M'BRIDE FOR COMMITTEEMAN

It is gratifying to know that J. C. Mcbride, one of Juneau's representa-. tive business men, and an old-time Alaskan, has consented to become a candidate for Republican national committeeman. The Daily Times takes great pleasure in indorsing MT Mcbride for this honorary office, be- lieving that he is eminently qualified to intelligently and satisfactorily dis. charge the duties that will devolve upon the successful aspirant.
 In a statement issued today MT Mcbride declares that the only faction he belongs to favors Alaskans for ter. ritorial offices and the selections will be left to the party organizations of the different judicial divisions. He also wants the control of the fisheries: and other industries vested ill Alaska, and on his announced platform he should have the support of every E ,t Republican at the primaries in April

CORDOVAN IS IGNORED

Chairman Will Hays of the Repub. liean national committee has not only recognized Alaska in the appointment of George q .Hazelet as a member of the committee on platform and prin- ciples of the Republican party, but has also paid high tribute to the business and political sagacity of our townsmen
 The object of the committee will be to report tentative platform to the resolutions committee of the national convention to be held at Chicago next June. It will be composed of sixty members, representing all the states and territories, and includes such prominent men as former President William Howard Taft, former Supreme Court Justice Charles E. Hughes, ex- Senator Elihu Root, Senator Lodge, Colonel Roosevelt and Speaker of the House of Representatives Gillett.
 Possibly no one in Alaska would be better able to represent this territory on such an important matter as MT. Hazelet. He is one of the pioneer residents of this Northland, has 'mushed" the trails, made gold and copper discoveries, and has materially assisted in the developments of it's resources. Being familiar with the needs of the country, MT. Hazelet is fn position to render a most valuable service by having an Alaska plank in tho Republican platform. As there is every indication that this party will be in control of the affairs of gov ernment after the presidential elec- tion next November, his recommends tions may result in some constructive legislation for Alaska, which is so badly needed
 Chairman Hays appointment show ed his confidence in MT. Hazelets abil- 1ty to serve with distinguished citi- zens from all parts of the nation on matter of vital importance to the peo- pie as whole. This being the case, would it not be wise for the Repub- icans of Alaska to send MT. Hazelet as one of it's two delegates to the national convention? He will certainly be in close touch with the party lead CTS in serving on the platform com mittee, and much good might ulti- mately result to the territory by his election as a delegate to the national convention.

INDIVIDUALITY .

Individuality has always been nailed to the cross, burned at the stake, Hay ed, hanged, or caused to drink from the poisoned cup.
 Mediocrity has been exalted, pro- claimedk from the house tops by the populace and worshipped as a demi- god.
 Individuality will ever be unpOpu- lar with the masses, for it stands often for change in the general or der of things, upsets fixed and we'll rooted ideas. It requires effort.
 Mediocrity runs in the same old rut, a comfortable, snug, indolent loving procedure, and abhors effort.
 Hence Individuality is unpopular, while Mediocrity pleases. . But all advances, all improvements, all benefit for the masses came as a result of Individuality. . While radicalism, anarchy, supersti- tion, ignorance, and misery are child ren of Mediocrity.
 The great problem of the world must be solved now Autocracy has fallen, but Mediocrity is still very much alive
 Individuality must again come for. ward, though persecuted, for in no ether way can the great problems of the day be solved

SELECT THE BEST TIMBER

Those of us who are vitally inter- ested in the territory should study the qualifications of the men running in the coming election, and see that all dead timber is eliminated. There are too many laws and not enough en- forcement; too much legislation that Is frivolous and for the classes. If Alaska is ever to go ahead she must be represented by Alaskans. The man who has lived in the territory be- cause it is his home and he likes it will better represent the district from which he is elected than the genius who takes office because he desires the fame attached, and who has in- terest in nothing else but his salary. The next few years may bring mo- mentous questions for the people of Alaska to solve. A legislature which overrides the wishes of it's constitu- ents, or which is intensely radical, has unlimited powers for doing harm just at this time. The territory needs cap- ital. Capital should be protected in- stead of persecuted. The territory needs labor, which should be safe necessary to the welfare of this great guarded by the proper laws. Both are empire, and both should be accorded

HOOVER LIKELY TO

May Adjust Differences of Labor and
Capital-COnfers With A. F. of l..

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10 Herbert
Hoover probably will be asked to assume
the role of Intermediary between labor
and capital for the adjustment of exist
ing differences and the formation of plans
to prevent nationwide Unemployment

peace conditions.
This is the view held here by leaders

members of the executive council OF the
American federation of labor: Mr.. Hoover
is to confer with the council at the re
quest of Samuel Gompers, president OF

leotive bargaining recognition of the I'M

Dor as the basis of settlement.
The second industrial conference, APP
pointed by President Wilson, which was
headed by Mr.. Hoover, failed to include
in its recommendations recognition OF col
Iective bargaining. For this reason the
report was bitterly attacked by the
American federation Of labor.
Some politicians in Washington see IN
the coming conference the first move in a
plan to have Mr.. Hoover appointed sec
ing's cabinet. Mr. Hoover's varied ca
ree rec it is pointed out, has given him an
insight into all phases of life. and he is
thoroughly familiar, not <,only with the
problems confronting the business man
and working man, but also the serious
problem now confronting industry.
