AS TO THK CANDIDATES
Tlia Taxpayers nominating con
vention met last night as per an
nouncement at the town hall anil
placed on its ticket the names of
seven business me*i for council
men and one for school clerk.
AVhile the Daily Alaskan is strict
ly neutral in its policy on the mu
nicipal and school elections, and
intends to remain so, we deem
it our privilege as a purveyor of
news, to express our sentiments as
to the qualifications of the nomin
ees of tf e taxpayers convention last
night wthout prejudice either to
ourselves or to any candidates who
may subsequently be placed in nom
ination by any other convention.
The men placed on the Taxpay
ers ticket last night are all well
known, well qualified to adminis
ter the affairs of the town in a
business ltk© manner and we be
lieve that tlie voters cannot go far
amiss if they see fit to support
uny one, or all of them.
We reserve the right, however, to
express the same opinion of any one
or all of the candidates placed in
nomination by tonight's convention
of the Non Partisan Union ticket,
cur sole desire being to see men
elected who will honestly and effi
ciently look after the interests oC
the town, and from the high char
acter of the men placed 011 the
Taxpayer's ticket, and of those
whom we believe will be selected
tonight, we have 110 fear but what
the town of Skagway for the coin
ing year will be well and faithful
ly served. |

Capital Gradual!!] Curing Its
Mistakes and Recognizing
That Honesty Is the
Best Policu
By HOWARD ELLIOTT. Chairman N. Y.. N. H.
and H. R. H.
ITH GREAT INCREASE IN WEALTH HAVE COME GREATER LUX
URY FOR THE WELL TO DO, GREATER COMPORT FOR THE
WORKER AND, EXCEPT PERHAPS IN SOME OF THE VERY
CROWDED CITIES, MUCH LESS REAL POVERTY AND SUFFERING
But there have also come perplexing problems about the relations of
capital and labor, the rich and the poor, the government and the in
dividual. They all need the careful thought aud work of the ediu-aleii
mail if they are to be solved rigiit in the minimum amount of time.
Capital has made some mistakes, but it is (iRADl'ALLY ClUflXO
THOSE MISTAKES and recognizing that "honest;, is the best policy."
It is just as essential that LABOR BE FAIR T;> SOCIETY as that
CAPITAL SHALL BE FAIR TO SOCIETY
ONE OF THE GREAT PROBLEMS OF OUR DAY IS TO TREAT CAPI
TAL IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WILL BE THE SERVANT OF AJ.L OF
THE PEOPLE, BUT OBTAIN A JUST AND ATTRACTIVE REWARD FOR
THE WORK IT DOES, AND ALSO TO TREAT LABOR IN SUCH A WAY
THAT IT WILL BE THE SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE. OBTAINING AS lTS
REWARD GOOD WAGES AND IMPROVED LIVING CONDITION5, BUT
ALSO TO MAKE BOTH CAPITAL AND LABOR REALIZE 'HEY CANNOT
OBTAIN FROM SOCIETY MOSE THAN SOCIETY IS ABLE TO PAY.
Peril In Judicial Oligarchy: Cont nted People
Either Ignorant or Hopeless
By Chief Justice WALTER CLARK of North Carolina Supreme Court
IT has been said that a contented people have no annals. Til K PRES
ENT UNREST AMONG THE PEOPLE. ST5JA.YGE AS IT
MAY SEEM, IS- ONE OF THE BEST SIGNS 01' THE
TDIES. When people are content they either are ignorant of better
conditions or hopeless of attaining them.
\ In this country, as in all countries, the coutrol of the government
is in the hands of the few. We have learned that the form of govern
ment amounts to little. The real question is, "Where does the control
of government reside?"
IN 1776 WE ISSUED A DECLARATION PROCLAIMING THE RIGHTS
OF MANKIND AND THEIR EQUALITY AND FREEDOM. AND THEN
THE CHAMPIONS OF GOVERNMENT BY THE FEW QUIETLY BUT
EFFECTIVELY TOOK CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT.
The overwhelming preponderance of the judiciary has been unex
pectedly created by decisions of the supreme court of the United State
without a line in the constitution to authorize it #when that body as
sumed the right to veto any act of congress it ehose to hold uncondi
tional.
THIS DOCTRINE HAS BEEN SEIZED UPON AS A e00N BY THE
SPECIAL INTERESTS AND BY ALL WHO BELIEVED AT HEART IN
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE MANY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THF.
FEW. IT HAS PRACTICALLY MADE THE COURTS THE DOMINANT
POWEIJ IN EVERY STATE IN THE UNION. WHENEVER ANY
PROGRESSIVE STATUTE HAS NOT BEEN IN ACCORD WITH TH£
ECONOMIC VIEWS ENTERTAINED BY THE COURTS THEY HAVE
GENERALLY EXERCISED THEIR POWER TO DECLARE SUCH STAT
UTE UNCONSTITUTIONAL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT "DUE PROCESS
OF LAW."
BEINQ AWAKE!
Moral reform mul improve
ment lire tin; effort to throw olT
sleep Why Is It that lueu give,
so poor :tu account of their day
if the.v have not oeeii slumber
ing? If they had not been over
come with drowsiness they
would have performed some
thing. The millions are awake
enough for physical labor, but
'ftily one lu a million is awake
enough for effective intellectual
exertlou. only one in a hundred
million to a poetic or divine life.
To be awake la to be nllve. I
have never yet met a man who
was Quite awake. How could 1
have looked him in the face?—
