EDITORIAL PAGE
HOME PATRONAGE
For years the local merchants iu
the smaller towns aud cities of the
United States and Canada have been
protesting vigorously against the
constantly increasing practice of
people of the communities iu which
they do business of sending out
money, which should be spent at
home to the big mail order houses
to purchase goods which could have
beeu supplied by themselves.
They argue, with truth, that
the maill order houses do nothing
for the community in return for the
moneys which they receive from it,
while they, on the other hand pay
taxes, contribute to the institutions
of civilization, the charities and oth
er things that go to make life in
"heir communities better and fuller;
are at the forefront in community
life, and help to make up the back
bone of the country. Further, they
devote their capital, time and ener
gies to catering to local people.
When trade is plentiful, they add
to their stocks and employ more pea
pile, and keep in their stores goods
that are available when needed, and
are always open to inspection.
While the Daily Alaskan is will
ing to admit that the merchants
have just causo for complaint, we d
sire to call the attention of a few
of them to he fact that he evil
which they so much deplore in oth
ers is being put in daily practice by
themselves. If a job of commer
cial printing is to be done the or
der for it is sent elsewhere, regard
ie^a of the fact that there is a
local institution well equipped to
supply every need.
In this connection we desire to
call attention to but one instance
of the many which have come under
our observation while in business
i in Skagway: A bill was presented
•'or payment <.0 a member of the
Daily Alaskan force for goods which
had be n purchased at a local mer
chandising establishment. The bill
head and the printed matter there
on had not been supplied by the
Daily Alaskan and as this is tha
only printing house in town it was
evident that they had been procur
ed elsewhere.
Now this merchant probably (lid
not stop to think when he sent
the order for bill heads away to be
printed that he was just as repre
hensible for so doing a3 are the
people of the community in sending
out mail orders.
It is not in the "rintlng business a
lone that this transgression of the
principles which stand for the prog
ress and prosperity of the home town
obtain; it affects every branch of
business. A merchant may smoke
a certain brand of cigar, or have
use for any one of a number of
things but instead of patronizing th®
tocal dealer he will send outside for
it and put out of circulation in his
own community the money necessar
for its purchase, not stopping to
consider that if he had bought what
he wanted from his neighbor the
: neighbor would, when he needed anj}
'thing in his line, return the com
pliment and get it from him.
It is only by mutual help and
concerted action that the evils of
the mall order business can be ov
ercome and not until the reform is
started at home, and its pernicious
influences combatted by those most
vitally interested, will there be any
hope of a better business condition
than now exists.
The Daily Alaskan acknowledges
the generous support that has al
ways been accorded it by the bus
iness people of Skagway, but be
lieves that It is a support that It
has been fully entitled to for its un
swerving loyalty to, and promotion
of, the best interests of the town.
NEW ALASKAN PERIODICAL.
The Daily Alaskan acknowledges
receipt of the firs: number of the
Alaska Yukon Pacific Review, pub
lished at Seattle, Wash., and edited
b- J. J. McGrath, a sourdough Al
aska newspaper man, who, during
his long residence in the north was
prominently identified with the
news gathering departments of var
ious newsptiper publications through
out the territory.
The" Alaska Yukon Pacific Re
view will be issued on the 1st and
15th of each month, and its mis
sion as set forth iu the introductory
article in the initial number is "to
chrouicle the news of Alaska and
the British Yukon for the people
who live In those territories, or
for those who have lived there but
who are now visiting or settled on
the Outside."
The publication is non-partisan
in politics, and is expected to suc
ceed on its merits alone. It is the
ambition of Mr. McGrath to make
the Review the great orpan of the |
great north and to uphold througn
its columns the principle expressed
by the phrase "Alaska for Alas
kans."
The first number consists of IS
pages, iu addition to the cover,
filled with interesting news of the
uorthland, besides being handsome
ly illustrated with appropriate Alas
kan views and cuts of men prom
inent in the history of the territory.
The greater part fo the front pag
of hte cover is devoted to a cut of
Hon. J;is. Wlckersham, delegate to
Congress from Al:iska and the in
side one has two Alaskan views:
"Juneau, capital of Alaska" and
"Valdez in Holiday Attire" On pag
4, view of "Nome Dock, That was
Completely Destroyed by Flood";
Page 5, view of "Mail Sleds Bring
ing six tons of Reading Matter to
Fairbanks", page 7, "View of Seward
Alaska"; page 12, cut of R. \V. Jen
nings, Judge of the district court
for the first district of Alaska;
page 13, cut of R. F. Nixon, manag
