EDITORIAL PAGE
With the approach of the holi
day* many Skagwans will send
photograpnic views of Alaska scenes
to their friends In the states. l-et
us advise all who Intend doing so,
to taboo the glaciers and Ksqul
rnaux and totem poles, and instead
send pictures of the mountains cov
ered with "lowers or the waters
sparkling :n the green foliage. A
glacier Is not representative of Al
aska For every snow drop that
falls In thi?l northland there are a
million blossoms One of the pret
tiest presents that could be sent as
a remembrance to a friend la a
view of the display at the Skagway
Horticultural exhibit.
It is with something of regret
that we read of the political animos
ities which are des;roylng the hap
piness of ihe people and injuring
the progress of Whitehorse. A
few days ago, one of Cauada's most
distinguished men visited the city
and was tendered a banquet. Half
the people of the city wouldn't at
tend It, but ribbed up one of their
own which was given the next
uight The distinguished visitor, in
all probability, left each banquet
with a feeling of utter contempt for
the actions of both parties.
While comparison* are some
time* odious, we believe thai it is
not indelicate to call attention to
the results of the recent election
in Skagway. It was a hot contest
in which one aide had to win. And
when one side did win. the losers
showed themselves the finest speci
mens of what is known as "true
American sports," that has ever
come under our political observation
When one can lose like a prince it
? well, such a one can't lose, his
success is only deferred.
The W&itehorse Star in calling
attention to the ridiculous jealousies
in that city says.
The social conditions of White
horse, owing to the breach in the
ranks of the Conservative party,
are growing more deplorable with
tach succeeding day. Recent events
have ser\ed to widen rather than
heal the breach and the spirit of
venom and hatred is now more ap
parent than at any time during the
past several weeks One faction
claims the other is not composed of
true and loyal Conservatives, but
of an element that is with the Gov
ernment no matter which party is
in power Then the latter come
back with the charge that the for
mer are a bunch of affidavit-makers
with no thought beyond loaves and
t'ishes Not content with being at
sword's points themselves, efforts
are being made to draw outsiders
into the misup and many of the lat
ter appear to be pleased to be rec
nfnised by one faction or another.
On the whole, things are in a rot
ten state and the visit of Or.
Thompson, did not better them. He
was as powerless to ctem the tide
of bickering*, malice, venom and
neighborly hatred as he was to
stem the rushing rapids above
town In the meantime the weigh
ty load is gradually weakening the
l<arty involved, the welfare of the
party having seemingly been lost
siKbt of entirely. Just now in
Whitehorse It is the wise tnan who
smokes his own pipe or carries his
own mak ui's
WATER WILL BEAR YOU UP.
A'w ay* Rirntmbtr This and Learning
to S?v>m Will 8* Easy.
Ton can teach yourself to swim, and
you can do It in an hoar or loss. I
know plenty of people who have dona
It by following carefully these diree
tiona:
First and foremost, fix this thought
clearer In your mind? the water will
bear you up. It is fear and straggle
that Invariably send a person to the
bottom. The best way to acquire confi
dence that makes for courage and fun
Is. go squarely and reasonably at It
Begin In still water; the (rid swim
ming pool on the farm is just the place
Wade out until your shoulder* are cov
ered. squat a Uttle and get yourself
wet all over.
Don't be the least atom afraM. eren
If a little water does get Into your nose
and ears; wade out a little farther un
til you are up to your chin, and now
your toes will Mn to leave the bot
tom of the pool. Do not be alarmed.
This shows you that you are a little
lighter than the water. Now lift your
cbeet and with the muscles of your
stomach breathe deep, atretch your
arms out to form the letter T of your
?elf. stiffen your backbone and hollow
your hack as though suddenly you were
a very Important and dignified person.
| Tour toes hare come up to the anrface
now. l.?an your head hack freely as
far aa you can, keeping your mouth
shut
l.le back with absolute confidence,
and there you are floating. Keep your
i backbone stiff, gently paddle with your
hands, and you are rvtmmlng. Make
toward the shore, of course. Then try
It all over again. This time kick with
your feet gently; strong strokes might
turn you over and frighten you. Keep
your balance and practice two or three
times In straight succession.
The next thing that you will be learn
ing Is the "V stroke. Kick out until
both legs are like the letter V, shut
them together Ilka the blade* of a pair
of scissors (which give a atrong drive
ahead*, then draw them up sldewtse
tike a frog and kick persistently out
again. Then try making your legs go
as If yoa were climbing up stairs. Al
ways remember the water will bear
you up. and the great and only dlfll
culty about swimming will be out of
your way.? Christian Herald
BOTH WELL INFORMED.
An Interchange of Compliments Be
tween Grant and Lee
Toward the end of the war between
the Mates the value of a well organized
scoot service cime to be fully appre
dated by the leaden of both armies
Perhaps no commanders of modem
times were better served In this re
?pect than General Grant and Genaral
Lee. Both were kept Informed dally as
to nearly everything that went on with
In the enemy's line*.
General Gordon related that one
morning toward the end of the long
conflict, when the Confederate*, officer*
and men allk* wet* reduced to on
pleasant (traits for food, a captain from
the Union headquarters went, nnder a
flag of truce, with a communication tr
General Lee concerning the exchange
of prisoners.
"General Lee." said the captain, with
a smile, after delivering his message.
"General Grant sends yon his personal
compliments and bids me assure you
that he know* exactly what you had
for breakfast this morning."
"General C>rant must be misinformed
as to this." replied General I^c. sur
veying the message bearer with a sad
?mile. "General Grant la a generous
man. and tf he had known with what
a breakfast I had to content myself
he would certainly have sent me half
of his But give him my compliments,"
be continued, with a sodden twinkle,
"and say that although I do not know
?s to his breakfast 1 have full partic
ulars concerning his dinner last night" j
