Shall We Have Free Magazine

The answer rests solely with the
people. Several of the magazines in
which they have confidence are free
today VIII they remain free?
If the people of this country wish
to regain their largely lost liberty, or
10 keep what still remains of It; II
American business men wish to carry
on their affairs under favorable con-
ditlons and not under servitude; II
this great and prosperous nation wish
es 10 shake off the degrading yoke
Of money oligarohy--if they be-
believe with Bishop Williams and
many other leaders that free maga-
zine press is one OF the chief agencies
in the struggle that has started, and
must be finished---if they believe in
these things II is time that a popular
and protesting voice sound over the
land from Maine to California.
We want your views on this ques
ton We want them now. Do you
believe in this fight? DO yoi, think
IL worth while that the average Amerl
can citizen should have fair play In
the use of his abilities and the pursuit
OF his purposes? Do you support
that principle heartily? Actively?
II so, study the magazines you
think are best supporting this princi
pie. Give them all your support

PUTS TEETH
IN THE LAW
Restraining Bribe Giving
And Bribe Taking-Sena-
tor Tod's Bill.
BY limited Press Wire.

Columbus, March 2-The state SEN
ate late Wednesday afternoon pass
ed bill by Senator Tod of Mahoning
county which puts a few teeth In
the law relating to the punishment
of brlbe givers and bribe takers.
The bill takes away from the court
the opportunity to let a bribe giver
or a bribe taker off with a fine. II
makes a penltentiary sentence man
datory. The sentence can not exceed
ten years nor be less than one year.
The bill was passed by the senate
without any argument for the bill on
the part OF the author, every senator
in the chamber voting for 1t.
eve want to make 1t just as SER
ious an offense for man to give or
take a brlbe and thus steal from the
people as 1t Is to break into a chick
encoop at night and steal chicken.

was passed. tinf

wANTEp-A POLICY AND A MAN


The two things that Ohio most
needs i'm connection with the peni-
tentiary are an up-to-date policy and
a man with vision of public service
Colorado has both, the man with a
vision being Tom lyman. hte drum
mer warden, who has $50 convicts
under his charge. The policy is that
of working the men outdoors in farm
ing and road-building, as well as in
doors, the outdoor work being reserv
ed for the best behaved and road
work counting ten days extra off
each month. Seven hundred acres
are being farmed,and there are great
stretches of scientifically built high
ways, with more under construction.
Says Warden lyman.
10 the state will buy me 500 acres
of good farm land, | will make the
penitentiary self-sustaining, If not
actually profitable, and | am also
willing to give "a guarantee that go
per cent. of the men so employed
will not return to life of crime"
And yet the managers of the Ohio
penitentiary say that too much
money has been spent on the pres
ent site to make a change to a coun-
try site advisable They are poor
managers. indeed, If i'm their scales
the less than 100000 now spent on
the old site outweighs all the good
that may be done to individuals and
the state in the next generation by
a modern institution. Besides
Is no need to waste the 100000 n
man with a real vision would find a
way Of using or disposing Of the re-
suits of that expenditure and leading
the enterprise into satisfactory and
productive fields. 1t is bad to blum
der. But to persist in it, add to II
and perpetuate it, when the error Is
disclosed. is little short of madness

the General Electric concern, its

This magazine made a complete
exposure OF the devious activities of
the Sugar Trust. No journal ever
has given to the public n more COM
plete proof Of long series of great
crimes against the public wealth than
did Hampton's in its series Of Sug-
ar Trust articles Not only the FIN
ancial, but the political machina-
tions of the sugar barons were laid
bare.
Hampton's exposed the corrupt
dllldnNt utlWttH lilt Nlbi nun 'bulhAi
and the Sugar Trust, incidentally
uncovering the financial and political
rottenness of the Utah hierarchy.
Hampton's told the public exact
ly how the Guggenheim Smelling
Trust had throttled mining, forcing
free industry TO pay tribute to its
organization.
During "A little more than two
years Hampton's has printed articles
dealing with the railroad business I'm
this country, exposing In detail the
history OF the transfer of railroad
control from actual railroad opera
tors to Wall Street, and showing
how the people have been exploited
ciated with the names of Hunting
ton, HILL, Hartman, Vanderbilt,
Morgan and dozen others.
In this series, Hampton's showed
how the public had been exploited
by the Great Northern Railroad and
the Hill lines, the Southern Pacific
and Hartman system, the New York
Central and the Vanderbilt lines, and
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford group.
Readers of this magazine Will re-
call the articles I'm which the grab
game Of the Alaskan looters was eN-
posed-how the schemes of Morgan
and the Guggenheims to tranfer the
untold wealth of Alaska from the
ownership of the people to their own
private control were laid bare. The
service to the country and the peo-
pie in this instance added to the
enmity borne toward MS by the great
powers of Wall street.
The story might be carried on
much farther. The exposures In
Hampton's Of the evil works Of the
shoe machinery trust, the food pois-
oners, the express companies-all
have added 10 the unpopularity of the
magazine IN the realm of high fin
ance.
Our experience In politics has been
similar. The magazine has not hesi-
tated TO denounce those political
puppets Of the Money Power who
pose as Bosses Ia politics. From
Aldrich down to the most inslgnili-
cant tool OF the system. IIampton's
has earned the hatred of the politi-
cal allies of the Money Power.
In handling these big subjects II
has not been our desire. as our read
ers know to simply destroy. Our
constant effort Is 10 construct. We
have consistently insisted upon
pointing out remedies for wrongs;
we have always suggested methods TO
make these wrongs right.

TREADWELL TOPICS

Billy Burke, who was mayor of Sheep creek, has resigned, and at the election held the other day Roy Walsh was elected as his successor.
 The foundry bowling team was vic torious over the machine shop team on Friday night by total of 1SS pins. The foundry score was 2256 and the machine shop 2O6S. This gives the foundry a lead of 90 pins over it's nearest op- ponent, the assay office. Bill Taylor covered himself with glory by rolling up a score of 222 pins. The final game will be played some time next week between the foundry aud assay office teams and all the rooters are sure to be OH hand.
 Hugh McEwan, of Che Mexican mill, has been laid up for the past few days with blood poisoning in his foot He expects to return to work in few days.
 Mrs. Ed Christoe had the misfortune to slip and sprain her ankle while at the assay office dance.
 The Treadwell bowling team defeated the Mexican team by no pins.
 The Valentine dance given by the assay office and surveyors forces last night proved to be one of the best ever held in Southeastern Alaska. The boys certainly deserve great credit, for never has the Treadwell Club been dec- orated so prettily and SO appropriate for the occasion. The ceiling of the dance room was covered with strings of red cardboard hearts, with six hearts on each string, while in the center a large heart about six feet in diameter was suspended and it was pierced with cupid's arrow and was covered with tiny electric lights. The stage he'd an other large heart almost covering the front of it, and the windows on both sides of the CI0b had lace curtains i hung over them and they were also coV- cred with red hearts The supper was served iD the gallery on little tables which seated two persons, the tables being draped with Japanese table covers also covered with hearts, while the refreshments, which were donated , by Steward Ferris, were cakes also made in the shape of hearts and GOV cred with red icing. Supper was served by about dozen young ladies of the Island. The buEett was presided over by George Stephens and Will Prentice, who served out claret punch and lem onade to the thirsty. The music fur nished by the Treadwell orchestra of five pieces was first class. There was a large crowd over from Juneau and a late ferry was provided to take them home.
 The Treadwell fire department has received invitations from the Juneau fire department to a dance to be given in Juneau on Friday night. The ticket enclosed with the invitation entities the holder to admission to the dance. No doubt large crowd will go over and help the fire boys enjoy themselves.
