THE CITIZENS’ TICKET.
I. Goldstein, whose candldaey for Mayor of Ju
neau has been announced, Is one of the loading buei
nees men of the city and a wide-awake citizen. He
lias made a rattling goad Councilman anil will HU
the bill for the chief executive position in the
municipality.
All ol those who have announced their candidacies
for membership on the City Council on the ticket
■with Mr. Goldstein are representative business men
of the City. James .1 Conners and William .1. Heck i
have served for the last year on tlhe Council with
credit to themselves and Hie town. Mr. Connors has
served well before in the same capacity. J. Latimer
Gray, who is running for the Council, was Mayor
Robcrtfon’s prcdece, or. He was elected four years
ago by an overwhelming majority, and made good.
Representative II. R. Shepard, lias not been con
nected with municipal government in Juneau, but he
is a pioneer resident of the city, and like others on
the ticket is a progressive and enterprising citizen.
AN APPROPRIATE CEREMONIAL.
Alaskans who have learned to know Col. John C. ,
Cotwals do not have to he told that he earned in
full meaeuro the Distinguished Service Medal that i
lias been conferred upon him. liis work in Alaska 1
has proved his capacity and disposition to render
distinguished service in anything lie undertakes. It '
is very appropriate that the Legislature has seen
fit to make a public matter of the presentation of J
the medal. It giver, the people of this Territory
wluM)i lie has perved so well lor Hie last few years
an opportunily to allow their respect and admiration
for the distinguished army officer.
Every citizen owes Junaeu his vote. It cannot be 1
given unless it is preceded by registration. Register 1
at once and ask your neighbors and friends to
register.
ALL AMERICANS ARE JEFFERSONIAN.
An editorial writer in the States says the Rc- j
publicans of the late years of the eighteenth ceil-j
tury and I he early years of the nineteenth were the
ancestors of the Democrats of today and that the
Federalists of that period were tlie ancestors of the
Republican. i,f this period.
While many historians have made this distinc
tion between tlia present day political parties, aB
they did between tlie Democratic anil Whig parties
of the ante helium days, it is scarcely justified by
the facts. While the remnant, tlie die hards, of the
Federalist Party, those of them still living at the
time, generally soaking, found their way into the
■Whig Party, they were so few in number utter tlie
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe administrations that
it would be more in accord with the tacts to say that
the Whig Party was an off-shoot of the old Repub
lican Party. The Federalist Party went out of exist
ence during Hie Monroe Administration. Its first
•Did only President. John Adams, had long before
become a supporter of Jefferson, and liis son, John
Quincy Adams, afterward President, had been a
Jeffersonian leader for many years and was at that
time Monrco's Secretary of State. Even Hamilton
was leaning more and more toward .1 < ffergon at the
time of his untimely death, and had he lijed, un
questionably be would have been a supporter of
Madison.
" uen ino u nig ral ly was formed tliero remained
a few Federalist 'die hards," mostly located in New
.England, of whom Daniel Webster, who, as a young
Congressman, led the tight against nil appropria
tions to carry on the war of 1812, was the leader.
Hut the life of the Whig Party came to it through
those who were and had been Jeffersonian to the
core. Henry Clay, more than any other individual,
brought i trength and vitality to Iho (organization,
cud he was a born and bred Jeffersonian. He was
the Administration leader in the House of Represen
tatives during the Madison Administration, and was
the leader of the war party there during our second
conflict with Great Ilritatn. The rivalry between
Clay and Jackron more than any other one tiling
caused the formation of the Whig Party. When Old
Hickory beat Clay and Adams out in a contest for
party leadership. an;i Clay, Adams and Iho others,
after failing to popularize the name National Re
publicans. left the old'party and organized the Whig'
Party. Its. rtrength came from the anti-Jackson Jef- j
ferrenian Democrats.
Lincoln, the firs* President of the present day
Republicans, was, a Clay and not a Webster Whig. '
Politically speaking he was a direct descendant of j
Jeffersonianii m. So were Fremont and Chase and (
Bates and Trumbull and ixrgan and nearly all the'i
Republicans cf the Middle West who gave success I'
to the party. Liucoln and other founders of the 1
present Republican Party quoted—Jefferson more than -
any ether American as justification for their political '
course in organizing thoir party.
The fact is that while those who followed Jack- 1
con retained the name the masses had ascribed to f
memlbers of the Republican Party of Jefferson's time a
'—Democrats—the country had accepted Jeffersonian- a
sm us the established foundation of the American
irinciples of government when the division came and
ill parties were democratic and Jeffersonian.
And that is the situation today. Practically all
\merieans, Democrats and Republicans alike, arc
feffersonian. The Federalists arc tew and far
ictween.
There has been no racial conflict between white
uid Indian in Alaska in the past. As Mr. Faulkner
•aid the other day in his statement to the Committee
if tiie Whole in the House, the rights and interests
if the Indians receive exactly the same protection
u the courts and otherwise in Alaska as do the
ights of the whites. Hut if we are to have our
>allot boxes smothered by thousands of votes from
mlcttered and ignorant Indians such feeling will
icvelop without question of doubt.
Senator Chamberlin's memorial asking that the
L< gir.lature convene thirty days earlier should be
idoptcd without an opposing vote. Two weeks
■nrlier than tho time proposed would be better yet if
hat woifld allow lime to canvass the votes, and it
,vould, probably, if tho votes wore canvassed in the
Division where cast.
We cannot conceive how any real friend of the
Maska Indians could think of making them a foof
ja 11 in the game of politics, and that must, inevitably
ic tiie result if those of Whom who cannot read and
.vrite and who have Ho concepticn of the American
■.ystem of self-government are to be allowed to vote.
Practical Help to Boys.
(.Scuttle Post-Intellige-icrr.)
The lads of the Seattle Beys' Club the other
light gave a farewell party to one of their number
ihou't to depart for a good job with a big packing
icmpany in Alaska—a job that he had earned, by
lie way, througlit faithful service in the company’s
iffice in Seattle. This hoy only a few years ago wasj
icmelcss like all other members of this remarkable
Hub.
Get a "Big Brother” of the Elks to take you to
he chtli sonic night and see for yourself a splendidly
iracticai work in building self-reliant, self-support
ng men out of sometimes starving waifs who have
lecn robbed by poverty, death cr other misfortune
it' parents and home.
Tiie Elks, wise in their helpfulness, do no charity
lere—they merely help these boys to help themselves
mil keep their self-respect.
Yukon and Parliament.
(Dawson Ne\ys.)
The opening of the Dominion Parliament within i
he lart few days brings to the fore again the annual ;
luesticn of appropriations by the Federal Government!
n aid of the outlying territories. This problem is one
hat comes up for consideration so regularly that, it j
las became recognized at the seat of government asj
i standing item. The principle of supporting, wholly i
ir in part, outlying regions in their infancy until)
hey arc sufficiently well along to stand on their'
wn feet cbtains with all nations possessing new,
erritorics and undertaking their development. Yukon. I
leing ono of the most remote and yet most richly]
ndowed of the Canadian territorial divisions, deserves
o ho fostered in every way by the Federal Govern
nent. At the same time it is to be remembered
hat the people pionoriug this region are subject to all
he Federal taxon, customs duties and other revenue!
producing measures. Revenues to bo credited to Yu-:
ion, directly and indirectly, are, therefore, no small I
tern, and the mineral weallh which Yukon annually
s producing is adding greatly to the Dominion’s yield
uid wealth and the mining industries here help to]
leate in this Northland a large market for Canadian!
aw and manufactured products of the older provinces'
ind centers.
It will bo good business on behalf of Parliament
ills year to recognize the existence of the large and
apidly growing silver operations of Yukon and the
heady gold yield by making substantial grants to
promote these industries and to help them to ex
jand. To promote those industries and thereby open
:his part of the Dominion to maximum production
Yukon needs large road grants and modern radio
communication more than anything else at this period,
riiere are some other items which parliament might
irrange in favor of this Territory just now, but the
trying need is roads and means' of communication for
tlie unprovided camps. Tills Territory deserves to
have tlie road serving the Mayo camp thoroughly
completed and made lit for heaviest traffe ever.^
month of the year; and the overland roads and roads
serving the gold camp near Dawson would be far
more serviceable and less costly of maintenances if
Mulshed off with modern equipment. This Territory
li l ives a system of permanent trunk roads, the same
is all tlie provinces, and (he beEt and cheapest way
lor the Federal Government to provihe such roads
Is to advance such funds that the roads now open
»’1H he made lasting and form the preliminary links
if the eventual permanent Territorial system.
To make the road work of today lasting and to
;et it for the least possible expenditure the Govern
ment will tie acting) wisely in appropriating sufficient
to buy modern caterpillars and other road equipment
md In giving generous working grants. The sooner
tills is done, tlie sooner will the demand for Yukon j
roads diminish.
Gasoline Not an Autocrat.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Competition against gasoline as a motor fuel is
•ortain In continue for reasons that must be obvious.
From time to time announcements arc made of morel
>>' less successful experiments with various materials.!
but it ie only recently that a specific case of sup- I
planting of the petroleum product by a substitute I
actually was recorded.
It Is generally conceded that alcohol Is to bej
the chief competitor. Alcoholic vapor engines are no
novelties, and heforo the war the production of this
fluid for commercial purposes in Germany was rela-j
lively huge in proportion, its derivation being from
potatoes. Now science is turning to tlie cane fields
aid other sources of sugar yield.
The South African railways have Just awarded
i six months' contract for motor fuel for their
color transport service to a company which makes]
he fluid from a sugar cane distillate, using other
vise waste materials in the stills. It Is furnished at
ho rate of one shilling four pence a gallon, as
igainst a tender of gaeollno at two shillings half
>enny a gallon.
The producers assert that their fluid is 90 perl
tent efficient as compared with gasoline, which!
neuns that, even discounting this figure. It must
to reckoned with in the future. Professional inter
st in the outcome of this trial is widespread, it Pe
ng the largest of its kind and the most trying.
Vliilo the components of the fluid, which is teeh
ically known as "Natalite,” arc not given, it is
urpected that it 13 a "combination of alcohol and a
olatile petroleum product resembling a number of
uch unions compounded in the United States and
!u rope.
What In transcendently important is that the
;ture of the internal combustion engine seems to be
mured by theee continuing experiments to provide
gainst the possible loss of the natural supply. ,
