WICKERSHAM'S SPEECH
There was much that rang true in
the address delivered by Jud^e Wicker
sbaui iu his speech made before the Se
attle Bar Association recently. No
words were minced in picturing the un
Anerican treatment which Alaska has
been forced to suffer since its acquire
ment by the I'nitea States. There
was no sidestepping the question. He
ulaoed the roat'er boldiy before them
when be said:
"The judges in Alaska have all the
power. The governor of Alaska has
uo power, lie is a mere figurehead.
He has authority to appoint bis own
secretary to name n "taries public and
to make reports to the President and
there his authority ends. He is sworn
to see that the laws are enforced, but if
they are not he has no authority to en
force them. All he can do is to repor:
to Washington.
"The people of Washington and
especially the p.opleof Seattle do not
realize conditions in Alaska. You
talk about your trade with the Orient
when there is. comparatively, not a
dollar's worth of original trade from
Seattle to the Orient. With us you have
a trade amounting to ??u,000,000 a year
We have more coal than Pennsylvania
more gold than California, more tin
than Wales, more fish thin the rest of
the world combinad."
Speeches like the one Judge
Wickersham delivered canoo" help but
make for good. Pleadings for what is
due Alaska appears to have been all ic
vain, acd, if demands are necessary,
they should be made ? made not alone
before our neighbors in Washington,
but to "All the world and the rest of
mankind." No good can rtsult from
petty bickerings, locilly. The meu
who Detray the people of Alaska for
the honors that go with official prefer
ment are mere pawns in the big game
teat must be pl&ved directly with
congress. What Alaska must do is to
make a determined fight in congie-s
aud make it quick.
HAKE GOOD
There is uot very much left to ihis
years base ball season but there is no
reason for Skagway to complain. The
team that represented this city played
good bill. Tbo nine was well supported
andt.be rooters worked overtime wb?n
It was necessary. The old guard which
has been with us for many seasons and
those who pUved with us (or the first
time this year ball made good and
when "Si" Tiinner puts away the
team's playing outfit, surely he can be
| certain that every one in Skagway is
well satisfied with the work of the boys
I and thai we all agree he has made
good.
ARCTIC BROTHERHOOD PRO
QRESS1VE
, That Sitka is to be congratulated on
h iving made an excellent selection we
permitting the recent Fourth of July
celebration to be placed under the
charge of Camp Sitka No. 6 of the
Arctic Brotherhood, is evident frcn the
rc|iort which recently appeared in The
Sitka Alaskan, which shows how thor
oughly every detail was attend d to.
It is a new departure for the Arctic
Brotherhood to attempt to arrange cel
ebrations, but in this, as in all things,
it clearly stands out they never do
things by halves.
The Jar.ce tonight that is being j
given for the benefit of ball the club
deserves to be well patronized. It is !
the iast time the lovers of the game
will be called upon this year for sup
pert and they can certainly afford to
be generous once more.

DRUBBING
Local Team Lose To
Soldiers By 10 To
3 Score
The ball tram or the soldiers, Co. F.
of the 10th Infantry, treated the locals
to a surprise aad, incidentally, to a
severe dr ubbing yesterday afternoon
when they defeated Skagway by a score
of 10 to 3 The Soldiers put up the
best exhibition they hare so far given
this season. Tiii.tr oatfiald was good
and Logue and Kelly, the battery,
struck a steady gate and kept it up all
through. While it is true that only a
portion of the local b >ys wore in the
game, never-the-leis, bad all of them
been playing yesterday it is certain that
they would have had to play ball all the
time if they had won it. Clarence Ol
son acted as Umpire. A retur i same is
be inn arranged and will be played
either here or at Fort Seward shortly.
To Remove Wart*.
For liome tre.itmcnt for warts there
Is a safe remedy, n simple one and
within the reach of all. It is this: Sev
eral times a day moisten the spots
with water and ru'o them with a piece
of -washing soda. This removes them,
and no scar remains that Is to stay.
Frequently a little white spot appears
after tbe wart Is gone, but that will
soon wear awny.
A home treatment does very ivell to
remove those on the hands and f ace
when they are small, but the larger
ones should be removed by electricity,
particularly those that appear near the
ears, on the throat and under the chin.
These are glandular and should nnder
no possible circumstances be treated
by any one but a specialist. He will re
move them surely and safely. Elec
tricity has done quite so much In the
removing of warts as It has In the tak
ing away of moles that physicians con
alder it the best meaus of destroying
these overgrowths of flesh.
