THE HIGH SCHOOL
Iq determining to maintain a high
school in Saagway the school board is
serving the people well, and it merits
the heart) co-operation of all the citi
zens. This is an age when conditions
require that a through preparation be
added to the qualifications that are de
manded as the price of success for men
?nd women in the battle for supremacy,
and a good general education is necess
arily the ground work in any course of
training. The day when the university
man has an advantage over his unedu
cated competitor has not only come to
stay but the condition will be accent
uated as time goes on. The high school
is the stepping stone to the university.
An educationwithout a high school
oou.se is impossible.
The high school work comes natural
ly in that age of a boy or girl when he
is still under the care of his parents and
a charge upon them. There are parent*
in Skawav as elsewhere who cannot
afford to send children away to school.
And further, many of those who can
aSotd to send their children away for a
high school course might be impairing
their ability to aid them in making
their way through a university by do
ing so? for be it remembered that if
your boy is to meet the world unhandi
capped in the battle for a place of
security for him and his children, when
they shall come, he must; have from
four to eight or ten years of university
training after he shall have completed
his high-school course.
It is urged that boys and girls c?n
make better progress and receive bet
ter training at the well equipped and
thoroughly organized high school and
academies fa the large centers of popu>
lation where they have specialists as
instructors and means of observing
modern civilization at its best (and
worst) between lessons than in a little
town. All of which is very ivell, but,
after all, the first purpose of the high
school is to prepare the student for ad
mission to the university, and there he
will have his training from specialists
and his opportunities. It were better
by far that the youth of Ska>.way re
ceive its high school training at borne
under the watchful care of parents,
even if it is not so satisfactory in all re;
spects as it could be made elsewhere,
than that it be denied an opportunity at
a university.

SOMETHING lO THINK OF
Here is something to i onder over for
a moment. The advocates of "Judge"
Murine and "Judge" Mellen are vviog
with each other in their efforts to gain
the support of the "influential" corpor
ations. They are leaving not a stone
unturned. Every subterranean channel
to corporate power is being systematic
ally explored. The friends of each
candidate are doing their uttermost to
"show" that their man offers more ad
vantageous "inducements" to the corp
orations for support than does the other
candidate. They are tryinc to win the
election by pulling wires that are un
seen by the common people and by
making invisible combinations.
On the other hand, Got. Swineford
and Thomas Cal? and their supporters
are openly appealing to the people on
the strength of their platforms and their
records. They are working in sight of
all. They stand for nothing that is dark
and not understandable of the ordinary
man.
The campaigns of the "judges" are
being conducted along those lines that
have made political machines odious
throughout the country. The campaigns
of Gov. Swineford and Thomas Cale are
consistent with the popular demand for
the widest publicity in all public
matters.
Which of these methods will the
people approve ?
C.The Daily Alaskan has such confidence
in the people of Alaska that it believes
their choice will be made in such over
whelming odds for Swineford and Cale
and against the "judges" that there
will be no more attempts to carry Alas
kan elections by dark closet methods.
Cale spent three days in Skagway
and succeeded in winning the Alaskan
to his support, whether through his
eloquence or the potency of a two
column ad is not explained.? Juneau
Dispatch.
Of course the Dispatch made use of
the insinuation hoping that it might
have some political effect. It knows
that there is no foundation for it
because no one understands better than
the Dispatch and the other leaders of
public sentiment at Juneau that the
influence of the Daily Alaskan is un
purchaseable. However, the Daily
Alaskan announced its support of
[Thomas Cale, July 19? about 10
days before Mr. Cale placed an adver
tisement in its columns. That fact
destroys all the effect the Despatch
hoped to attain.
Thomas Cale comes nearer represent
ing the sentiment of Lynn canal than
any of the other candidates for the long
term. He is not a partisan. He is not
running on a platform made for the
purpose of concealing the ideas of those
who nominated him or for the purpose
of catching votes. He represents a
spontaneous sentiment of the people.'
His platform was made for the purpose
of explaining what the people who
made it desire. His caudidncy was not
arranged in some back office by a lot of
politicians or representatives of self
seeking corporations. It was oorn in
the open where honest men were seek
ing a man to represent Alaska's honest
needs.
Gov. Swineford is able, conscientious,
sound on all the issues, possesses the
requisite experience and is deserving
the best Alaska has to give. All thjse
claims are admitted by every body. The
list of qualifications is greater than
that possessed by any other candidate
for delegate. Under the circumstances
to fail to vote for him would be a fail
ure to perform a duty owing to the dis
trict, the voter and the grand old
warrior for the right himself.
In making up your plans for the
immediate future fix it so you can vote
next Tuesday. Let Skagwarv Haine
and vicinity cast a record breaker.
Every man who can should make it a
point to reach the polls.
The best way for Sk-gway to protect
herself against the proposal to take I
the terms of court away from this
place is to poll a big vote next Tuesday
and poll it for men who will not stand ,
for the ''get even" game.
Let us make it unanimous for Gov. j
Swineford next Tuesday and let Tom'
Cale be not far behind him.
Skagwav must cast a big vote next ?
Tuesday. Let us roll it up so it will j
show our full strength and size.
Vote for A. P. Swineford and a repub
lican form of government for the s'?ort
term.
