GET BUSY, GENTLEMEN.
Rumors aro constantly coming from
reliable sources to the effect that the
federal court will no longer hold a
term iti Skagway If Thomas Lyons
of Juneau is appointed Judge of the
First judicial division. That these ru
mors are true is more than probable.
Lyons is a Hoggatt satellite and it
is an open secret that Hoggatt desires
the Skagway term of court to be
held at Juneau. The court cannot be
removed from Skagway without the
consent of the congress of the United
States, but congress will undoubtedly
be largely guided by the recommend
ations of the acting judge.
The Chamber of Commerce made
absolutely no effort to retain the
htadquarters of the Alaskan Road
Commission in this city, although for
months it was rumored that the head
quarters would be transferred to Val
dez. Whether or not the Road Com
mission could have beeu kept here is
problematical; but at least it would
have looked well to see the Chamber
of Commerce take some action in the
matter.
Last December the Chamber of Coin
merce did wire a protest to Washing
ton. D. C.. agaiust the removal of the
federal court. But the matter is sure
to como up again and the Chamber
of Commerce should get busy. The
holding of the federal court in Skag
way is of vital interest to Skagway
and this town will be a heavy loser
if the court is removed.
The citizens of Skagway do not
want to see the federal court re
moved. It is up to the Chamber of
Commerce to do something. Drop
your internal squabbles, gentlemen,
and get together. It's too late to
watch the barn after the mare is
stolen.

HOW TO INCREASE BUSINESS.
You cannot look about you on th>
street without seeing people who have
money in their pockets which ought to I
be in your cash drawer, or to your
credit in bar.k. You cannot look about
vou in your store or shop without see
inn goods that these same people
should own ? should now be using.
These (acts hold good ? even if yoi:
have been doing a good business late
ly. They are the sort of facts which
make store-keeping the most interest
ing business in the world ? the most
tantalizing one. too.
You can't go out on the streets per
sonally and tak>- these people by th>
hands anil l?'ad them into your store
But you can go to them vicariously
You can make your newspaper adver
tising your proxy. You can make it
say to theai all that is in ycur mind
all that you could possibly say if yoi!
had their undivided attention for an
hour. And you can make what you
say to them interesting ? so fraught
with purs?-importance to them ? thn !
they will read eagerly.
Your advertising does this, to son;. ]
great or small extent, of course. It
falls short of its fullest appeal if it i .< j
not as full of enthusiasm as vqu ar \
It is only half good enough if it is only i
half big eaough.or if it appears only ;
half often enough. And. in advert!* I
ing, as in the matter of a coat or a
dinner ? if it is only half big enough . I
or lialf frequent enough, it leaves a ;
good deal to be desired.
This newspaper can co-operate wlt'i '
you to the fullest in realizing the tan
talizing possibilities of store-keeping J
only if you take the completest advan- j
tage of it as a means of influencing |
"its people" in your store.
The South Is progressing. Col.
Cooper and his son were actually con
vlcted of murder in the in the sec
ond degree for deliberately pistolling
a political eueray.
The meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce Friday night somewhat re
sembled a balky automobile. It had
to be "cranked" vigorously before it
would start.
Under the gentle admonishing of
Uncle Sam, the Central American
republics have agreed to kiss and
make up.

than the mighty; and he that ruletli
his spirit than he who taketh a city."

A MODERN SCHOOL
My little boy is S years old.
He roes to school each day;
He doesn't mind the tasks the} set.
They seem to him but play.
He heads his class at raffia work.
And also takes the lead
At making dinky paper boats
But I wish that he could read.
They teach him physiology.
And, oil. it chills our hearts
To hear our prattling innocent
.Mix up his inward parts.
He also learns astronomy.
And names the stars by night;
Of course he's very up to date ?
Hut I wish that he could write
They teach him thing: botanical.
They teach him how to draw;
He babbles of mythology.
And gravitation's law.
The discoveries of science
To him are quite a fad;
They tell me he's a clever l><>\
Hut I wish that he could add.
