EDITORIAL PAGE
When Phil Abrahams was in Juneau
a few days ago, he suggested to
member* of the Alaska legislature
that they should pass a stringent
pure food law It w&s not so very
long ago that one of the largest
wholesale houses in Seattle had to
pay a fine for shipping misbranded
extracts to Alaska, but the indica
tions are that it did not serve to
Iwholly stop the practice.
The individual consumer can
uot be expected to tote a labra
tory around with him to test the
grade of stuff that is being offered
him for sale, consequently he has
to take what is offered and run the
chance of eating embalmed foods.
There used to be in popular
vogue, before our time, and probab
ly before the time of Phil Abrahams,
a set of laws known as the Mosaic,
or old Jewish, in which it was
forbidden to eat certain unclean
things, but granted the right to sell
such stuff to the strangers without
the city gates, and even encouraged
i he practice. From a knowledge
or some of the perishables that oc
casionally comes from below, we are
inclined to thin* that some of our
whoieoule houses are working un
der those statutes.
The United States supreme court
would doubtless hold that a "rea
sonable" amount of rottenness might
b shipped to Alaska and sold, if it
cid not restrain trade to any appre
ciable exttut, therefore it would be
well for oar statesmen not to make
it pure food law too se\ere.
We believe a law could be en
forced wh'.. h would make the retailer
(when things got too rank) clean
out his Augean stables and serve
oin an article of food that the rats
and flies had not previously staked
i laima on.
It is true that there is a pure
food law applying to Alaska, but
?l needs a little supplementing,
something squirted into it that will
make it effective. A little formal
dehyde or freesum to keep it from
decaying and falling into inocuous
desuetude.
Next Monday is election day. It
also April Fool's day. We pr*"
aume there have already been a
number of slates fixed up for the
votera to choose from It la a noted
fact In history that when any great
crtals arises, men will be found to
bear the I urdens and carry the
country safely through, and It Is
1 doubtless the case with Skagway.
While It Is true that many of us
thiuk of our candidates are defeat
e ? the municipality will wither up
like an autumn leaf and blow into
a fence corner, yet within two, or
even one week, after election, not
on? of us will appear at the council
meetings to find out whether the
officers are on the jobs or not. We
will continue to neglect the opposi
tion, if they be elected, the same
as would our friends, should they
succeed.
It is very probable that no one Is
going after an office on the city
council with the Intention of getting
suddenly rich out of the operation.
They, could not If they would. They
can't even do anything very bad,
because we have laws to prevent
it; and if a council attempts to go
wrong, we are parties to the crime
1 we do not Invoke the laws already
made for our protection, and stop
them.
There Is always a difference of
opinion as to the policies to be pur
sued by *he city government. An
honest difference of opinion does
not neceeaartly make the other fel
low a criminal, because most of ys
have been wrong ourselves at least
once in our lives, and it is possible
that this is another time.
In our young and lovesick days,
many of us, had we been on the
council, would desire to spend public
money in building lovers' lanes
and hanging guitars on the trees.
Later we desired race horses and
automobile tracks. Now we want
to get rich and never spend a cent
I for anything. Tomorrow we will
want to improve the cemetery for
our own occupancy. The really
sise councilman will take into con
sideration all these things aud be
governed b* moderation.
Skagway will live long and con
tinue to be the cleanest and health
iest city In Alaska, even if some of
our enemios are elected. It ought .
to ninke us feel pretty small though,
to refer to a fellow citizen, a neigh- I
bor as an "enemy," so we use that
term in Its Pickwickian, of nolitical !
sense

They have got something to sell, but in order to yOU interested
