Anchorage Democrat)

| Anchorage DemocraO I The Sunday Times had interview which the former editor, L. F. Shaw, gave to the editor of tho Post-Intelligencer.
 | MT Shaw was editor of the Anchorage Daily Times during the whole of the campaign of last sea son. and if he ever said good word for Demo crat during that period we fail to remember the issue and memory isn't very bad either MT Chas. E. Heron, the publisher of the Times is Republican, everyone knows, and fact which he is proud of. Shaw the editor of his paper and everything he wrote politically had Republican sheen to it. He is not Democrat, never has beer one He is politically of the faith Charlie Herron and is J. F. A. Strong the only differ but Strong and Shaw will not Any time per son will designate Governor Strong l.. F. Shaw John Frame or ex-Attorney General Cobb Democrats he is handling the truth recklessly in fact in a genuine Republican manner.
 Every spoken of from his attitude, must have voted for Wickersham and opposed Democratic success in the Territory with every of energy he possessed
 We will cite simple instance of Strong's Dem ocracy. He made stand in the Delegate contest against the Democratic nominee, and if he did it honestly why did he immediately afterward commence writing letters to Wckersham advocates explaining his position, he did in the Boyle case?
 Dr. Boyle is Wickersham man, has always been one and is absolutely honest in his advocacy of the deposed Delegate.
 But why in the deuce was it necessary for our chief executive to write to him explaining why he came out for Wick in the contest, clearly and abso lutely against the ballot law that he had signed, if he was not at heart Wick himself?
 There need be explanation to this logic Strong was Wick man, just the same Shaw and Frame were and Judge Wickersham came out flat foot. edly last year for Hughes. the who sup porting him here in the Territory must have done likewise.
 Shaw is an old Republican friend of Strong, and when he to Seattle and commences telling the people down there that everyone but machine Demo crats' is for Strong he must know that he is posi- lively stating conditions that not be supported by facts in the Territory
 > Delegate sulzer, Attorney General Grigsby and National Committeeman Donohoe the who are trying to support the Wilson administration in Alaska and they have more followers in every pre- cnct of the Territory than the mugwump bunch, who are doing so much talking, hope to have Strong may get the appointment Governor, but if he does we herewith give ample notice to the people in Washington that they have appointed man who is not Democrat and his occupancy of the office will be directly opposed the administra- tion of President Wilson, and every opportunity he may get during his office holding future will be like that of the past-against real Democratic in Alaska.
 And in the meantime, MT. Shaw cut out talk about Alaska politics. You and your bunch showed your utmost strength in opposition to true democracy here last year and you will all be it again early in the spring.

STRAIGHT THROUGH

Those who have always depended much upon William J. Bryan for epigram that will as a slogan in crisis never had cause to be happier than over his advice to the pacifists in Chicago speech recently. THE QUICKEST WAY OUT IS STRAIGHT THROUGH" said the great commoner. Fne'n true, patriotic, and breathing the spirit of America!
 No tried harder to avert than MT. Bryan He has been the greatest pacifist of them all for years He has striven harder risked more, and gone further toward the goal of universal peace than all of the present day pacfsts combined. But he is American patriot possesses great fund of practical historical information and is un- learned in the philosophy of it all He follows the advice of Poonus:
 Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being in it. bear it that the opposer may beware of thee"
 Any other course than that suggested by MT Bryan is weak at best, reasonable at worst. Any other suggestion than to go straight through is not in the interest of world peace. No other would shorten the present Any other course would give aid to the Kaiser and promote additional sacrifice of life and treasure Straight through unquestionably is the quickest way out" we'll as the honest manly and patriotic way out

THE SQUARE DEAL

Every patriotic American and every loyal mem Der of Congress will welcome the Presidents order prohibiting the faintest suspicion of politics fluence the exemption of the National army.
 Favor-seekng citizens, it is reported, already had begun to put pressure Congressmen. Requests were being sent to the War Department for special consideration for privileged few The peremptory command issued by President Wilson will end this budding evil. General Crowder to all the mem bers of Congress notice saying that "the President directs the War Department to decline to discuss pending appeal entertain any commun- cations, suggestion additional evidence state ments concerning them"
 That is the spirit of impersonal fairness which the American people appreciate Because of the gen era belief that the National army has been selected by clean tests of actual fitness this nation has es caped the customary wholesale opposition the The feeling that the law being enforced without favor has done miracles in the development of the national morale. Lacking such of justice might have been divided people.

FIFTY YEARS OF ALASKA
Burlington, Iowa, Hawkeye

Huntington, Iowa. HaWkeye)
 It was fifty years ago last March. that the nego- tions were concluded which made Alaska a part of the territory of the United States On October IS, 1867 United States troops actually took possession of the American land
 The wise in the press and elsewhere had much of condemnation for the Secretary of State, the Hon. Wm. H. Seward. who negotiated the transfer and who bought the immense territory for a beggary seven and a half millions. The wise men the statesman They thought of the immense terri tory of their unexplored and uncharted West, and they probably Opned that should fill those enormous wastes, large portion of which were marked the map the Great American des- As they could not forsee the wonderful winning of the West, of course, it still less possible for them to look into the future and find that corner of the continent becoming a valuable and important part of Uncle Sans possessions.
 Long since, has another generation of wise men been praising the wisdom of Seward and many of us just beginning to appreciate the fact that there possess empire of magnificent possibilities. It was not until gold had been found in Alaska that the possessions It known that the country was rich in timber that there game, and that the fur trade and the fisheries were valuable but when the yellow metal discovered the rush to Alaska began And but for the gold discoveries, there would have been but few sparse settlements in Alaska today Thus thanks to the pioneers who after gold They brought others in their wake, who found much that valuable, and we can truly say that Alaska would be very valuable, if never a grain of gold had been found there. We should not have discovered the second fact if it had not been for the rushes to the gold fields. Everything considered fifty years, and perhaps it is to be doubted that Sew ard imagined that he getting so much for little, driving such excellent bargain for the American people

SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

(Atchison, Kas., Globe)
 There are many who could do their best without doing very well.
 Someone is always ready to offer a suggestion, if that is all you want mosquito would be a lot more sue cessful if he went about his business quietly
 Sometimes domestic problems are sim plfed. as when both sides want a di- vorce.
 There are men who imagine they are aristocrats because they are too lazy to work.
 An old-fashioned car isn't very old, but it looks more ancient than colonial furniture
 Usually there is much to be said on both sides of the question, and the painful part of it is that it usually is said.
