.NOT BIASEJJ
Now thai we have published for
yo i • consideration two leading ar
'ic!a« written by well known uews
paper men, who have the interests
Oi this great northland a.t heart,
we lV-:l that the expression of
our opiuicn in re the Junoau-Skag
way nail service will not be based
011 1 biased point of view.
i. *j fully realize that the govern
ment through its officials is really
moro capable of knowing the na
ture of tit* service to tha points be
tween Juneau and Skagway than
any other unit. Knowing that
then. is a need in tbg winter for
> uch a service as has been, maintain
ed up to the time, the order was
issued cutting the service, we can
not but feel that the; officials will
ia.it? stiue kind of arrangement for
mail service during the winter when
th*» regular passenger boats do not
run regularly.
However if they should happen
to not provide for a conveyance of
mail the situation would indeed be
cut of harmony with the geneiral
spirit which is displayed' by the
present administration. Money is
being spent fcrr railroads and the
general development of the country
—but cverlooking the mail service
by the depautneut would be work
ing a h-irdshiij on the people of
this district which rightfully is not
theirs. Tbe null service is poor
at th« very bjsf—from necessity of
the situation, taking into con
sideration transportation me.hods
aud the various other elements
which pres«.i t themselves in such
a scattered cotuitry as this — it
could be u'V.hiug else but loose and
irreguiir. But why the gaverume (
should take a move to make it
wor«? is beyond the comprehension
of citiz-ns of this community.
Skagwav will uot suffer during
the summer months, as we will
l>o visitt d by a boat a day. But
when 1. at schedule is dropped—let
us hep© that the mail d*V«tmeibt
v. ill :av arranged some method of
service for bringing mail from the
capital . ;ty aud way points to our
local posttfiice. No doubt the
pcvernmetit is taking advantage of
the heavy tratfic and will make ar
rangement to re-establish the regu
lar service for the winter months
—anything short of the old ser
vice wuulu be inharmonious and
meet with the disapproval of the
citizens o* Skagway.
ll.KW'LINESS THE BACKBONE
OP THRIFT
In my work I have found that
povtrty and want go hand in hand
with dirt and squalor. Seldom have
1 found upon investigating a case
o' need, that conditions of cleanli
ness were what they should be.
Not only does such effoit as
''Clean Up and Paint Up" activity
oa the part of every citizen tend to
1 .creat e civic pride and awaken the
interest of the tax-payer in city
affairs but it will also do much to
relieve this department. Cleanli
ness is the backbone of thrift and
industry. Men once awakened to
»'ieir duty to keep their share of
the city clean will also feel their
rcsooni'ibility toward their family
There is no movement at this sea
son ot the year which would have
greater influence for good than
'Clean Up and Paint Up."
Tomorrow Live democratic party
will moot iu a primary; election. The
affiliation with, some potty is the
dutv which every law-abiding citi
zen owes to this commonwealth. It
is only through the polls that citi
zens tail i tally make their wants
known. Eight men have been
nominated oy that party, five Of
whom will be sent as delegates to
the Territorial Convention iu Ju
n-oau of .his mouth. .CeUainly the
voter* of this district will respond
to tho party call aud elect repre
sentative mec to represent their
ahoice.
These ill n have the framing of
the party platform in hand. it Is
they who are supposed to place! be
fore the voters the meu who have
Intelligence and forethought
coupled with the ability to be po
ll'. ical leaders, never faltering
iu tluir trust or usurping the| pow
t.ra granted by the populace at largq
It is true that only those who
claim allegiance to the ideals of
thin party should vote at the prim
aries The Judges would do well
to iusisi that only those having the
qualifications should be allowed to
express their choice. Voting by
non-rosidents or men not having the
qualifications should not be al
lowed.
Ls» a man have a purpose. Let
him resolve and laibor to make of
himself a rood mechanic, or mer
chant. or farmer, or lawyer, or
doctor, te-cner or priest; but first
of all let him have the will and
courage to make of himself a true
man, fir else there sihall be no
worth in him.
Talent is no match for Uw't; we
see its failure every jvhere. In the
race of life, common sease hasthe
right of way.
Tc travel hopefully is a better
thing than to arrive, and the true
success is labor.
Tee differnece between theory
and j'ractice has kept many a man
from succeeding in life.
A man who lives only with him
self and for himself is apt to be
corrupted by the company he keeps.
Succses is readiness for the oc
casion.
A man is dead, while yet alive,
I' there be no peace at home.
Let men render unto women,the
things that are women's.
A store-house full of small re
grets is of no profit.
Beware of Ointments for
Catarrh that Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering It through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten Told to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co.. Toledo, O.. contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. In buying Hall's
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genu
ine. It is taken Internally and made in
Toledo, Ohio, by P. J. Cheney & Co. Tes

Fairly Stumped.
Ninny Instances hove been quoted 01'
the Ingenuity of the schoolboy and th<i
college man In answering examination
questions in foreign languages, but sel
dom has a hard pressed undergraduate
displayed the Inventive genius shown
ly Henry W. Savage when his knowl
edge of French was put to the test in a
Parisian cafe some yea.s ago. Accord
ing to George Ade. who was with him
at the time. Savage pridys himself on
his French, rie had Just succeeded by
dint of the most Intense sort of concen
tration In ordering those copper colored
oysters known to the habitues of Paris
as being among the oldest inhabitants.
Then, flushed wilh victory, he rashly
decided to follow up his success by or
dering some horseradish. The French
word for "horseradish" had completely
escaped his memory. Nothing daunted,
he became at once logical and Ingeni
ous. "Horse Is chevnl," said he to Ade.
•'and red is rouge all right, but I'm
hanged if I can remember the French
word for 'ish.' " -Argonaut
Forecasts In the Almanac.
While In modern times almanacs
commonly eoncern themselves only
with the known facts of the year wlt'i
which they deal, for many years after
they came Into general .use, about tha
middle of the sixteenth century, pre
dictions not ouly with regard to the
weather, but also concerning the sup
posed planetary Influences, were a vi
tal part of tfielr contents. The "prog
nostication" generally dealt with "tha
varieties of the a.vre and also of tha
wlndes throughout the wbcle yere,
with Infortunatc fines to ble and seP,
take medicine, sowe. plant rnd Jour
ney, etc." In France a decree of 1570
forbade all makers of almanacs to
prophesy concerning affairs either of
state or of individuals.-London Chron
