The Juneau Empire takes exception to a statement in the All-Alaska
Review which said in its first issue that the regular political parties in Alaska
are occupied too much with the consideration of place finding. The Empire—
and it is easy to understand why—seemed to think this statement meant that
parties which are not regular are superior to the regular ones in this respect.
Such, of course, could not be the meaning of the Review, What was meant,
unquestionably, was merely that the adherents of the regular parties are the
only ones that could hope for political preferment. The “independents** were
not mentioned, it can probably be said without hesitation, simply because there
was no necessity to mention them. They certainly are not more unselfish than
the men who stick by their parties.
The Empire states, however, that such a suggestion may not have been
intended by the Review and it goes on to say that the chief purpose of poli
tical parties should be the achievement of good government.
The fine organ of the democrats in the capital is surely right.
The litigation over the railroad in Washington is hardly worth bothering
with. 1‘eople should remember that it is nothing but a tight between parties
independent of the government altogether. It is just like one of those fights
which occur so often in placer mining camps over a dump. One party claims
the ground and another party claims it and a third party has a lease on the
ground and a dump hoisted. 1'he court lets the dirt he sluiced up and the out*
put is placed in escro until the scrap is over. The courts will do the same
practically in the railroad case. The government will take over the Alaska
Northern and let the litigants scrap over the dollars to their heart’s content.
Some papers show a most regrettable desire to play up all the stuff that
is detrimental to Seward as the terminal. One paper iu a neighboring town,
which is not Cordova, seems to take a real pleasure in giving great space to
intelligence that appears to be unfavorable to this city. It even goes the
length of coloring the telegraphic dispatches for the same purpose. Let
them quit and have sense.

Douglas News: Every now and

something terrible will happen, and
there is no need to print it—every

begin to rattle. It will last for a week

something more or less terrible comes
——— ■ ■"1 ... —
along, something more or less import
ant—anti then everybody forgets the
first and talks about the last happen
ing. Time heals all wounds. Thn
least said the soonest mended, so
don’t get excited. There’ll be another
one along in the morning. Keep your
shirt on. Let the other fellow make a
fool of himself. Take a drink and for
get it.
