PLATFORM SILENT
ON PROHIBITION.

The draft Of the National Demo
cratic platform was finished by the
committee Friday and read before
the convention.
It's outstanding features are:
complete silence upon the wet
and dry question.
2-Emphatic endorsement OF the
League OF Nations covenant with a
demand for prompt ratification
without multiplying reservations. but
with an expression OF willingness to
accept reservations clarifying the
covenant or making II more specinc
with respect to American obiiga-
lions.
"a simple expression OF sympathy
for Irish aspirations, without REFER
,ence to American recognition.
4-Rejection OF the administra-
ton plank recommending acceptance
by the United States OF mandate
for Armenia.
5-Pledge OF support for aiding
American veterans of the world war
to acquire farms and homes but no
promise OF a money bonus.
6-strong planks on labor agri-
culture. the interests of women ana
woman suffrage.
The platform presented was IN
thorough accord with President VIII
sons views except on the League OF
Nations and the Armenian mandate
When the fight started Mr.. Bryan
was recognized amid tremendous
cheering and presented a minority

CHURCH BOARD BUILDING FUND.


A gift OF S177.260 from the Home
Mission Board Of Atlanta, Ca,
through its church extension depart
ment, to Texas Baptist churches for
the completion OF new buildings. Is
announced by DR.. r. 8. Groner. gen
eral secretary OF the Baptist Execu-
tive board Of Texas.
This gift" said DR.. Groner. "is
but a fractional part OF the total
amount being invested by Baptist
churches in new buildings during the
year. In each case where the Home
Mission board makes a gift, the local
churches meet the gifts with a con-
tribution many times the amount
which they receive. II is our plan
to spend hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars in the next Ave years in new
church buildings and equipment"

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

That the lure of gold has not lost its power among sourdoughs is evil denced by the fact that there are at least fifty prospecters combing the hills of Chichagof Island and vicinity in search of the yellow metal. They were all stampeded to that locality last fall by the news of the big strike of last fall near Stag Harbor and the great richness of the Chichagoff mine.-Douglas News.
 The decision of the members of Nome Igloo of Pioneers to withdraw from the organization on account of the amendment to the laws passed at the Grand Igloo, at the Anchorage convention in March, allowing men who have resided in the territory since 1905 to become members of this great order, should not be taken seri- ously by the balance of the Igloos. Nome is just recovering from a long, cold, dull winter, and like a ground rattler shedding it's skin in the early days of spring is ready and anxious to fight anything and everything. When the sun returns to the North land and the broad tundras are a riot of colors, and newcomers bring 8 spirit of optimism to the city. all will be forgotten, and we trust, forgiven One good mess of greens and a dose or two of calomel and our neighbors of the second divison will acknow- ledge their error and return to the greatest organization in the world Valdez Miner

action of the convention has thrown them. The severest criticism which they have been able to make however, is that the nominees have not had sufficient experience. It is true that neither one has yet occupied the pres idential or vice-presidential chair. It is also true that General Grant had never distinguished himself as a gen. eral until the civil war created the opportunity. Nor had Abraham Lin coin, the greatest of all our presi- dents, had any more qualifying ex- pcrience than has Senator Harding or C. vernon Coolidge. It is noticeable, however that not one of the opposi- tion papers have ventured to attack tho character of the candidates. On the contrary, the New York Times says editorially:
 ''It is fortunate that not word s to be said against the character of either candidate. They are ire proachable'
 That is a graceful acknowledgeme ment and we trust that the Republican papers may be able to make the same graceful and truthful concession with regard to the nominees of the San Francisco convention.
 The nominations mean that we shall have an era of nationalism, in- stead of internatioralism, that we shall have as the head of the nation a man who thinks for America first, " and not even of himself first. They mean that we shall have as president a man who, while he has a mind of his own and has great firmness and determination, yet who shall not at tempt to dictate to and usurp the prerogatives of the 1aw-making and treaty making branch of the govern ment. They mean that we will have a clean man of outstanding character who will command the confidence and respect of all parties and all indivi- duals. They mean that the country is about to redeem itself and that we shall once more have "a government of the people, by the people, for the people,"

HARDING, COOLIDGE AND
 VICTORY

While cOnceding the sterling integ- rity, the great ability and the many other admiral qualities possessed by the other candidates, we fell con- strained to say that the Chicago con- vention could not possibly have made two better selections than were made in naming United States Senator War ren c. Harding, of Ohio, as the Re- publican candidate for president, and Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massa- chusetts, as the Republican candidate for vice-president at the coming national election. The attitude of both candidates on the questions of tEe day are we'll known and approved by majority, not only of the dele gates to the convention, but by the voters as we'll Both have had con- siderable experience in officiol public life and have distinguished them selves therein
 Senator Harding has been in the newspaper business since 1884 and is editor of the Marion Star, publish ed by the Harding Publishing Com pany, of which he is president He has twice been state senator from the thirteenth Ohio district, and served one term as lieutenant governor of Ohio. He was elected as United States senator November 3, 1915, and his term of office will expire March 5, 1921, the day before he will be sworn in as president of the Unital States
 Senator Harding is chairman of the following committees: commerce, expenditures of the. treasury depart ment, foreign relations, Pacific islands, and Porto Rico, public health and national quarantine, standards, weights and measures and territories. He has displayed conspicuous ability in every position which he has been called upon to fill
 Senator Harding has been consist ently opposed to the policies of the present administration, especially as applied to the League of Nations. He is an ardent believer in the principle of adequate tariff protection for up building and maintenance of the su- premacy of American standards of labor and industry. Any defects in the platform on the important issues of the day will be more than counter balanced by the personality and Americanism of Senator Harding.
 The record of Governor Coolidge is we'll known. His admirable stand in the matter of the police strike of Boston resulted in his triumphant election as governor. He is a man of great ability, of firmness of charac- ter, and is capable of filling any of flee within the gift of the nation.
 As might have been expected, the administration papers have hastened to crfticise the nominations What they have had to say is the best evi- dence of the panic into which the
