HARDING, COOLIDGE AND
VICTORY
While conceding the sterling integ
rity, the great ability and the many
other admiral qualities possessed by
the other candidates, we fell con
strained to say that the Chicago con
vention could not possibly have made
two better selections than were made
in naming United States Senator War
ren G. Harding, of Ohio, as the Re
publican candidate for president, and
Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massa
chusetts, as the Republican candidate
for vice-president at the coming
national election. The attitude of
both candidates on the questions of
the day are well known and approved
by a majority, not only of the dele
gates to the convention, but by the
voters as well. Both have had con
siderable experience in officiol public
life and have distinguished them
selves therein.
Senator Harding has been in the
newspaper business since 1884 and
is editor of the Marion Star, publish
ed by the Harding Publishing Com
pany, of wdiich he is president. He has
twice been state senator from the
thirteenth Ohio district, and served
one term as lieutenant governor of
Ohio. He wrns elected as United
States senator November 3, 1915, and
his term of office will expire March
3, 1921, the day before he will be
sworn in as •president of the United
States.
Senator Harding is chairman of
the following committees: commerce,
expenditures of the treasury depart
ment, foreign relations, Pacific
islands, and Porto Rico, public health
and national quarantine, standards,
weights and measures and territories.
He has displayed conspicuous ability
in every position which he has been
called upon to fill.
Senator Harding has been consist
ently opposed to the policies of the
present administration, especially as
applied to the League of Nations. He
is an ardent believer in the principle
of adequate tariff protection for up
building and maintenance of the su
premacy of American standards of
labor and industry. Any defects in
the platform on the important issues
of the day will be more than counter
balanced by the personality and
Americanism of Senator Harding.
The record of Governor Coolidge is
well known. His admirable stand in
the matter of the police strike of
Boston resulted in his triumphant
election as governor. He is a man of
great ability, of firmness of charac
ter, and is capable of filling any of
fice within the gift of the nation.
As might have been expected, the
administration papers have hastened
to criticise the nominations. What
tbev have had to say is the best evi
dence of the panic into which the
action of the convention has thrown
them. The severest criticism which
thej have been able to make however,
is that the nominees have not had
sufficient experience. It is true that
neither one has yet occupied the pres
idential or vice-presidential chair. It
is also true that General Grant had
never distinguished himself as a gen
eral until the civil war created the
opportunity. Nor had Abraham Lin
coln, the greatest of all our presi
dents, had any more qualifying ex
perience than has Senator Harding or
G vernor Coolidge. Tt is noticeable,
however that not one of the opposi
tion papers have ventured to attack
the character of the candidates. On
the contrary, the New York Times
says editorially:
“It is fortunate that not a word 's
to be said against the character of
either candidate. They are irre
proachable.”
That is a graceful acknowledgement
and we trust that the Republican
papers may be able to make the same
graceful and truthful concession with
regard to the nominees of the San
Francisco convention.
The nominations mean that we
shall have an era of nationalism, in
stead of internationalism, that we
shall have as the head of the nation
a man who thinks for “America first,”
and not even of himBelf first. They
mean that we shall have as president
a man who, while he has a mind of
his own and has great firmness and
determination, vet who' shall not at
(
tempt to dictate to and usurp the
prerogatives of the law-making and
treaty making branch of the govern
ment. They mean that we will have a
clean man of up-standing character
who will command the confidence and
respect of all parties and all indivi
duals. They mean that the country
is about to redeem itself and that we
shall once more have “a government
of the people, by the people, for the
people.”
The nomination of Harding and
Coolidge is gratifying, if for no other
reason than that it “pleases” the Dem
ocrats so much.
It will be impossible to spring any
third party this year that will not
make even more certain the position
of the Republican as the first party.
President Wilson has vetoed a bill
passed by congress because it con
tained faulty grammar. The adminis
tration’s grammar department is the
only one that has not broken down;
it has always worked overtime.
And speaking of birthdays and
celebrations, that of the Fourth of
July ought to be a humdinger next
year when it is considered that the
next vice-president of (the republic
was born on the anniversary of Amer
ican independence.
The next birthday of Warren G.
Harding, of Ohio, will be the occasion
for national celebration, for the date
of it will be November 2, 1920, and the
American people will celebrate the
occasion by electing him president
of the United States.
“Politics with a jimmy is never to
be recommended,” says the Charlotte,
N. C., News-Observer, Democratic or
gan. Why, then does the Democratic
press of North Carolina stand for the
gate’s election laws and practices
constructed and operatde as an offi
cial machine for commiting grand lar
ceny?
Since Baindridge Colby’s appoint
ment as secretary of state, he has
frequently demonstrated that his is
a. mind that goes along with Wilson’s.
His despicable comparison of Senator
Lodge’s Chicago speech to a girl
graduate’s commencement essay and
his insulting comments on the nomi
nation of Senator Harding travel in
intimate company with President Wil
son’s rhetoricisms—“pigmy minds”
a.nd “contemptible quitters.”
| VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
That the lure of gold has not lost
its power among sourdoughs is evi
denced by the fact that there are at
least fifty prospecters combing the
hills of Chichagof Island and vicinity
in search of the yellow metal. They
were all stampeded to that locality
last fall by the news of the big strike
of last fall near Stag Harbor and the
great richness of the Chichagoff
mine.—Douglas News.
The decision of the members of
Nome Igloo of Pioneers to withdraw
from the organization on account of
the amendment to the laws passed at
the Grand Igloo, at the Anchorage
convention in March, allowing men
who have resided in the territory
since 1905 to become members of this
great order, should not be taken seri
ously by the balance of the Igloos.
Nome is just recovering from a long,
cold, dull winter, and like a ground
rattler shedding its skin in the early
days of spring is ready and anxious
to fight anything and everything.
When the sun returns to the North
land and the broad tundras are a riot
of colors, and newcomers bring a
spirit of optimism to the city, all will
be forgotten, and we trust, forgiven
One good mess of greens and a dose
or two of calomel and our neighbors
of the second divison will acknow
ledge their error and return to the
greatest organization in the world.—

Stockholm.—Jenn.s Jonssen. a farm
er. residing at Famen, died there af
ter a week’s illness.
The corpse, having been placed in
a coffin, was kept for three days in
the house, where neighbors came to
pay their last respects and to partake
of the usual refreshments served on
those occasions. The company was
greatly alarmed when on the evening
of the fourth day the “dead man’:
Shame on You All!”
arose in his coffin to an upright posi
tion and addressed the following
words to his family and friends:
ou thought me dead. I may have
been, but the sounds of your revelry
awoke me. Shame on you all for
spending my money in feasting! I
have done with you, and prefer the
next world to >our society.”
The man thereupon sank back in
his coffin and died in reality this
time. He was buried the following
day, the whole village turning out to
attend the funeral.
