THE RESTRICTED DISTRICT MUST
BE SECLUDED.
Both the Citizens and the Tax
Payers parties have pledged them
selves to decrease the expense? of the
public school during the coming year,
and both parties have now gone on
record as favoring rigid economy in
the conduct of municipal affairs. It
is a significant fact, however, that
the Tax Payers party In its platform
has stated nothing about its position
in regard to the restricted district.
That this is the real issue of the
campaign, however, was made plain
by the tenor of the speeches at the
Tax payers convention; for one of the
speakers plainly stated "that the town
needed a system to get all the money
possible," and this same speaker
"decried the work of a few narrow
chested hypocrites who had hurt the
town and decreased the municipal rev*
enues."
The Citizens part}* in sharp con
trast to the equivocating methods
adopted by the opposition, fairiy fac
es the issue and in its platform
states:
"The Citizens Party recognizes the
need of proper regulation of the so
cial evil, but maintain that if a re
stricted district should be established
It must be remote from main ave
nues of travel where school children
should not be compelled o pass daily
resorts of evil, and we 'herefore en
dorse the action of the present Coun
cU in closing Seventh' Avenue to this
form of vice in response to the peti
tion of over one hundred citizens of
Skagway."
It may be tha* prostitution is a
necessary evil; that it must be toler
ated and regulated by all communities
and municipalities. But if such is
the case surely the evil aspects of
this vice should be minimized, the dis
trict given over to this sort of thing
should be secluded and the women
themselves segregated. The Citizens
party does not take the stand that
there should be no restricted district
in Skagway; but the platform does
plainly state that such a district
must be established in a place remote
from the main channels of travel so
that young and impressionable child
ren are not forced to pass resorts of
evil on their way to and from school,
and in this way almost inevitably
have some sort of knowledge of this
nefarious business forced upon them.
For years the "row" at Seventh
avenue has fairiy flaunted its vice in
the face of the town. After nightfall
no modest woman cared to risk a
walk even on the adjoining streets
of Skagway. Tourists and strangers
were wont to gaze cynically at the
scens and pass caustic comment upon
the moral standards of a community
that would tolerate such a public af
front to decency. Every man. woman
and child in the town was almost
daily forced to recognize the exist
ance of this evil.
Last summer, after a petition had
been presented which was signed by
more than 125 residents of the town,
the council very properly took 3teps
to stamp out vtW ?Seventh avenue
"row."
Since that action was taken there
has been a constant hue and cry
against the action of the council. It
has been alleged that the business
interests of the town have suffered
although how such social parasites
could make or break any town is not
plain to see. It has been urged
time and time again that the restrict
ed district is a necessity. Several
groatly disgruntled property owners,
who agato want to derive an income j
from their property when occupied
as before, and others whose business
they claim has suffered through the
shutting down of the "row," are re
sponsible for this agitation. There
is not and never has been anything
but a sense of satisfaction by the
town in general over the council's
action.
The candidates for council on the
Citizens ticket do not say that there
shall not be a restricted district, but
they do most emphatically say that
this district shall not be located in
the very heart of Skagway, where it
is a constant menace to the raorals
of the growing youth of the commun
ity and an insult to the modesty of
every mother, wife and daughter of
Skagway; where it casts reflections
upon the public .decency or the com
munity and gives us an unenviable
reputation for moral laxity.
If a restricted district is establish
; ?id in Skagway it will be in a remote
i and secluded spot where 110 resident
| of the town can be offended thereby;
it will be where small bboys and
girls will not be forced to see sights
wholly unseemly for their innocent
eyes; and where the evil will be
suppressed, sceluded and minimized,
instead of being advertised, flaunted
and aggravated. Surely mon and wo
men, fathers, mothers, husbands and
wives who seek this laudable end do
not deserve to be termed "narrow
chested hypocrites" nor is it prob
able. in the light of recent develop
able, in the light of recent mining
developments, that Skagway will suif
fer certain and speedy commercial de
cline through the absence of a few
red light denizens.

J. Preoaft, 311 Third Ave., N., Se

ceived from Doan's Kidney Pills over
three years ago, has been permanent .
and I, therefore, cheerfully confirm
the public statement I gave in favor
02 the remedy at that time. For two
years 1 had attacks of backache and
my kidneys were so weak that the
least cold I contracted settled in them
making my condition worse. Doan's
Kidney Pills promptly disposed of the
pains in my back and regulated the
passages of the kidney secretions. A
the present time there is not ti symp
tom of my former trouble remaining.

complaint to give Doan's Kidney Pills
a trial."
