EDITORIAL PAGE
"OI'KN CONFESSION (iOOD,"
ETC.
A Juueau contemporary a short
lime ago, took to task various news
papers iu the territory for daring
to criticise the work done by the
members oi the first territorial leg
islature, and took occasion to say
that "in trying to ridicule the mem
bers of tue legislature they ithe
newspapers > were only placing thew
selves iu a more or less ridiculous
light."
It may be of interest to our read
ers to Know how some cf the mem
bers themselves regard their actions
at that session, and below we pub
lish a statement recently made by
Representative Charles E. Ingersoll,
of Ketchikan in reference thereto.
It" there is any truth in the old say
ing that "an open confession is good
for the soul", we can well imagine
the supreme content that must,
since his confession, have fallon
upon the spirit of Mr. Ingersoll:
"1 have studiously refrained from
explaining my attitude or vote on
any matter passed upon during the
last term of the legislature. I have
never laid claim to a monopoly on
wordlv wisdom, and, iu the light of
what I hoped to accomplish when
1 accepted the trust the voters in
Southe;islern Alaska plated upon me
I consider myself a dismal failure."
Mr. Ingersoll need not take his
actions so much to heart, however,
for there are doubtless many others
who were in attend.ince upon that
«essian v. ho 'eel exactlv as he does
but are too mo 'est to express their
feelings publicly.
Vs.VERS TO CORRESPONDENCE
Ed. Daily Alaskan,
Skyway,
I am a Skagway young girl, un
der 30 years of age, and have late
ly taken up the study of United
States K is lory. Last l.ight I was
reading about that grand and noble
redn.an of the forest Logan, and of
tho time he smote his breast and
cried "Who is there left to mourn
for Logan ?'\ As there was no an
swer lu the book it occurred to me
that probably you could solve this
weighty problem.
Yours anxiously,
TOOTS1E.
Ans.—Dear Little Tootsie, we
hate to destroy any of your youthful
illusions, but the answer to your
query is: "Xary a d—d one".—Ed.
Ed. Daily Alaskan,
Skagway.
I am a middle-aged business man
of White Pass City, 0"s the line of
the W. P. & Y. Route. When
trade ha3 been quiet, have spent a
portion of the past twenty years
of my life in trying to solvo the
problem of "How Old is Ann?"
but have not yet succeeded. Can
you help me?
Yours fraternally,
PROl'LX
Ans.—Proulx, old boy, there is
only one answer to your question.
Deputy Marshal Fred Fonzo is on
the way up to your place this morn
ing with a straight-jacket.—Ed.
Ed. Daiily Alaskan,
Skagway.
1 live in Haines, Al;;ska. Am a
young man and have an ambition
to take up politics as a means of
livelihood, as I understand that the
holding of public office is a private
sn.^p. Haven't decided yet to which j
paily I will offer my services, but |
of course should like to cast my lot j
with the one that would offer the
first chance to get to work, as my I
bank roll is light and I will scon
have to go back sawing wood unless ,
something else turns up. Can you
give me the approximate numb t of]
people in Haines who profess al
legiance to the two great political
parties, democratic ?nJ republican?
Yours in hope,
WILLIE.
Ans.—We can, Willie! We can.
Ilefore the last territorial election
there was only one democrat there, i
and he wasn't a voter; now there |

is only on* republican, J. W. Martin,
and he's going to leave as soon as
he can arrange to get away. Our
advice to you, Willie, is to go back
to sawing wood. There is no chance
for a young man with your high
aspirations in Haines, for the reason
that there are not enough offices to
go around.
