SLOW-BUT BETTER THAN NEVER
A little while ago there was a perfect
fever on in this city looking to clean
liness. It was in the spring when
these fevers assail naturally neatly
every uormal community. At Dawson,
Fairbanks and other towns ol the
interior where the spring is much more
backward than here, this fever came
?nd went long since, spent itself in
good works and the towns have long
been enjoying the result*.
It is just three weeks since the
Ladies' Aid SOcfety of this city In
respectfully worded resolutions, asked
the city council to came a day long
past for tbi> same work to bejione here
and the request was answered in rather
cavalier fashion with contemptuous
running comment by some of the
councllmen. All that the Ladlet' Aid
society at that lime asiced was that the
council would give them the signal for
united action. The resolutions were
simply placed on tile.
Now that the summer is on. visitors
?re a. ready crowding our streets and
hotels, everybody is busy at something
else, the council wakes up and expecta
the pet pie to respond to its beck *nd
call.
The time to get results Id a matter of
this kind is the time when the people
are io humor for it and advantage may
be taken of that natutal enthusiasm
which goes with voluntary action and a
desire to do the thing th?t everybody
but the council seems to have known
ought to be done? at the time that It
ought to have been done. There it an
old saying that it is never loo late to do
good, and the council is acting on that
rather faulty doctrine. Let us try to
revive our iuteresl in the matter and go
to it and clean up the city.
THE THINGS A NEWSPAPER DON'T SAY
Id a speech mule by Ralph PulltJ
zer, o'dest -on ol the owner and .
general manager of the New York
World, upon the occasion of the
i")th anniversary of Joseph Pul
itzer's proprietorship, a lew days
ago, was emphasized something wLicb
he says the Worjd has always tried to
realize and something which it Is s?fr
to say the general public does not.
is worth rep-atiag. It was this:
"We should never forget for an Id.
stant that one reporter thoughtlessly
writing an inaccurate story may have
it In his power lo do more harm to I
some unfortunate than could the gov- I
eroor of a sovereign state; that one
buts editor heedlessly ordering a mis
taken crusade may have it in his power
to do more irreparable injury to inno
cent victims than could a senator of
the United Sta'es; that one editorial
writer recklessly making and continu- j
log an unmerited attack may have it in
his power to blast a reputation and
shatter a career more utterly than could
the president of the United States."
But in placing their estimate of the

value of a newspaper to any community,
few people rcckonin the count the
things the newapaper DON'T SAY.
And jot the things a newspaper don't
say-? thlnga that It might say, and the
saying of which would ba very inter
esting and t?nd to increase the number
of ita readers? stan 's very close up in
importance to the things it does say;
Importance, that Is, to the community,
looking to peace and harmony in the
aggregate as well as to peace of mind
of ind.vlduals concerned.
The order issued by United States
Marshal Shoup, directing that the lid
be placed securely on "dance halls and
bawdy saloons" in the tirst judicial dis
trict as it has been placod in the other
two, is interesting enough to us here
as onlookers, but it does not alTect us
materially and will make no change In
our Incomings and outgoings. There is
nothing of the kind in Skagway, and our
general prospetity is an evidence of how
these things are not necessary to the
making of "good time*," despite the
declaration so insistently made iu com
munities where they are allowed to
exist.
Just one month from today we will
have to be ready for the celebration of
the fourth of July? the greatest cele
bration ever, as proposed. There Is
not an hour to be lost if we are to oe as
ready as we ought to be to make
that success which everybody would
wish to see. The Arctic* Brotherhood
has already appointed a committee to
act with committees of other orcani
zations. It must be a ease of pulling
together with earnest and intelligent
enthusiasm.
