CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE MORE THAN
DOUBLE THAT OF ANY OTHER ALASKA NEWSPAPER
HARDING TO HE RENOMINATED?
Attorney-General Daugherty, following a similar
prediction by Senator Watson of Indiana, predicts that
President Harding' will he renominated by the Re
publicans without any opposition except that which
c. n be rallied around Senator La Follettc. lie de
clares, further, that the President is a candidate for
renomination. These prognostications are followed by
an Associated Press dispatch which rays organization
for the renomination of the President will begin at
once, and newspaper nten believe that Will H. Hays,
Charles I), Hiller, Poshn u ier-Genorrl New, Attorney
General Daugherty and others will have direction of
the campaign.
If President Harding desires renomilnation and an
organized campaign should be conduced for him there
is little doubt but that lie will he successful. Cer
tainly ho will he renominated under those circum
stances unless some of the radicals should heat him
out and that would net cm to he possible. It is
said that Senator Johnson of California has declared
Hint he will not be a candidate against the President.
If opposition lo the- President's renortiination does
not develop within the next few months, the great
political interest in the country will become focused
cn Democratic probabilities and possibilities. The
elections last fail encouraged the Democrats and
they will make a hard fight with whaft at this
distance from the voting would seem to bo at least
an even chance for Hie victory. This fact, with the
Republican result.- discounted and the choice of the
Democrats uncertain, it is natural that there will be
m^rf-iivtere'd In the politic. I maneuvers of the op
position and their primaries from now forward.
HENRY FORI) SEES PROSPERITY.
Henry Ford can see nothin1? but prosperity of a
permanent character in the future, lie contends that!
tho present is a time for the expansion of American'
industries and a liberal policy toward the oxten- i
r,ion of credits that will permit American matin-j
facturors to push trade, both domestic and foreign.1
Ju a recent interview he said:
I'm on optimist. Why shouldn't I bo?
There are already orders for 206,000 Ford
cars for March and we can only nianit
facture 160,000. of course, we are con
stantly Increasing our productive capacity.
Of March production, 0.000 cars have been
promised Europe. That will mean a short
age of 69,000 in Amerioa alone. This pros
perity means that otIters will prosper also.
Conditions wore never more hopeful.
Regarding expansion, he said:
Expansion is very necessary In useful
lines. It is a mistake, to my way of think
ing, when a man, firm or country has
ability, power or money to expand and fails
, to do it. That is tho way I feel about
America at this time. That is, we have
money, men. raw products and room. Let us
expand. Distrust of our destiny, tear of our
future, should have no place in our minds.
Fear should be chucked overboard.
Henry Clay Frick, the coke, iron and steel man,
left an estate valued by the New York appraisers at !
more than $92,000,000. or this more than $10,000,-!
000 were left to tho City of Ni w York This bequest j
include, liis $13,000,000 art collection and his home i
at East Seventieth Street and Fifth Avenue. His I
widow was left a life estate In the Fifth Avenue!
home.
VOTING NOT A LONG USED INDIAN
RIGHT.
It should be borne in mind that the Foster
Literacy Bill if adopted would not deprive voters
of a privilege th:U has been 1< tig used. At least that
is true as far as the Fir.--! Division is concerned.
Prior to one year ago there was no general attempt!
to vote on the part of Indians who eould not reud
and wtite. If any such voted they were few. indeed,'
and far betw een. It was only a year ago when the
attempt to vote all the Indians en bloc for hand-'
picked candidate war 11 ret mado in this section of!
the Territory. Therefore, the pendlqg legislation is'
“ move to take away a long or al right. Prac
tically ell of Hie Indians who voted in Southeastern!
Alaska before last spring wore able to read and write;
and they were living according to the white man's!
customs and pursuing similar vocations.
If ail the Indians who voted last year are quail-1
fled to vote and the organizing work proceeds among!
them as it was prosecuted by clever politicians last1
year, there will be far more than 1,000 Indian votes
cast hero uevt year, and still more at the elections
after that.
The record makes it plain uhut these votes were
not individually cast. The return, show that they
•were voted en bloc, according to the desires of a single j
controlling influence. If each of these Indian voters
did Iris own thinking anil arrived at his own con
clusion there would be differences among th -m They
would', divide their votes among candidates in like
rna^i
ner ar the white people do.
any one really believe in ills Uer.rt that it is
conducive to good government to have a singlo In
fluence cost 25 or more per cent, of the votes?
As said before, this is a new condition that hat
risen in Alaska, and it is one that should be stopped
immediately. Our government ought to be a sacred
matter. It should not be placed in the hands of a
few. That would defeat the principle of govern
ment by the majority. .
The predominance of agriculture as an occupa
tion of Americans' is proved by the fact that one-hall
the people engaged In gainful occupations in
the State of Nevada al'e employed in agriculture—5n
per cent, more than are engaged in mining and three
times as many as work at railroading, the next in
order. Nevada is never thought of as an agricultural
State yet her marketed farm products last year were
valued at $14,000,000 more than ever was her 'gold
output.
Speaking of his voluntary retirement from Con
gress Uncle .Ine Cannon remarked recently, “I'm a
bit sorry now.'' He wishes he had staid and carried
on to the end. Once again the country agrees with
Cncle Joe. Most of the people are sorrier than a
“bit.”
The Territory’s Furs.
(Cordova Times.)
The Hudson's Hay Company recently declared a
dividend of forty-five per cent. That in the 252nd
year of its op-rot ion this famous trading corporation,
one of the olde; ’ in 111? world, is able to make divid
end payments of nearly half Its capital stock, Is a
striking commentary on the value of the fur-trading
business ns a permanent industry. Starting with a
few liolated posts on the Atlantic coast of Canada,
tiiis British C( mpany has pushed on to the westward
in advance of civilization ever the entire extent of
a continent. Through its trading posts and agencies
it has built up a commerce that lias given occupa
on and income to thousands of natives and those
prospectors and adventurers to whom the world owe1
tlie penetration of its unknown wildernesses. The
history of the Hudson's Bay Company is fraught
with drama; its policies have not always been char
acterized by humane or scrupulous methods. Yet that
its operations a: a fur-trading agency after two cen
turies are still sufficiently great to justify dividends
of nearly half its capital stock is good evidence that
the trapping business is not necessarily demoralizing
to tiie supply of fur-bearing animals.
The example afforded by the Dominion of Canada,
where the Hudson's Bay Company lias carried on most
of its operations, may fitly be observed in Alaska.
The supply cf fur-bearing animals in Alaska is rc
Jatlvely just as great, and in many respects more
varied, than that of Canada, and with the operation
oi proper trapping methods and tho enforcement of
proper laws avainst ruthless destruction, should bo
a perpetual source ol commerce and revenue. What
the fur busines:-. means to the Alaskan Indian, to the
white trapper, to the legitiarute prospector and set
tler, is evidenced by the $90,000,000 worth of pro
ducts it has contributed to ithe commerce of tho Ter
ritory since tiie American occupation. What it may.
continue to he is graphically shown by the statement
of Hie Hudson's Bay Company. It is a promise that
demands the strict enforcement of game laws, the
punishment of indiscriminate killing methods, such as
the poisoning of animals, and tiie proper and con
scientious conservation of tiie wild life of the Ter
ritory on the part of every citizen.
Canada’s Railway Problem.
(Prince Rupert News.)
Reports on tho financial condition of the Canad
ian National Railway indicate that It is steadily im
proving and before long it should be a paying
I imposition. There is a good operating surplus on the
Grand Trunk already and a very few years under
the present management should see the deficit all
wiped out and regular dividends available to liquid
ating former deficits. As Hon. VV. S. Fielding says,
wo have tho railway and we must make the best or ic
U Is gigantic underatklng, being the largest railway
system in tho world. It opens up a country of vast
expenses but of illimitable possibilities. If today it
is not losing very large turns, think what the con
dition might be with all the country settled
Vancouver Should Boost.
(Dawson Nows.)
While Yukon was not directly represented at the
Alaska dinner, tho resources and conditions of Yukon
and Alaska are similar, and the detinies 0f the two
countries practically identical. The progress of one
cannot but rebound to the benefit of the other.
Yukon has similar vast agricultural and mineral re
sources to those of Alaska, and likewise needs ade
quate Interior transportation facilities to get into
touch with tho big outside world markets and thus
to develop to the full.
A little publicity in Vancouver and other cities
" lileh get the bulk of Yukon trade—publicity of the
kind Seattle is giving Alaska through newspaper
men's conventions and the like—-would give Yukon
a timely lift forward and help expand the markets of
those cities and centers which arc first outside of
Yukon lo u'hare this region's prosperity.
Strong opposition to the pro-posed prohibition of
