EDITORIAL PAGE
Hut the briefest outline of the
president's message can be secured
by Alaska newspaper*, but from that
jrief outli'n wo are led to the be
lief that Mr. Wilson has made a
profound impression on the minds
hi. the American people. lx>ng be
tore iiis inauguration he had mani
fested that he could keep his own
council, and now he advises us to
\? aii until there is an assurance of
tigiit, and then go ahead. He Is
moved b) impulse, but by grave
,.ud deliberate judgment. With a
. .a.. influence? which must
i .nv poweriully urged him to select
iV|>reseaiatt\cs from the capitalistic
11 erests, in the filling of his cabi
net, he listened to tfiem all and
i.ien i hose those w hom he thAught
be.>t for the welfare of the country.
t hen in ins speech he took the
people into his confidence. He
,..ed the honest men to advise, and
Ithful to sustain him, and he
; roiutS' d that with their assistance
he would not fail as president of
llio United States. He gives every
j, an his ear. but few his tongue.
In the selection of William Jen
l'iugs iiry ut as Secretary of State,
h? has a > ured t he assisUnce of one
of the ablest men of the world, a
n, ..n w'no 1 as never yet been charged
with political or other crookedness,
aid one w hose knowledge of Anierl
: lira is the e?iual or superior
.> his own. The secretary of state
i is first in rank among
the members of the cabinet. His
st range of public
affairs. He is charged with the
dutu-s appertaining to the corre
spondent with the public ministers
nd consuls of the United States,
and wi'h representatives of foreign
ewers. i?l ne gotiations of whatevsC
i trader relating to the foreign af
fairs of the United States. He
. rants a tul sues passports and ex
equaturs, . nd has charge of the
threat Seal of the United States
.nd countersigns and affixes such
I t( \ 't utive proclamations, to
. anotis commissions and to warrants
for the extradition of fugitives from
justice. Under him are a raft of
0 filers a. i 1 departments, such as
the consular service, divisions Of
foreign affairs, bureau of appolnt
i! p:.ts and of accounts etc.
In the tormation of the cabinet
Mr. Wilson has neglected neither
north, east, south nor west. The
Secretary of the Interior he took
from the v tst, because in the west
IS where moat of the dutlea of that
deportment will be exerclaed.
The circumstances under which he
? iters offi' e are most propitious He
f, Hows Wiiiiam Taft who t? not
a success i;nd the comparison will
redound to the glory of the new
dministration. He was the over
wii Imlng choice of the American
people, and has congress with him
tc assist in carrying out the Derao
1 r..tip policies. With honest people
km, lie will not fall. W?
fi r th t honest men did not always
uuide his predecessor, though It is
if .dtlv admitted that he is honest
himself. A
The Nome Nugget pays the follow
ing tribute to those Alaskans who
have made ftnauclal failures during
work in the north:
All honor to the Pioneers of Alas
ka for their efforts toward making
easier the ladt days of the men who
have given their best years to de
veloping the country and who are
threatened with want towards the
end.
The men who have failed have
done as much as the men who suc
ceeded. It takes many failures to
make one success for one is guided
to success by failures. Let us take
any camp in all the North and we
shall find that the number of use
less holes sunk is infinitely great
er than the number in which pay
was found. But the men who sank
holes on barren bedrock worked as
hard as the men who happened to
Sink on thj paystreak. What is
more; the men who dug down in
the paystreak would not hav^ done
so in most cases were it not that
others had dug before them and
shown them where further effort
would be useless.
In all camps it is the very same.
One bunch digs on one creek where
there is nothing. The next bunch
avoids that creek, therefore, and
digs somewhere else. Failures on
all creeks means prospecting in som
other place altogether until pay is
??. last discovered. Are the men
who dug oil the blanks not just as
much entitled to the credit as are
the men who profited by their work?
Yet we are inclined foolishly to
tegard the successful miner as the
only real thing. The other man
v. ho Indirectly put the money in his
pocket oftcu finds himself in want.
As it is with localities so it is
with the whole territory. Men are
ui.dergoing all kinds of hardships
! 11 the time to prospect new parts
of it. The parts in which they meet
failure others will avoid and the
result is success for some, sooner
or later.
It requires failure and' success
io develop a new land as surely as
it requires hydrogen and oxygen to
produce water. As the hydrogen
must be twice as great in amount
at the oxygen the failures must be
twice, yes twenty times, as great
as the successes but both are ab
solutely essential. We should nev
er forget, therefore, the fellow that
fails. Alaska's great future is the
result of his efforts Just as much as
it is the result of the efforts of
him who has grown purse proud
while the men who made him die
In want around him.
There is nothing too good for
the wounded veteran who falls by
the wayside during the march of
civilization into the lands held for
mankind's overflow. He hai work
ed for providence but providence
has held back his pay check for the
present. I.et those who are able
help him to tide over the time un
til he reaches pay on the last gold
en shore of all.
Public Has Awakened to
Power of the Press
By TALCOTT WILLIAMS. Dean of the Pulitzer School of
Journalism. Columbia University
eDrCATION, legislation and public opinion are today each
concerning themselves not with editors or newspapers, but
with the whole fabric of the periodical press, daily, weekly,
monthly. Laws seek to regulate its advertisements and to
secure publicity for its ownership and circulation. ?
THE PUBLIC HAS AWAKENED TO THE PUBLIC RELATIONS OF
JOURNALISM. JOURNALISM HAS BECOME THE ORGANIZED 80CIAL
CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
It It It
The press as a whole has BECOME ONE OF THOSE OR
GANS. like the bench and bar. the medical calling and boards of
health, the body of teachers from the primary school to the univer
sity. the network of religious organization through which society both
knows itd needs, rrakes op its myriad mind and finally acta.
