WHITE PASS RATES AND THE
PAPERS
The Whitehorse Star complains that
the Daw ton paper* have not said a
word in condemnation of the White
Pass freight and passenger rates since
the beginning of the investigation by
the Canadian railway commission.
Why should they? The Dawson
papers probably understood that the
matter is now being investigated by a
quasi judicial tribunal, and Jthe pre
sumption is that the commission will
give everybody a square deal. They
also understand, probably, that it is not
public clamor or passionate abuse of
the railroad that is wanted jby the
railway commission, but sworn testi
mony and documentary evidence.
In fact, in this^calling upon the news
papers to support a demand for freight
reductionsat this time there is a reflec
tion upon the|commissioners themselves.
It is tantamont to saying that they
can be influenced by political interests
or popular 'prejudices. The principle
involved it is much like the attempt
journalists sometimes make to influ
ence courts and juries, sworn to decide
a case according to the law and the
evidence. It is something that frequ
ently?too frequently, probably? re
sults in lines for contempt. '
The railway commissioners take it for
granted, as a matter of course, that the
people want rates as low as thev can
get|them They do not have to be told
they have common sense. The demand
for lower rates brought them here.
They came to ascertain by personal in
vestigation and by|the consideration of
legal testimony as to whether the |
people are entitled to that or not.
The Dawson people have assumed a
dignified position. They take thestand
of those who ask for and expect a
square deal. They see no rettson to
believe they will not get it.
The Juneau Transcript, in the course
of a long winded editorial in which it
tries to show that the few Juneau tories
to whom it serves as a lickspittle are
IT, says that all three of the papers of
Juneau supported Got. Swineford, who
carried that town in the last election.
There is a rule of iaw which permits
the jury to refuse to believe the terti
mony of a witness in anything when it
is known that he has wilfully testified
falsely in as to any material fact. The
s?me rule may be safely be applied to
all walks of life, Including newspapers.
Perhaps, though, the Transcript thinks
the 'great question as to whom the
papers of that town supported is not
material and that to lie alout it is
pardonable. The vote of Southeastern
Alaska would justify that conclusion.
The Juneau Dispatch speaks of Fair
banks' ''temporary advantage" on ac
count of the big vote that was cast in
that city. It is difficult to see that the
Tacana gained anything by casting
more votes than Southeastern Alaska.
Southeast rn Alaska gave the Tanana
candidate a plurality. Thomas Cale
would have been elected had there
been not a vote polled in either the
Second or Third jud:cial division. He
came within three votes of carrying
Jnneau against the man who was sup
ported by all three Juneau." papers.

DaatomarT EnaaH
Acute attacks of colic, diarrhoe a and
dysentery come on without warning and
prompt relief must be obtained. There
is no necessity of incurring the expense
of a physl can's service in such case if
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy is at hand. A dose
of this remedy will relieve the patient
before a doctor could arrive. It has
never known to fail, even in the most
severe and dangerous cases and no
family should be without it. For sale

The Fifth Avenue dining room is

vated and is the largest and handsomest

The Juneau Transcript says the I
| Daily Alaskan did not support Thomas
, Cale through choice but because it was
I told to do so by the officers of the
White Pass & Yukon Route. The
readers of the Transcript possibly do
not koow how silly that sounds. The
fact of the matter is that the highest
official of the White Pass in Skagway
at the time of the election, and the
official that is most active in public
matters, was a supporter of Judge
Murane. He acted in his individual
capacity as an American citizen, as did
every other official and employe of the
railroad company.
RUNNER COMtS
BACK TO SKAGWAV
C. C. Runner returned on the Cottage
City this morning from Fairbanks and
Nome, and he will remain in Skagwav
for sometime. He closed out the inter
ests of himself and Miss Burke at Nome
and realized handsomely from his sales.
Mr. Runner says he still has mining
property at Fairbanks which will take
him back there but further than that
his entire interest is in Skagway.
