THE TURN OF THE TIDE.
In the firs; real test of popular
?emtiment, unhampered bv local
part jsan quarrels and unhindered by
the grip of the feu oral machine, Thee,
dore Roosevelt yesterday scored a
stunnins \ictorj in the wA'st with
President Tafs. The state of Illinois,
with its \a.-t farming; interests and
its second larjrrt-t city in America
was swept l> the Roosevelt delegav
ticket from the lake to the river.
Arrayed against the former Presi
dent was cry mitred of power that
the federal organization with its
brazenly us<\l patronage ar.d the un
speakable L i:ucr v th his shamt

tariff BOARD A\0 TARIFF TINK
ERING.
rvmocra'-.c newspapers and lvmo
c ratio speakers are pointing to the
report of th ?? tariff commission upon
the cotton schedule as evidenc, that
"he Pemocrr. ? ic party ha? 'been right
ir. its contention for lower duties. So
far they are on solid ground, hut
what becomes of their notorious dis
position. to ignore the tariff com
mission ar.d starve that body out of
existence if ihey 'cannot get rid of
it in any other way? And how shall
they justify their attempts to push
forward arbitrary and cjmpa"a lively
ignorant r< \ l.-ion- of other schedules
upon which tariff commission
has throwr. no iiuht, while th,.y hoi 1
back considera'icn of t e wool s hed
ule and the cot tor. conc erning which
:t has furni- ed a great nia^ of im
portant informatio: ?
Every word printer! or spoken by
Democrats which b.-ars witness to
the ability. . ,! ar.d valuable
work of the tariff commission is an
Indictment ct the Democratic lead
ers who refuse to follow its a ,1 vice
or mak- use of the great mass of
facts which i" ha - collected and pub
lished. Ever?' time a Democrat cites
the tariff commi-^on a* authority
for saying that the duties on certain
staples ought to be reduced he proves
that the leaders and representatives
of iis party are altogether wrong in
their art a... nisrn and hostility to
the commission.
The truth is that the tariff com
mission is justifying the hopes and
predictions its best friands. It is
showing the value of thorough and
scientific investigation, of tariff facts
before attempting to act upon groat
tariff problems. That is the busi
nt?s-like, sound and reasonable way
to deal wi'li the entire tariff ques
tion. ? Ks.
A COMMUNICATION.
Or. L. S. Keller,
Publisher L>aiiy Alaskan,
Friend Doctor: ? It was with a
iivat deal of interest that 1 read
your article In last night's paper]
aixnit "Early imblkatioais" as 1
was at the oedside at tho birth of
i>cth the Skagway papers, 1 cannot
retrain from calling your attention, to
a mistake you.- reporter made ia
regard to the first issue of said
papers. Vol. 1. No. 1, of the Skag
way Xews was issued on, Oct. 15,
IV'7, and was tho first newspaper]
published ia Skagway. The Alaskan
?as published later, I think in De- j
cember of the same year. It be-raJi
as a weekly and was shortly chang
ed to a daily ? being the first dally
pap?r published here, but not 'he
first paper.
Believing you will make this cor
rection in justice to tho "IVar De
parted" and tho facts, 1 remain.
Yours truly.
E. \V. Achison.

WAY THEY SHUFFLE OR LIMP
CLEVELAND, April 7 ? A now s^ep
been. diseo\ered. Those who
nave seen it say it has the step of
-he liuony Hug. tho Turkey Tro:.
the Grizzly Bear, the Cubanola Glide,
Uie Jelly Wabble and the Society
rwo-step crowded right. back in'o
he orchestra.
The new step has been given ?
name, it's the "Court House Drag."
Ura^s-bi:t:one?l, blue-coated guards
and all the county officials and em
ployees at the court house are get
ung onto i". fast.
Garble floors of the new $5,000,000
l-al.ue of justice are blamed for the
step, it has to be acquired. It can't
be taught like the Grizzly Hear and
yie others, but onc? acquired, it's
hard to forget.
Guards shrugged their shoulders
and poohpoohed when it was suc
pest.d that the "Court House Drag"
might eventually be taught in the
dancing academies.
It's just a case of sore feet." said
Chief Watchman O'Connor. "There
ain't no dance about it. Yes, it's
true everybody is doing it. but it
ain't the Grizzly Rear.
"You can call it a drag all right,
for that's what it is. These marble
floors knock your feet out complete
ly. Tramping through this building
eight hours a day has nearly made
nie forcet how to walk like other
people."
