OmCUI.ATION
POUBl.l. THAT
GUARANTEED TO BE MORK THAN
OF ANT OTHER ALASKA NEWSPAPER.
let parties stand for something
RATHER THAN AGAINST SOMETHING.
In about 100,000 voters polled by Colllei's on
who should be' the next President of the l ulled States
something nk< P,o per cent, favor President Harding.
When it eotirideied tliat President Harding is con
ceded the Republican nomination this suggests the
condition that Will Hays found when In* ret out to
get into one organization for the purposes of one
(lection all those who were oppeed to President
Wile on—with tbi difT* mice, Mr. Hays found at the
ttart the large t part of hit task was the unpopularl
zaticn (.: Prr.ldetit Wibxn. There never was any
such pircentage of the American voters against Presi
dent Wilson as Collier's poll would indicate to ba
against President Harding But by using propaganda
appealing to t lie like-, dislikes, prejudice, whims
and caprices sectional, racial, religious and occu
pational—of America's wide flung and diverse popu
lation, using always kind as uussionaty among kind,
the tatk of making President Wilson unpopular was
rcccmpK' hcd. and then the opposition was organized
into a did phalanx by a very capably managed
convention which discarded ail the prominent Presi
dential candidate.-: and nominated one who had made
no campaign and, therefore, no wounds, one who
was likiable and able- a sort of Frank Pierce nom
ination. The result was that about 60 per cent of
the voters cast their ballots against i*e Wilson Ad
Mint r ftation and incidentally for Scnal* Harding.
If Collier's poll is indicative of the conditions of
public sentiment, one who would start out to do for
1924 what Mr. Hays did for 1!»2ft would find hb work
hfalf done. He would not have to d( popularize the
AdminirtralIon Ho would cniy have to consolidate
the opposition to It.
However, in the < nd what wculd he accomplished?
Suppose, for in: tance, that all thede who favor Ford,
McAdoo, Smith, I.'ndetwood, Ralston, Cox and others
for the Ptesldency, those who oppt‘:e something in
the Harding Administration, weri brought into a co
operating force to defeat President Harding,
i , it net alinoit certain that tile next Administration
would scon find itself in a minority? Would it be
per slide so to shape the policies of the government
that all the element's which would contribute to ita
(lection would continue to co-operate? Would it not
find itself where the Republicans find themselves now
when there are strong representations in each house
(f Cong re - claiming to he member- of tire same party
but who are more stir ugly opposed to each other
than each group i- oppr'.ied to the Democratic Party?
Would it not be h 'ter for the country, and, in
the end, for tlie .- parate parties if both of 'thcpi
wculd nominate positive candidates on positive plat
forms and appeal for support on what they stand for
lather than on what they do'not .*-!aml for? The
Republicans will probably do that. President Harding
will have his record and a declaration of principle's
end policies that will he fairly well mapped by the
time in competes his present journey. He, his record
end hi r-pe relies will be the Republican offering next
year. It would b( better for the Democrats to meet
that with a positive program rather than an indefinite
catch-all arrangement designed to gather In all
those who arc opposed to tile Republican program.
Then, nt matter which side wins, we will know
what to look forward to.
PARER MILLS INCREASING OUTPUT.
The circumstance that the Zellorbuch Paper Com
pany pulp and paper mllb located at Port Angeles.
Washington, rte to hi* again doubled in proportions
ie evidence that the industry is continuing to in
crease Hr output to meet the demands of trade. This
Will war establish'd a few years ago with a dally
capacity of fifty tens of n w* print per day. About a
year ago it doubled it*-- size and since la.*-1 fall it has
been producing loo ions daily. The contracts have
now been let to increase it to a tiOO-ton mill
Most of tto wood pulp used at Port Angeles 1b
made from Clallam County hemlock and. it is said,
is not so good ; • that made In Alaska where a larger
percentage of spruce is used. The Speel River mill
has shipped pulp to the Port Angeles paper mill and
it-has been highly praised.
New paper mills are coming' in at otlior Wash
ington and Oregon points. One i< to be erected soon,
it is said, at Kelso.
The superiority of Alaska pruce, the availubility
of water power and the growing demand, will bring
paper mills to Alaska at no distant date.
MR. BRYAN S STANDARD.
Mr. Bryan, commenting cn Governor Smith's
rignature to, the Mullan-Gage repeal luw, stressed
the declaration that it killed him politically. Whether
threat cr prophecy this chows tho littleness of the
standard .by which Mr. Bryan measures official action.
Cbverncr Smith acted as the head of a great .State
organization not at- a sslf-eeeking politician. It re
coils Mr. Bryans statement at the San Francisco
Ccnventicn w'hen he declared that if the Convention
Would give him ctrong prohibition declarations he
vtjouUJ-*lv«.,U fifty votes for evrey one which .was
dfivcn out of :tlio psrty For this statement the late
Bourke Coekran soundly and justly rebuked the Ne
braskan. us did Governor Smith for the declaration
here first quoted. Official action and platform de
clarations should be governed by principles and not
by their vote-getting powers.
It is said that as a result of the shortage of
farm labor there are 9,000 vacant fa tins and U01.200
idle m res in 55 of the 07 counties of Pennsylvania.
If a lot of those 200,000 surplus coal miners could
be Induced to go on the farms it would tie a boon
to Pennsylvania, a blessing to the miners and help
to solve the coal workers' wage proposition.
China has been called the "Flowery Kingdom,"
but at that there are a lot of people ^ho would
rather say it to those bandits with shotguns than
with flowers.
Get's have lull Territorial form of government,
willi local government's for the expenditure of local
revenues, power to solve the fisheries problems and
many other Territorial matters.
"Russia owes no debts,” says Trotzky. Which
means, of course, she will not pay her debts if Trotzky

Wages for Wives.
—
(Philadelphia Ledger.)
"With all my worldly goods I thee endow" is ioo
fanciful and insecure a pledge to suit some of the
delegates to the Internatoinal Woman’s Suffrage Al
liance.
They think that's all very well for the marriage |
j service, like the bridal veil und otrewn rose petals
| and the sweetly sentimental strains of Mendelssohn's!
"Wedding March." For the hard and sometimes gritn j
I j i are. alter the honeymoon, when tiice is merely!
: something to be boiled with raisins for a cheap ye; j
tatty dessert, they ask something lest poetic but more!
' collectable before the law.
lu a word, they want wages for wives. They want i
j the lawmakers of the world to decree that a certain!
j portion of a man's salary or income shall be allotted!
1 to hie wife. If he does not hand it over voluntarily,
j they want to attach his pay envelope,
i ’1 he loudest advocates cf the measure, it is in-j
t( resting io note, were the delegates from England, |
where a wife has little legal standing; its most vig-:
1 crons opponents, the Scandinavian women, whose!
national laws give a wife support commensurate with!
! her husband's pc. it Ion. The women from the North'
'argued that wages dishonored the married state and
reduced wive;, io the position of paid housekeepers. i
llc.v much is a wife worth a week? The question'
might weil be countered with another: How much isl
ia hut-band worth a week? The statistician who can1
answer either question could appraise the sunrise and'
i write price tags for the flowers of the field and the'
'soft .winds of summer.
The ordinary pay of domesticity is struggle and i
hope, worries and love, weariness and content, bills,
land the interest on tlie mortgage, and the cost efi
j shoes for restless little feet. In a word, it is a sight
draft on the not always solvent Hank of Life.

Talking Plain Business.
—
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
( a ii.tii a dot ires to enact a treaty of reciprocity!
I with the United States whenever Washington is ready.
I Ills sound : like good business. It is good busl-i
nets and good morals to live as neighbors properly
jth'iuld llivc. Clarified to iis logical conclmim it,
simply means that application of the golden rule to !
i international relations.
Hut ( anatla is not idealizing, or moralizing. Shei
is talking plain business./ Tile Canadian Minister of
Finance made this plain in bis speech when present-'
lug liis annual budget. In plain terms, the lcgisla-1
tion dealing with the budget embodies a reciprocal
offpr.
Without going into details, and looking to the
larger possibilities of such a policy, the proposal
suggests arrangements of mutual advantage which
might materialize in tremendous international pro
tie s and profit. Of course prbolems would arise, but
them should present no insuperable obstacle to such
an agrement between the two Governments.
One method suggested will indicate the definite'
charactr of the proposed reciprocity, as the Minister |
•If the Pro. idem of the United States, under the
authority of the United States tariff act of 19:12. de
termines to reduce by 5(1 per cent, the duties imposed
b> such act on the following articles, viz cattle
wheat, wheat flour, oats, barley, potatoes, onions!
timber, bay and fish, the Government, bv order in
Council may make such reduction of duty‘on similar
articles Imported into Canada from the United States
as may be deemed reasonable by way of compensa
for such produce imported into the United
Hut there will be argument, of course. In con
nection with such a prtposal. However, It Indicates
the possibility of ultimate rapprochements between
our neighbors and out* el vet which should profit us all.
