( LASH OF PRINCIPLES
i
i
Just about so often the lines of the two major politi
cal parties become so clearly drawn that the man in the j
street is permitted to glance beyond the reticulated fabric
of political bunkum and gain a comprehensive close-up
of what is meant by the term “party principles.”
The present national elections are expressive of this
marked cleavage and divergence. Coming into clash are
the questions of whether the principle of business advan
tage should be continued as exemplified in the subordina
tion of all thought, or the principle of government for
the whole, which, takes into its scope the moral equation.
There is no denying that during the past three nat
ional administrations pragmatism, or “get the money, hon
est if possible, but get it,” has been the motivating spirit
of all political action.
It seems that a chosen few have succeeded while the
multitude has paid tribute.
While the Republican party was born of a purely!
democratic spirit, and the Democratic party’s genesis was j
centered in privilege it so happens that there appears to j
have been a swap gf these principles and today we see the ;
Democrats picking up the sabre cast aside by Lincoln and
sallying forth to reenthrone principles of government
over government for “Business.”
In the light of the aftermath of the era of pragma
tism the Democrats appear to have the edge and a good
argument to back it. Among the things the people have
learned, even the at tragic cost, is that they cannot hurl
blame at the beneficiaries of the departure from ethicali
government, while they themselves, expressing scorn for j
the assertion that they would barter their votes, have sold j
their franchise under mercenary impulsion.
There is no denying that out of the new philosophies
and ballyhoo of selfishly inspired economists, coupled!
with a general gravitation away from the primary thot!
of democratic government, has "come a veritable Pando-j
ra’s box. Linked within it is practically all of the iniquities '
from moral breakdown of youth to racketeering.
Progress presupposes experimentation with new
ideas, yet summing up what has beset the United States
within the past three years, not one new idea has been ad-1
vanced. Rather, ideas and ethics tried and tested five!
thousand years ago, have simply been resurrected and
paraded as something new, both in financial and social
conduct. Since the people are entitled to the kind of gov
ernment they create they cannot escape a fair share off
the blame for what has come upon the nation.
ho knows but out of the clash of principles now so
clearly defined that anyone may understand, will cornel
not only a business rejuvenation but a moral awakening
to the fact that the farther away from the fundamentals
of the great primary idea we stray the more difficult the
trail for a return.
J. S. HOFMAN
for 28 years a resident of Seward solicits your vote as a
candidate for the Territorial Legislature.
I believe in and support the principles and policies
set forth in the Democratic National platform as wel1 as
the prnciples, policies and recommendations of the Ter-j
ritorial Democratic Convention held in Fairbanks last!
January. I
If elected, I shall make every effort to secure a better i
business administration in the handling of Territorial af
fairs by cutting down and out, wherever possible, non
productive expenditures and make that much more money
available for what I call productive expenditures; expen
ditures which are of value to the development of Alaska,
such as road and trail building, landing fields and the like. I
I am opposed to the appropriation of Territorial I
funds to be expended at the pleasure and whim of Federal j
officials and employes. I think we ought to be and are j
able to spend our own money and spend it as we see fit
and as, we Alaskans, think our money would do us the
most good.
If elected, I would appreciate very much to receive
suggestions as to all your local needs and assure you that
the same wall receive my careful and prompt attention.
Yours respectfully,
i1

The mining industry in the Nome
area is at least normal and in oth
er sections of Alaska, and is one
of the most encouraging signs that
there is an increase in prospecting.
Many men are prospecting for
quartz in the vicinity of Nome and
eslewhere in the Second Division.
Hamman Consolidated Goldfields
is operating its fleet of dredges. In
addition there are a goodly number
of individual owners operating on
their ground. An abundance of
water has made possible an expan
sion of hydraulicking in the district
that ought to step up the gold pro
duction for the season.
