OUNCE or PREVENTION
 WORTH TON or CURE

skagway has been very fortunate in never having had a disastrous fire. Buildings have burned lD the past, but no conflngratious have re suited, such as huve visited nearly every other sIty in Alaska There is reason for this beyond mere chance. Chance never protected us an these years.
 The fact Is that it Is owiuu to the vigilance of the fire department that we have been protected There is no getting around that Each season che inspector visits every home and business house iH Che city. stoves. furnaces, ranges, rlues and stovepipos, rubbish piles and storeroo.ns are looked into for a possible danger from fire. The fire equipment Is kept up and the members are called together for regular meetings
 or course it is more spectacular for the men to get out and run Co a fire and put it out after a building is half burned, than it i7 Co order defective flues repaired u is after fighting a fire that the public congratuIatos the fircmon on their good work, it iB then that they are invited in to have feed or a social touch O so'thiu But we wish Co say that the firemen who keep fires from starting arc a thousand times more efficient than the ones who squirt heroic water on buildings that are burn. ing through neglect Of proper fore. sight Therefore we want to con. gratulate the firemen Of Skagway right now. for their prevention ol fires. An ounce Of prevention is worth a ton of cure.
 The best way To express our ap. preciation of the fire company is to attend their dance They only give one dance a year and every citizen Of the city ought Co buy a ticket Throw a dollar into their treasury. that dollar may s5Nc your home some day. or Che lives and -nrnnrrtr nr others.

 DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT

Last evenings Daily Miner con tained a notice from the Masonic Lodge. stating that there was to be a meeting of that order at 9:@o, and at that hour the devotees Of the shrine Of Masonry gathered Co confer the first degree upon a novi- uate from Fort Seward. The Geor- gia was to arrive at that time. but the Georgia did not arrive, SO the Masons waited. Midnight came and no Georgia. and then 1t was decided to disband
 Just before the coming of the pale dawn Of morning, the boat whistIed in, bringing five men from the fort including the candidate, Surgeon c. E. McBrayer, who was accompanied by Capt Wm. Brook. End Lieut.. Basil D. Edwards, Q NJ. Sergt. l.. W. Beardslee and Sergt c. w. Ames as guard to keep him in bounds
 It was then that some hustling had to be resorted to In order to confer the degree before the re- turn of the boat. Lodge members were pulled from their sleepy couch es and hauled before the holy al- tar of Masonry, and Surgeon Me Brayer was made a Mason in due form. The gentlemen returned to their posts at eight o'clock.

GETTING REALLY NON-PARTISAN.

The anti Tammany fight in New York is develop
ing some substantial evidences of really Nom
partisan character Republicans and Democrats have
united against the machine in most unusual fashion
The fusion nominee for mayor is President Will
sons collector of the port of New York, John p.
|Mitchel
Mr. Mitchell took the place vacated by the retire.
'nent of William Loeb, Republican.
Now there is serious report that Republican COL
lector Loeb will become chairman of the campaign
committee handling the campaign in behalf Of Demo-
cratic Collector Mitchell
President Wilson is so anxious to defeat the great
Democratic machine of the metropolis that he has
Z agreed that Collector Mitchell need not resign his
ederal Office pending the election unless he wishes.
He will probably make no such move his retention of
The Office being the surest way to make plain that the
National Administration is strictly anti Tammany.
If such demonstration of non-partisanship and
real patriotism cannot turn Tammany out, it may be
presumed that Tammany is kept in because it is the
sort of thing New York likes.

WHEN THE CAUCUS RULES.

Democratic member of the House Of Repre-
sentaves took occasion to berate his fellows of that
party for their persistent failure to attend the ses
sions during the very important period when the
currency legislation is under consideration. He
pointed out that not to exceed one-d of the voting
force of the majority was commonly to be mustered
and insisted that legislators paid, and rather
we'll paid, for their time they ought to attend to bus
ness.
1t needs hardly be pointed out that absenteeism is
of the evils certain to follow he rigid caucus rule
that has been made the Democratic program Why
should men attend sessions in order to repeat the
performance of the caucus? What is the use hav-
ing opinions individuality If it is perfectly certain
that no impression can be made? The wisdom of
Plato and the eloquence Of Demosthenes might to-
gether be turned loose the House. and under pres
en conditions they would have absolutely no effect
the dictum would be carried into effect with
out question or inquiry
When the old Republican machine imposed caucus
rule upon the House. The Times was untrinp in pro.
test. Now that the boot is on the other leg; now
that the Democrats are offending in this regard just
as seriously as the Republicans formerly did, this
newspaper shall continue to protest The public is
awakening to understand what it is all about
Caucus rule of this kind is the beginnin. of the
decadence of representative government. If Con-
gress goes on few decades more in this manner it
will have abdicated any real part in the management
of the nation.

.PITILEsS PUBLICITY" AGAIN.

Nothing is more pitiless than publicity, as the new
administrators of Government affairs have been find
hg out They started with promise that there were
Ding to be no secrets; the Government was the peo-
les Government therefore, the Governments busi-
ess the peoples business; no need to have any
ecrets at ALL
Sounds extremely well, but gentlemen who have
sd experience in managing business, government,
corporate private, know that it just simply will not
york all the time. The Treasury Department has had
put the lid on, and now the Navy authorities are
baking the strict rule that employees and officials
must not peddle department business about.
Probably these recessions from the rule of COM
Plete publicity do not mean that there is going to be
kny particular change from former methods in this
egard. They indicate that some real experience has
proved that the theory of constant and absolute pub
|iciy is inconsistent with getting business done.

A REMARKABLE DECISION.

The Massachusetts Supreme Court has rendered a
emarkabe decision as to the liability of an employer
Who keeps drunkard in his service. In the case at
par, firm employed one Mccarthy, who was in the
habit of getting drunk, and whe in that condition
was quarrelsome. While drunk on duty Mccarthy
killed fellow-employe, McNicol.
The dead mans widow sued the firm, and it is
bow held that the firm is responsible to her, because
kept drunken and dangerous person in its EN-.
bloy, resulting in McNicols death and his widows
oss of his services and support. :
The decision is likely to 1rove more incentive
c ebriey. Employers will have less disposition thar
Eser to risk employees who drink too much, Giving
man chance" by keeping him at work despite bad
sabits, will become doubly dangerous and expen-
kive affair now.

OUR GREAT FOREIGN TRADE.

The huge foreign trade of the United States has
rot slackened, it has gained, even while the tariff
treasure has been crawling its way through Congress

as to their plans for the future.
Ii is shown by the Department of Commerce Gg-
ures that for the months ending with July the
imports and exports taken together were 81 346 IA

Z73,l37, with a trade balance in our favor for the
seven months of S3O8, ,401 ,662.
This balance, however is unquestionably arti-
fetal. The millions and millions of imports which
are now held in bond waiting for the new tariff act
90 into effect to get the benefit of lower duty
'rayments, would have made very material differ
in the balance 1t is not worth while to try to
estimate accurately what that difference would have
been for if there are SIPS 100000 or so of imports
waiting at gates flood in when the tariff doors
are opened it does not follow that they would have
been there in that same volume if there had been no
expectation of the new tariff rates.
Whether so per cent or rs per cent or 80 per
cent of the imports now waiting at our gates would
already have come in except for this waiting upon
the new tariff, no man can say. But thing is per-
fecty obvious 1t is that the tariff does 60
