HOOSEVELT AND THE MACHINE
Some people think that because Presi
dent Roosevelt makes terms with politi
cal machines and bosses, as he did with
the "stand pat"congresaional machine a
year ago, and as he did with the Penn
sylvania and Ohio machines during: the
recent campaign, that he is an insin
cere demagogue, but the inference is
unwarranted. There is every reason
to believe that these "compromises"
are as distasteful to the president as
they are to others, and that they are
forced uoon him more frequently than
he would like to have them. He enters
Into these compacts because he believes
they offer the best means by which
results can be obtained, and he is a
strenuous seeker for results.
President Roosevelt is intensely
practical. He is a thorough believer
in the old maxim that a half loaf is
better than no bread; and, while it has
not always appeared immed
eatly^ after ?ach ??com
promise" he has gotten his half loaf?
and the bread secured has been FOR
THE PEOPLE, as he understood their
need.
Thare is the test of President Roose
velt's sincerity. He has not trafficked
with the machines and bosses to make
himself richer or to build up a political
machine for self-agrandizement or
other sinster purposes, howbeit he is
admittedly ambitious for power and
glory, enjoys the exercise of the one
and is tickled with the sense of the
other.
President Roosevelt is a practical
politician of great skill and shrewdness:
but he uses his practical experience, |
shrewdness, skill and all the power he
can develoo (he is a persistent culti
vator of power) in the cause of good
government for the people as he
understands good government. The
machines, the bosses and the special
nterests divide the powers of govern
ment with him. To xet the assistance
of their power.when necessary, he will
exchange his power, and influence for it
Liken the governmental authorities
that be to a board of arbitration for the
purpose of settling the differences be
tween the people and the special inter
eats. President Roosevelt is the
arbiter of the people. The machines and
bosses represent the interests. The
president, that he might get something
for his people, plays practical politics.
Ke gives and takes with the others.
Washington did that. Jefferson con
sented to it on one notable occasion,
bough he regretted that he had done
s o the remainder of his life. It was
Clay's common rule of action. Lincoln
was forced to it, as ha* been nearly
every statesman who has gotten results
since the beginning of time.
'BUSINESS MEM" AND SELF
GOVERNMENT
The Juneau Dispatch says tbe "busi
ness m*n" does not want territorial
government. What does it mean by
that statement? That a few business
men of Juneau and a few others? very
few? scattered here and there over the
territory do not want it? Probably,
for it knows, or (hould know, that tbe
busine?s men of Fairbanks, of Nome, of
Skagwsy and most of the other towns
?f Alaska are in favor of it, and voted
for it when they voted for C&le and
Waskey and Swint ford for delegates to
congress.
The Record-Miner's contention that
that business men see nothing but senti
mentality io self-government for Alas
ka's is a libel on the real business men
of this district. The real business men
of Alaska do not see "extra expense,"'
in self-government for this district.
There would be no "extra expense" and
those who have looked into the ques
tion know it.
Business m?n see in self-government
the abolition of the iniquitous license
tax and an opportunity for the people
to ieavy, collect and expend their taxes
as they see St. They see an opportuni
ty to amend the school laws so that
white schools cm be established in un
incorporated places where there are
fewer than 20 pupils, and those re
moved fom the control of Jackson,)
Kelly tc Co. They see an opportunity j
to amend and amplify the mining laws, j
They see an opportunity to correct the
defects in their municipal incorporation
act. They see, in short, all the practi
cal benefits from laws made by those
who understand the conditions, and they
see them administered by men chosen
by themselves. They see officials the
servants and not the masters. They
see practical government.
The Daily Alaskan is .speaking of the
REAL BUSINESS MEN t>K ALASKA,
not those speculators who cm maintain
a lobby of special favor seekers at
Washington, nor of those promoters
who can work their stockholders to put
up money for expenses for Washington
spent winters.
After all said lust Tuesday's
election seems to be the greatest repub
lican triumph in an o'!' year in more
than 10 years. In but one congress in
more than a decade has the republican
majority in tne house been as large as
it will be in the next? and that is the
present one. I
? . I
Charles E. Hughes, who will be gov
ernor of New York for the next two ,
years, will have to be reckoned with as
a presidential possibility ?yea, more j
than that, as a presidential probability. '
The democratic victory in New York
was considerably like the pLy of Ham- <
