ABOUT ADVERTISING
(Fairbanks Citizen)
Space and copies ol his paper go
to make up the newspaper man's ei"
tire stock in trade. These two are
ail that he has to offer for sale to
the oublic, and no one has yet given
any sort of satisfactory reason why
ao snould ever be asked by anyone
to donate tfiem.
One thing newspaper people will
never be able to understand is why
any person will walk into a newspa
per ofifce and make himself or
herself an object of charity- and in
sist upon what tney would disdain
to ask for in any other shop or place
of business in the town. The prin
ciple is the same in the newspaper
office as >n the dry goods store,
and wnat a great many people need
is to recognize it as the same and
get off the newspaper list.
Advertising space in the newspa
per- *s for sale, not to give awav.
it has a certaiu value in itself that
makes it worth money. Copies of
the newspaper are worth the ex
ceeding small price asked for them.
The public, or at least a large
portion of it, has some very errone
ous ideas about these matters, and
it is but just to the newspaper folk
that their ideas be corrected in ac
cordance with the same business
princiepls that pervail in all oth" j
er business establishments.
In a vast majority of cases this
generous charity on the part of the
newspapers is blissfully taken for
granted, and the paper's liberality
Is abused. That which is purely a
favor s accepted as a matter of
course, and what should be requests
are couched as demands.
Whea. the courtesy has been per
formed there is rarely appreciation,
and more often dissatisfaction —
generally silence.
The result in many towns and
cities is that a ba^ has been put
upon all free publicity, no mat
ter what 'ts object—even upon
church notices. In these cities such
favors as the press bestows are pro
perly appreciated and valued.
WHY WAIT UNTIL SUNRISE?
Former President Taft says that
t;ie spies, incendiaries, bomb-throw
ers and munition tamperers in this
country should he backed up against
blanfc wall and shot at sunrise.
"But why wait until sunrise?" asks
a writer in the Norfolk Virginian
Pilot.
The coinage of two-cent pieces is
to be resumed if the bill introduced
by Senator William Alden Smith of
Michigan becomes a law. No limit
is put in the bill on the number of
such coins to be minted. It is
specifically provided that all laws
relating to the minor coins of the
United States shall apply to the
two-cAt pieces. The desgins are
are to be furnished by the Director
of the Mint, subject to the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury.
Senator Smith believes that the
new currency will prove a great
convenience under the present
conditions, when unusual price fig
ures, admission fees, etc., call for
such a coia. '

GKT HIGH PRAISE
Reporting to Dawson concerning
"the bawling tournament held early
this spring, X. E. Black said:'
"That Juneau team was a 'whale,'
and' old man Barrager is going
some, 18S.6.
"Outside of Juneau, it was a
close race, out 160 average is rot
ten bowling, and we are pretty
much ashamed of our part of it
here, at Skagway, but two of our
best bowledrs were out of it. W. C.
Blanchard had a touch of lumbago,
and another man was out of town
during the tournament. With those
two men in place of myself and Kara*
man the Skagway team would have
been up alonside of ; Dawson, with
out a doubt. Better luck next time.
'The tournament was won by the
Juneau B. P. O. EEkg' team, com
posed of Messrs. Bsrrager, Frei
man, Zeigler, Laveniik and Museth.
A suitably engraved cup was order
ed bv the undersigned through one
of our local jewelers,, bill for which
has just reached us, and we pre
sume the cup, which we are ad
vised was sent direct to the Elks'
club at Juneau insur«d parcel post,
now reposes in their club room."
