Fairbanks News-Miner, A gust 1l.) SUPPORT THE ADMINISTRATION

The greatest hope and promise Alaska has been able to obtain from any administration in its history comes to us through the present Democratic administration. During the short time the Democrats have been in power, the effort to deliver Alaska from its shackles and open up the country by railroads and bet ter laws has been more pronounced than has such effort in all the other days of Alaska's life. In strug- gling country, it is good business to help and support those who show disposition to help and support the country, and it will be gocl business upon the part of AlashanS to put in with the Wilson administration and help it to help Us and to become the greatest administration the United States has known, especially so far as Alaska is concerned.
 Every stocknoIder in the Panama Publishing Company is ar old Dem ocrat While during the last admin istration of the Republicans in the hope that it would be fir the best interests of the country, no such reason now exists, and iu >aturo the News-Miner will be 8 Democratic newspaper, upholding the adminis- tration and working for the cause to the best of its ability. We shall recognize DO internal strife in the party in Alaska, but "ii travel with the administration and support its organization.

 "The first step should be a government owned road from the sea coast to the the coal fields.

 "Alaska has G., 900, 900 acres ot land where the grass grows waist high in the summer. It is tlllable soil. Thousands of reindeer feed on the moss growing ranges and there is no reason why, with pro, per transportation facilities, Alaska should not supply the nation with meat that is more tasty and noullah- ing than beef.
 Secretary Lane also asserted he would advocate government coal Ing station in all Alaskan land locked harbor, where the Pacific fleet could be provisioned for a world cruise.
