TALK ABOUT THE CLIMATE,
BUT TELL THE TRUTH
.Uaaka Is still hoping for a con
dition that will cause the world to
pny mure attention to Its natural
wealth Instead of talking about the
cliiuate. ? Washington Stor.
Alaska is willing that Its climate
?tiall Ik. included among tboac things
to which the world may pay atten
tion. What Alaska haa objected to
L? ihat all those things that have
txi-n ?al?l about its climate are not
1>0 NOT ROW OVER APPOINT
MENTS.
A vigorous rivalry for official pos
ition has a wholesome effect on
the pub"c service. It provides a
lirger n jmber of men from which
to *ci<Kt officers, and thereby In
creases the opportunity to secure
satisfactory men to serve the pub
lic. To usk for a public office for
cn?.-H>lf cr for one's friends is every
roans frivllege. And further, any
thing that is worth going ater Is
wort a goinf after hard. There can
be uo objection to men working for
office as hard as thoy feel like
working. However, harm does fol
low rowing about offices, and It Is
the duty of candidates and tholr
friends to see that thsro is nono of
it in Alaska. Hows make factions,
snd there is too much for Alaskans
to do for them to divide Into fac
tious.
After it Is all oyer, after the com
mitters have got through and the
proper authorities have made the ap
po.ntruent?, lot us forget everything
but our duty to give every man ap
roiuted to office the support that
he will need In ordor to mako good,
and then Judgo him by the record
he makes rather than by whom he
defeated for the appointment or by
whom he u as ondorsed for tho place.
The people have a right to expect
ihat much from every man that Is a
crndidatc for office, and from all
of bis f i lends.

way CUv has a ball team tint Is
strong on the defensive. That Is
what the coming champions of tho
NortU at Juneau like. They would
feel badly if they thought they
would not have to be put on their
mtltlc in the fight for the top.
We note that Mr. Troy states that
'he Sku?,w<ty team is strong on the
defeuslve. Yes, tfiey are and had
he rfuowu as we do, that our boys
do not intend to go Into training for
the coming foot raced, they would
have piled up tho score from oight
n-c? to oil even dozen, but then,
wh^ts the use of talking about It.
