glad they were to see US! We hastily
ran over to where he was lying under

seriously wounded provided he had i'm

The tendency of political parties is too much of the grind your own axe order to do more than create divisions which will de- tract from the one great, the to all, desirable object.
 Politics or political beliefs are en- ,irely superfiuous in assisting in any thing of this nature. If Alaska needs my parties at all, il should be an Al askan party, a party of one faith and one method and should be composed of every mothers son in the territory, all pledged to the one policy of de Neloping the country to the best in- tcrests of all. The establishment of strictly political parties can do the country little or no good and, if the evidences of the past do not belle the prospects the development of politi- cal divisions will mean only that the country will be exploited for the bene- it of a few self seekers and the spells system will flourish to the general detriment of every one but the polite lans and their henchmen.

Judging from the preliminary evi- dences of the campaign period, the so-called party spirit" is fast de- veloping in Alaska and there Is much reason to believe that the forthcom- ing election will be fought out largely upon party lines.
 In u general sense we accept the view that division of sentiment rel .tiNe to political measures IS, to d certain extent, necessary to good gov eminent. The existence of political divisions. or parties, establishes d much needed spirit of competition Tn politics which can hardly fail to pro- auce d certain beneficial effect on the general system of government ad- mlnlstration. The existence of two or more parties in d nation, united
 i----t, ''~~ i'll the matter of politics and methods tablishment of several stores in a given commercial field; a competitive spirit arises which results in each of the establishments striving to the utmost of their capabilities to serve the best quality of wares at the most economical prices. But, while offering many features tending to better gov- ernment, the party system also has is disadvantages. While establish ing spirit which normally tends to- ward increased efficiency in govern ment, the party system also produces conditions which cannot be looked upon as making for better govern ment.
 1t IS through the party system that graft flourshes in it's widest and most varied forms. Political chicanery of every variety finds it's safest refuge under the protecting wing of the po- litical party. In a great sense the party system is a hotbed for every form of political rottenness. This is generally well understood. However, it is not the purpose to discuss politi- cal systems. The only degree in which the subject of party politics is interesting to ourselves is as regards it's application in Alaska. While rec ognizing that the system is useful, in tn oiY, applied in other localities, we must confess a sorrow that it is developing in Alaska to the extent now mani Tested.
 For one thing we feel that the par ty system contains too much of the down the other fellow" spirit to be conducive to the best interests of new and developed land like Alaska Alaska does not need so much gov crnment as it does development. The matter of governing it is not nearly so vital as the matter of furtherng it's growth and progress. In a gen. eral sense We believe that the develop ment of political divisions and senti- ments here will have no other effect than to serve the interests of a few office seekers and political leaders while doing little or nothing toward accomplishing the primary desire of every bona fide resident of Alaska. namely, the development of the terri tory.
 Primarily because of the down the other fellow" spirit already referred to, the establishment of political par ties cannot, we believe, have other than a deterrent effect on the general progress of the country. The interest of Alaskans should be first of all,
