We notice that in most of the cities of Alaska they use the eau GUS or mass meeting system of Plac- ing in nomination members for the municipal offices, and as many men are placed in nomination as their friends. or they themselves desire Then a committee is nominated to receive decllnations, in case anyone should not care to make the con test for election. Those who are left are placed on the ballot and the electors take their choice.
 In this country where party lines are not strictly drawn, we believe that is the most democratic way of choosing city officers. It does away with the usual jealousies and per sonauues and bitterness that always accompany the contests between Citizens" and Peoples" and Taxpayers " and Scrubs" and
 Bull head" tickets.
 Skagway has no time to spend in fighting among it's citizens. The better way would be to put all can dldatcs on one ticket and then com plelely and eyerlastingly knife all candidates who in the past have used their votes to get even with someone. In such a contest the voters often lose sight of the real benefits to be gained, because they waal to vote against someone who aas sassed their kids, or who eats with a knife. or who is fighter, or who is a good fellow, or who is most anything but a man qualified to perform the duties of alderman
 There is nothing in the name Citizen" CT the name Taxpayer that means anything to the voter It is usually a catch to round up votes for some faction. The bet ter way in small communities is the old mass meeting style, with all candidates on the one ticket and then let the voters choose uninflu- cnced by passion or revenge or jealousy.

The action of the U. s. steel Corporation in readjusting wages, especially those of surface men, an example followed by the other lead ing iron mining interests, natural Iy caused much pleasure among the workers. The adoption of the new scale was entirely voluntary, no de- mands having been made says the Mining and Engineering World. It is doubtful if the mine workers any where are accorded better treat ment than in the Lake Superior country, and the conditions under which they work also are possibly more favorable. The principal con- parles are doing everything pOssi- ble to prevent casualties. Since the S-hour day was introduced in vari- ous distriCts-the Marquette range among these-the men affected have been better satisfied than ever before. The better class of miners are receiving as large cheeks as they ever did, and underground men with little or no experience also are paid well. In past years con tract miners and trammers would receive Oniy what they earned un- der the terms of their agreements, while under the present system min CTS who are unfortunate are guar anteed a minimum wage rate

When one of the Alaska daily newspapers grapevines a story and puts a current date on 1t, some of the readers sheer and say they read that three or four days ago. Thirteen months ago a report was published of the gold output of the Yukon, and a few days ago the New York Times reprinted it as something that happened but yes terday; yet some will claim that New York has better newspapers than Alaska.

PARCEL POST AND OUR AIER.
CHANT

One of our neighboring editors, in
whom we have the utmost confidence
has made very thorough investlga-
ton OF the effect OF the new parcel
post on our home merchants. In an
swer to our question, 'Will the new
law hurt the home merchants" he
saysi
"While the plan was under con-
sideration in Congress 1t had to meet

really ought to be of service to him.
THO bargain rate of the whole sys-
tenn is the rate between the rural de-
livery center and all points on the
outlying routes. The rural routes
get the local rate. That is to say, a
package will be taken TO any point
on a rural route for the same rate
paid for the delivery of packages
within the town limits, This local
rate IS five cents a pound for the first
pound, and one cent pound fol
the other ten. An eleven pound

ANARCHISTS AND CRANKs

The CHASTITY death roll of assassi-
mated rulers, published in cnnection
with the killing of King George of
Greece, ought to be read with NOR
han a personal interest by the mar
who sits in the White House.
To king or president, the shack
les of official restraint. must weigh
heavily. From Haroun Al Raschid
down, monarchs have enjoyed in
.ognito mingling with the people,
probably they have done it more than
n ost people realize, Elbowing ons
the sidewalk with Tom, Dick and
Harry, they feel like the school boy
on a vacation,
fhe hysteria Of modern life bids
far to end all this kind of play fer
che great men of the earth.
The danger to the president of the
United States is not so much from
long haired anarchists, their heads
stuffed with dream philosophers, as
from PLAIN, everyday fools. Tie
shuffling, shambliny down and-out Of
the cuFbstone, who apparently wants
nothing better than to swipe a
square meal from your refrigerator,
may be just the man who carries the
gun that may upset business and
statecraft by a successful assassna
ton.
The higher speed of labor and bust
ness, the growth of enfeebling vices,
is filling the insane asylums. With
/ cons derable proportion of these
nfortunates, the mania is homicidal.
Any such who in more normal days
we're interested in politics, are first
impelled to right popular wrongs by
killing a Roosevelt or a Mckinley.
Violent newspapers who paint oppos-
ing POLITICIANS as traitors, are the
fuel from which these reptile deeds
may spring.
President Wilson has given signs
feeling the constraint of armed
guards. Let him not yield to such
sentiments. Under present condi-
tions, it is ordinary business horse
sense for the president to have stiff
secret service protection all the time.

REGuLAR NEWspAPER REAnING


Did you ever stop to think what
you miss If you do not make Il a
regular daily habit to read your To-
cal newspaper thoroughly?
Cutting out all question OF the
educat,ve effect of following public
news events, look at it merely for
the moment as a question of self in
terest.
The housewife learns from the
newspaper advertising how the cost
Of living can be reduced. She gath
ers information as to what her chill
dren are doing in school, which may
be vital to her hopes for their good
scholarship. She learns of concerts
and entertainments that add variety
and pleasure to her life, which but
for newspaper notice she might miss.
She learns of chances to secure do
nestle service.
The business man finds out about
openings by which he can turn an
honest dollar He learns how the
farmers are selling their crops, what
values real estate men place on theil
holdings, who there is seeking EN-
ployment, and what trade conditions
are. Still more important, he learns
what his compel tors are doing. He
gets constant suggestions as to nov
his commodities can be probably
marketed and meet the popular taste.
The mechanic learns about tie
business outlook of the factories,
and he can thereby form some i'm
preston of his chances for steldJ
work or better wages, He learns
how his brother workmen in other
employments are trying to improve
their condition, and he finds chances
n the advertising to save money on
the food and clothing of his family
The farmer learns about the croi
outlook and the governing values
OF commodities. He will be contin-
ally whirsawed by the produce ma
ket unless he studies the newspape
with a microscope for this kind oil
information.
Is there single class in this com
munity that does not get a definite
positive return in cash value from
reading each issue OF the home news
paper? Is there anyone who can al
ford not to be regular subscriber
to the home paper?

rHE DECLTNE OF THE ram COAT

THE DECLINE OF THE TAIL COAT
The average man reads with some
complacency that President Wilson
wears his grey sack suit every day
to the office, instead of the traditional
frock coat.
A few recent presidents have soft
ened the rigors Of dress in recent
years by the slightly less formal cut
away. But the sight of president
debating letters in a sack suit must
no doubt shock ceremonious Wash
ington.
How can man do days work in
"jim-swinger" coat?
A Prince Albert envelopes mans
limbs like shroud, its wide and FAR
reaching tails swathe the alertness
of his motions. The bigness and con-
straint OF the thing must dampen
his ardor and blur the Joy of quick
active endeayor.
Men are growing less conven-
tional in their dress. 1t was not
many years ago, that the majority
of those having any society affilia-
lions used to wear at least a cut
away coat evenings and often during
the daytime, To call on your next
door neighbor with simple business
sack coat on was about like going
in your shirt sleeves.
Man is working animal. The de-
mands of his labors grow more and
more exacting every year. Efficiency
schemes and systems have arisen ty
which he is trained to avoid every
useless motion. He is taught how
to sort the papers on his desk, how
to handle the raw material at the
machine to avoid the loss of even a
second by doubling on his track.
Under those conditions he must
strip to his task. The mechanic re-
duces his impedlmenta to oyeralls
and Shirt Sleeves, Ike runner in
the race. The business man is not
often permitted to go as far as that.
But at least he has be ONE welded
to the swift adjustability of the sack
coat. Meanwhile the cutaway in
which he used do his counting, or
the frock coat in which he was mar
ried, repose in their moth balls, re-
appearing only at the longer inter
walls. Let them rest
