WICKERSHAMANDTHE3 HOUR LAW
In nis address deli re r?d at Fairbanks
immediately after the first announce
ment of bis candidacy, Judge Wiener
sham said:
"I pledge you my word that I shall
do everything that an honorable man
can do to be elected: If I am elected, I
will carry out as best I can every pledge
which I make to this audience this
evening." The pledge that he made
to that audience that evening wits
printed in the Alasksn only a few days
a tfO in tbe form of his platform.
John Konan has repudiated the eight
hour plank which occupied so prom
inent a place in Undemocratic p'atform,
saying it is "special legislation."
Judge Wickshersham deliberately
placed this plank in the platform writ
tea b.v himself on which be is going
before the people for election. Re
garding that plank? regarding tbe
proposition to have enacted an eight
bour law, and at this , same meeting
where be pledged his word as an hon
orable man to work for It, Judge Wick
sbarn said:
"In my judgment It is impossible to
induce congress to pass no act establish
tog right hours (or a day's work iu all
pursuits in life io Alaska, and I will
not promise to undertake to do It. It is
impossible to get congress to do it. Hut
it is not lmposib'e to get congress to pass
an act making eight hours a day's work
la miaes and iu other places where the
hoalth ard safety ot men are jeopard
ized.
"The supreme court of the United
Statesju a cmc iu tho 109 U. S. held just
such an act as that to be constitutional,
and I am favor of th it kind of an act.
In other words I am in favcr of a law
limiting the hours of labor in gold and
coal mines, and other mines whore life
and health of men are jeopardized.
That is as far as an honest man cun go.
And whenever u man stands on this
platform and says to ycu that If you will
elect him to congress he will got an act
passed making eight hours a day's labor
in all pursuits of life, in Alasta, he is
not honest and you ought not to vote
for him, beciuse ho is not honest with
you. I will help you accomplish just
what I said I would, and that Is all I
can houestly promise you."
WHIT MRS. ROOSEVELT STANDS FOR
. , correspondent tell* a story of a vis
itation of a suffragette to the White
house during an informal reception by
Mr?. Roosevelt. The suffragette In
sisted upon having Mrs. Roosevelt "scud
somowordof her advocacy of the Teat
cause to our IxMidon club," and could
not be put otT.
"But you surely want to help woraanN
rights to victory," said the suffragette.
"I want," suiiled Mrs. Roosevelt In
her quiet, decisive way, "women to
have everything that can make them
happy, but I sometimes feel afraid that
in the hurrahing over one victory for
these new rights for women there may
sltp away a dozen of the old preroga
tives we hive always had just because
we wero women. I really think it's a
great deal liner thing to havr a husband
or a brother or a son ajt on yonr advice
than to do the thing yourself."
If it had boen the American car that
won out in the round-the-world race,
New York to Paris, it would not have
been so bad: but what bitterness that
in a contest proposed by the French, in
a game which was generally accepted
to be their own, a German car should
te the first to enter Paris.
The judiciary branch of tho Federal
government having failed to catch the
Standard Oil the executive branch
promis s to take a hard. How are you
betting?
The dt-uial of Rojestvenski that he is
dead ought to be accepted as final,
although he, no doubt, wishes It were
true.
Sherman may have to do the Tom
C&le act? dlsqnaiiGetl by his owq ill
heal'h.
Ach Gott -the German is ahead.
