SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1920
CORDOVAN IS HONORED
Chairman Will Hays of the Repub
lican national committee has not only
recognized Alaska in the appointment
of George n Hazelet as a member of
the committee on platform and prin
ciples of the Republican party, but
has also paid a high tribute to the
business and political sagacity of our
townsmen.
The object of the committee will be
to report a tentative platform to the
resolutions committee of the national
convention to be held at Chicago next
June. It will be composed of sixty
members, representing all the states •
and territories, and includes such
prominent men as former President
William Howard Taft, former Supreme
Court Justice Charles E. Hughes, ex
Senator Elihu Root, Senator Lodge,
Colonel Roosevelt and Speaker of the
House of Representatives Gillett.
Possibly no one in Alaska would be
better able to represent this territory
•b such an important matter as Mr.
Hazelet. He is one of the pioneer
residents of this Northland, has
“mushed” the trails, made gold and
copper discoveries, and has materially
assisted in the developments of its
resources. Being familiar with the
weeds of the country, Mr. Hazelet is
1b position to render a most valuable
service by having an Alaska plank in
the Republican platform. As there
is every indication that this party
will be in cqptrol of the affairs of gov
ernment after the presidential elec
tion next November, his recommenda
tions may result in some constructive
legislation for Alaska, which is so
badly needed.
Chairman Hays’ appointment show
ed his confidence in Mr. Hazelet’s abil
ity to serve with distinguished citi
aens from all parts of the nation on a
matter of vital importance to the peo
ple as a whole. This being the case,
would It not be wise for the Repub
licans of Alaska to send Mr. Hazelet
as one of its two delegates to the
national convention? He will certainly
be in close touch with the party lead
ers in serving on the platform com
mittee, and much good might ulti
mately result to the territory by his
election as a delegate to the national
convention.
SELECT THE BEST TIMBER
Those of us who are vitally inter
ested in the territory should study
toe qualifications of the men running
in the coming election, and see that
all dead timber is eliminated. There
are too many laws and not enough en
forcement; too much legislation that
is frivolous and for the classes. If
Alaska is-ever to go ahead she must
be represented by Alaskans. The man
who has lived in the territory be
eause it is his home and he likes it
will better represent the district from
which he "is elected than the genius
who takes office because he desires
the fame attached, and who has in
terest in nothing else but his salary.
‘The next few years may bring mo
mentous questions for the people of
Alaska to solve. A legislature which
ererrides the wishes of its constitu
ents, or which is intensely radical, has
unlimited powers for doing harm just
at this time. The territory needs cap
ital. Capital should be protected in
stead of persecuted. The territory
needs labor, which should be safe
necessary to the welfare of this great
■
guarded by the proper laws. Both are
empire, and both should be accorded
needed legislation.—Valdez Miner.
The sympathy of the newspaper fra
ternity of Alaska goes out to Editor
J. Harmon Caskey of the Fairbanks
Citizen, whose plant was yesterday
destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of
Bearly $40,000.
M’BRIDE FOR COMMITTEEMAN
It is gratifying to know that J. C.
McBride, one of Juneau’s representa
tive business men, and an old-time
Alaskan, has consented to become a
candidate for Republican national
committeeman. The Daily Times
takes great pleasure in indorsing Mr.
McBride for this honorary office, be
lieving that he is eminently qualified
to intelligently and satisfactorily dis
charge the duties that will devolve
upon the successful aspirant.
In a statement issued today Mr.
McBride declares that the only faction
he belongs to favors Alaskans for ter
ritorial offices and the selections will
be left to the party organizations of
the different judicial divisions. He
also wants the control of the fisheries
and other industries vested in Alaska,
and on his announced platform he
should have the support of every g V
Republican at the primaries in April
INDIVIDUALITY
Individuality has always been nailed
to the cross, burned at the stake, flay
ed, hanged, or caused to drink from
the poisoned cup.
Mediocrity has been exalted, pro
claimed1'' from the house tops by the
populace, and worshipped as a demi
god.
Individuality will ever be unpopu
lar with the masses, for it stands
often for a change in the general or
der of things, upsets fixed and well
rooted ideas. It requires effort.
.Mediocrity runs in the same old rut,
a comfortable, snug, indolent loving1
procedure, and abhors effort.
Hence Individuality is unpopular,
while Mediocrity pleases.
But all advances, all improvements,
all benefit for the masses came as a
result of Individuality.
While radicalism, anarchy, supersti
tion, ignorance, and misery are child
ren of Mediocrity.
The great problem of the world
must be solved now. Autocracy has
fallen, but Mediocrity is still very
much alive.
Individuality-Tnust again come for
ward, though persecuted, for in no
ether way can the great problems of
the day be solved.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
They are coining back now in good
>y numbers from the states and the/

Gateway.

“The future of Alaska is most prom
ising,” says J. L. McPherson of the
Seattle, Alaska Bureau Chamber of
Commerce. A little less promising
and more action is what we want.—
