THE PRESIDENT’S ILLNESS.
The interert of the. Nation is today centred in
the rick bed at Sun Francisco where President Hard
ing lies ill, and from every part of the country pray
ers that his life may lie spared and his services re
tained by the people are ascending. Last night the
physicians In charge of the battle against disease ad
mitted that his condition is serious.
The feeling in Alaska is particularly one of tend
erness for here we realize that the fatigue which has
weakened the resisting powers of (lie Chief Magistrate
of the Nation was caused by his labors In our
behalf.
Let us hope for early news that tho turning point
in the battle lias been reached and that the President
is again on the road to recovery.
THE SAN FRANCISCO EXCURSION.
Juncan was honored yesterday to be the host of
the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce excursion
which is making a forty-five-day tour cf the Alaska
coast. San Francisco, "The City” Jo all old time
Pacific Coast residents, is the one great town of the
Pacific side of the Continental Divide which has the
affection and good will of all citizens of the Far West.
For many decades of the earlier days of the Pacific
Coast she was the only City we had. She was a
product of the pioneering of the West, and her people
have remained true to the spirit of the Old West.
People of all Hie rest of the Pacific Coast went to
‘ The City" to "ice the .sights” when they could get
away from their business, and tlie residents of that
magic piece became accustomed to being hosts to the
whole We t. They played their part well, and the
'mtgrattbn from the Kent which lias been marked for
Hie last thirty years has had less influence on Sail
Francisco than on any other Western city. Founded
more than erventy years ago she got such a start
that the Californians, born and bred, have continued
to control the coloring of life there.
The purpose of the San Francisco excursion is lo
try to re-establish the trade with Alaska that once
was centered in that place, a trade that Seattle and
■ether Puget Sound cities now control to a very large
extent. At the meeting with the Juneau Chamber of
Commerce that v.as held oa board the Buford last
night it was conceded llial the first essential thing
necessary to the < otablishment of closer relations with
San Francisco would be the maintenance of direct
rteamrhip communication with Alaska. That Alaskans,
who continue to have the best of goodwill and the
friendlies; of sentiment for the California metropolis,
would welcome such a connection goes without say
ing. It would be of incalculable benefit to this Ter
ritory if wc could add San Francisco with her wealtli
and capacity for big things to the points with which
we could trade easily and advamtageor.ely.
The people of this place should co-operate In every
way possible with tlie people of San Francisco in
their efforts to establish a lino of steamship between
their city and this Territory unrl to make closer the
bueines and social relations between them.
DEMOCRATS SHOULD PROFIT FROM
EXPERIENCE.
Thu rtoiv rini« from Minnesota that the Farmer
Labor Party in that State has made offers to the
Democrat - lo< kina toward a union of tho two parties
there iniofar as the next election is concerned. it
i: said that Howard Everett, Democratic National
Committeeman from Minnesota, admiits that definite
proposals have been made to him looking toward
<union in Minnesota and that he has them under
advisement. He said there is little doubt but that
mo.-a of the Democrats will support the Farmer Labor
Tarty State ticket next year In exchange for support
for the Democratic Presidential ticket.
The proposal is that (1) if the Republicans re
liominute Pit dent Harding and -the Democrats nom
inate a progressive man for President, preferably one
who it- oppoced to entangling relations with Europe,
the Farmer Labor Party will support biro and Join
with the Deni co rats in nominating a mixed State
ticket for both partic to support. (2) if the Re
publicans nominate a progressive and the Democrats
do likewise, tlie combination with the Democrats will
be cn ihe State ticket only. (3) If the Republicans
renominate President Harding and the Democrats
nominate a ’ Eirrofco ifii' t" candidate, then the
Farmer Labor Party will favor a Trird Party Presi
dential ticket, and the combinations with the Demo-,
cratv will be limited to the State ticket. (4) YVhat
< ver the old parties may do in regard to the Na
tional tickets there will be a combination In the
Slate ol Minnesota “to wipe the Republican Party off
tile map" in that Stato.
The Democratic Party i not democratic when it
allies it elf with any special interest class, whether
it be with the large financial interests, the "protected
baron.;,” the money inflationists, the farm bloc or
with labor interests. The true democratic position
iv one that does not recognize any particular class
cf the people before any other cla^s.
Tbc Democratic Party should have a care bow it
trafHcr with strange god;. It came nearly destroying
itself in 1896 when it formed a fusion with the
trtuslwrt 'Populist Party with its proposal for ware
house certificate motley. That fusion forced, for the
time, the party away from the democratic doctrine
of Jefferson that best governments govern least, the
sound money position that was firmly established
|n the days of Jackson and Van Buren and maintained
by Cleveland and the traditional Democratic position
in favor of low tariffs, economy in public expendi
tures and "State Rights." It required a good many
!years to free itself of Bryanlsm and a host of other
I isms, and it should profit by the experience.
The present Administration is suffering from too
many such deals as that which politicians are trying
| to put over in Minnesota Under the leadership of
Mr. Hays a dozen or more different elements of the
population, adherents to all sorts of schools of polit
ical thought—inflationists, jingoes, pacifists, blocs
lie-presenting classes whose class interests conflict,
those inflicted with sectional prejudices, and others—
joined hands with ithe regular Republicans on a plat
form constructed with the idea of accommodating
everybody, and combined, they gave Harding a 7,
| bOO.OOO majority for the Presidency. The Admin
istration Iricd to keep all the elements to the com
] pacts which gave this result in one harmonious party,
and it took a long time for it to discover that it
was an impossibility—that a large element of tlie
majority party had to be thrown overboard or it
would jump overboard. Both are oecurlng now, and
the process is causing moat of the worries that beset
the party.
Unless a political party enters a campaign with
definite principles and under definite leadership it
will have hard sledding if It gets into power, and
the Ship cf State will not likely make satisfactory
progress.

Mr. Hoover Hits Out.
(Corrlova Times.)
With characteristic directness and no mincing of
words Secretary Hoover, in his broadcasted communi
cation published today, announces the results of his
personal study of the situation and the factors en
tering; into the Alaskan fisheries question. Mr. Hoov
er sums up the entire situation with terseness and ex
actitude when lie says that pious statements, scientific
discussion and political oratory will not spawn sal
mon. It is high time that words were turned into
action, and in Mr. lloovrr’s pointed declaration that
there is to be no further shifting of responsibility in
the matter but prompt and decisive measures takes
on the authority already at hand, there has been
given the most heartening impetus to the preservation
| of Alaskan fisherets that has yet been voiced. A
special significance is Mr. Hoover’s statement that
j not a singlo objection to the reservation policy with
respect to the fisheries has been uttered to the Sec
rtary of Commerce during his tour of Alaska. On
the contrary, fishermen and independent canners alike
have emphatically expi>sscd their approval of the
plan as so far operated. A season's application of
the regulations will undoubtedly serve to convince
the so-called Independent packers that they, above
all others, are the ones who will profit most from
the effective measures adopted by the Bureau of Fish
lories. The cessation of cut-throat tactics among
themselves and competition by financially more pow
erful concerns will ultimately have worked out to the
|C&nvLncing benefit of the small packers. In the pro
nouncement of Mr. Hoover the fishermen and packers
[of Alaska should hail the approach of a new era in
j the fishing industry, the boginning of a policy whose
efficient following out will not only perpetuate the
supply, but in the end will greatly augment the ex
tent of the Industry while making possible much
more economic operation. Facts npeak moro loudly
than words, and the effect of the regulations, as dis
closed by a single season’s operations, has been to
refute the “deliberate misrepresentation" which, for
personal and mercenary reasons has attacked the pol
icy, and of which Mr. Hoover is justly caustic. Hon
est and practical fishermen and canners will not fail
tu observe this, and with (hem “political oratory"
will ultimately fail of its effect. Every Alaskan who
has the welfare of the fisheries Industry sincerely
at heart will hall Mr. Hoover's uncompromising de
claration as an utterance unqualifiedly in the best
interests of themselves and of the Territory and
the nation.
Intelligence Tests.
(Toledo Blade.)
An analysis of records in one school shows that
the majority of boys who received poor marks in the
elementary grades made high marks In the intelligence
teste. Twenty per cent, of those who made the best
marks in the elementary schools were rated low in the
Intelligence tests. Very enthusiastic claims have been
mnde for (lie thing called psycho-analysis. It has
turn the mainstay of those gloomy-minded persons
who are anxious to prove that the average mind in
America is that of a fourteon-year-old child. But
’ psycho-analysis has the defects of anything else which
hinges on human judgment. It is not infallible. It
i probably never can be made infallible. Before we
I Can trust to intelligence teats we have to he pretty
: certain that those making the testF have brains.
| Unfortunately, it has so met im os appeared as if psycho
analysis had been sent into the world without this
