GOOD BUSINESS JUDGMENT
Tha taxpayers of Skagway gave
ample evideuce of theii poastssion of
ability to discriminate wisely in mat
ters of business yesterday, *hen 'they
expressed In such an emphatic manner
their disapproval of the proposed tease
of the Northwest Power & Light Com
pany's water and light plants. By
their votes they made more secure
every investment in this city because
they showed their determination to
have a businesslike administration of
municipal affairs.
No good business man would invest
in Anything about which ha knew no
more than was vouchsafed the people
on the subject matter of yesterday's
election. Certainly none would do so
were the indications as plentiful as
they were yesterday that more infor
mation would make the proposition
even less attractive from a business
standpoint.
Again the Dally Alaskan desires to
compliment the city council for refus
ing to ratify the recommendation Of
the water-works committee in the
proposed water and light purchase
proposition without first securing the
judgment of the people in tbe matter.
While the c-all for the election did not
allow much t. me between Its issuance
and the day tor voting, it is very doubt
ful if the council could have secured
more information to present for the en
lightment of the voters bad it delayed
the matter a week. At any rata, let
us be thankful that the request for a
postponment was denied and that the
matter is now settled.
If this effort on the part of certain
influential Democrats to side-track
Bryan for a dark-horse presidential
candidate should succeed and the Re
pub. icans should nominate a strictly
Roosevelt UepuS.icab.result will make
the Parker disaster seem like a Demo
cratic triumph.
Delphic M. Delmas, who made a
world-wide reputation by Mi conduct
of tbs defease of Harry Thaw, will de
fend some of the indicted San Francisco
millionaires who are accused of giving
bribes to Abe Raef.
The people did it because they were
afraid that if the Northwest Light &
Power Company were to go out of busi
nets we might lose Superintended Ed
win Browne as a citi zen.
Many Skagwayans yesterday acted on
that safe rule wbicb bas been adopted
by many wise legislators ? "If you don't
know, vote 'No.'"
A majority of the Skagway taxpayers
are of the Missouri variety ? they want
to be shown.
"Taft and Hughes" is now said to be
the administration ticket.
Councilman De Ssrisy wears a smile
thai won't ccne off!
The Skagway women have an eye for
business? and a vote, too.
