“LAW OF THE YUKON"
AT LIBERTY FOURTH
One of the well known poems ol
Robert W. Service is the theme ol
| “The Daw of the Yukon,” which
opens tonight at the Liberty foi
• the Fourth of July feature. The
i story ofx this feature is as follows:
Morgan Kleath comes to Gold
I Cite], a bustling mining c amp in the
Klitdike country. Kleath makes hifj
: way to the “San Domingo.” the prin
cipal gathering place and meets
| Tim Meadows, the proprietor, who
I has induced him to come to' Gold City
to establish and edit a daily paper.
Tim introduces Kleath to his daugh
ter Goldie, whom he worships and
guards with jealous care. Kleath
invites Goldie to dance. Joe Duke
who has been paying attention to
Goldie, conceives a violent dislike
for Kleath and with the aid of his
• friend Jake Nichols, is able to pick
! a quarrel with him.
i A fight follows, in which Duke
(receives a good thrashing.' 'Jake
| sees the turn of events and. strlv
i ing to aid his friend, stabs Morgan
| Kleath in the arm.
1 Then follows thrill after thrill
with an exciting ending.

INDEPENDENCE DAY
WARNING SOUNDED
BY BAR ASSOCIATION
_ I
(Continued prom rt>»« On*. >
lc agitation of public opinion tends
to undermine and overreach the
system of government which the
makers of the declaration of lnde
i pendence and the constitution so
| carefully devised. /
What Fourth Means
I “Independence Day, sanctioned by
j statute in every State in the Union
as the birthday of the nation, is an
expression of the solidity and unity
that this country has achieved. It
is a day for rejoicing and also for
sober thought. It is a day for re
viewing at public meetings the his-1
torical and contemporary signlfl- j
cance of the day, for re-establishing i
the ancient landmarks of American
j constitutional government which our |
i foregathers erected, and for repledg j
j iug our allegiance to the principles
jand aspirations of those courageous
! souls who dared to declare their
independence of the Mother Country
and to vow anew in the words of
him upon whom the mantle of our
revolutionary forefathers visibly des*
cended, that 'Government of the peo
ple, and by the people, shall not
j perish from the earth.'
Expression of Liberty
"Tho Declaration of Independence
Is the expression of that passion for
individual and political liberty which
is Implanted in the human breast,”
the message continued. Asserting it
first declared the doctrine of (equal
ity, the message set forth that equal
ityq of wealth or equality of inherent
ability." The declaration referred to
political equality, w’hich means equal
opportunity under the law, and equal
1 Ity in this sense is an essential of
American ideal of government.”
Next speaking of the “right of
life” the message said:
“If the greed of profiteers and the
ignorance of parents place undevel
oped children in factories and mines,
the American idea of the right of
all to (life is gone. Against this
greed tho public schools stand as
the best proponent of tho national
purpose to give to all the people a
chance to live a rounded intelligent,
complete, American life."
American Principle
''After discussing the meaning of
‘Liberty," bb used in the Declare
tlon of Independence, the message
said:
“The American principle Is that
all power rests in the people as a
whole. The government of the
United States is u Republic and not
a Democracy. A tendency to depart
from this system in various jaays
in recent years has been the cause
of much discussion. By many think
ing men it is strongly iITged that
only as we hold steadfastly to the
representative form of government
as established by our forefathers can
our Republic endure. This is a
question that demands serious
thought upon the part of each and
every citizen today.”
MAYOR ASHLEY LEAVES.
Mayor Howard Ashley, of Skag
way, left on the Admiral Rogers
fog his home. He spent several days
?n Juneau on business.

SULPHUR IS BEST
ITO CLEAR UP UGLY,
BROKEN OUT SKIN
Any breaking out or skin Irri
r tatlon on face, neck or body is over
come quickest by applying Mentho
Sulphur, says a noted skin special
ist. Because of its germ destroying
)
properties, nothin.? has ever been
found to take the place of this sul
phur preparation that Instantly
brines ease from the Itching, burn
ing and irritation.
Mentho - Sulphur heals ec/.ema
right up, leaving the skin clear and
smooth. It seldom fails to relieve
the torment or disfigurement. A
little jar' of ftowles Mentho-Sulphur
nay be obtained at any drug store.
It is used like cold cream.
