THE PERSONNEL OF THE TICKET
Four of the candidates of the Citizens
ticket. Mayor Howard Ashley, Herb
Taylor, H. C. Bowman and John
Grashel, have served on the present
council and have earned the confidence
of the voters of the town. The present
council has given Skagway the most
economical administration in its
history and have conducted the affairs
of the town in a progressive and
business like manuer. These menjhave
fully J redeemed the pledgea they made
in the last campaign and on the prin
cipal that '"one good term deserves
another" they should be returned to
office, for certainly the voters and tax
payers of Skagway will have no com
plaint if the coming council proves as
effecient as the council now in office.
E. J. Shaw, James A. Nettles and
H. B. Flaharty are the three new
candidates on the ticket. Both Messrs.
Shaw and Nettles have served on other
councils and both men have admirable
records in public and private life. Mr.
Shaw was defeated by one vote last
year, after a continuous attack of mis
representation and scurrilous abuse
bad been centered on him by the
opposition. He took his defeat with
out one word of complaint or condem
nation and it speaks well for the
esteem with which he is held by his
friends and political workers that he
was again unanimously named as a
candidate.
Mr. Nettles is one of the oldest
residents of Skagway and probably
there is not a man in town who has
mure friends. If he has ever done a
mean or dishonest act he has been
mighty successful in covering up his
tracks. The voters will make no mis
take in electing Jim Nettle*.
Harry Flaharty comes last but not
least. He has not a single enemy in
Skagway and those who know him
best are the ones who feel most certain
that he will make one of fairest and
squarest councilmen that Skagway
ADVERTISING
POLITICAL AND OTHERWISE.
By imputation and directly certain
candidates on the Tax Payer* ticket
are trying to make capital out . of the
fact that The Alaskan charges ten
cents a line for the election matter
which it prints for them. The Alaskan
considers this course consistent and
justifiable and we wish to explain
exactly why.
All paper* are dependent upon ad
vertising for existence. A newspaper
sells advertising exactly as a druggist
sells drugs, or a hardware merchant
hardware, to bring the .example close
to home. The matter which the Tax
Payers candidates have brought to
The Alaskan is not news it any sense
of the word, but advertising ?political
advertising, yet advertising pure and
simple. By what course of reasoning
should The Alaskan be asked to print
this matter free of charge, least of all
for political opponents, men who are
seeking to discredit The Alaskan in
every way ? Newspapers fn every
part of the world print polical matter
at regular advertising rates and in
asking and receiving pay for publish
ing this matter The Alaskan is simply
selling its wares.
The editorial columns of The Alaskan
are cot for sale, although an attempt
was made before the present campaign
opened to purchase the neutrality of
this paper by a promise of certain
patronage. This offer was refused, but
The Alaskan offered to print all and
any political advertising at the regular
rates. This certainly is a fair stand to
take, butla distorted construction [has
been placed on this by certain candi
dates who are trying to thus gain
sympathy for theraselvss.
We merely state the simple facts of
the case to justify Our policy and to
show the falseness of the aspersions
that have been made concerning this
course of conduct.
THEY WERE GIVEN TIME.
When in response to a petition sign*
ed by more than 125 citizens of Skag
way the present council decided to
1 suppress the "row" on Seventh ave
I nue these women were granted am
I pie time to seek another more remote
land secluded location, where they
would not be obnoxious to the resi
dents of Skagway.
| At the meeting of the council June
I >1 the chief of police was ordered to
I close the disorderly houses on Sev
| enth avenue August lo. Fhe p ea
! was made then that this would work
a hardship upon these women, and
at the meeting of the council in July
this time was extended until 11 I
i At this first meeting of the coun
cil Mr. Tanner introduced a resolutioaj
Which is on the minutes of the coun- 1
cil as follows:
"Moved by Mr. Tanner that the
prostitutes be notified by the Chief
of Police to close down entirely with
in the corporate limits of the Town
of Skagway. I
"A general discussion followed and
as the balance of the council was in
favor only of removing them from,
their present location, Mr. Tanner* j
motion was not seconded.' ;
When the time limit allowed by
the council had expired the women of
Seventh avenue, acting upon the ad
vice of certain parties who had pecun
iary interests in having the restricted
district maintained on Seventh ave
nue. made no move to secure another
location more remote from the main
of t,.?i
tbra very property ordered Ibe Chiet
0, police to enforce the closing order.
This was done and since then be%
1 tnth avenue has been free from this
vice. ?
I secretary"?- L- Mil^T the school
1 board on March 21 made a report to
i the council advising a reduction i o
! salaries for the present year M
L,? amount to $U00. Other reduc
tions were recommended that would
make the total reduction for the com
ing year at least $1300. Now. how
ever, the Tax Payers party are favor
ing the same thing and making it an
??issue" in the campaign. Who is
entitled to the credit for this propos
ed saving? |
Skagway has never had such an!
j economical administration as it has (
been given by the present council,
performance counts for more tlw j
promise. Give the Citizens party an
other year in power- I
Vote the straight Citizens ticket.

Cures that last are cures that tell.
To thoroughly know the virtues of a
medicine you must investigate the
cures and see if they prove perma
nent Doan's Kidney Pills stand this
test, and plenty of proof exists right
here in this locality. People who test
ifled years ago to relief from backache
kidney and urtnary disorders, now de
clare that relief was permanent and
the cure perfect. Can any Alaskan
sufferer longer doubt the evidence?
J. Prenatt, 311 Third Ave., N., Se
attle, Wash., says: "The relief I re
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
of the remedy at that time. For two
years I 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 a symp
tom of my former trouble remaining.
I advise anyone afflicted with kidney
complaint to give Doan's Kidney Pills
a trial."
