Mcdonald VS..

MCDONALD COMES FROM THE
PEOPLE-SHAFRoT FROM
THE POLITICIANS.

'''1 - iSiSNlNSs
Jesse Mcdonald has spent his life
among the men who toll with their
hands His character and his hon
! esty OF purpose are as rugged as the
! hills from whence he came. He be-
longs to that great, conservative.
level-headed element of our people
which does the ruling and the real gov
erning in this country. They listen

"Honestiohn' Not of the People
John Shafroth. or "Honestjohn. as
he is known. has lived his life in an
atmosphere far removed from the men
who earn their bread by the sweat OF
their faces. He feels kindly toward
them; he would not Intentionally do
them wrong, but he cannot understand
them as Jesse Mcdonald does.
Mr.. Shafroth is lawyer. 1t is his
duty to defend those who are wrong
or who have a weak case as well as
those who are right and have strong
cases before the court. 1t is his duty
to save his client, to use his kuowl-
edge of the tricks of the law and his
ingenuity as a lawyer in pleading his
clients cause to make up for the lack

of strength of his case. He has speut
much of his life in an effort to make
juries believe things which the law
yer on the other side told them was
not so. To a certain extent he has
lived in an atmosphere of bluff. blus-
ter and make. believe"
However honest his intentions, a
man of this training is apt to feel,
unconsciously, perhaps, that he can
fool the people in the same way.
McDonad's Sincerity SeIf-Evident.
Jesse Mcdonald is not this sort of
a man. Shafroth lacks the sincerity
in dealing with the public that is so
self-evident in Mcdonald.
In politics Mr.. Shafroth can say one
thing and mean another, but this is
impossible with Mcdonald.
For instance, Shafroth is both by
word and by silence doing his utmost
to make the people in Colorado be-
lieve the Democratic party will apply
a protective tariff to beet sugar when
he knows positively that the Demo
cratic minority in the National Con
gress demanded free sugar, that Mr..
Bryan has stood for free sugar and
that the Democratic platform said.
We denounce protectionism as a rob
berry of the many to protect the few"
Mr.. Shafroth believes this is honest:
Mr.. Mcdonald believes it is dishonest
That is the difference.
Stands on His Merits.
Mr.. Shafroth undertakes to win the
votes of the people by the use of DO.
litical license" by trying to make
them believe things that are not So
Jesse Mcdonald means exactly what
he says and makes no demagoglc ap-
peal for any mans vote, nor does
he bend the knee to men of wealth
and influence, He simply stands upon
his merits as a man and a citizen.
The people of Colorado have tried
Mr.. Shafroth and they do not like
him. They defeated him four years
ago when he ran against Mr.. Brooks
for Congress. The people have tried
Jesse F. Mcdonald and they like him,
These are some of the differences
between Jesse Mcdonald and John
Shafroth at the present time; but tho
most striking difference after Novem-
Der 3rd will be that Jesse Mcdonald
will be Governor and John Shafroth
will not.

Bryan Ignores
Union Labor

Despite VIM. ]. Bryan's professed
love for union labor, a collection of
his books shows that when he had any
printing to be done he patronized non
union shops. And what is worse the
union label is absent from the Com
moner.
Union printers have called attention
to this matter and much amusement
has been caused by this discovery. 1t
takes the edge off his affectionate %
attitude toward labor.

Shafroth
on Sugar
"Honestjohn" is Not Honest Enough to
Tell His Audiences the Facts.

The one issue which "Honestjohn"
Shafroth has taken up in this cam
paiSn is beet sugar. He is running for
governor, not for Congress. but he does
not say anything about state affairs,
nor tell how he will run the state
house If he gets in. He tells his audi
cnces that Mr. Taft wants to ruin the
sugar industry.
Mr. Shafroth is disingenuous, to say
the least. AS reported in the Denver
News. he said the other evening that
the Philippine Islands contain any
quantity Of the finest sugar land in the
"orld; that labor can be hired for
$3.50 month, and that "it would not
be long" if Philippine sugar were ad-
mitted free, before the sugar industry
If Colorado would be ruined.
Last year we imported about 12.5OO
tons Of sugar from the Philippines.
The daily consumption of this coun-
try is about 10000 tons.
For six years past, the importation
from the Philippines has averaged
about 10000 tons per year-about two
days supply.
Last year We imported from foreign
countries 2,195,SO0 tons of sugar
more than 100 times as much as from
the Philippines.
Last year we imported from Hawaii
about All .OCO tons, and from Porto
Rico 203 900 tons, altogether more than
thirty times as much as from the Phil
ippines. This came in free of duty.
Now If the sugar industry grew to
its present proportions-more than
doubling in half dozen years last
past-while we are importing free 6OO,-
600 tons from Hawaii and Porto Rico.
is the industry going to be ruined by
importing free 10000 tons from the
Philippines. or 10000, or even 100000
tons, which is the extreme limit the
Republicans are willing to allow?
In the light of the facts and figures,
Mr.. Shafroths statement is simply ri
diculous.
But now what do the Democrats pro.
pose?
All of them but Mr.. Shafroth pro-
pose to let all the foreign sugar in free
not only the little 10000 tons from
the Philippines, but the 1000 900 tons
from Europe.
Mr.. Shafroth says that sugar is not
a trust-made article. within the defini.
tion given in the Democratic platform.
because the trust does not control so
per cent of the output; and so, he says.
the Democrats would not take of the
duty. But so far as is known he stands
absolutely alone in this position. No
other Democratic speaker or writer, so
far as appears, has yet made the dis
covery that the sugar trust is not
really trust, within tho meaning of
the Denver platform"
Pray, if the sugar trust is not real
trust, what is?
Mr.. Bryan is telling the people that
1t is a trust.
Mr.. Shafroth has been stumping the
state for weeks. and has talked moth
ing but sugar, and he has not yet ex-
planned. and he cannot explain, how,
If the importation free of GOO, 900 tons
per year from Hawaii and Porto Rico
has not injured the sugar industry here
one cents worth, the importation of
100000 tons-about half as much-can
possibly ruin it.
And everybody knows he is not |
speaking for the Democratic party |
when he claims that sugar is not a |

SElGWAYS OPPORTUNITY IS POINTED
 OUT BY A MAN WHO KNOWS

The lecture last night at the hall Of the Arctic Brotherhood by Mir. c, L, Andrews, formerly deputy collector Of customs at this port ard now of Eagle, made a story that all skasway should have heard, presented facts which fl no, new to residents here at least calls timely attention to them and gives spur to the spirit of enterprise which Is so disposed to take advantage Of the ustur- al attractions of location aud surround ing with which SkagwsY Is so favored. Tn speaker ran his eye, so to speak, over the immediate vicinity of this city and pointed out how there are physical wonders within radius of few miles of Ssagway Of a character that have made Switzerland aud Norway famous. The fords Of Southeastern Alaska are greater, said the spe .ker than are those which have figured so largely in the story of Norway, and the living gla- ctera ofthe coas,, some of then in the immediate vicinity of Skagway, are greater far than those Of which SwItz- erIanl boasts and which yearly call to her mountains so many thousands of travellers. The moun,aius Of the coast are also higher aud more imposing than those Of Switzerland.
 That which adds so much to the at fractions O Switzerland, her Alpine vil- lages and picturesque people, are not her, to be sure but in their place are the equally interesting natives with their peculiar rites, customs and relig- ion aud a greater variety of wild animal ] fs aod, besides, the peculiar seose of nearness O nature that so appeals to the wis to-
 The speaker dwelt upon the necessity Of protecting our wild animals from the wauton destruction of the man with the gun tha, they might the longer remain for the enjoyment of the man with the camera and Of the s,uasnt.
 Itts for SSagway to take advantage Of her peculiarly fortunate situation with regard to these natural attractions. Skagway lies in the direct path of all the summer travel to and from the in- terior. For the eycursloniss it is the end of a long sea voyage where the pas sengers come ashore after several days Of confinement aboard ship. They are ID the humor, upon reaching here to stretch their legs" They only need a proper invitation to irduce them to stay here a while. Besides it Is here they expect to Gud the thing they have come so far iu search oi-the climax of the wonders they have seen passing in review. To the average summer ex- curslonist Sksgway represents the further extremity of Alaska, the near part Of which they enter at Ketchikan.
 It is for Skagway to avail herself, and take full advantage of that monopoly which she has by right of location, of ALL the summer travel.

COMMISSIONS SIDE OF
STAR CHAMBER DISCUSSION

I'm view of the many misstatement'
being made in the press regarding tht
Peacock and Weston licenses. 1 thinl
that it would be best to make public
statement of the matter" said Chair
man c. G. Ballentyne of the Board Of
License Commissioners yesterday, ask.
ing a representative of the Advertiser
to remain after the board had gone
into executive session. The other mem.
bers of the board agreeing, genera
statement was made, practically every
one of the commissioners taking a
part in putting the board right for
the public knowledge. The various
statements may be summarized as fol-
lows:
The story published in the Bulletin
yesterday is wrong in toto, the article
stating that Peacock's license had been
refused, the vote reconsidered and the
license then granted, Chairman Ballen-
tyne calling his fellow commissioners
kids" for changing their minds. The
facts are that there was only one vote
taken on the application. as has al
ready been stated in the Advertiser.
That vote stood four to one. A j.
Campbell being the only one voting
against the renewal. There was no
turn-down, therefore no reconsidera-
ton and no occasion to call names.
In regard to the refusal to renew
"Scotty's" license, it was stated that
he had been given numerous chances
to change his manner of running his
place and get within the defined lines
of the law. The license inspector had
called on him and suggested changes;
various commissioners had gone to him
personally and warned him that he
was not living up to the spirit of his
license and told him what to do, and
w. c. Peacock had gone to him, at
the request of some of the commission
ers, and told him of the requirements
of his license and pointed out where
these were being violated. Both Mr..
and Mrs Weston had been before the
commissioners frequently and should
know why the license was now refused.
The fact that there has been no appli-
cation on the part of the licensee for
a rehearing of his case determines in
the opinion of the commissioners the
fact that he knows he had violated the
terms of his license and is not entitled
to its renewal.
In regard to the holding of executive
sessions. the commissioners state that
in that way alone is it possible to carry
out the intention of the law. In the
granting of liquor licenses the COM
missioners have to consider many
things and a full and free discussion
could not be had if the meetings were
all open to the public. The discussion
of mans character, for instance,
should not be public and such discus
sions and expressions of opinion should
