SEWARD, ALASKA, THURSDAY, AUGUST IT, 1916.
President W ilson very rightly refuses to make a
speech tour hut the very fact of his refusal shows the ut
ter democracy of our form of government while at the
same time showing the dignity which attaches to the great
position conferred upon one of themselves by the people
of the nation. The presidency of the l nited States now
is the gift of the greatest place on earth. It is the highest
political honor which this world has in its power to bestow,
and yet it is so bestowed that the recipient must stoop
from his high place every few years and give an account
of his stewardship. At each election the humblest citizen
can help in raising one of his race to High Olympus and
at the close of the term he is gifted with the power to aid
in hurling him thence in turn.
- _ . A . < 1
So successful has been the torm ot government estan
lished by the inspired founders that one often wonders
whv the rest of the world does not follow suit. To thrones
%
in other lands come by accident ninny-hammers, cowards,
weaklings, murderers and nothings, and the people must
bear the yoke. To make such abortion of real government
possible the masses are taught that His Royal Nincom
poop has been specially selected by Providence, thereby in
sulting Providence in many instances by accusing it of
lack of discernment or utter carelessness of the welfare of
the human creatures of lesser fortunes.
Of course, the United States had one great advantage
in having a clean slate to figure on, but so did the other
new countries of this continent. As the new l nited States
were made the virgin soil on which to practise new gov
ernmental forms, by the way, Alaska, another virgin land,
is being made the soil on which to practise new political
and industrial experiments. In this way this territory lie
gins with the finest opportunity, an opportunity very simi
lar to that which was presented to the creators ot the
American Republic who had no outworn and rotten tradi
tions to pervert their views. They were given a rough
block of marble and the chisels ot intelligence, and the
greatest piece of political sculpture in ail political history
is the result.
No wonder that the President of the l nited States,
whoever he might be for a time, considers his office high
and dignified in spite of the fact that he is only the creat
ure of the people. For a time he is a monarch but a mon
arch of the people s choice.
