A GOOD TICKET
With the nomination of Harding
for president and Coolidge for vice
president, the Republicans face the
1920 campaign with the strongest
ticket we ever knew them to go to
the polls with.
Senator Harding is a country
newspaperman and printer. He ad
mits that he is a better printer than
he is a senator, and he goes into the
composing room of his newspaper
and gets his hands in the ink and
makes up the paper and sees it to
press when he is resting at home.
Aside from that he is a successful
business man. director of a bank and
manufacturing concerns and has
made it all himself- by shrewdness,
economy and hard work. Incidental
ly he is a deacon in the church. He
was for preparedness and fought for
it when such ideas were not popu
lar in the United States, and he was
against the League of Nations as
President Wilson brought it home
from France with him, and is yet.
Governor Coolidge is a country
lawyer, who lives frugally and is too
bashful to make many acquaintances
—a silent man. There is nothing
against him, he is afraid of nothing
in the schape of critism and the people
of his home state are for him all
the way. He was first elected Gov
ernor by 20,000 majority- Next time
he was stopping the Boston police
strike, organized labor was entirely
against him and the fight against
him was bitter but Massachusetts
elected him by 130,000 that time—
which was going some.
The Republican party, under Lin
coln. saved the Union. In so doing
it saved this continent from Europ
eanization. Had secession triumphed,
what is now the United States of
America, the most powerful nation
of earth, would have been two.
three, five or more petty nations,
glaring at one another across arm
ed border lines, arrayed against one
another by European intrigue, in
volved in European entanglements
through the necessity of foreign al
liances to maintain national integrity.
Because each of the sectional na
tions thus created would have lac.k
of economic independence, there
would have been continual conflict
among these new-world powers, or
an armed neutrality such as Europe
preserved before the World war.
Only because the calamity of dis
union was averted by the Republican
party in the years of its youth, we
have preserved a -united and peace
ful America while Europe, during ail
the years since Lincoln’s day has
been constantly either in conflict or
within the shadow of war.
The European war-began, natural
ly. in the Balkans, where the doc
trine of "self determination of p -o
pJes” has flowered in a half dozen
little nationalities which became
pawns in the great game the prin
cipal powers of Europe were play
ing. The two Balkan wars were
prophetic to thoughtful men of what
was to come. The world war has
closed with the creation of a dozen
more new small nations on the Bal
kan model,—a dozen more causes of
war. Instead of giving Europe that
one hope of peace that would have
come with larger federation, we have
de-federalized Europe. Under the
leadership of men vvno are Europ
ean in their conceptions of politics,
the effort has been made, not to
Americanize Europe but to Euro
peanize America. Yet Americanism
has meant unity and peace; Euro
peanism has meant division and war.
and will continue to mean disunion,
and war. The very statesmen who
have talked of world-wide peace as
the harvest of the world war, have
sown the seed of future wars thick
in the soil of Europe and of Asia.

VOICE OF ALASKA PRESS
Dan Sutherland, Republican candi
date for delegate to congress came up
6n the steamer Washburn and is now
headed for the Tolovana country.
After a short stay there, he will go
to Fairbanks, then come to Ner.ana,
and thence to the coast by way of the
Broad Pass.—Nenana News.
Dr. George Bird Grinnell may be
and probably is absolutely correct in
saying that Alaskans are viewing
William T. Hornaday’s Alaska game
propaganda activities in too serious a
light. But at least they have good
excuse. It was largely, if not en
tirely, due to his pernicious opposi
tion that the late Charles A. Sulzer,
while Delegate from Alaska, was un
able to get a new game law enacted
by congress. Governor Riggs and
Delegate Grigsby have encountered
the same opposition and up to the
present time it has been too strong
to overcome. These things are !
known, and until Alaskans have been
able to scotch the snake and counter
act his insidious Influence, there
%
seems to be little hope that future j
efforts along this line will have any j
better success than past undertak
ings.—Juneau Empire.
ELECTRICITY FROM SUNLIGHT
An interesting suggestion about the
“power of tomorrow” is' made by a
writer in the British Nineteenth Cen
j tury. He looks forward cheerfully to
the day when all our electric power
stations will be useless except for|
museum purposes. Noting that elec
tricity is akin to light, he points out
that all that is necessary is to find
some way of overcoming the disparity
in wave-length between the two. Ad
mitting that there are extraordinary
difficulties in the way, he thinks that
they may eventually be overcome and
that we shall derive our electricity
direct from sunlight. When that takes
place industrial supremacy will be
transferred to tropical countries.
Meanwhile, Sir Charles Parsons, the
famous turbine inventor, has renewed
his suggestion of finding unlimited
sources of power from the heat of the
earth by digging a hole eighty-odd
miles deep. British scientific imag
ination is clearly in a very active con
dition.—Ex.
We talk a great deal about common
sense; probably because it is such a
rare quality.
