public: officials as a humorous c lass.
(Reprinted from .Juneau Sunday Capital.)
THERE ARE CERTAINLY a lot of luricrons angle* to partisan
politics as it is played in this part of Alaska. No longer is it taken
seriously, for bipartisanship has become the ruling passion. • It is looked
upon as a joke by both parties. When an appointment is made by a
Republican official or patronage of any kind dispensed, the wonderment
is as to how close the recipient ever came, to even flirting with Republiean
The old Democratic Organization handled the political situation
with a master hand, and went to the greatest possible extremes in holding
sway. But their daring attitude seems to have caused the new Republi
can officials to go to the other ext rente. In order to avoid any suggestion
of partisanship they seem. ia. most instances, to hunt out negative char
acters or a type that can easily class themselves with any party.
And of course this somewhat riles the consistent and working
Republican, but it is early strawberries for the average Democrat, who
laughs in his sleeve and soliloquizes on “what fool? some ciortals be."
As time goes on and Republicans become accustomed to the situation even
they are inclined to look upon existing conditions with some humor, and
wonder how long it will be before the days of darkness break before the
dawn of sensible normalcy.
But, however, serious the situation may be to many, some of us
are able to extract a little amusement from the various episodes as they
materialize. The Empire publishes the following quotation from the pen
of a Ketchikan writer: “A movement appears to be directed toward an
alliaiice of the newly appointed Republican officials, with the old reliable
Democratic ring, and the Juneau Empire as publicity organ.”
And the Empire humorously declares this to be “silly chatter.”
possibly having had a hunch that the Ketchikan Chronicle was to be
soon recognized as the “official organ.” One of the high ogcials is au
thority for the statement that it was good politics to give a Democratic
editor a good federal appointment, for that was the way to make Republi
cans and get Republican newspapers. And of course there was humor
in that suggestion.
The Empire humorously defends the actions of Republican officials
who so closely embrace their political enemies and feed them pap, so that
they may grow strong and arrogant when an opportune moment arrives.
Referring to this situation the Empire says: "If it is true that they.
(Republican officials), refuse to regard Democrats as alien enemies but
treat them as American citizens it but shows that they are performing
their duties in accordance with the intent of the Constitution and the
laws of the country.”
Thus it is made clear as mud that the attitude of the officials and
their consequent actions in turning the other cheek is but following the
biblical injunction, and is really not unlawful. We are sincerely glad
that this particular point was brought out so uniquely. Now we know
that none of the befuddled officials may be thrown into limbo, where some
victims would summarily consign them. Personally some of them are
pretty good fellows, even tho they be nil as regards appreciation of the
favors that have been bestowed upon them by a Republican administra
But when they let down the bars of gravity and realize the hufnor
in the whole proceedings, then will there he hope for a changed attitude.
President Harding believes in a party responsibility. He realizes, as we
all do. that a Democrat may be a pretty good sort and even better than
many Republicans, but he is not expected to help carry out the policies of
the Republican party or to work overtime in contributing to the success
of an administration that he would like to see supplanted by his own fol
lowing. Such an expectation would be truly humorous.

times of high and low water will not j
always exactly correspond with the
actual occurence of the tides, as tin
water levels are sometimes more de i
pendent on wind than on tide. For j
this reason no accurate prediction
of the height of water at high or!
low tide can he given. The average
