MOVE THE ROW FROM SEVENTH
AVENUE
Most of the decent element of Skag
way are agreed that the houses of ill
fume on Seventh avenue are so sit
uated as to be offensive to the resi
dents of the north end and a reproac
to the town in general. Visitors in
Skag way are often heard to express
womler that any town would permit
such a flagrant flaunting of vice. It
is a poor advertisement of Skagway
as a decent community.
Still more material is the fact that
school children, little girls and boys
must daily jkiss the houses of ill
fame and young sirls ,\tul women
from the north end are compelled to
pass in close proximity to the houses.
The Episcopal church is located
near the row and on Sunday evenings
church goers frequently hear bursts
rf dance and song or are jostled by
lustful eyed men. who often heavy
vith drink, are seeking the women
cf the "Row"
Seventh avenue should be in the
heart of Skagway's residence district,
but it has been usurped by the j
houses of ill fame and decent people
are barred from the neighborhood.
The women on Seventh avenue are!
conducting an unlawful business and
'hey have no moral or legal rights to
monopolize a street in the center of
town. Their removal should be Insist |
u' upon by every right thinking
person and it is only fair to say that
a majority of the members of the;
town council realize that the "Row"
should be moved and will vote for
moving it into a less conspicuous pos
ition. Such a location will soon be
decided upon.
CREOSUS
Ho has a most unseemly pile; thel
land is his for mile on mile; he has J
a mansion on he h'"\ and at his I
hot he has a mill: and miners tunnel
underground. to swell his fortune
found by pound. You'd think his life
uauld bt? a joy. a dreaiu of bliss with
out alloy. You'd think he ought to
canto and yell from happiness, but
truth to tell, in spite of all that he
is worth, he is the saddes* man on
? ::rth. His wealth will buy him farms
and lots, and private cars and private j
yachts, and it will bring from far and !
near, the homage of the insincere: I
ii will control the hands and brains
of legions toiling for his gains, but |
in the whole world's busy mart, it will
ior buy a loving heart; it will not
buv until the end, what most he
r.eeds on earth ? a friend. ? Walt

ACTION.
The only way to do a thing
Is to arise nmt do tt.
To try your best to beat yourself
By half a minute to It.
Some folks may know another way.
A short out. old and hoary.
But when It comes to show results
Well. that's u different story.
By sitting In your easy chair,
Vour feet upon the table.
And reading In a fairy book
some sweet and thrilling fable
You'll never get within a mile.
In happy dreamland dwelling.
Of anything that spells results
In true and lifelike spelling.
Get up and get. Don't sit around.
Your feet cocked at an angle.
Kor that will never In the world
Unravel any tangle.
Be Johnny on the through express.
Down grade, with sIktiuIs Hying.
The throttle open and the world
Of ease and sloth defying.
Donl put It oft a day or two
Or even till tomorrow.
That Is the way to pile up work
Anil future trouble borrow.
Say to you i easy chair "Uoodby!"
Shake some enticing rover.
Get busy, and you'll be surprised
How soon It will be over.
