SEW VRD, At. VSk V. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1913.
The report from Anchorage, mentioned in yesterday’s Gateway, to the
effect that the "foreign” workers had been discharged ami had been barred
from future work can be received in two ways. It must be admitted that those
who have spent many years in Alaska are most deserving of all that comes
from the territory's development, if they want such work us railroad build
ing. No one else should have been invited to come north looking for work
until the men who have given the best years of their lives to the prospecting
of its hills had work, but, at the same time, we ought to have charity enough
in our hearts not to be insulting in our manner and words to the poor devils
who have come from far off lands to escape poverty and who cannot speak
our language that they might make themselves understood. It certainly
is not right that they should come to work for smaller wages or to reduce the
standard of living, but what can you expect from men whom we ourselves
make Pariahs and outcasts? Some of the best citizens of the United States
come from countries which speak another language in spite of the fact that
they are handicapped from the beginning by that peculiar constitutional dis
like which all people have at first meeting for those who express their
thoughts in a “foreign” tongue. Most of the people of the United States
have come from countries whose native language has not been English. It
is true that the majority of the people of America now have names of Eng
lish sound but the very prejudice against foreigners has been the cause of
this. Gradually foreign names have been changed or cast aside in the weak
desire to appear like one of the majority, and this weakness is made evident
in all countries nationally and religiously. We should not forget this when
we are tempted to be uncharitable or to use offensive names, which, at best,
are the very essence of vulgarity and are. therefore, more hurtful to our
selves than to those to whom they are applied. Heal charity is like mercy.
"It is twice blessed. It blesseth him who gives and him w ho takes.”
Men who occupy any public positions should act above board if they
wish to avoid suspicion. Secrecy is essentially the cloak ot the man who
has something he wants to hide. It really seems remarkable how some men
cannot see that they will gain much more respect if they come out openly
and boldly and take the public which elected them into their confidence,
especially when they are dealing with the public purse and business. And.
men who may be perfectly honest and honorable often seem to harbor the
peculiar idea that because a thing is done secretly it is done cleverly. This
idea is rubbish.

HOW THE PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES WILL BE
PICKED ANI) GROOMED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—'The
real, regular machinery which will
pick ami groom the next Republican
and Democratic candidates for presi
dent will be started up in December. j
With the meetings here of the Na
tional committees at that time, the
dates and places of meetings of the
Democratic and Republican conven-1
tions will be decided upon. From then
on, committee headquarters here will
be busily watching booms, primaries,
delegations and the other details of
the program of picking the president.
Chicago, Philadelphia and San,
Francisco are bidding for the re
publican convention. The seaboard
cities find Chicago’s central location
is the chief thing they have to com
l at and each is going about oi!setting
this in her own way. The convention
will be held the latter part of June. ]
Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, Bu Tulo
and Omaha are contenders for the
democratic convention.
Responding to a demand following
the last Republican convention, there
has been a cut of ninety delegates,
largely among the southern delega
tion, which represented districts in
which there is little republican
strength. The number cut otf is as
follows: Alabama, 8; Arkansas, 3;
Florida, 4; Georgia, 12; Louisiana. 8;
Mississippi, 8; New York, 2; North
Carolina, 3; South Carolina, 7; Ten
nessee, 2; Texas, 14; Virginia, 9; It
has been ruled that the Hawaiian,
Philippine and Porto Rican delegates,
numbering ten, cannot vote, and they
are included in the ninety.
This brings the number of Republi
can delegates down to 988. The
Democratic delegation number 1,088.
In nineteen states, the delegations
are now chosen by primaries, and
these are looked forward to with keen
interest as showing the desires of the
; country in the matter of candidates.
The primaries will be held as follows:
Indiana, March 7; Minnesota,
March 14; New Hampshire, Marsh.
14; North Dakota, March 21; Miehi
: gan, April 3; Wisconsin, New York,
Illinois; April 4; Iowa, April 10; Ne
braska, Oregon, April 18; Mas

In Alabama, there is a primary bill
pending in'the legislature and in Ver
mont the primary bill passed will be
voted upon as a referendum this wint
er. Of the 988 republican delegates,
582 or considerably over half, are
named in this way, and slightly over
half of the democratic delegates. The
remainder are chosen in caucuses.
Sentiment at democratic headquart
ers here is all Wilson. At republican
headquarters officials are “strictly
neutral" on candidates.
The action to bo taken by the Pro
gressive party is expected to be made
known by Committee Chairman
Victor Murdock at Wichita, Kansas,
in a few weeks.
STOCK RAISING NEAR
HAINES ON PAYING BASIS
“Shorty” Do Grande, a rancher op
erating on a homestead in the neigh
borhood of Davidson Glacier, a lew
miles below the town of Haines raises
cattle. He has been very successful
in the last few years. Messrs. Ed.
Woods and J. Dennerline, of Haines,
bought 12 head of two years old on
a scow yesterday down to the Jualin
mine for De Grande. He expects to
have three times this number next
year for the open market.
The cattle raising business is being
carried on to some extent in and
around Haines. Several homestead
ers have good herds.—Juneau Dis
