DON'T BE FOOLED
The issues of the municipal cam
paign stand forth with unusual clarity
for it may be truthfully stated that
there is but one point wherein the
Tax Payers party presents an original
issue, and that is the stand for the
wide open" town and the re-estab
lishment of the houses of ill fame
on Seventh avenue.
The cry of "economy" comes with
very poor grace from the Tax Payers
party. The last time the Tax Payers
held the reins of government, during
the Shea administration, they expend
ed more than $30,000 and left a debt
of $2,952.57 for the present council
to assume. The present council sav
ed more than $11,000 in public expend
itures and yet conducted the town's
affairs on a decreased revenue of
more than $6,500 than of the preced
ing year.
The credit of proposing a reduction
of the expenses of the public school
also belongs solely to the Citizens
party, for Secretary Miller of the
school board embodied the recommeu
dations for salary reductions aggre
gating $1,500 in a report made to the
council March 21.
Now, however, the Tax Payers party
has adopted these issues and art
seeking office on a platform of which
every plank but one is composed of
promises to do what the Citizens
party has already done.
The one issue where the parties
differ is on the disposal of the re
stricted district. The present council
closed Seventh avenue to prostitution
in response to a widely signed peti
tion from property owners and vot
ers, and if the candidates of the party
are elected to office they propose thai
this street shall remain closed to
this form of vice.
The platform of the Citizens party
pledges this in emphatic language;
while, on the other hand, the Tax
Payers party, make an opposite stand
their main issue in verbal arguments,
yet absolutely refrain from making
mention of it in their platform.
At the Tax Payers convention one
of the speakers stated that "what
was needed was a system to get the
money" (he did not iay who the
money was to be gotten for) and
"descried the efforts of a few nar
row chested hypocrites who had hurt
the town and decreased municipal
revenues."
Later, n a published statement
over his name. William Britt, stated
"it is the consent, of the nominees
to locate the 'colony' somewhere, and
not have it scattered all over town
as it is today. If no other location
could possibly be found than around
Seventh avenue, I believe the 'col
ony's' presence there could be shield
ed from public eyes as well as on
any other street."
This is the sheerest e<iui vocation,
for doubtless "no other location could
possibly be found," and in all likli
hood an ostenelbl attempt would
be made so "shield the 'colony' from
public eyes on Seventh avenue." Just
what means would be takem to "shield
the 'colony' from public eyes" Is not
stated ; but It has several times been
urged by candidates on the Tax Pay
ers ticket to enclose the restricted
district in a stockade. This would mere
ly aggravate the conditions that form
vrly existed and we doubt If any of the
fathers and mothers of Skagway wish
to shelter the social evil within a con
spicuous stockade built In the center
of the resident district.
Don't be fooled; for if the Tax Pay
ers candidates are elected to office
and carry out their spoken and writ
ten statements an effort will be made
to re-establish prostitution on Seventh1
avenue. If the Citizens are chosen
this street will be closed forever to
this sort of thing. This is the only
issue of the campaign and it is now
squarely up to the voters of the town
as to whether they want prostitution
entrenched in the midst of Skagway's
best residence district, flaunting its
vice as before, an affront to the de
cency of the town, an insult to our
reputation as a community.
THE SCHOOL BOARD
Skagway has always taken a great
pride in its public school system and
too much importance cannot be plac
ed upon the manner in which we con
duct the education of our growing
children. Progressive, broadininded
men are needed on the school board
and E. J. Liddicoat and V. I. Hahn
are men of this character.
Mr. Liddicoat is at present on the
school board and is fitted in every
way for the post which he occupies.
Mr. Liddicoat has children in the
school and also has property inter
ests fn Skagway. Who could be
more vitally concerned in both the
efficient conduct of the school, and
yet, at the same time, have it to his
interests to carry out economy and
to prevent any wastefulness or use
less expense? Mr. Liddicoat has, the
esteem of the voters of Skagway, and
he should be returned to the office
where he has served so faithfully and
and well.
Like Mr. Liddicoat, V. 1. Hahn has
children of his own in the public
school and is naturally interested in
their education. Mr. Hahn is himself
a college graduate and no better man
in all Skagway could be selected to
serve on the school board. Personally
or publically not one single objection
can be found to the candidacy of Mr.
Hahn. He is a man pre-eminently
fitted for school director.
Politics should not be considered
in the selection of candidates for the
school board and the men and women
of Skagway should sink all political
preference and unite in choosing the
two men best qualified for the tasks
they must perform.
In another column is published a
letter from Miss Fay Stinebaugh, at
Elkhart, Ind., which mentions that
she and her brother, Lewis Stine
baugh. entered the high school at Elk
hart from the Skagway high school
without having to undergo any pre
liminary examinations. This certain
ly speaks well for Skagway's high
school; and the parents of Skagway
may feel assured that their children
are getting as good educational ad
vantages here as they could anywhere
in the States.
If woman suffrage prevailed In
Skagway it's a good bet, that the can
didates on the Citizens ticket would
receive an overwhelming majority of
of the votes of the women. The mo
thers, wives and daughters of the
town do not take kindly to the at
tempt that is being made to re-estab
lish Seventh avenue as a sin center.
Why are certain candidates on the
Tax Payers ticket so concerned with
the re-establishment of the disorderly
houses on Sewnth avenue? Because
their own pocket books have suffered
by its suppression or through patriotic
motives in "upbuilding the town?"
No sane employer would "fire" a
man as long as he was delivering the
goods. By the same token the vot
ers of Skagway should show their ap
preciation of the splendid services
of the councilmen on the Citizens
ticket by giving them another term
The Tax Payers are making an is
sue on a plank that they do not dare
place in their platform. This coward
ly equivocation will hardly commend
itself to the Intelligent voters of
Skagway.
Thfr personality of the candidates
will tell the story. Compare the two
tickets man for man and then decide
who is most entitled to your vote.
Compare the two platforms. Which
is the more candid? Which one is
based upon performance instead of
promise?
Vote the straight Citizens ticket
and have a clean town.
