WE THANK YOU
Ex-Governor Francis, of Missouri,
a most admirable and able gentleman,
has a kindly word for the smaller
newspapers of the country. What he
says is true, the only fault that we
can find with it being that be doesn’t
say enough. This is the article:
“Each year the local editor gives
from $500 to $1,000 in free lines to
the community in which he is located.
No other agency can or will do this.
The editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for his own town
than any ten other men, and in fair
ness he ought to be supported—-not
because you like him or admire his
writings, but because the local paper
is the best investment a community
can make. It may not be brilliantly
edited or crowded with thought, but
financially it i sof more benefit to the
community than the preacher or the
teacher. Understand me. I do not
mean mentally, and yet on moral
questions you will find most of the
papers on the right side. Today the
editor of the local paper does the
most for the least money than any
person on earth.”
Admirably stated, but the governor
might have added that the country
press is more truly representative of
the community than is the metropoli
tan press, no matter how many pages
oi alleged “funny matter” the latter
may contain or how ably prepared
may be the editorial matter. The
editor of a great, city paper very am
bitiously attempts to mould public
opinion, while the editor (and he may
be compositor, proof reader, press
man and “devil” besides) reflects the
views of his constituency. It is not
that he is a “poll parrot,” but that
mingling with his readers as he does,
he absorbs their ideas and they ab
sorb his, so that the paper really rep
resents the community. More power
to the country press.

A PLEASANT CIRCUMSTANCE
L
One of the pleasing circumstances
in connection with the present poli
tical situation in Alaska is the unan
imity with which Democrats through
out the territory are supporting Dem
ocratic National Committeeman Thos.
.T, Donohoe for re-election. There was
not a dissenting vote as far as
known, in the demand which went up
from all four of the Alaskan Judicial
and Legislative divisions for his re
election.
Mr. Donohoe has well earned this
approving testimonial of his conduct
of an important office—particularly
important in Alaska, where govern
ment comes mostly from Washington,
while his party is in control of
National affairs. Mr. Donohoe has
been fair, progressive, deferential to
public sentiment in the various sec
tions of the territory, Democratic to
the uttermost, co-operative, coura
geous, capable and sane. During all
the troublous times he has never lost
bis bead, and never failed to lead.
While he has gone as far as the
public welfare would allow to keep
all the elements of his political party
working together in harmonious co
operation, he has not hesitated to
break with and help to cast out those
who would rule or ruin, who would
create class controversies, who would
delay developing progress in the ter
ritory. M. Donohoe has been a real
party leader, yet a thoughtful and
patriotic citizen, with Alaska’s good
is mind all the time. It is pleasing
ta know that he will have no opposi
tion for re-election.—Juneau Empire.
Just when we figured that the
flowers were about to bloom along
comes another light snow storm to
remind ns that winter is making a
desperate effort to hold on a little
longer, fl
VOICE OF THE £LASKA PRESS*
It might prove a surprise to those
Outside who look upon Alaska still
as a wild frontier camp, denied of
1 many luxuries, that Alaskans in the
' coast cities at least enjoy a longer
strawberry season than almost any
part of the United States.—Juneau
Capital.
- That man Semmes says he can save
a million dollars a year in Alaska
transportation. Sort of seems that
Mr. Justice Brandeis said one time
that government ownership of rail
roads would mean a saving of a mil
lion dollars a day, and it developed
that about that much was lost every
day.—Douglas News.
Billy Sunday recently said if the
Democratic and Republican parties do
►not name candidates for President
who are earnestly in favor of prohi
bition laws the Prohibitionists will
nominate William Jennings Bryan for
President and William Ashlevy Sun
day for Vice-President. He added that
if he were elected William H. Ander
son, leader of the Anti-Saloon League
in New York, would be made am
bassador to England.—Juneau Empire.
