EDITORIAL PAGE
A few days ago a ship arrived
at Skagway with 1,200 tons of coal
for the White Pass railway. That
coal will be burned along the rallwa
to within tt>5 miles of Dawson says
the News, and to within 130 miles
ot the Taatalus coal mines in this
territory. Forty miles north of
Dawson are other eoal mines, known
:?s the Sourdough.
With such large coal deposits and
such fine grade of coal so near
Whitehorse, it seems like carrying
coals to Newcastle to ship coal into
this territory for consumption. The
Tacoma coal comes from Carbonado
and South Prairie, and Is a very
ordinary grade.
This matter of coal being ship
ped 1,000 miles northward for use
in Alaska and Yukon affords such
4 striking anomaly that the case
saould be investigated by someone
conversant with the coal deposits of
this region and those outside with
a view of seeing if there is not some
way to have the Yukon coal market
ed at Whitehorse.
Steamers plying between Daw
son and Whltehorse invariably go
up stream in summer empty. This
summer the White Pass will have
steamers passing Coal creek, us
well as Tantalus. If the boats car
ried but a tew tons up stream each
trip, they go so frequenaly, they
should be able to supply White
horse and Skagway and scarcely feel
the burden of the slightly increas
ed weight.
Ouly 250 miles westward from
Dawson is the Copper River rail
way, where coal from the States
also is burned. Alaska has large
<-oal deposits, but Uncle Sam has re
served much of it. Yukon reserves
none of her coal. If the projected
new railways will open a market
for the coal of this territory, Alas- J
ka will find a supply right at haud. j
Tariffs may, on investigation, prove !
handicaps in marketing the Yukon
coal, but there is nothing like bring
ing the Yukon resources to the at
tention of Alaska and other regions,
and letting the world know that Yu
kon has the product. No telling
when It may be wanted afar, and
prove a rich source of revenue to
Yukon.
Under the headlug "Opposes La
bor Laws" the Juneau Dispatch
says this:
While Governor Clark starts off
in the paragraph referring to a
legislative amendment devoted to
the eight hour law with the announ
cement that lie la a "warm sup
porter" of those who would "ulti
irately have eight hours of daily
labor recogulxed as standard," what
ever he may mean by that, he winds
up with very definite and certain op
position to any eight-hour legisla
t on which It is possible to avoid.
Just what Governor Clark means
by that first sentence in the para
graph, It is not easy to say. Far
be it from us to convey the idea
that it was his purpose to produce
Ine impression that he favored leg
islation from the first legislature
ot Alaska to reduce th.s hours of
labor in Ibis territory, while at the
s&me time urging actually and in
such unmistakable terms, opposition
to it with all the influence at his
command.
What is meant by "special condi
tions ? ? ? rendering imperative a
shorter period of daily labor than
which, in excess of eight hours, pre
vails," in which, only, he would
consent to eight-hour legislation,
unless he meant that there was some
legislation along that line which
some of the legislators could refuse
to support and yet return to their
homes. It is also not difficult to say.
The writer of these editorials is
Informed, and believes, that there
has never been ?i platform on which
a delegate has been elected to con
gress, which has not contained a
pledge for an eight-hour law. That
1* is the demand of the people can-,
not be questoned.
What is very certain. It would
seem, in the governor's message Is
that he is very likely to veto any
measure establishing an eight
hour day, if there Is hope that
the measure is likely to produce the
result which its title will Indicate
is the purpose of the measure, un
less it is shown that the measure Is
"rendered imperative." This is no
reason, of course, why the legisla
ture should not pass a bill which
! will keep faith with the people, and
| place the responsibility where It be
longs. it is no reason, either, why
i tnose who believe in a government
"of the people, by the people, and
for the people," should not vote for
tne measure over the governor's
I veto.
CHE AMERICAN MAN TRIES TO REACH TOO HIGH A GOAL.
HE IS INCLINED TO LIVE BEYOND HIS MEANS. THIS
MEANS DELAY IN MARRIAGE AND DECREASE IN FAMILIES.
I think we should live the slower life of the English
man. We should LEARN TO SAVE OUK ENERGIES AND
OUR MONKEY. Then we will become healthier and happier.
H 9 ?
I think it is true that the working classes ultimately will benefit
themselves by spending their money for as large a share as possible
of the products of our present civilization and that by establishing a
HIGHER STANDARD OF LIVING they will obtain better
wages. At no time, however, should the working man or woman be
come EXTRAVAGANT. Every one should save something.
There never was a time in our history when it was more impor
tant for us to realize the IMPERATIVE NEED OF ECONOMY.
A young n in should learn to save the very first day he ?tarts out
in life. He should LAY ASIDE A PART OF EVERY WEEE?S
EARNINGS. If he is a clerk on a small salary he can still put away
a few cents daiy. His economy, however, should be guided by his
common sense For example, he should not save so much that he
looks dowdy, because, after all, appearances count.

The average working girl NEED NOT SPEND ALL HER
EARNINGS UPON HERSELF in order to look neat and attrac
tive. Oftentimes it is the simplicity of a girl's dress which most be
oomes her.
