One plank should be added to the
democratic platform at its conven
tion -u Juneau. The fact that two
women will be delegates to that
convention should be the signal for
womankind to bring pressure to
bear upon those representatives
that one great right has been over
looked by our law making bodies
1'ha' oi womons rights. The laws
of and pertaining to real and per
s->u tl property need an iafectlom of
tiu modern viewpoint of humanity.
Kstates by the dower and curtesy
art reins of the old common law
and belong to the must£ old boftks
«'.io^ describe the rnoates and pal
aos oi King John instead of la the
sMtuos books of 1916, which re
il* cis t:.e social ideas of people of
'his iteration. Nothing short
of full and complete community pro
l»i .;>• rights for both sexes should
be ndcrsed by this party. The
publican party has taken the
1. d u:;,: added it to their platform
and i should be made a partof the
democratic pledges.
It has been a long time since the
t'ily if Skagway has had the op
portunity or welcoming such a notej
p.!s>'";age ai George Hibbard. This
petr of railroad men, hag made a
tour of Alaska, investigating all
t « conditions aud possibilities for
iui„re development, keeping in
mittd all of the time the possibili
ties, no doubt, for the expansion
o* his lines into this wonderful
country.
Here will be a chance for citizens
11 prove to him that we have faith
in our scetion of the couutry, by be
ii , ardeut boosters, iu speech and
conversation to him. Mr. Stevensoc
b doing a good piece of work by
a; r.>ugiug ior his entertainment and
*tay in this city. Big men of
inlaws is what Skagway needs. Many
are the industries which will be
ctarUd in this locality provided we
i.:>i educate capital to the possi
bilities which lurk in the by-ways
oi this scenic wonderland. <
Wiut the outcome of the rapid
iucr. ase in j/rices of all commodi1
ties wiii amount to time only can
tell. .Merchants on every hand
are i at; daily recipients of letters
fivoi their jobbers and wholesale
housc3 informing them of the raise
in prices. Large manufacturing
ccncc-rng lay it to the ever increas
ing demand from the continent for
article* which heretofore they have
uianufactuiei in their own midst
To the average consumer th^
1 ■ rives are far out of proportion to
the wage earned. Large concerns
>u regulating their wage scale
boos» tl'e highest men uj> a peg or
two, but some. how or other., it
seems that they fall to provide for
the workmen. The receut strikes
which are breaking out all over
the country Is proof that something
is amiss somewhere.
Developments in. Skagway and
near hy vicinity again evidouco the
reign of prosperity which is just
beginning. The erection of a new
hc»e! in Atlin ior the express pur
pose of providing proper, facilities
for tourists this summer, by a cor-'
por.i'ion which hai studied the
Situation very thoroughly and
knows the eaact situation, is con
clusive proof that it is apt only
joining but is a reality.
The action, of this corporation in
erttt;ug this beautiful structure in
the interitfr deserves special com
maut. It shows that the interior
is aUve and right; abreast with the
progression of moving modernism.
It will help Skagway, AtlilTand the
nearby vicinity. .Our only wish
ii that other planned industries
and establishments will commence
this year their improvements and
forge ahead with this tide which ic
swjepinj: through our . erritory.
The expansion of the Alas
ka Steamship Company and the in
creasing .of. the fleet which brings
tidings of cheer and outside news
to this port j»ill certainly be wel
comfd *»" the people of Skagway.
Never before in all of their
histfry have steamship, companies
, real *ed the valuable asset that
I tnoy have noted in their profit
| bcok by catering to the Alaska
: trade. It is a paying business—
[ the fact that this particular coin
j pauy, which is true of all otherj
I operating an this coast has been
| aMe to double their net earning
i in this last, year is conclusive proof
j of the valuablenesa of this semi
I mouopoly.
1 '.Veil any way—Vil'la has kicked
up again ami will keep the United
' States troops busy for a "while. We
will now be Hooded with news
about how run dowoi the United
States army is and, some fellow who
jc-uidu't tell a battlecihip from a
dory will ba telling lis how to do
the trick.
A m-iCa standard can not be
judged by his stgae in life, but by
the oort he plays on that stage. The
mystery of mankind must remain bi
hind the scenes, as the stage; is too
.small hold them.
Hope creates expectations, but
never guarantee, "their fulfilment.

Luxury In Puritan [)ay9.
At no tlnw. of course, was luxury
completely absent from America. Men
spend when the purse Is full, even
though the purse be small. Not all the
sumptuary laws of seventeenth ecu
tury Massachusetts could prevent so
ber Puritans from launching Into ex
travagauce. from purchasing apparel
swollen. silke or lyuueu with lace on
it. silver, golde. silke or t breed." Even
the pious slid back Into embroidered
doublets with slashed sleeves into
■'gold or silver girdles, hatt bands,
belts, ruffs, beaver baits," while wom
en of no particular rack appeared In
forbidden silk and tlflfany hoods. A
century later we encumtcr disapproval
of John nancocb's "show of extrava
gance in living." of his French and
English furniture, his dances, dinners,
carriages, wine cellars and fine clothcs.
Washington starved with his soldiers
at Valley Forge, but lived like an Eng
lish gentleman In his home at Mount
Vernon. Luxury, pomp, ceremonial.
were not absent in the eighteenth cen
tury.—Walter E. Weyl iu Harper's
Magazine.
Initiative and Resolution.
Every young: uian should adopt the
I. and It. in his life. That means Ini
tiative and resolution. That is. orig
inate something: think up somethh p
to do In the world. Don't depend.upc!!
others to initiate for you. The wor d
owes no man a living. Every one owes
the world a life.
Then there is resolution. That's a
man's virtue. It Is a man's soul put
bi action. This sounds like sentiment,
but it is solid fact. ■ Half of the soci U
and Industrial disasters we experience
today Iu politics, education, commerce
and industry is because we practice ir
resolution and dependence. We will
never settle our social and Industrial
troubles that way. We must think of j
something else to do. something we
can resort to In case of misfortune and
disaster. A man should gave his ear:i
ings and iuvest-them in land. In muu.
in shop, in store—something on the out
side to take up in times of emergency j
