4- QV AL1FI CATION S
There belli » a difference of
opinion in Skagway as to who
are to be enumerated as quali
fied voters at the election to
be held hen. on May 1ith to
decide as to whether or not
retail liquor licenses shall bo
granted for the ensuing year,
the Daily Alaskan representa
tive called on Commissioner
Martin Conway this morning
and asked for his Intrpreta
tion of the law in relation
thereto and of the instructions
sent to him by Judge R. AY.
Jennings at the district court,
published in the columns of
thin paper cm Monday, May 3d.
The Commissioner stated that
any CITIZEN* of the Vnited
States, whose intention it is
to become a resident of Skag
way, Is qualified to vote, re
gardless of the length of time
he has resided here prior to
the day of election, and that
aliens, who had only taken out
their first naturalization pa
pers, are disqualified for eith
er enumeration or voting. In
order to fortify himself thor
oughly Commissioner Conway
sent the following telegram to
Judge K. W. Jennings this
morning:
Skagway, May 3. 1913
To Judge R. W. Jennings,
Joaeau, Alaska,
Oui residents with only
first naturalization papers
vote at this election?
MARTIN' CONWAY
Karly this afternoon bo re
ceived a reply from Judge
Jennings, the answer being
"No."
"TO SEE THE SIGHTS"
From the first, the stoppage of
American travel in Europe as a
result of the war fr^s generally re
. arded as inevitable.
The nubile woulil be surprised if
•> knew the number of Americans,
women as well as men, who have
planned to go to Europe this spring,
rhey want to see the Bights of the
war—to view the ruins, to visit the
ireaches, f witness the sufferings of
the victims of the conflict, to be eye
vitnesses, if possible, of a bloody
struggle ou a battlefield. The war
appeals to them largely as a show—
ligger and better than a dog fight,
a street melee or a fire at home.
The number of requests for pass
torta for sight-seeing trips to
HJurope h-6 become so great that
secretary of State Bryan has been
compelled to issue public notice
that they will not be granted. And
the government is well within its
rights in refusing them.
N'O NEED TO DESPAIR
Several useful morals might
be argued from the experience
of John Bunny, popular comedian
of movln<* picture fame, who died
in New York last week. The fact
ihat the form of entertainment in
which he was eminent Is still very
young is emphasi7e«l by the cir
cumstance that hU was almost the
first death among players Indebted
to it for their principal prom
inence. One of the advantages of
the film drama is also conspicu
ously illustrated In the fact that
his work d'd not die with him, but
will doubtless have additional
popularity for a time.
For twenty-nine years, it Is said
Mr. Bunny had bee a an actor be
fore the Introduction of moving
pictures gave him his greatest op
portunity. Though always an ac
t©; table comedian, he gained
neither reputation nor wealth from
his labors on the stage. Through
the moving pictures he soon at
tained both, together with, a wide
| favor such as he nevei could hav<
sained unaided by the mobile film.
Considering the life of Johi
Bunny, no one need be deluded in
to the belief that ouccesB In th<
movies can be achieved wlthoul
preliminary training He liac
twenty-nine years cf it. No one
need despair, though the presenl
[seems barren and the future hope
less. He waited twenty^nlne year*
for his opportunity. No one should
allow himself to become so wedded
to the things that are that he can
not bring himself to try new things.
Mr. Bunny would have remained
an undistinguished road and stocl
actor to the end of his days if,
In addition to his thorough train
ing and his patient wailing, he had
not had the enterprise to grasp hU
chance when It came, however
dubious It may have seemed.
(Country's Best
Men Do Not Enter
Gove nment Service
j By Major HENRY L H1GCINSON, Bo*
too Banker
THE best men in the United
States do not go into the ierr
ice of the government, noi
will they so long as they are sub
ject to being thrown out et any
election. Any one who knows
about business
knows that men
work for them
selves or for a
company vastly
better than they
work for the
United States.
Whether or not
this fact is cred
itable to men is
! beside the ques
I tion. It is a fact
j and must be ac
: cepted as such.

tion, and we are grateful for it.
I The government hag not passed a
more important bill in many-years.
| IT IS A SOUND AND "HELP
FUL BILL BECAUSE IT CAME
: FROM THE STUDY OF THE
SUBJECT AND NOT FROM THE
HOSTILITY OF LEGISLATORS
TOWARD CERTAIN CLASSES
OF CITIZENS.
The weakest point of all in the
program of government we have
been having imposed upon us is
that if industries of all kinds are
neglected through discouragement
of the leaders in business the la
borers suffer and suffor very much,
as they are suffering today.

"So this Is the 050 touting model?
By George! What a crackerjack of a
car for tbat price!"
The salesman beamed with delight.
"Yes. it certainly Is," be replied.
"Last year we bad It priced at $4,200.
but we cut off $750 "
-Wh a t? Cut off $750 from $4,250.
VS'by. I thought the price of this was
$t>50? That's what you said."
And then came the disillusionment,
bringing the sad discovery that a 6-50
car Is not necessarily listed at $050.

A French Canadian guide came Into
camp one day greatly excited. He had
a handful of wild cranberries which he
exhibited with pride. "Yon know the
II'1 cranberrieV" he asked the assem
bled party. "Well, you take the UT
crnnbertle ~an', you put him on the fire
with plenty of de sug—oh, big lot of
de sug—an' you let him cook long time.
Then you take him off an' let him cool.
Au' voila! You have a more better
apple sauce than yon can make out ot
de prune!"—Collier's Weekly.
