THE LESSON IT TEACHES

The Seward convention has given the Democrats Of Alaska an object lesson that they should take to heart The Democratic convention should be free from personal politics and the intriguing. ogrOlng combn- ing and trading that goes with that sort of thing. It should be a convention Of the best available Alaska raterial-oi earnest Alaska men and women. who are here to make homes for themselves and future gen eratons of Americans. and who happen to belong to the Democratic party They should come to the con vention realizing that they came to do public ser vice
 The Democrats could not do better than to con- sder the questions that confront Alaska people In the spirit that President Wilson spoke at the recent Je serson birthday banquet Washington, when he said:
 Frankly gentlemen am not interested in personal ambitions May not admit even Tn this company. that not enthusiastic over mere party success like to see men genera tions strong take fire Of great progressive Ideas and banding themselves together like body of thoughtful brothers put their shoulders together and lift some part of the great load that has depressed humanity This country has not the time. it Is not In the temper to listen to the violent. to the passionate. to the ambitious. This country demands service that is essentially. and fundamentally non partisan Some gentleman will learn that soon. some will learn it late but they all will learn 1t so thoroughly that it will De digested The coun try demands at this time it never did be- fore. absolutely disinterested and nonparu san service ! do not now refer merely to for eIgn affairs. where everybody professes to be nonpartlsan; refer just much to domestic affairs for In saying non-partisan do not mean merely as between parties and political organizations but more fundamentally as be- tween classes and interests.
 "One Of the things that has been Jus: as interesting to prove anything else that we have proved u the last three years is that we are not partisan against any legitimate business interest no matter how great. that are not fighting anybody that is doing legiti- mate business but we are fighting for every body that wants to do legitimate business. And We are not partisans between the rich and the poor; as between the employer and the employee but that if it be possible. we are partlsans Of both and would, if we could In our thinking draw them together to see the interests Of the country in the same terms and express them in the same concerted pur- poses
 Any man who fights for any class In this country is now fighting against the Interest Of America and the welfare or the world. We arc nonpartisans as between classes. as be- tween interests as between political ambh tions as between those who desire power and those who have it. For power will never again in America if ! know anything of its temper long be entrusted to those who use it In their behalf"

business Of growing importance has been quiet ly developing in Alaska for number of years past that of fox-breeding and incidentally the shipping of live foxes breeding purposes to Eastern breeders especially to Prince Edward Island and other Canad Ian points
 The persistent and extensive trapping of foxes black blue white. cross silver and red has in duced tce belief that the wide fields of Alaska would in @ short period be depleted. This year in connection with the high price realized for the differ ent pets made valuable from year to year by fashions many faucles has led to the establishment of many fox-breeding farms the islands of Prince William Sound and to and beyond Unalaska In the Aeutan Archipalego Success in these enterprises has induced the establishment of such breeding farms on the main the principle being .he region in the Copper River Valley
 There are no restrictions of law or regulations which prohibit the capture of foxes at any season for breeding purposes but the administration of the De- parment Of Commerce which has charge of the protec ton of the fur bearing animals in Alaska, realizing how quickly these beautiful furbearng animals might be extermnated unless protected has promulgated regulations concerning the capture. killing and breed ing of foxes in and the shipping Of live foxes from Alaska

THE REASON

wickersham's name was not presented to the Re. publican convention at Seward for the reason that count disclosed that he could moi get enough votes to win the nomination
 It was not case of dissatisfaction over the com vention control 1t was not case of dissatisfaction with the party platform, 1t not because Delegate wckersham is not in harmony with the Republican party or It's purpose in Nation and Territory but bis fellow Republicans were not given 8 chance to pass upon his claims for office BECAUSE IT WAS DIs- COVERED THAT HE COULD NOT GET ENOUGH VOTES TO WIN THE NOMINATION.
 Therefore-what? A nomination from some other source than fellow Republicans?
