme, when even the vaunted German stolidity broke under the fierce pangs of increditlble hardship, the Gallic Are burned steadily. Each Frenchman looked out for himself and up to bis supeior officer, but the French spirit recognized no rank in suffering. Thus the d’Oisy exploit goes normally Into a long list of French achievements of the same sort; and an admiring world notes again a spirit in ad venture and a philosophy in defeat which Julius "aesar was the Arst to record.
