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.
For the ibenoflt of many citizens it may be as
serted that when trade reports speak of "gin mPls,”
■liey mean places where cotton is taken and not
:x>9t loggers' joints.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
When Herrlot becomes Premier le expects to do
lie impossible; he will collect the Indemnity and win
rfcutonlc love.—(Philadelphia Record.)

The fisherman is one of the mainstays of the commercial
life of this community. Engaged In an essential industry, bold
and hardy of limb, he labors in all sorts of weather drawing
his catch from the cold depths of nearby waters. Alaska fish finds
its way to the table of many nations and the wealth given in
exchango Is invested in our local fishing fleet and homes. The
prosperity of the fisherman's home is Juneau’s prosperity.
For a third of a century this bank has assisted financially
in the steady growth of the commerce in fish. It takes pride in
the success of the many fishermen who make ‘ Bohrcnds Bank”
