 Now that getting down to business In answer we con ess that we are indeed familiar with both and often have men, toned them In both instances the record greatly to the credit of the Delegate.
 We are also familiar with the that Delegate Wicker sham apogzed for the haoaf home rule that he secured on the ground all that could hope to get from the Taft administration that would do for starter anyhow We too are familiar with the conditions that have demonstra ed that the apology the home rule bill was an appropriate accompaniment We are, further familiar with the clrcu stance that there has been no home rule fight made by the Del egate since the President of the United States ten and nan months ago. said that Alaska should have real home rue

FOREIGN BORN
 AMERICAN CITIZENS

The bureau of the census has issued a bulletin of figures, compiled from the last census, showing the number of people of foreign birth living in the United States and in the various States. The figures are somewhat surprising. There are as many men of foreign birth, over the age or zI years. now living in the United States as there are enrolled in all the armies of the European countries now at war save Russia alone.
 The foreign.born deni2ens of the United States at the present time number 1S,345,545, of whom 6,646'Slf are males over the age of 21 years, Of these, 2,266,5S5 are aliens who have never taken the preliminary steps to naturalization by taking out their first papers It is a fair con cluslon that those who have not taken out first papers are, in the great ma jority of cases, men of military age.
 Of the aliens who have shown no intention of becoming citizens, the Italians are in large majority with 46S,442; the Russians come next with 3S5,97O. It is safe to say that among these Russians there are very few who have any idea of returning to Russia during the present war to take part in the struggle, for the vast ma jorlty of them are Russian Jews, driy' en out by persecution.
 There are S49,S41 Austrians and 174,51S Hungarian aliens in the Unit ed States. Those classified as Aus trians are very largely Serbs, rather than Germans. and their personal feel ings are against rather than in favor of the country of which they are sub jects. Greece has an extraordinary percentage of denizens eS this coun' try who have evinced no purpose Of becoming citizens, 5S,2OS cut of total of 74,975 of men over the age of 21 years. Germany has 127,10S men over the age of 21 years who are aliens without even their first papers, while the British islands have 197,4S6.
 It will be seen that the countries at war have a large number of subjects, still liable to military duty who are residing in the United States with. out requiring or seeking to acquire citizenship here. If any considerable proportion should return home 1t would make quite hole in popula' tion figures.

PITY OF LOUvAIN'S
 WANT0N DESTRUCTION

The reports of the destruction of Louvain are the more astounding be- cause they are not In keeping with what the world knows of the German character.
 The German mind has found almost it's highest expression In the great uni versailles and schools of that country. Germans are naturally reverent of all the achievements of human intellect. Ancient manuscripts, masterpieces of architecture and art, everything that belongs to the realm of the mind, are almost sacred to the average German, whose historical and philosophical predilections have made him the butt of much sly teasing from nations less studiously inclined.
 That Germans could deliberately set torch to the magnificent, six-century- old town of LouYain, with It's invalu- able archives, destroy the university with it's historical associations dating back to the first foundation by John " of Brabant In 1425, demolishing the ancient churches with their treasures of painting and carving. and rage the old town that was for so long the cen ter of the New Learning" In Europe, is incomprehensible except on the theory that some officer lost his head in the fury of the moment, and took action all Germans will repudiate as soon as they realize it's significance.
 Human suffering outwelghs all loss of property no matter how fireplace able the latter may be. But the lives of a nations army may be said, in one sense, to belong to thet nation only; while the records and treasures of Louvaiu were a part os the history of civilization and belonged to the world.
 It is to be hoped the German nation will rebuke the gyiity parties prompt. ly and effectively. No rabuke can give the destroyed homes back to their owners nor the rulEed cathedrals and lost records back to tue world; but they can at least give voice to German regret at what has heppened.-Seattle Sun.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM


 We congratulate the people of AL aska upon the advent to power of the Democratic Party under the splendid and inspiring leadership of President Woodrow Wilson and the great men he has summoned to his Cabinet.
 In the nation at large, 1t has re- deemed every pledge made in the platform adopted at Baltimore in 1912; has freed industry from the
 domination of special interests; brought independence and prosperity to the people as whole, in spite of the utmost efforts of the great cor porate and financial interests of Wall Street to precipitate a panic for poli- tical purposes; has abandoned the Dollar Diplomacy" of proceeding ad. ministrations and with patience and wisdom guided the country through trying and vexatious foreign compli- cations into the ways of righteous ness and peace.
 And of far more immediate concern to US, 1t has struck of the shackles which so long bound and restricted this Territory and has at last set Al aska on the high road toward the de- Yelopment of a rich, prosperous, hap py and contented commonwealth.
 This development is not only al- ready in full swing at many points in the Territory, but from Cape Fox to Point Barrow, and from the Gulf of Alaska to the Frozen Ocean the Wilsdn Administration has infused every town and camp with the spirit of hope and confidence in the future.
 The Democratic Party of Alaska, in assembled. therefore pled- ges itself and its candidate flor dele gate to Congress to cooperate with the National Administration in securing the following beneficial legislation:
 1. An amendment to the Organic Act, so that in the words of the Presi- ient, Alaska may have full Terri .orial form of government" enlarging he powers of the Territorial Legis- ature to every ieedful subject of leg station not of strictly national char lcter.
 2. The constructio;. of the trunk Ines of railroad from tidewater to he great interior basins, preliminary

NEW RECORD IN N
 COPPER EXPORTS

A nek high record mark in copper exports was set up in the fiscal year ended June 30 with total of 97,791,. 676 pounds. of this tonnage Germany took directly S11,1O7.962 pounds, the greatest amount in corresponding twelvemonth and SI.OO0,OOO pounds more than in the preceding year, This movement of copper from the United States was accomplished very largely early in 1914, when record.breaking shipments continued to be made de- spite practically no buying for domes- tic use.
 AS to whether Germanys big talk ings valuedat $46,122,77S for the year. were due to che low prices prevailing or to the nations preparation for war can only be guessed at.
 Indirectly Germany took much larger tonnage of American copper, for there was shipped to Holalnd 17s,' 13O,S77 pounds during the June 30 year against 174,776.1S4 pounds in the preceding year. The greater part of this was probably intended for Ger man use. as exporters generally con cede shipments to the Netherlands as being chiefly for German account.
 France and England retained their order in the taking of copper from the United States, there being shipped to theformer 173,SO1, ,960 pounds, com pared with 129. .6S4.052 pounds, while to England there was exported 150,S6S, i S75 pounds comparing with 111,5S3,' S21 pounds.

 1. The opening immediately of the coal and oil lands of Alaska, so that those great necessities of civilization may be made cheap and abundant to the people.
 5. The abolition of the National Forest Reserves in Alaska, which are wholly unnecessary co the preserya- ton of the forests, bat operate mere ly as a vexatious hindrance to the min CT and the homesteader.
 G. The abolition of the st. Michael Military Reserve, except as to lands actually needed for the use of the Military Post at that point. 2. To prevent by law the great cor porate financial interests of the coun- try from taking any part in politics, or seeking to exert any secret inau- ence upon Territorial or Federal off cials.
 8. To provide for the admission of Alaska into the Union as State as soon as she has attained a population of 100000, which with the impulse given to her growth by the wise policy of the Democratic Administration we confidently expect to secure within a very few years.
 g. The speedy extension of the sys- tenn of public surveys to all the agri- cultural lands of the Territory, so i that the homestead laws may be eff ciently and economically administer ed; that the law providing for a re- serve of eighty rods between claims or navigable water be repealed, and that land office be established in Southwestern Alaska.
 10. The Democratic Party further declares in favor of a Direct Primary Election Law; the Australian Ballot; workman's Compensation Law; ad- ditional aids to navigation and i'm provemept to the mouth of the Yu. kon River and the harbor at Nome; liberal appropriations for Roads and Trails; the establishment of more gov ernment fish hatcheries, and strict regulation of the canneries and fish cries, SO that our fishing industry may not be destroyed or impaired; and the reduction of cable tolls.
 The people of Alaska are now be- ginning to reap the benefits flowing from the wise, liberal and just treat ment accorded them by the present administration; and to them we earn estly appeal to support It's party and policies, and thereby demonstrate their appreciation and approval; they have never had friend or been given hope from any other administration or party; and regardless of former political associations, we cordially in- yite all men and women who love Al aska to join us in accomplishing the purposes of this platform by eieeting it's candidate.

ARGUMENTS THAT CANCEL EACH OTHER.

TT arguments advanced against the bills to enable the
 Government to buy and operate merchant ships One is
 that the Government does everything extravaganty and hence Government steamships would be operated at great loss to the United States treasury
 other that private capital would not try to compete against the Government and hence should have sociastc merchant with all attendant political and economic disadvantages
 These arguments cancel each other the Government can not operate ships cheapy private corporations its com petition be feared If operate ships cheapy that private capital will compete there possibility of Treasury deficit in consequence
 The Administrations is not intended perman policy of government American capital is willing to deepsPa shipping fear continuing Government competition But private capital holding back for subsidies and special avOrs there why should receive sideration
