THE TRIUMPH OF GRAFT
Morally, xuJ la a physical sense,
too, outf o( the most Lr&gic liwipWrs
in the r?vem political history of this
country suddenly closed in Sail tYau
cisco when the notorious graft case*
were dropped.
If the big crooks who were accused
of bnbiug public officials during the
s &uiiU auU Keul regime are to K*>
five, theu the work of Heney auU
Burns and the wen who aided thcui
is to count for nothing, and the
quicker the curtain is rung down on
ihi> iafautous ihapter iu California s
history the better it will be.
It is an ugly record. The courts
have allowed shrewd lawyer* to play
hide and seek with the law. Men
hate committed suicide out of sheer
shame. Some of them are fugitives
from Justice. Witnessess have been
speeded away. Kfforts have been
made to assassinate Heney because
\4 his fight agaiust wholesale and or
ganized corruption.
And after all these thing* have
shamed California the state must be
further shamed by the confession
that it is not able to convict men
known to be guilty because evil spir
its in San Francisco have spirited
away the witness upon whom the
state depended for conviction. After
all perhaps it is a fit ending for a
chapter which reeks with so much
that is criminal and unclean. It is a
great triumph for graft and grafters.
? Seattle I'.-I.
The above reads well ia a paper pub"
lished iu the city known to be the
most corrupt in the country ? one that
is notorious for its strong arm meth
ods of thievery, it has been but a
few days since this band of looters
(tot together and burned the hammer
at a great ceremonial affair serving
notice on the world that the kindred
elements of the famous Seattle Spirit
had been brought together again.
TTiis is however, only another inci
dent testifying to the fact that the
town has a good sixed bludgeon with
which to attack other communities
and districts. If there is a town in
which graft runs rampant and go?*
unpunished, that place is Seattle ? be
fore the burning of the hammer all
of their dally papers were flinging
the shame of it to the breeze.

WELL PLEASED
While debating the tourist business
of the past two mouths, H. D. Kirmse
who 1s probably iu a better position
to judge than any of the business
me a of Skagwray, expressed his views
of the matter iu the presence of a
representative of the Daily Alaskan
as follows: ?
"It is largely up to the merchant
whether he will have a good season
or not. The past season with me has
been one of the best I ever had, and
1 attribute It to the fact that 1 have
'had the goods.' for all tourists 'must
be from Missouri and they must be
shown.' so I have been able to show
them.
"1 have made a study of the tourist
trade, and In my selection, of goods
for this summer's business, I used
the utmost care mxtd thought. Not
ak?i*e in the nugget Jewelry line, but
in the other line* of curioe which I
have had on display have 1 lost sight
of the fact that what the visitors
wanted was something typical of Al
aska and the Northland, and some
thing "different." That I was right
when I made my stock of nugget Jew
elry and souvenir goods is evidenced
each time a party of 'cheechacos' en
ter my store. All are loud In their '
praise and express their surprise at
such a stow and stock being in Skag
way.
"Yes, this is one of the most suc
cessful seasons I have ever had. and
I attribute It all to the appropriate
ness of my stock."
