Window Glass Men Protest.


West Virginia and Ohio window
glass manufacturers are making a des
perate fight against the Underwood
bill rates on window glass. To-day a
large delegation OF manufacturers
from those states called upon mem
bers or the senate finance committee
and vigorously protested against the
rates carried in the house bill. There
were about a score of manufacturers
on the delegation. They did not rest
content by laying their COMPLAINT
with the subcommittee handling tho
window glass section in the Under
wood bill but they divided themselves
INTO small committees and personally
called uIon every member Of the q
nance committee from Chairman Sim

BUILT TO STAND.
Tho suprenis Confidence oneTEnsineer
Had In His Work.

Had In, His Work.
There is something inspiring about
the self confidence OF the men who do
big things. "A number OF years ago
the country was Mortified by the news
that Galveston had been swept by a
flood But the mud was hardly dry In
the clty's streets before plans were
made for building a great sea wall to
keep out the waters. George w.
Boschke was the engineer to whom
this gigantic undertaking was in
trusted.
He finished his work while the world
looked on with interest. Later he went
up into inland Oregon to look after. the
engineering work of one of the great
railroad companies that were opening
up that vast undeveloped country
Boschke was in camp. forty miles
from ~the railroad. says the Technical
World One day an exhausted mes
seuger rode in and handed a telegram
to Boschke's assistant The message
said that the Galveston wall had been
washed away by second furious hur-
ricane. The assistant was very much
disturbed. but there was. nothing to
do but to lay the telegram before his
chief.
Boschke glanced up from 1t. smiling.
'@rhls telegram Is lie,'' he said calm
ly. 81 built that wall to stand" Then
he turned to the work in hand.
His confidence was justified. The
message was based on false report.
There had been a storm as severe as
that which had flooded the city, but
the wall stood firm.

Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, DEC. 90, 1913.

President Wilson has carried out [ I?rt of his contract made with tht American people when he offered him. self as Il candidate for the presidency No man can accuse the president of deviating one heirs breadth from hi. part of the contract. either. and it is il fair presumption that he will full fill every one of the clauses in that contract in regard to legislation changing some of the laws that the party which voted him into offic. deemed necessary of change.
 It Is doubtful if ever before has the democratic party. or any ether party. placed at It's head man who has hewed so straight to the line he laid down when he asked for the party's support.
 In the matter of tariff and the currency MT. Wilson has delivered tn" goods he promised to deliver and ID fault can be found with him on the score of not keeping his part of the contract
 Here are some of the things that have been accomplished by the new tariff hill passed at the instigation of Mir. Wilson
 More than one hundred and seven ty.five articles upon which the Payne Aldrich bill imposed duty are now on the free list.
 Representative Underwood, who with the president Is sponsor for the bill. estimates that by Its operation con sumers in the United States will save $I.000.000.o00 a year. That Is a mighty "ce mmon people, to save in one year. Mir. Underwood says that this is the lowest tariff bill in more than fifty years; or since the Walker bill. which was passed by the Buchanan admin isti ation, was repealed when it was necessary for the government to raise more funds on account of the drain that the civil war had put on the na tional treasury.
 In estimating the receipts and ex- penditures of the government for the next fiscal year Mir Underwood figures that hy July. 1914. the figures will stand something like this The total revenue of the government will havo been Sl.0o9.O00. .000. Dcductine tho estimated expenditures he figures T surplus at the end of the year of $16.- 0c0.oO0.
 If the figures of Mir. Underwood are ccISect and if the bill works out as 1t wns expected to work there will cer- Itdinly be a great saving to the Am rricant people during the next year. Tint is in theory there should be a great saving and theory is all that the man who drew up the bill and

the prs.id.n, who .pprovea and cau.-

the president who approved and caus- cd to Dc rasscd the bill could possi. bly d,a; with Mir. Wilson Is not a nan to pil his faith on mere theory. eltt "ui,h in this case he must to a cert"in eX'ert do so. for there are fHices which make a purely mathema- 'ic.'l f"dr' 'ior impossible. In the first place there will be the wholesale ifn- pcrters who will expect little added duty which is going to make things st much cheaper for the consumer Then there is the middle man. the q. alcr who distributes between tn" V holesale importer and the retailer, hc will expect a wee bit added profit or account of the less cost to the public And the retailer. he. also. mrst not he overlooked In the list of those who are to benefit by the new tariff reductions. Surely all of these gentlemen may reasonably and rightly expect to gain a little something from q measure that is to be of SO much benefit to all of the people.
 Right there is where MT. Wilson and Mir. Underwood may miscue on their efforts to benefit the American rt,plc That these men are earnest ly trying to benefit the people there can be no doubt and that their tariff reduction is SO designed as to do just this there can be no doubt. But there iS one element over which neither Mir. Wilson nor Mir. Underwood have any control That is human nature and the desire of each man to get as much as he can for himself.
 There Is undoubtedly Il general re- tuCtio in all imported articles. But wren the importer. the wholesaler. tn" middleman and the merchant have e3ch heen benefited by 1he reduction il is q ten to, one shot that the ulti- mate consumef Mir. Common People. will pay about the usual price. And hen that fact is discovered do not lay it to Mir. Wilson or to Mir. Under wood. or to the democratic tariff bin. They are all right. The trouble Is not rcng 10 be with the hill. but with l,.man nature.

Just at this time it might be inter N-ting to consider the meaning of E, me of the terms that are so per sistantly handed out to the governed by those who govern. Not that it will make any difference to the gov eIn.d. but il may set few of them right in regard to n good deal of the superheated atmosphere with which t.cy are from time to time flooded by that particular class of Americans who make their living governing others.
 In the first place it is inveriahly born in uypon the youthful school slip that when he grows up he is going to have the great honor and distinction of being one of the free and independent people who govern themselves. That is apparently con- sidered an advantage which the Am crican youth will have over the youths born in many other countries. This is because America is a republic and the definition of n republic is this. "a government in which the executive power is vested in a person or per sens chosen directly or indirectly by tn. people
 Again. q republic is defined by Mad ison as "a government which derives all of it's powers directly or indirect ly from the great body of the people. and is administered by persons hold ing their offices during pleasure. for a limited time, or during good be- havior."
 There is an interesting clause right here in this definition. It is this, "durine pleasure" The question will at onc. arise. during whose pleasure" Certainly there can be no question as to whose pleasure. IL must be the pleasure of the people governed This country of ours is called q ItDuDltC u iS 'tISO dt " ferred to as democracy. We have given definition of republic. Here Is what Locke has to say of a dem ocracy. the majority having the whole power of the community, may employ all that power in making laws. and executing those laws"
 According to this authority then the community in q democray makes it's own laws and selects it's own officers to interpret. and to execute those laws
 While We are on the word democ- racy it might be well to take a glance at some of the things which the dem- ocratic party claims as its principles in regard to government in order to sec if the people of Alaska. and more particularly the people of Nome. are getting their full share of the rights that should accrue to them under a republican or democratic form of government. We use the words in their larger meaning and not as referring to parties within the country. Here arc some of the principles supposed to be believed in by the democratic party. "The least possible interference by the government with individual liber- ty" is one of the tenants of the faith of the democratic party. There are probably many democrats who do not krow this. but nevertheless 1t Is one of the fundamental principles of their party. Another basic principle of the party is mon interference with local liberty of action"
