PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRIES
HELP THE TOWN GROW.
A flood of mail order house cata
logs landed ia Skagway o& the last
1 Sjli>tii u and this morning at least |
tow r hundred were distributed by Po>&
nuktor Kin dell to the people at Stag- j
way. Some people of Skagway un
doubtedly ordered these catalogs. To
others Uey were sent without soliclu
?aou. the mail order house* having de
vious and divers ways of securing ad
dresses.
The ntan or woman who patronizes
mail order houses in prefreence to j
the local merchants is both foolish
and disloyal to the town that supports!
h.m Hooliah for the simple reason
that no mail order house can supply
goods of quality. They are not de l
(endent upon the same people as the
local merchant, who must give satis
faction in self protection.
In the second place it is disloyal
and short sighted to patronise a for- 1
eigo concern. A town is a communit
of people bound together by ties of i
self interest. Kvery one to a more or \
Irs* degree is dependent upon his
neighbors and co>worlters. Various!
industries are in demand. Money is j
spent and circulated in a sort of end
less chain. But when a man patron- 1
laes mail order houses he breaks that
chain, he robs his town of money and
rsually gets a "cheap" and inferior
article In return.
Stop and think a minute.
IX> the mail order houses help pay |
your taxes? Do they help snpport!
lh? schools and educate the children?
Do they contribute to the support of
any public Institution?
No, they do not. Why, then, snp
port them?
People should patronize home Indus
tries. It's cheaper in the long run
and it's the oaty fair way. Reverse
the tables, whatever your business is.
aud imagine how you would like It
ii ouiaide competition was called in.
Buy at home and thus boost for
a bigger, better And busier Skagwa>.
BALLINGER VS PINCHOT.
Richard Bellinger of Seattle, Sec
Jetary of the Interior, has figured
much in the public priuu of late. He
has been accused of throwing open
the Montana public lands to water
power wonomoiy. of having an un
due interest in the Alaska coal land
patents, and of refusing to follow
ihe policies of conservation laid down
by Koosevelt.
Clifford Pinchot, chief of the For
estry bureau, is largely responsible
tor the attacks on ttalllnger. Pinchot
attacked to save himself and his pol
icies; for it is generally believed that
an effort was being made by Bailing
?r to force Pinchot out of office.
Halllnger's denials to the numerous
charges against him have been weak
and unconvincing; he has pleaded as
an excuse that he has always acted!
within the law. His motives may be
entirely honest, but he has Incurred
a wide spread suspicion that he has
showed ? or rather attempted to show,
untU balked by Pinchot? favoritism
for a few monopolies.
Pinchot has the sympathy of the
people In the battle he la waging to
preserve the national resources. Taft
must rapport Pinchot or forfeit the
confidence of a large portion of the
voting population of the west,
?UNSET OF LIFE.
Old age la coming on a pace, and
bringing wriakles to my toce. and
th tenia* out my hair; Oe years haw
uadernained any strength, and bent;
my stalwart back at length, but real- J
l}\ I dont care. I found life's morning
calm and sweet; 1 labored in the
i.oouiiine ? ileal ? uow cvtne the r> st
aud shade; the suu is s. nklng in the
west, but t have always* do no my l>< :?(,
dusk fiuds me uuuf.aid. Why should '
a weary pilgrim grieve, wtieu bo has J
reached tile's vjuiet eve, ? ith all its >
glamors past'.' Why should the **)?;
worn pilgrim w'ail, ? bo, buli'eted by
storm and gale, ? refuge finds at
last: lr you can say: "I've done my
best, while 1 have beeu a trauaieul
guesi, in this old tavern here," the'ii
may you go with buoyant tread and
oaunUvss spirit to your bed, tor there
la naught to fear. You've made, no
doubt, some weird mistakes; you've
ttl a e trail of foolish breaks, but
blunders are no sin; If you have
tried to travel straight, the guardian
of the shining gate will bid you enter
in. Aud so the twilight hour is
sweet, to pilgrims of the weary feet,
who westward tread in throngs; they
are not chlldreu in the dark, appalled
by phantoms stern and stark, but
lulktl by angel songs. ? Walt Mason.
>rom Capt. Johnson down to the
stokers the crew of the ill fated Ohio
all acted with signal heroism. Three
members of thie crew lost their lives
in attempting to rescue passengers
and sticking by a dangerous post
through duty. There are heroes in
all walks of life and but few cowards
follow the sea. All honor to Stephens,
Anderson and Kccles, who died on
the Ohio that others might live.
Yesterday this day's madness did
prepare.
Tomorrow's silence, triumph or
despair;
Drink, for you know not whence you
came, nor why; .
Drink, for you know not why you
go. nor where. ? Omar Khayyair

Henry Shattuck should b?> removed
as clerk of the court for the First
division. Public confidence In the in
tegrity of the court will wane if Shat
tuck Is retained In office after his
participation in the disgraceful and
cowardly attack on Editor Russell.
It is now in order for Editors Lig
gett and Howdishell to start crowing.
At present they are the only daily
paper editors in Southeastern Alaska
who arn't under indictment. ? Juneau
