BOOTLEGGING, UNFORTUNATES
AND HIGHKIM'1*S
Falling into step with, action
that it being taken, or has been
done, is Seattle, Tacoma, Juneau,
Douglas and Haines, Skagway yes
terdiy through its marshal began
*a official sweeping of bootleg
xiug la th« city.
About a year ago, shortly af
ter the prohibition laws came into
effect, a government agent, acting
under the orders of Gov. Strong,
gathered evidence of bootlegging in
Skagwav which resulted in the
touvlction of three men. This had
a quieting effect on Skagway for a
time, and if booze pas sold, it
vu done guardedly. However,
quietness makes for boldness, and
during the more recent months
large Quantities of booze arriving
la dkagway made it quite plain
'here must be boot-leggiug joints
acmewhere. In fact it is common
knowledge on the streets that cer
t»la ropes would lead to the deni
*en of the "wets."
Tbo rope has become too long
and too loose, and through a com
plaint of larceny to the U. S. mar
shal events bo shaped, themselves
that five women of the restricted
dlatrlct have been arrested for
selling liquor. Further develop
ment are expected. The women are
the tools used by "higher-ups."
The real offenders are the Per
sons who bring the '•stuff into
Skagway »nd sell it through, the
women of the district. It is a
jtrauge fact in human nature that
the unfortunates are usually the
ones made to suffer; they must do
the dirty work for the "higher-ups"
aud they are the first to be ar
rested for crimes that make the
■•higher-ups" wealthy.
Why stop >here matters now
standT Would it not be better
for the women themselves for Skag
way to abolish the whole district
and do away with it entirely? This
has been done in other places and
h** been found successful. Ta
coma, for example, is probably the
cleanest city on the coast. While
th"* sweeping h^s been started why
wot make it a complete sweeping
aud clear the city of all vioe?
Skagway la a tourist spot, visited
by thousands of tourists yearly
who judge all Alaska by ^vhat they
^e« here. Let's show them that
we can av# a city than which there
ia uo cleaner on earth.
FAME
It it an indiscreet and trouble
some ambition that oaree to
m.weh about fame, about what
th* world eays of us; to be al
ways looking in tho faces of oth
ers for approval; to be alwaya
anxious about the effect of what
wo do or say; to be alwaya
shouting to hear the echoes of
•ur own voices.— Longfellow.

Tiie Juneau Liquor Company, for
manj, years Juneau's leading -whole
sale and family liquor store, which
also ha« operated a retail liquor
house in connection, will retire
from business Saturday, November
17th, and shortly thereafter it
will be succeeded by the Juneau
Billard Company.
The Juneau Liquor Company's
house bas» been Southeastern Alas
ka's most famous wholesale and
fnmlly liquor store since its estab
lishment here in 1904. It has made
• specialty of its wines, distilled
liquors, cordials, and malt goods,
and the fact that it was gTowlng in
size and popular favor, after thir
teen years of activities, when the
vote of the people of Alaska made
it certain that the liquor business
will cease in this Territory with
the coming of 1918, is the evidence
that its service and treatment of
its patrons have been fair and
courteous.
"We shall not wait for the
incoming of the prohibition law,"
said Mr. Hirsch today, "because,
antiepaiting our ability to Bell all
of the stock we have on hand, we
have agreed to turn the building
over to the Juneau Billiard Com
pany Monday morning, November
19th. Therefore, we shall positive
ly clwe at midnight, Saturday, No
vember 17 th."
The Juneau Liquor Company is a
corporation and has three active
stockholders, Simon Hirsch, the
President and General Manager,
George Welsh and William W. Gars
ter. All of them are well known
rt-aidents o! this city.
The Juneau Billiard Company,
which will take over the business of
tiie Juneau Liquor Company, also
is a corporation. Its principal
Ehatnoldeis are Simon Hirsch,
William \v. Garster and H. E. Biggs
The latter will not be actively iden
tilled with the place. The place
[will be thoroughly renovated, ajid
expcrse will not be spared in mak
ing it attractive to those seeking
recreation and amusement .
ADVERTISING A NECESSITY;
INVESTMENT, NOT EXPENSE
Advertising is a necessity, not
an expense. Some people get
along without it, just as some peo
ple get along wihtout many things
tbit others must have. The day was
when advertising was considered
extravagance. A number ere still
of the opinion that other firms
could save a. great deal of money
by dropping the publicity expense,
says the Publishers' Guide.
We know of a dry goods man wh
built up an enormous business in a
email town through advertising. He
reached the top, established a repu
tation, then proceedd to get rich
by 6aving his advertising cost. He
cut out his newspaper displays,
and ran on momentum. How long
did he last? Within a year his
store was eclipsed by another, which
was quick to take advantage of
the situation by increasing its ad
vertising space. Within two years
the former leader was out of busi
ness and looking for a position.
Advertising is a necessity—a fact
which he understood and appreciat
ed through the long years he was
engaged in climbing from the bot
tom to the top oX thg ladder, but,
once on top, he became dizzy. In
other words his head swelled. Look
ing around, he saw no one else on
his level, and he came to the con
clusion that because ha y&s up it
would be impossible to fall down.
He forgot that he had passed oth
ers who fell in the rut. He con
ceived an idea that he could save
his advertising expense and cash
in on the amount of money he
haH paid in the past. He over
looked the fact that be obtained
his returns on his advertising from
day to day, in increased sales in
bis very complete dry goods store.
H», imagined that the money he had
expended was all in the nature of
future Investment. He did not un
derstand that the money he ex
pended today was for tomorrow's
trade—tomorrow's increased trade,
if you please. When it *as too
late, the full force of the truth
dawned on him.
That's the reason he is now en
gaged in selling real estate—on a
commission basis.
