 In 1890, Judge Wickersham narrowly escaped defeat largely because of combination of factional elements in the party in this Division Without that submergence of factiona differences he surely would have lost. That an off-year campaign. Next year will be national election time. Political observers agreed that the Democratic Party right now has the edge and seasoned Re- publicans admit that the chances favorable for Democrat to replace MT. Hoover. With that kind of sentiment prevailing throughout the country, there can be no question about the Democratic Party in Alaska casting the biggest vote in more than decade Judge Wickersham may may not be reelected in 1892, but if he is, he will have boiled votes than were cast for him in l930 At this stage of the campaign, his chances to do this do not encouraging

Commenting on the declaration of Judge James Wickersham of his mention to be candidate for the Republican nomination for election as Dele gate from Alaska to Congress enthusiastic con- temporary asserted that his nomination would be equivalent to election. Judge Wickersham is too experienced politician to be misled by such ill., founded optimism Conceding for the sake of argu- ment that he will win the party nomination. his biggest hurdle will have to be laced in the general election the following November.
 Right now that looks to be an alnloSt insur- rnountable obstacle for almost any candidate run ming on the Republican ticket Of course. it is more than year until that even occurs and many developments might ranspire which would

The Governments Example.
(New York Herald Tribune.)

If President Hoover had wished to discourage every private employer endeavoring to keep many employees in jobs possible, he could scarcely have done anything effective than the threat ened cut in the Navy. In view of the Administra- tions long and consistent fight to preserve jobs and keep wages up to a living standard the charge of inconsistency is unacceptable
 We do not share the opinion prevalent in Wash ington that the country little about national defense and that the Army and Navy are in ordi- nary times fair game for political attack The n- dex of editorial opinion overwhelmingly the other way. The country voted for strong national defense when it voted for the Republican Party in mind.
 But even if the Washington view were correct these not ordinary times" Unemployment has become a great national tragedy. It must be met in every possible method consonant with American principles. The President has done an admirable work in opposing the dole and insisting that the answer lies in jobs; but what becomes of his plea Tiff in one of the most important industries in his charge (the Navy) he threatens to close yards lay up ships halt construction and inevitably add thou sands to the ranks of the unemployed?
 To the precise contrary, have contended in these columns, the present is the moment for increasing construction for enlsting not fewer men out the example is vital. Unless the problem of unemployment is approached by every employer in this spirit it cannot possibly be solved.
 As we have previously attempted to make clear the Presidents attitude seems to us unsound from every point of view, abandonment of established domestic policy and destruction of any influence toward the reduction of world armaments; but he most tragic effect of the example in our ildg- ment, IS upon the more immediate problem of caring for the nations workers. If times are so bad that workers in the nations first line of de- fense must be sacrificed, what job anywhere is safe?

A Vote Against Panic.
(New York Times.)

At Vancouver the American Federation of Labor has declared against compulsory unemployment in- surance under Government supervision. The un- favorable report from the Committee Resolutions was sustained after warm debate the floor. Since the summary rejection of a similar resolution last year there has been decided growth of sentiment lin favor of compulsory insurance and it is the opinion of correspondent at the convention that Tiff hard times continue for another year it will be difficult to prevent the 1892 convention from re- versng todays vote But, obviously another year of depression on top of two years already behind us would constitute a factor of grave importance for workers as well as everybody else in the country. A change under such pressure will be compre- henSible. For the moment it is enough to note that the veteran federation leaders the who are presumably most deeply conscious of the pur- poses of the trade-union movement and its best in terests, are opposed to insurance. The votes in favor were cast by delegates from such white collar" unions as the teachers and the postoffce clerks or from the Pacific Coast unions The metal workers, seamen and typographers were opposed.
 The opponents of insurance frankly rejected it as a threat to organized labor. They feared its effects on freedom of action by the unions. They made the point that organized labor has more to gain by collective bargaining and other forms of action than through insurance relief But along with this avowal of selfinteres there made itself heard in the Vancouver debates what may be called the assertion of Credo it is still too early to confess than the special conditions under which American labor has lived and prospered have to end; that the chapter of higher living stan- dards and freer opportunities has been closed. An other year of hard times may force a change of view but another year the majority in the fedora ton is willing to wait.
 The action at Vancouver might well as an example of steadfastness and intelligent self in terest to nervous business men who have been be- having and talking if the end of this familiar American world of opportunity courage, energy and enterprise were here. They ought to be willing to wait little while longer before throwing up their hands and calling for revolutions and miracles The Federation of Labor, with general unempoy- ment rate of perhaps 25 per centand in trades nearly 30 per cent-has been hard hit as any economic interest in the country.

A POINTER FOR ACTING SECRETARY
 MORGAN.

Alaska. declared Acting Secretary Morgan United States Department of Commerce, has "soune reasons" for sharing in any profits that may accrue from the administration of the seal herds a the Pribilof Islands. But another executive de partment, the Department of Agriculture, holds ex actly the opposite. Alaska, it holds not only ha an equity in the timber resources but is entitled have them developed if they compete with botf privately and public forests in other sections of the United States.
 Perhaps if MT. Morgan would study a statement issued recently by the latter department through Acting United States Forester L. F Kneip, he would discover few reasons thit were not discernabe tc him when he wrote the Juneau Chamber of Con- merca curtly dismissng its petition asking TOT division of revenues from the sealing industry,
 Two short paragraphs from MT. Knsips state ment illustrate the wide divergence of views en- tertaned by the two branches of the Government They follow:
 Alaska is a Territory of the United States
 Its people are American citizens. Its econ-
 omic and social advancement is matter of
 national interest ana concern Its lack Of
 complete self gov errnent establishes an ad-
 ditional obligation upon the nation to avoid
 creation of conditions inimca to its wei
 fare.
 The development of Alaska has been in
 the face of many handcaps Its early wealth
 of placer gold largely has been exploited
 and a number ot circumstances have mill
 tated against the development of lode min-
 ing to a compensatory degree. Proper con-
 servation of its seal and fisheries resources
 compels limitation upon their exploitation
 Fur production, by trapping or farming, does
 not seem to afford much larger possibilities
 for expansion Agriculture has its limita-
 tions due partly to climatic and soil factors,
 partly to the competition of the products
 of the continenta United States and part
 ly to world conditions The people of
 Alaska therefore confronted with many
 serious problems in thef efforts to hold
 the gains already made and to properly
 build up their social and industrial insti- tutions.
 Therefore MT. Kneip contends, and he was sup ported by Secretary Hyde of his own Department, the Territory has a right to ask that the Govern ment lend every legitimate aid in the early de- velopment of its forests that the revenues it re- ceives from that source may be augmented.
 The seal herds are just much resource of the Territory the forests The industry that the Government has built and operates at the Pribilofs is as Alaskan the contemplated pulp and paper mills And the Territory has just as much right to share in the revenues from the one as the other.
