GOING AND RETURNING OF A
GREAT PARTY
On March 3, 1913, the leading
Democratic journal of the United
States, it is needless to say that we
mean the New York World, printed
a widely read editorial headed: “The
Hocks That Wrecked a Party." It is
not surprising that the World In
veighed against the protective tariff
und exulted over Republican dissen
sion. What is far more striking is
that it should have said:
“Yet this once invincible organiza
tion has a wonderful record of
achievement which its successor must
not belittle. During these sixteen
years, with Democratic assistance it
is true, the Republicans have estab
lished the gold standard, carried on
the war with Spain, kept faith with
Cuba, liberalized the government of
the Philippines and Porto Rico, con-.
structed the Panama Canala, given us
postal savings banks, rural free de- i
livery, the parcel post, new railroad- i
rate laws and enlightened labor laws,
extended to some extent the prin
ciple of international arbitration, and,
during the administration now clos
ing, enforced vigorously for the first
time the civil and erimintl law
against trusts.” Only a short time
before the World had said of Presi
dent Taft: “He has given us the j
greatest supreme court since the
days of Marshall and Story.”
Eight years have almost sped, and
on March 4, 1921, the Republican
party will be represented in the
White House and will control both
branches of congress, the lower by a
• weeping, the upper by a large ma
jority. Can any Republican journal
return the courtesy of the World,
and speak of the great achievements
of the outgoing party?
The one comment that will be
made on the departing Democracy,
the comment that, has been repeat-'
ed a thousand times where the!
Tumulty eulogy has been mentioned *
once is the outcry of Senator Thomas |
Taggart. His sharp censure on the
wild waste, the total neglect of all !
safeguarding of the public exchequer
is the best known speech of any
Democrat within the last few years.
In offeial documents and informal de
fences of the administration there
have been evasions and pretexts, but
these are forgotten. The whole coun-1
try remembers the ‘bitter scorn of
wastefulness expressed by Thomas |
Taggart and Benjamin Tillman, both
of whom had fought many a battle
for the Democratic party when it had
to struggle against odds.
For years to come there will be
praise for the resourceful Garrison
who left the war department in dis
gust, and for the erudite Lansing
who was bullied out of the state de
partment. The best remembered sum
mary of Democratic achievement
from any Democratic source is that of
Senator Newlands: “Our party has
a bad reputation as to keeping its
promises.” These are the things that
are known. One cannot enter the
smallest country newspaper or visit
the most isolated club of either party
without hearing echoes of what lead
ing Democrats have said in chagrin
and disgust over the maladministra
tion that is now about to end. As to
the pretences put forth—the claim
that somehow or other the party
would prevent dumping of (foreign
goods on our shores, the prediction
that dog fish would become the fav
orite food of our people, and the boast
that constant concealment meant
“pitiless publicity”—who has ever
heard these uttered in good faith or
uttered at all save by speakers who
had to say something?
Achievements there have been. The
most noteworthy of all was that the
president who had pledged our ship
ping free passage through the Pana
ma Canal ate his words, and the next
was that the party which declared
for a single term gave its leader a
second one. Mr. Underwood had the
candor to come out and say that his
tariff had not a shred of protection in
it, but ever since there had been a
line of speakers pointing out that
somehow the wage earners would be
guarded from Old World rivalry. We
have had threats of dire penalties for
manufacturers who should reduce
their output under a low tariff, but
nothing came of those menaces.
Less than three months remain of
a regime that has been weighed in
the balances and found wanting. We
no more expect a Republican to eulo
gize the outgoing order of things than
we expect the World to eulogize Bur
leson’s postal management. The re
turning party has no cause to flatter
the one that is soon to depart.
EVERYBODY BOOSTING FOR
HAZELET
In answer to a telegram received by
the Ketchikan Chronicle from Judge
Wickersham that paper wired as fol
lows:
“Replying to your telegram of even
date we wish to advise that when the
candidacy of George Hazelet for gov
ernor of Alaska was announced the
Chronicle endorsed his candidacy, ex
pressing the belief that he was the
most acceptable available man for the
place, which opinion we still hold.’’
The endorsement of George Haze
let of Cordova, for governor of the
territory by Senator J. R. Heckman
gives the Copper river pioneer a big
boost toward his ambitions. Opposi
tion to Mr. Hazelet is directed along
peculiar lines. Hazelet has for many
years been on friendy relations with
tlie largest group of financial inter
ests operating in the territory. That
this friendship has ever been used to
the detriment of the territory is not
charged, but, nevertheless, it is an op
position which must be reckoned with.
Stranger yet, it is the only group of
financial interests which has during
the war period been successful.
The Dispatch has knewn Mr. Haze
let for many years, and during there
years has developed an admiration
for his ability to do things for the
community in which he lives. The
Dispatch has been and is an advocate
of Senator Heckman for governor, but
it is not opposing the aspiration of
George Hazelet, because Hazelet is
among the successful men of the
north. The Dispatch wants a success
ful man for governor of the north, and
if Mr. Hazelet is decided upon by the
Republican organization of Alaska as
the proper man, then the Dispatch
will be ready and willing to give his
administration every assistance in its
power.
The Dispatch has been in every
political fight north for twelve years.
For eight of these years it has leaned
heavily against the Democratic po
litical machine of the territory. Dur
ing these years it has been one news
paper of the territory which has never
used business associations as a wea
pon to attack any man’s political am
bitions. It believes the quilifications
of Hazelet for governor of the terri
tory should be measured by a yard
stick of ability. Mr. Hazelet’s neigh
bors and others throughout the terri
toryq are endorsing him. When men
like Heckman add their personal en
dorsement it places the aspirations of
Hazelet prominently before the terri
tory.—Alaska Dispatch.
THINGS WE THINK
Things Others Think and What We
Think of the Things Others Think.
The man who loves his enemies is a
doggoned litr usually.
The price of the stuff the lawyer,
sells is not based on the cost of pro
duction.
You don’t need a license to kill
time—in fact, no one has any license
to kill time.
It’s a favorite excuse with the de
feated candidate to say that he did it
for advestising.
We all believe in reforms—'the only
trouble is to get someone else upon
whom to start.
Any pretty young girl on trial for a
great crime may as well get ready to
sign a vaudeville contract.
Be sure you’re right—'then act Just
as courteously as if there were a pos
sibility of your being mistaken.
We believe some folks cry hard
times because they don’t want others
to know they are making money.
/A man who made a proposition to
kiss all the good looking women that
appeared upon the streets of a city
was arrested upon a charge
of kissing every woman that he saw.
Quite naturally his defense was that
he couldn’t find any other kind.
MINISTER IS IN
BAD FOR VISIT
WITH SENATOR
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The state department
will ask Julio Bianchi, Guatemalan
minister to the United States, to ex
plain his call Saturday on Senator
Moses to discuss the senator’s resolu
tion regarding Guatemalan affairs.
The department claims the action
of the minister is without precedent
and a violation of international cour
tesy.
The possibility of the United States
asking Senor Bianchi’s recall has
been discussed in some quarters, but
such action is not considered prob
able.
ROASTS PAYNE
AT SALT LAKE
SALT LAKE, Dec. IS (by Associ
ated Press).—Jerome K. Locke, for
mer surveyor general of Montana and
publisher of the Livingston (Mont.)
Post, made a vigorous attack on Sec
retary of the Interior John Rarton
Payne at Saturday's session of the
Western States Reclamation League.
He charged commercialism in the
conduct of the Yellowstone national
park and alleged misrepresentation
of facts in articles given national cir
culation in magazines, and by na
tional park officials.
SHORT RECESS
BY CONGRESS
FOR HOLIDAYS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The house has voted
unanimously to curtail the Christmas
recess and will take up the annual
appropriation bills without delay. Ad
journment will be taken December 23
to meet again the following Monday.
Congressman Johnson, during the
debate on the immigration bill, de
clared the state department has au
thority to declare an emergency and
prevent the dumping of aliens in the
United States. He said the immigra
tion now coming into the country
is the most undesirable in history.
Final disposition to the Johnson
bill to stop immigration is expected
to be determined by a vote today in
the house.
The Johnson immigration bill was
passed by the house late today by a
vote of 293 to 41. Six members pres
ent did not vote.
ARK’ MEMBERS
CHARGED WITH
BOMB OUTRAGE
WASHINGTON, Dsc. 13 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Advices received at
the department of justice say mem
bers of the party on the Soviet
“ark” who were deported from the
United States a year ago have been
implicated in an attempt to place
bombs in the building occupied by
the executive commission of the
Soviet government at Moscow.
stormrMd
HAVOC ALONG
SOUTH COAST
PORTLAND, Dec. 13 (by Associ
ated Press).—Reports from the storm
Saturday night say it swept into
Oregon as far as Pendleton, where
windows were blown in and the roof
torn from a hotel.
At Eugene the wires were tangled,
windows broken and trees blown
down.
More than an inch of rain fell,
from Eureka, Calif., as far north as
British Columbia.
