TOO MUCH MACHIXK
lu striking contrast with
the attitude or the Alas
ka Citizen I?) of a few weeks
ago is tlio attempt which is
now being made by. the Garden is
land. publication to put Marshal Er
win right with the voters of Tauaiui
W© refer particularly to an editor
ial which appeared in the last issue
of the Citizen .(?), 1a support 01
the marshal's attempt to force hi:
obnoxious primary pledge down the
throats of self-respecting democrats
The argument presented by the
Citizen (?) Is stupid; it is illogical
and it is not based ou facts. It is
a weak defense of au unpopular
.move on the part of the local demo
cratic machine.
For instance, the Citizen (?) says
that "in the States, where the dir
ect primary system has been adopt
ed, there is a similar precaution
taken by law to prevent any but
members from voting a party ticket
As a matter of fact, there is nc
similarity between the primary laws
referred to and the Erwin primary
pledge, which is objected to by the
Times. J a those states where ma
chine politics have been partially •'£
not entirely eliminated by progres
sive legislation, a voter, in order la
participate in a primary election, is
required simply to name the party
with which he is affiliated. If he
says he is a democrat, he is siveii
a democratic ballot, and so on down
the list. There is no pledye, foi
that sort of thing was done away
with together with the machines in
those states where the voters ha\t
asserted their rights.
'Hie pUxige which Tanaua demo
crats will be required to sign be
fore eListing their ballots at the
forthcoming primary election did 110
originate with tho democratic cen
tral committee, as v e Citizen i ? >
would have its readers believe. It
originated in the office of the 1'li
lted Statf marshal in Fairbanks,
and insofar as the Times has been
able to ascertain, will be used ex
clusively on the democratic voters of
the Fourth division. This is the
only division, apparently, with a
machine strong enough to enforce
such a requirement.
We suggest that Marshal Krwia
give greater consideration to the
rights of voters; they are entitled
to a square (leal, anu as for ob
je> ting to the pledge requirement,
th?y probably have a good re;ison
to suspect the motives of the mar
shal as he has to question thoir
loyalty to the party.—Fairbanks
Times.
While it lasted, the baseball
strike contributed materially to
the entire success of the silly
season.
Maybe the $1,000,000 appro
priated for that Texas River of
Doubt that "neither runs, creeps
ui)r crawls" is to cover explora
tion expanses.
In declining to take the baseball
strike seriously, the Naps showed
a laudable willingness to do unto
others as others do unto them.

TIRED
Alas, I am weary of swatting, th«
effor's seems useless and stale;
for weeks I've been painfully trot
ting around after fl:es, on thoir
trail; I've doped thetn with carbolic,
I've slugged them and caught them
with iraps, and still on mv forehead
they frolic, when I lay me down for
a nap. I hate the pestiferous frisk
ers, which tickle my scalp with thoii
toes- they're building their nests in
my whiskers, thye'rc picnicking now
on my nose. They give nte all kini!»
or ill-eases, by carrying germs to
and fro; I pause here for sev
enteen sneezes—I've got the pneu
monia, I know. I'm strong for
those able physicians who tell us,
"Ketp swatting, you guys, if you
would improve the conditions, and
drive from our country the flies!"
And yet I am weary of swatting,
I've thrown all my weapons away;
I'm weary of tirelessly potting the
-reI'm bearers, day after day. i:»
i cause, in the mids: of niy labors,
I glanced from my ancestral hall
-tnil saw that my indolent neigh
, bora were doing no swatting at all.
