THE SAME OLD STORY
The wrec< of ?he Seattle-Port Blake
ley ferry boat Dix, and consequent loss
of a half-hundred lives, is the result of
incompetency and willful disregard of
lawful regulations on the craft, which
It is agreed was faultily constructed
and inadequately equipped in life-sav-j
ing apparatus.
And there you hare It.' It is the
same old story! Vessel after vessel i?
sunk by incompetent seamanship and
criminally careful carelessness and
human souls are sent into eternity by
the scores. The loss of lives is mulU-j
plied because thare is no means pro
vided for saving them.
But the accident, its causes, etc., are
being investigated? Oh, yea, of course.'
They all are investigated, but what
comes of the investigations? Nothing!
absolutely nothing This cruel, cold
blooded and terribly murderous sacri
fice of human life makes the people
mid, and investigators will rave in tune
with their fury, and boast and brag and
threaten until their sheet iron thunder
makes a greater noise than does the
real anger of indignant men and women,
and then?then everybody will forget
about it until the next accident.
It has been said this criminal disre
gard of life is characteristic of
the Americans. Rather is it character
istic of this age which puts the dollar
above the man. It is the same on the
Canadian side of the border as on our
own side. In fact fatal marine acci
dents of the last decade in northwest*
ern waters have been very evenly di
vided between Americans and Canadi
ans, and neither country has brought t
single company or a single individual
to an accounting, nor have they, so far
as discernable, provided a single
additional safe-guard.^ Both countries,
after each disaster, have bragged of
what they have done or will do to
prevent a repitltlon, but their boasts do
not stand the test of time.
After all the fault is the people's.
They do not stay mad long enough to
inaure on a square deal. They permit
to remain in office inspectors who owe
their appointment to companies whijh
seek and obtain through them oppor
tunity to increase dividends by violat
ing the law and jeopardizing human
lives. They easily fall into the way of
those who think more of money mak
ing and dollars than of the comfort and
safety ol living people.
The people of the more populous
divisions of Alsska must not Uke too
seriously the unwarranted attacks of
the tory press of Southeastern Alaska
upon Alaska's representatives in con
gress. The tory press does not repre
sent Southeastern Alaska. This divis
ion gave its votes to Mr. Cal* just as
the second and third divisions save
theiis. There is no division of senti
ment anion? the people when it comes
to the question of self-government. The
Southeast stands shoulder 10 shoulder
with the Y ukon and Seward peninsula
for American principles.
It would be a manly thing for those
negroes who took part in the murderous
raid at Brownsville, Texas, to give
themselves up and confess their crime.
By that means they would lift a good
deal of obloquy from the heads of some
of their fellows who are pro bably inno
cent.
Secretary Taft is said to be regarde
by the administration republicans as
the only logical successor of President
Roosevelt. Correspondents at Wash
ington and New York sny the adminis
trationists refuse to admit that Gov.
Hughes is a factor.
Representative Lacer, of Iowa, was
defeated by the trail! question. He was

"SWASTIKA"
A Good Luck Charm For
Skagway Lidies
The Swastika is the oldest cross, and
the oldest symbol in the world.
Of unknown origin, in frequent use
in prehistoric times, it historically first
appeared on coins, as early as the year
315 B. C.
The ancients were great astronomers
and it doubtless served as a calender to
them. It has been found in our Indian
Rugs and in the baskets of the Alaaica
Indians. It makes a very pretty orna
ment and one beaten out of silver coin
by a native silversmith will doubtless
coma as near bringing good luck to the
wearer.
The Swastika has been discovered on
this continent among the ruins ot Mex
ico and central America, and is at the
present time, frequently used by the
Indians of Alaska as an ornament and
amulet.
Found among the relics of all ages
and peoples, from time immemorial the
Swastika has been cocsidered as a talis
man; a charm, to drive away evil, and
bring good luck, long life and prosperity
to the wearer.
Every lady calling at our
STORE WILL GET ONE OF THESE GOOD
LUCK CHARMS AS A SOUVENIR.
We will give with each $1 purchase
between now and Christmas a ticket
for a beautiful Diamond King valued at
8150 for tirst prize. The second prize
we will give a lady's or men's ljk Gold
Boss, 25 year watch, I5 jeweled Elgin
