LEGISLATIVE HYPOCRISY.
The legislature of the State of
Washington refused to amend the
criminal code so as to allow the
sale of cigarettes to all persons. except
those under the age of 21.
The Washington cigarette law is a|
farce. Some of the legislators who |
voted on the question walked to the j
statehouse with cigarettes in their
mouths. More cigarettes are smoked
and sold in Seattle than in any other
city in the west, except San Francis
co.
The only purpose that the anti cig
arette bill serves is to put a premium
on law breaking and breed disrespect
of the law. It does not in the least
restrict the sale of cigarettes.
It's only one example of the legis
lative hypocrisy which is far too
prevalent in the I'nited States. We
pass laws for which there is no pub
lic demand and which cannot be en
forced for this reason. Then we pro
ceed to break them.
They look nice on the statute
books, however, and are a source of
pleasure to the "reformers."
PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
The prospects look good for a pros
perous season in Skagway. Th>'
spring rush to the inside has s' 'led
and from now on nearly every boat
landing here should have a full pas
senger list. The A. Y. P. exposition
will attract thousands and thousands
of tourists to Seattle and many of
these people will make the trip to
Skagway. Every one of them will
leave some money in town.
The freight shipments to the In
terior promise to far exceed those of
last year and there is a fine chance
of a presidential or congressional
party making us a visit. There is a
business revival all over the country
and Skagway will get its share of the
improvement in material wellfare.
LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.
The battleship Maine was blown up
in Havana harbor on Felt. 15. 1808.
War with Spain followed on the sup
position that they had caused the de
struction of the vessel. That was
eleven years ago and the government
has consistently refused to raise the
wreck of the Maine. It lies in Havana
harbor, a menace to navigation and a
reproach to our nation. It looks very
much as if our naval officials be
lieved that the explosion that de
stroyed the Maine, came from the in
side.
The circuit court of appeals at
Washington. D. C.. has decided that
the supreme court of the United
States can be criticized without the
critic being liuble to be hanged,
drawn and quartered. The world do
move.
Eugene Debs, the socialist leader,
has a pessimistic nature. He predicts
that Taft and his cabinet will show
partiality to the trusts. If the admin
istration should do otherwise. Debs
will be disappointed.
The vile attack made on Delegate
James Wlckersham, was probably ins- i
tigated by the "higher ups" among
Alaska's federal officials.
An interesting exposition on "What
We Did With The Money" will be de
livered Monday night at the town
council meeting.
"Suffer the little children to come
unto me. for of such Is the kingdom
of heaven."

A few cuss words now and ? then
are used by the best of men.
Taft wants to come to Alaska ?
and we want him to come.
