DOUBLE CROSSING
A number of editors, many poli
ticians, and others have tried for
several years to “hang something ’
on William L. Paul in order that he
mignt be eliminated from the poli
tical field. They have failed to d •
sc and have just about given up
wPa the exception of one or two
bra^’ng jackasses who haven’t the
seese to realize that they themselves
ar> doublecrossing the public by mis
representing falsifying and deliber
ate ' making common liars of them
sek. es.
William L. Paul will compare his
record, morally, mentally, physical
lv t olitically or any other way witn
ar.y of the character assassins in the
Tf-r:itory. It can be in print or
from the public platform and The
AT ASKAN will venture to say tha<
as a “double-crosser” William L
P il has been a total failure inas
me n as such dealings are beneath
hio character. As to the little
me^krakers, political skunks o
what you might call ’em, they would
ruv before the odors of their own
chi anery and political machina
tio ,s were made public.
Bring on the double crossing. The
ALASKAN will give every oppor
tunity to anyone who will bring
proof that William L. Paul has e’
er betrayed his constituency and
don, le crossed them.
EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW
Was arrested in Tacoma recently,
Deane Kenworthy, 22, scion of one
of Tacoma’s prominent families. Hi
wall sentenced to ten days in jail
and a. fine of $100 for driving while
Intoxicated. He also confessed to
the charge of being a hit-and-run
driver for which a suspended sen
wns sentenced to ten days in jail
tence of one to five years was giv
en.
Why stipend the sentence—un
der the law a crime is a crime re
gardless of by whom it was violated.
The question now asked is Would
Kenwcrthy have received a suspend
ed sentence were he the son of a less
“prominent” family?
CONTEMPTIBLE CRUELTY
-o
It has been reported in this officr
that several boys have been getting
pleasure out of applying burning
matches to the nethermost parts o1
ca;s about town. One instance nof
ed. the cat was in such condition
that the owners had to ask neigh
bors to kill the animal.
Such cruelty is beyond descrip
tion and unbelievable but it is a
fr cf. That they are boys is not an
excuse and should not be overlook
ed m»i condoned. That anyone should
abuae helpless animals, dogs, cats
or anything e'se, is not to be tolerat
ed it any time. Unrestricted ac
tions and urcurbed, may lead to such
as William Hickman, who paid
the extreme penalty for brutal mur
der r,f little Mariam Parker. The
time to call a halt is before the psy
chology o fit has griped the young
mind.
SELF DETERMINATION
Perhaps the worst form of undue
Influence which always crops oui
at campaign times is false propo
ganda. This kind of political per
sti i^ioi. is subtle and cunning. The
voter finds himself seperating the
wheat from the chaff and it is no
easy task. But everyone is sup
posed to have a set of brains and
v. itb them they should do their own
thinking and not be driven like a
bunch of sheep.
When the right of the voter to
jhe his ballot free from force either
of personal Influence or false state
ments shall be Imperilled the foun
dations of free government are shak
pn. So let u«i have our stump speech
e3 and button-hole arguments, and
so on, but let us guard and protec:

DEMOCRATS APPEAL, TO THE
POLITICALLY DISINHERITED
ID “The («■ ntleman at the Keyhole"
la Collier’s Weekly.
Another amazing thing in this
election is the restlessness of the
Negro voters. Governor Smith
m ikes his appeal to the politicals
disinherited, to those who may nev
er expect to rise high in public op
inion because of racial or religiom
disabilities. To this appeal the Ne
groes are responding. According t >
common report many Negroes will
thiv year vote Democratic for the
first time in their lives.

POLITICAL STRAWS
-o
Reports from Seattle indicate that
D;.n Sutherland will win the election
No i'mber 6th with hands down.
0forge Grigsby will have had the
pier*sure of touring the country try
ing to garner in votes. The inform
ation being spread rather heavily in
Seattle is that the entire ticket in
the First will have a walk away, j
Scarcity of funds makes lack of
workers and the canners are not
putting up much money and there
bj keeping more or less out of pol
itics. The scare caused by the in
dictment of Thomas A. Marquam is
saio ic have been one of the causes
oi *he lack of interest in this elec
ti l. It is said to be one of the
n letest elections ever held—pre
election and the “propoganda or
gc us” are unusually quiet—except
one or two that were never credit
ed with an brains but controlled bj
ed with much brains. ’Tis said that
empty cans make most noise and as
th^y are making all the noise they
m .st be empty cans. At least there
Is plenty evidence of a considerable
amount of vacuity where brains
should be.
THE ALL BURNING ISSUE
George Grigsby, in his own tele
graphic reports of his campaign and
reception, says that the big issue is
repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry law. '
Repeal of which legislation will
m* an many dollars to the laborer,1
:o the storekeeper and to the Terri
:ory in general. Sure, why not re
seal the Volstead Act, the laws 1
vhlch are obnoxious to violators of J1
ne .dw and what not. But then, <
rou can’t blame George a-tall.
A PERTINENT QUESTION FOR
GRIGSBY TO ANSWER
vVhen the Jones Marine Act was
passed by Congress, “excepting Alas
ka ’ from the shipping benefits grant
ed other sections of the Country,
G-.'.rge was in California. With this
defection from his duty in mind
if el- cted, where will he be when
other impoi tant matters come up.
ueorge talks of the evils of “on.
mtn control” over the Alaska flsh
er'e*—has anyone heard, in this
campaign where he stands on the
TJ.AP QUESTION?
rie talked in favor of the passage
of the Controller Bill when he was
joining the United Sons of Alaska
but he damned Sutherland for work
ing tor the election of legislators
wh< T\ould pass such a measure. If
sincere in supporting this measure
before the Sons of Alaska is he sin
cere in not out and out supporting
th proposition before the other di
visions.

TSN'T IT THE TRUTH
When business men of the small
tc»vn fully understands that advertis
ing is an investment and not a dona
[ti< j to the printer or publisher, then
[wiii he become a great factor in J
holding his trade and attracting:
♦rr de to his town. Just how much ■
value an advertiser gets out of ht3 j
us of space depends largely upon
what he puts into that space in th *!
way of thought and attention to the '
things that appeal to the buying pub
lic One of the odd things to the
published of a newspaper—and one
of roe unfair things—is that those
who *’onsider advertising a donation
never charge the expense to dona
tions but always charge it to adver
tising.— W'ndsor (Colo.) Poudre
