KKPUBLlCAN victory !
A scan of the Republican, Press
reveals the fact that there is more
or less disclosed at the Republican
conviction over the choosing of a
m miuee for the preaJdeatiaJ cbair.
Thero sedans to ha three contestants
tjT the important berth. Justice
Hughes, at the present time is
conceded the lead, next follows
Theodoie Roosevelt and a strong
delegation is backing Root.
More or less criticism haa been
waged iigaliLSt Roosevelt for his racl
caj tendencies and soma fear to
place the confidence of the nation
iu h s bands at this precarious time
iu our history, fearing that we
would be plunged into a war.
The 'ovS of Hughas regard that
he is t.~t> silent and does not have
• he ini'lative to keep the American
nation in the lead. It is also
thought that he would be too re
troactive and not follow out the
modern political and sociological
doctrines which have met with fa
vct in the eyes of practically all
of the leading ecououiicsts in this
d-.cade.
Mr Root comes more in the cate
gory of a dark hors*». He is backed
by his home delegation and It ifi
generally thought tlKt he will be
fcrced »o drop out. Some of his
support will go to Hughes and
some to Roosevelt. The conven
tion at present stands about even
for il'ighes and Roosevelt. From
th° knowledge which we possess on
'he candidate® bcti se»m to possess
those .;rcvng sterling qualitite which
would speak for success in leadre
ship of the nation.
A geueral republican victory has
bten conceded the country over by
all who are in cloe© touch with the
political conditions. Unlets some
split iu the party occurs which
will throw the support of the par
ty to o'her channels, their victory
will be a certainty.
(JOOD NEWS
The flash over the wire to the
effect that the Longshcrtinien's Un
ion has dacidtd to relieve the con
gestion of shipping ic received with
opeui urms iu this comnnuaity. Al
ready there was a m^ticeatbla short
age of the necessaries 011 the mar
ket—showing how dependent Ala^k
Is on the States for i. living.
The question as to whether or
not the Union was -right in their de
mands for increased wages does not
concern us so much, as the fact that
shipping will continue and that the
busings season will progress an
wag formerly scheduled.
With freight rates boosted sky
ward and wages tc© notch in trip
ping circles we are not blind to
the fact that the consumer is pay
ing me majority of the increase. It
is our hope that rates will net be
txosttd by the companies to meet
the increased wage scale as the con
sumer is already paying what seems
to be an exorbitant price for his
necessaries. It is presumed that
the cas>t is voluminated by the
raise In freight rates. At any rate
the price is as high as can be met
by the average wage earner in this
part of the territory.
.NEW SPIH1T
Ge' -be habit neightor; that new
Skagwav spirit is now unloosening
itself and ervery business man is
on record for a permanent be;th iu
tht> Commercial Club, which has im
bibed a little of tha "Doing, mot
wishing" atmosphere.
The lime la at bead when we
muj* co-operate and take our hands
ouf of« our pockets and wondering
wfty we can't solve the doings of
our business rival. The thing to
do is to have a little talk with that
rival, come to aa agreement tha*
y->u will bothi stop uetty jabs at
one another and boost for* Skagway.
Skagway needs all the surplus
pep atd enthusiasm th«t you can
ai'forJ to apare from your actual
business. If every one will get tthe
booste.' npirit. bury the IraHohet and
buck into work, soon things will
hum along the old track, the train
will b« able to jmll double the load
aud what's more a three fold cargo
will be waiting at evt^ry station lor
ahipnifiit.
