-PEAK SOFTLY-WE ARE HAVING MS
DONE
The wire of yesterday says "there is
10th ng of radicalism" io the presl
lent's mes age to congress. If this la
30t intended as a joke It goes 0 show
now that radicalism, like some other
,hlngs seen too oft, is, after ? while, em
braced wi'hout knowledge of it* real
quality.
A law making arbitra'iou compul
sory in labor disputes, a law inaugurat
ing a systam of postal savings banks,
direct lega' r*cognoition of the right of
workn en to trike but placing the baa
equally at the ssme time on the boy
cot', abolishment in all the states by
federal enactment of child labor, an
employer's liability law? m nt of these
things would, a few years ago. ha#e
been rated as positively radical, t'er
hapa it is because the president con
sented to speak "temperately" in urg
ing upon congress renewed activity In
the hurrying through of these meas
ures of such vast moment rather than
Insisting upon them with oaths that tbe
correspondent interprets it to be with
out taint of radicalism.
But let co man suppose that the lone
of this writing indicates that the Al
a-kan is not in sympathy with the pres
ident's urgent mood. No, it simply is a
smile at the ingenuous seeming of tbe
despatch. The fact is the Alaskan is
ttcxled to death with each and every
one of these recommendations? and it
wouldn't m nd if the president had
"swore"' a bit if it were necessary to
get them through. But it is also
pleased that the president was temper
ate. bemuse it seems this Is the surer
way to gat the thing done? and to get
it done, is th-) end in view rather than
to startle the ountry.
These are things that nearly every
bo iy wants done, and what if there is a
little Ceiserism In the method? The
Alaskan does not stand io that deadly
fear of Oaserism that is voiced so often
in spo's through ut the land. The re
verse of Ceas-rsm is the deadly peril ?
the dry rot that keeps us waiting upon
reform until we are at last compelled
to pass up the realization of our hopes
and desires to ih<j enjoyment of the
next generation. To HAVE THINGS
DOXIS is the thing desired. Ceaserism
will never work in this country. When
a Cesser sha 1 be found ? as mayhap he
will son a day? in the presidential
chair, the Americas people will not
kill him but. i i ke Delilah, they will go
to tho polls and simply take his scalp.
DENTED HIS WIFE'S REPUTATION
The fool story or ibe story of the fool
printed id last evening's Alaskan, of
bow one Carl M. Clemens beat up R. H.
Dcsb at Des oines, Iowa, the other
day because the latter bad 15 yeirs be
fore, f resented a young girl schoolmate,
who cbanceu afterwards to become the
wife of Clemens, with a gold-buckled
garter, revives one of the sayings that
went so far to add to the fame of tbat
brilliant actor Maurice Barrymore,
A fellow had used lightly the name of
a laiy in Birrymore's presence and a
friend, noting Barrymore's pallor, md
knowing with what joy Barrymore gen
erally joined in any current row, asked
wbv he had witheld his hand. "Every
blow struck in beh ilf of a woman is a
dent In her reputation" was Barry
more's reply.
Nothing was ever more true and no
truth was ever more completely exemp
lified than by this case. The incident
was forgotten by the few who knew of
It save the fool husband who, to satisfy
his jealous rage, h^s made his wife as
well as himself the laughing stock of
the world, to such degree that her
name is baadied about even in the
"boiler plate'' print of the day, and her
life spoiled. And this lool husband
will probably go on bis blithesome way
in the belief that he has done a brave J
thing. There should be apeolal punish- I
meat devised to fit Crimea line that. i
_
fclvery good citizen will register and j
prepare to vote after bit. Little inier- i
est Is being manifested in the Impend- |
ing city election just at this moment.
The signs of a contest are not many
just now but every citizen should
exercise his prerogative to cast ht-j
vote on election day. No man neglects
to vote who has a right tj vote, who
Joes not feel himself the less for
such neglect, and no man cast* his
ballot on election day who does not feel
a little better than he did just before
casting It. To cast a vote is to signify
oneself an integral part of the commu
nity, having influence in the direction
of its affairs and using it. The time to
register is limited. Do not put it off.
Register.
The spectacle of Mrs. Steunenburg
signing the petition for the commuta
tion of sentence of Harry Orchard is
one that will take precedence for good
of anv sermon that we have heard or
been told about in recent years.
SWAY'S CRY HEARD
Delegate Cale has beeu notified by
the post-nice department that a confer
ence is desired with him with a view of
organizing a more complete and satis
factory winter sail service for Alas
ka. The post-office department has evi
denty heard the voice of the Skagway
mass meeting.
Ia the same bresth comes notice
that the steamship campanie? have ar
ranged a schedule whereby the boats of
the several companies will no longer
conflict with each other but will be ar
ranged to give us a better service. It is
good news and shows the vast utility of
asking for wh?t you waut rather than
to c*rry about a private grievance,
S0N6
She is not fair to outward view
As many maidens be,
Her loveliness I never knew
Until she smiled at me;
Oh! then I saw her eye was bright,
A well of love, a spring of light.
But now her looks are coy and cold,
To mine they ne'er reply.
And yet I cease not to behold
The love-Ilght in her eye;
Her very frowns are fairer far.
Than smiles of other maidens are.

Purely with the intention of embar
assing tbe candidacy of John T. Spick
? t for the postmastetship and perhaps
to help the "gang" bolster up courage,
a petition was circulated yesterday
afternoon opposing tbe confirmation of
John T. Spickett. Those in charge of
the work resorted to a tricK to fool the
signers. They paraded part of Front
street with the tip thut Spickett had
leased pa:t of the new Malony building
for a postofflce site and up-town with a
talk about a pure good citizen for post
master. Just who their political angel
is they failed to s?y.
The whole matter originated
through the efforts of the owner of the
postoffice building to retain the post
