EDITORIAL PAGE
difference of opinion
In a recent issue of the Daily Al
nakan, thin paper took the position
that it is far bettor to reward a
tried and true friend of the peo
ple, who by his work has proven
himself £uctx and is again asking
for their suffrage at the polls,
than it would be to choose one
whose only known, recommendation
In his devotion to M3 political party
and who in consequence you Id be
supposed to advocate and advance
any measure that might be put for
.ward by the party leaders, regard
less as to whether it would be to
the best interests of the people as
a whold or not.
But tills line of reasoning does
not apparently appeal favorably to
the Juneau Daily Empire for In
commenting on the article in ques
tion that paper In its issue of Aug.
22nd, says: "la this not another ef
fort to overplay the credulity of the
public?"
We fail to see how it is a mark o
credulity for any one to be able to
comprehend and accept as
a fact the indisputable evi
dence -spread out on every
hand of the inspiration of the train
ed and logical mind that realized
the needs and recognized the possi
bilities of the territory of Alaska,
and which, In conjunction with the
master hand of a born leader, has
finally succeeded in extricating i(
from its obscurity and starting it ou
the road to the ultimate fulfill
ment oif Its destiny as one of that
glorious coetellatlon which so
proudly floats over "the land of the
free and the home of the brave."
The Empire further says: "The
question before the people of Al
aska now is cot one of rewarding
someone for public services per
formed sometime in the past."
if the above is true politically
It also true in every day commer
cial life, and the man who has put
forth every effort and succeeded
in advancing his employer's inter
ests and In a measure has become
indispensable to a further enlarge
ment and -enhancement of the busi
ness, should be ruthlessly cast
aside for one whose competency
has been untried, and is therefore
an unknown quantity, but whost'
political affiliations are in harmony
with the powers that be.
In the first epistle of Paul, the
apostle, to the Thessalonians, 5th
chapter, 21st verse, he says:
"Prove all things, and hold fast
that which is good," and this ad
vice is as applicable today us it was
then. •• « $
Air. >MCK«rsnaui [uruugn jeuiit vi
trials and disappointments has prov
en his ability and his devotion to
the interests aod advancement of the
territory, while Mr. Bunnell, who
has only been In the democratic
fold for the past two years, having
before that time been a staunch re
publican, has never had an oppor
tunity to show either his ability or
his fitness for the position and we
believe his aspirations, notwithstand
ing the assurances that we are told
have been given the territorial
democratic committee by the chair
man of \the local organization, that
he would deliver 90 per cent, of the
democratic votes of Skagway to the
latter at the coming election, are
doomed to go unfulfilled for at
least another two years.
[ CONTROL OF POOD PRICES
No high prices In food stuffs can
long prevail without the co-operatiou
either, consciously or unconsciously,
of the consuming public, and the
recent fear of a sugar famine and
the wild buying In one hundred
pound lots is proof of the fact.
Little sugar, comparatively, is
manufactured in Europe, and little
would go into the domestic economy
of the European troops. It was just
a faint rumor, recognized and ac
celerated )>£ the public prints, that
started tho sugar prices soaring.
No sooner was the report that the
sugar crop would be short well di
gested by tho public than household
ers, who had never before bought
more than a dollar's worth at a time,
began ordering 100-pound sacks,
and retail grocers whose supply
would usually reach over a spell of
ninety days, found themselves with
out tho commodity in the course of
tfiree or four days. The public was
obsessed with the idea that from
somewhere and somehow the Eu
ropean armies were suddenly to
be steeped in sweetness and that the
packsack of the soldier marching
along the dusty roads was to be
stuffed with, sugar.
One is reminded here of the lines
in the melo-drama, wherein ship
wrecked sailors afloat on a raft,
perishing of thirst, bemoan their
fate in "Water, water all around,
and not a drop to drink."
Should every householder con
stitute himself a relief committee of
one, and refuse for thirty days to
buy sugar in lots of more than oue
dollar, sugar prices would drop so
quickly that speculators would un
load and rush out of the -game.
By the same method flour, which ou
the Pacific coast has advanced over
20 cents per barrel in thirty days,
would resume its normal functions
of selling witiin the reach *f all.
The public, and not the war lords
or speculators, can easily control
the food stuffs situation.—Seattle
