lutely essential on account of the
high cost of material and labor.

A MAN AMONG MEN
It is most gratifying to know that1
the Republican voters and press of
the territory are almost unanimous
in their indorsement of the candidacy
of J. C. McBride of Juneau for the
somination for national committee
man at the primaries to be held the
last Tuesday in April. That he is the !
choice of the rank and file and the j
papers of his party is evidenced by j
the indorsements given him by indi-1
victuals, clubs, and all of the news
papers with the exception, of course,
•f the Anchorage Times.
“Jack” McBride is one of the sub
stantial residents of Alaska, where he
lias resided for twenty years or more.
During all of that time he has never
hteld office, and has always been a
free lance so far as factional fights,
are concerned. He is a well-known j
business man, who is on the square,
and he has the interests of the terri
tory and its people at heart. Such a
candidate the Republicans should take
pleasure in supporting, and after he
has been elected national committee
man he will give a good account of
his stewardship of that important of

WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY
, j
-•
I
The fame of George Washington
lived down every criticism and critic
directed against him. Today his name
is reverenced beyond that of any other
American, and it is hard to realize
that for the great deeds he had ac
complished he should have made a
great many enemies, who tried to
blacken his character and break his
popularity with the people.
The custom of celebrating February
22 in honor of Washington’s birthday
dates back to 1783. On that day
and year a number of gentlemen who
admired him met in a tavern in New
York. One had written an ode and j
another brought a list of toasts. The j
celebration at once became popular,
and the historian says: “March was
far gone before the Gazettes and Ad
vertisers ceased to publish narratives
©f the bonfires and the barbecues, the
bell-ringing, the cannonading, the
feasting, etc., which came in from
every town in the land.”
But there was a considerable part
•f the community who looked upon
these celebrations with hidden rage,
a writer in the Pasadena Star-News
observes. These consisted mostly of
the admirers of France and the new
republic, and they claimed that the
President was an aristocrat. Was he
not cold and reserved? Did he not
carefully avoid the use of the word
“servant” when he signed1 his letters?
But Washington paid no attention
to thg willful misconstruction of his
most innocent acts. In 1796, for the
frst time In the history of the coun
try, the office of President was open
to competition. Twice had Washing
ton been chosen by the unanimous
rote of the electoral college, and twice
The Producer Who Considers Utility Only
and Not Beauty Will Fail
"lljjr; GEORGE S. JOHNS, Chairman Exposition Committee
_, \ ,
Hie primary purpose of the Art league in originating and planning
the St. Louis Exposition of Industrial Arts and Crafts is to awaken the
business men to the importance of original designs in industry. The
producer who considers utility only without regard to beauty will fail.
The close of the war marks the beginning of a tremendous oppor
tunity for American business in the world market. We must compete
with the manufacturers of the world not alone in quality and price, but in
design. Beauty of design, or line, form, color—the perfect combination
of beauty and utility—is now a governing factor in salesmanship.
America lacks both schools of design and teachers of design. Amer
ican business men—for the subject is of vital interest not only to manu
facturers but to all business men who handle their products—must awaken
to the necessity of making adequate provision for this vital necessity. We
should develop our own industrial arts and crafts—our own designers and
craftsmen.
We hope in this preliminary St. Louis exposition to lay the founda
tion for a great national exposition, which will exhibit the industrial arts
and crafts of the United States. We hope eventually to have an interna
tional exposition.
inaugurated with the warmest appro
bation of the whole people.
But the times had now changed. In
1789 and 1792 every man was for him.
In 1796 in every town and city of the
land were men who denounced him as
an aristocrat, as a monocrat, as an
Anglomaniac. Yet much as his popu
larity suffered, it was still great and
powerful, and thousands of men in the
republican party would gladly have
seen him seated for the third time,
but he refused, and on September 17
made public his farewell address.
His critics stated that the reason
he refused to be a third-time candi
date was said to spring from a knowl
edge that he would not be elected,
not from a want of ambition or a lust
of power. The republicans favored
Adams, who, they said, had the sim
plicity of a republican; but Washing
ton had the ostentation of an Eastern
pasha.

Washington would not serve again,
the merits of a number of candidates
were urged and discussed, and upon
his retirement to Mount Vernon the
opposition to him gradually grew less
violent, and finally his most bitter op
ponents began to recognize the wis
dom of Washington $s a statesman,
as well as they had appreciated his
services as a soldier.
