Birds Of a feather will flock to.
gether" seems TO be as true now as
at any time. The Argus and the
Leader both are very much out OF
sorts because the Journal persists in
being Republican paper. Journal.
The Journal must not take UNI
bragg at The ARGUS IL joins hands
with the Leader when it espouses the
cause OF the common people. The
Journal should no, allow its political
bias and prejudice to blind IL 10 the
extent that IL cannot give other peo-
pie credit for their honest convic-
tons. The Journal has surely not
forgotten in such short space of
time how The ARGUS stood by il
when II was making a fight for gen
Eine Tax Reform in the late prima-
ries. The ARGUS did not select the
name of any man on account of his
political'procliyities, but the name
II
was chosen because the man pro-
fessed to be in favor of Tax Reform
which would rebound TO the interest
OF the common people. If the man
whom The ARGUS picked on betray-
ed the trust reposed in him he could
not honestly expect the support of
The ARGUS when that betrayal was
made known. THE ARGUS was in
duty bound to oppose him and carry
the opposition to the extent OF de-
feating him If possible. That it did
not is no fault of The ARGUS.
1t is natural to suppose that the
Journal, in order to be ga Republi-
can paper" felt it incumbent upon
itself to forsake genuine Tax Reform
and to fall in line and support the
candidates of its party that it might
be in a position to iterate the state
ment that 1t "voted the straight Re-
publican ticket when it would be
called upon to make the declaration
or forfeit the emoluments OF a polit.
ical Office which is worth more to it
in dollars and cents than genuine
Tax Reform. If after due consid-
Grafton it arrived at this decision 1t
has no right to censure and criticise
those who preferred being on the
side of justice than victory.
Has the Journal forgo item the
wise saying of the martyred Presi-
dent, Abraham Lincoln, about fool.
ing the people ? 1t should not in
dulge too much in exultation over
the fact that it fooled the people in
the last campaign. 1t may fool some
OF them again, but 1t cannot fool
all of them. There will be enough
of them who will become educated
to the iniquities of the new tax laws
by 1906 to convince even ga Re.
publican paper" that he may "vote
1t straight" at the ensuing election,
but there will not be enough
"straights" to crown the ''Republi-
can paper" with victory. 1t will
find the "Birds of feather hockIng
together" in such numbers that it
will not have occasion to bring into
play the quotation marks to add to
its joyfulness.
The ARGUS proposes to keep up
the fight for genuine Tax Reform
and it will welcome any recruits to
its army, whatever party they may
have affiliated with heretofore. 1t
is fight for a common cause,
against injustice to the lawabiding
and honest common people. If the
Journal can extract any comfort and
profit by such opposition it is wei
come to it. 1t may find, however,
that its bombastic and vainglorious
assertion that it "voted the entire
Republican ticket" will not insure
reappointment.

To Merchant" The promise of
the Republican Bosses to "psy
your taxes for ten years IL the new
tax laws do not reduce your taxes
one third" is not legally building.
We have not consulted a lawyer to

your money to pay the increase in
taxes rather than institute a suit

To the "Old Subscriber" You
win the wager. Up to the present
time the Journal has not charged
that Adam, who dwelt in the Gar

OF the Leader. It did intimate,
during the political campaign, that
Solomon was on the staff of the
Leader. We never saw where the
Leader denied the soft impeach-
ment.

youns and vigorous contemporary,
the Leader. for the vim and ability
with which 1t deals with political
corruption and graft. 1t maybe
young in years, but the editor is
evidently old in experience In d eal-
ing with politicians. It's road may
be 'horny far the present in expos
ing and opposing the ringsters, but
Il Is right and in due course of time
will succeed.

Ofcoure that means extra cos, 10 ,ho publishers. but they have often said that itis their purpose Go make the Daily Alaskan a newspaper. and to- day the news Of first importance no, only iu Skagwsy, but all over the world, is that oi the conflict that is now being wsged between Russiaand Japan for supremacy in the east. That be- ing ,bs case, Che Daily Alaskan has made arrangements to faldu It's often made promises.
 ubEith pot a little pleasure that it can be announced that the evidence is not lacking Co indicate that the enter prise that has been shown iu meeting the demand of the Skagvay public for the news. in which all are so greatly interested, is fully appreciated Words Of appreciation and cougratulation are numerous For all Of these, thanks are s1tsnded. While kind words will not pay telegrsphic tolls and printers, they compensate for much of the worry and care that the making of newspaper involves. However, the Daily Alaskan is counting upon the support oi the peo- pie of Skagvay to justify it in its addi- tional efforts to serve them It does so confidently, and experience in the past has convinced the publishers that the confidence is not misplaced.
