OUR NEXT PRESIDENT
The heat of battle has subsided. The cudgels of polit
ical strife have been laid aside. The country will now set
tle down once more to the more sober pursuits of parti
san peace. Alaskans look forward with much anticipa
tion to the inauguration of President Elect Herbert
Hoover.
What democracy takes away from a President in
the way of autocratic power it compensates in esteem'
and respect. The instincts of civilization demand leader
ship, and this is because of the cooperative and discipli
nary instincts of the race for what might be correspond
ingly termed fellow-ship.
The people of the United States might take away j
practically all power and authority in governmental mat
ters from the President and there would still be the
necessity for the office. Not from the need of a spokes
man, not alone out of necessity that profound addresses
be delivered, but that there may be at the head of the Na
tion in name at least a presence and a personality from
whom the people may rightly expect an embodiment of
the ideal that orderly and efficient government shall con
tinue to exist.
Tho all are equal in legal status and political oppor
tunity, one may well offer a toast of honor and good wish
es to President Elect Herbert Hoover. He represents that j
opportunity which by our form of government is made
common to all Americans.
. H was a neat gesture of confidence the Seward Rep
ublican Club paid to President Elect Hoover and Vice
President Elect Curtis. It is in such small matters of es
teem which bear the mark of sincerity.
The rise to fame of Vice President Elect Charley;
Curtis proves that the country will do something for an
Indian when an Indian does something for the country.
. Insignificant mining prospects, surrounded by an
optimistic community, can bring them up to- the highest
rank in the world’s mining field.
We wonder if the pictures on the calendars will be
piettier next year / (One of the country’s big questions.)
In all ages ignorance has condemned that which it
(ud not understand. When you hear a person knocking
you will know he is ignorant.
. .The one and only basic industry of the country is
mining. All else follows.
