OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
Admitted as second class mail matter
July 8, isas, at the Fostofflce
at Skagway, Alaska.
L. S. Keller, Publisher.
SENATOR BAILEY, CHAMPION OF
THE HORSE.
Prev lously it has been our stern
aim sad duty to descaut upon the
statesmanship of Joseph Bailey of
Texas, the senator who cast the lone
\ote against granting SSOO.OUO to the
Messina earthquake sufferers, and
who was the sole objector to hating
a fitting tribute paid to Abraham
Lincoln by the natioual congress.
We have scanued Bailey's public
career with curiosity. At one time
it was our belief that h?- represented
the Standard Oil. He denies the al
legation, however. Uut after reading
the glowing perioration which is a
copy of a speech made by him iu
the senate, we are incliued to believe
that he is representing the horses of
the I'nited States. This supposition
is more probable for the reasou that
Bailey himself is counected by con
sanguinity with the noble beast of
burden? for who will deny, especially
after reading the following speech,
that the southern senator is an ass?
The speech was made auent a bill
appropriating money to buy a vehicle
for a government official. Bailey
offered an amendment providing that
only vehicles drawn by horst-s should
be used. His sp?*ech follows:

.Mr. Bailey: "The senator front
Texas believes that next to the dog
the horse is man's b?*?t friend. The
senator from Texas believes thai th'<
horse is the noblest of Gotl's dumb
creatures and he does not want to
see hiiu supplanted by a senseless
machine. As far as I am concerned
I think the people had better travel
a little slower and go the old way
rather than travel so fast and not go
the safe way. If gentlemen want to
use an automobile and take the risk
of what it may do. for sometimes I
understand it turns upside down and
sometimes catches the occupant in
the turn ? ."
Mr. W'arreu. interrupting ? "And
sometimes horse* run away."
Mr. Ralley ? "Horses run away. 1
tcrant that, but the horse only runs
away when man mistreats him or
does not know how to use him. All
the accidents with horses are trace
able to the folly or mismanagement
of man. Hut I am told that accidents
to these machines are sometimes un
avoidable. 1 am told they some
time* "skid." I do not know exactly
wna* this means, but I have an idea
Then I am told they sometimes 'turn
turtle' and the top side go?-s to the
bottom and the bottom side goes to
the top.
"If the senator or a citizen chooses
to use them on their own premises I
would be the lasfl.ian to Interfere;
but I do not think it is right to take
Luem on the highway aud endanger
the lives of men. women and children
by the use of a machine that
frightens the means of locomotion em
ployed for a thousand years.
"I believe that at least the govern
ment ought to set the example of
travelling the old way. and let us
travel by things that breath and feel
rather than by machines that neither
breath nor feel and yet produce much
mischief in the world."
SEATTLE'S ALASKA DAY.
Seattle's widely advertised "Alaska
Day." ostensibly for the purpose of
agitating an appropriation of one mil
lion dollars to be used In road con
struction in the north, was pulled off
last Sat-irday according to schedule
It Is a thing Of the past and Its pass
ing did not cause any wild excitement
in this section of Alaska.
The scheme was concocted by h
Valdez merchant and a Seattle news
paper reporter. Its main Idea was
good, but the details were sadly
marred in the execution. In the first
place, Seattle's voice wan not raised
tor the good roa?ls money until after
the amount of the appropriation had
been decided upon and reported by
the military affairs committee of the
House of Representatives. In the
second place, the amount to be ap
propriated by congress is sufficient
for Alaska's Immediate needs. In the
third place. Alaska needs and wants
territorial government more than It
does good roads. Seattle, however,
has sufficient and selfish reasons for
not advocating territorial government
for Alaska.
Seattle has held her "Alaska Day"
and the shouting is over. At least
no harm was done, and It is only fair
to say that the agitation widely ad
vertised Alaska and in this way
proved of great beueflt to us. Per
haps Alaskans would feel more grate
ful to Seattle if the motives of her
people were not so transparently sel
fish.
Senator Knute Nelson of .Minneso
ta is one of the strongest foes to
the reappointment of Judge Gunnison.
nator Nelson is the man who aided
in sec.it ing the appointment of Judge*
Noyes in Nome and Noyes is the man
who abetted one of the most gigantic
a:.d bare faced steals in history.
Nelson is also the man who worked
for the removal of Judge Wtckershani
our present delegate. Nelson evident
ly doesn't believe in an honest Judic
iary.
Senator Bailey, judging by the
tenor of his speech, printed in this
column, evidently believes that we
should abolish automobiles and all
other forms of machinery. He would
arrest the sweep of progress and turn
back the hands of time.
Washington. D. C.. club women
have declared against the comic sup
plements of newspapers on the
ground they are immoral, degrading.
Insane and silly. Yes ? and then some
Seattle asked congress to give Al
aska $ 1 ,000,000 for roads. Three
days afterwards our regular appropria
tion Is cut out. Seattle boosting
doesn't seem to get results.
The A.-Y.-P. exposition directors
have raised the price of admission.
? ? raising of a price lu Seattli
should not excite comment.
Poor old Boshter Hill Squires has
been licked again. If he ever does
win a fight it will be worthy of big
headlines, in the papers.
A New Jersey murderer fears the
demists' chair more than the electric
chn'r. We sympathize with him.
"Foul Weather Pete" Madsen Is
lcadiug the strenuous life these days.
. Bowlers are not superstitious. They
never stop to pick up pins.
Alaska needs home rule.
RECOlS LAND
IF BORN A6I
NEW YORK. ? A curious clause has
been discovered in an ancient deed
Just unearthed at the county clerk's
office. It relates to a few acres of
land iu New Jersey, which William
Patterson deeded to his sons in 1852.
It reads as follows: "If at any time
the grantor shall be born on earth
again, the within described parcel of
land shall revert to him. In the
event that he is not born or that the
second coming of Christ Is delayed
more than !>!?!? years, then the said
William D. and Samuel Patterson
??hall be possessed of the property,
etc."
Yes, we have the proper sizes of
calling cards In the crash finish brls

NEW YORK. ? Not only will .Mono
Keeshol, the young Eskimo who Is
the solo survivor of a band brought
here by Commander Peary In 189f>,
remain in this city to study civil en
gineering, but when he completes
education he intends to head a polar
expedition himself.
"The explorers who are trying to
find the North Pole 'now don't know
how to do it. They fit out comfort
able ships and stay in a comfortable
harbor until spring and then make a
dash to see how far they can get.
When the summer is over they start
biu-k home, and write bookR and mag
azine articles.
"The North Pole will never be dis
covered in such a way. The man who
finds it will go as far as he can in
one season and make a permanent
camp there until next season. Then
j he will continue on his Journey, and
j in such way must succeed.
