STRAW VOTE FAVORS HUGHES.
While not assuming to be an absolutely accurate test, the
taking of a straw vote in the respective states of the union to
determine public sentiment with respect to presidential candi
dates has, in the past, proved a trustworthy indication. A
New York newspaper has recently undertaken such a straw
vote, with the result that Candidate Hughes, the republican
nominee, is the favorite in 15 of the 22 states canvassed, while
President Wilson is the favorite in the remaining seven states.
In looking over the names of the states as given, in the dis
patch published on another page, it will be found that Wash
ington and Oregon are placed in the Wilson column. Anyone
at all informed as to politics knows that the state of Washing
ton will never go for Wilson, and his chances for carrying Ore
gon are hardly less remote. Governor Whitman won the pro
gressive support in the recent stute-wide primary election, and
this seems to assure republican success in New York state,
whicjh the straw vote places in the Wilson column.
From a republican standpoint, great good will come to
the party at the big get-together banquet to be held in New
York city October 3. At the festive board former Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft will meet, break bread and let bygones be
bygones. They will unite to make common cause against the
enemy.
A federal grand jury, sitting at Ruby, Alaska, in calling
attention to the laxity in the matter of punishment of those
guilty of major crimes, cites 14 murders that have been com
mitted on the trails and in the region lying between Ruby and
Anchorage and in not one instance of the 14 killings have the
guilty party or parties been brought to justice. This is a
shocking commentary on the efficiency of those officials charg
ed with preserving law and order, and especially the protec
tion of human life. As we have before had occasion to point
out, the department of justice, in its administration of matters
over which it has dominion, devotes more time and expends
more money on minor crimes than on major crimes. It pays
no attention to the well-recognized principle in law, which
holds that a violation of a mere regulation is not to be com
pared to an act that is a crime in itself. Every elementary stu
dent of judicial proceedings should know that, as the Latin
has it, “Malum in se,” a crime in itself, is to be regarded morej.
harshly than “Malum prohibitum.” a crime only because pi‘<p3
hibited. ^ '
One by one the pioneers of Alaska are crossing the last
Gieat Divide, from whence there is no return to earthly scenes.
Now comes the sad news of the passing of Denny Brogan, one
of the noble band of trail brazers and sourdoughs who have
made history in Alaska during the past score of years, Denny
Brogan was a man who did things. He was prominent and
progressive in any community in which he lived. He was
widely known throughout Alaska, in which he had lived from
the early days of the Klondike rush until the year 1907, when
he went to Oregon and made his presence felt by the promotion
of two big irrigation projects and the establishment of a town
that is called for him. Mr. Brogan was a loyal friend, an up
right citizen, a typical sourdough Alaskan. His death will be
mourned throughout Alaska by hosts of fiiends. Peace to his
ashes.
The base ball season at Anchorage, brought to an end by
the game Sunday, has been productive of good, in that it has
provided the residents of this community with wholesome,
out-door amusement. People must be amused and entertained.
Man is a sociable being and requires an opportunity to “whoop
it up” occasionally. A base ball game is an excellent thing,
in that it gives those who enjoy the sport an opportunity to
give full vent to their feelings. It is not always the noisy fel
low that most enjoys the game. The quiet, silent man may
find surcease from workaday affairs and enjoy himself im
mensely as a spectator of a battle on the diamond. We have
had many very excellent games here, and for the many pleas
ant afternoons that have been enjoyed by our people, thanks
are due the ball players and to those enterprising citizens who
made the fine ball grounds possible.
The Times is providing its patrons with a splendid tele
graph report these days. The service has been increased and
is in every respect better than the service that has been discon
tinued. There is nothing too good for the people of Anchorage,
and The Times proposes to provide the town with the best
telegraphic news service, within its limitations, that it can.
That The Times is appreciated for its efforts in giving the news
is evidenced by the constantly growing subscription list; that
Hie fcv&wKisevs appreciate it as a etesirahle medium to reach the
buying public is attested by the support in this respect; that
the people generally believe in The Times as a loyal advocate
of the town’s interests is evinced by the many words of com
mendation tendered this office.
The wires tell us that Congressman Johnson, of Washing
- ton, is en route to Anchorage. The congressman is a loyal sup
porter of Alaska in the congress and he should be given a fit
ting reception while our guest.

Congratulations! Everybody in town is getting married apparently, for
overy second person coming in our drugstore is buying wedding presents* And
they leave our store satisfied—they found what they wanted.
We have added the famous “Swan” Fountain Pen to our stock. It has a
chain attached to the top of the pen. You simply cannot lose it—And you
should have a fountain pen. It is an evidence of business efficiency. We car
ry the Waterman Ideal, Parker, Conklin, and the Swan.
When I decided to move my drug store from Juneau to Anchorage, while
the boys were packing up the stock, I ran over to Sitka. Sitka is Alaska’s
old capital, as you all know, and it has many interesting points for a visitor.
It is a very popular'trip with the tourists. Our boat had over 100 of them.
We went over to see the sights and of course visited the Alaska museum. We
were looking at some old curios, when I heard one of the fair tourists ask the
custodian if they had a drug store in Sitka. “No,” replied the lady in charge,
"we always send for our drugs to Juneau.” “That is too bad,” said the tour
ist, “I have a prescription I want filled; who would you suggest as the best
druggist in Juneau?” “Why,” answered the lady, “We always send for our
drugs to Loussac’s drug store. He is the most reliable there.” She did not
know I was there, and I am sure I never saw her before, but believe me, I
feel very proud. It is just things like that which spur you on to further ef
forts in improving your service.
We have many an article, not expensive in the least, but which added to
your home will prove a necessity. Towel racks, soap dishes, glass holders,
bath room supplies of all description, at the most reasonable prices.
Now is a good time to send a souvenir of Alaska to your friends. A book
of poems by R. Service is most appropriate, in “The Spell of the Yukon” is
embodied the spirit of Alaska in the days of ’98.
We have received a new supply of Victor records and machines at our
other store—formerly the Northern Drug Co. If you wish any special rec
ords let us know. We will get them for you.
“Libbey’s” name on cut glass is like “Gorham” on silver—it stands for
