WHY DID IT WAIT?

The Juneau Empire of october 2d published an article in which 1t claimed to throw Light on Dele gates Chsrges," and in so doing sought to discredit that gentleman and accused him of placing Judge Jennings and other democrats who are supporting Chas. E. Bunnell- in q false light in the public speeches he vas making through reading only portions of the letters which he had received from them while push ing certain Alaska measures through congress.
 Nov as the Empire appears to be engaged in an effCrt to uplift the people of the territory through a democratic education of its voters, We should like to ask why it was so duatOry in bringing the matter above referred 70, to their at teNtiOu?
 On September 10th, Judge Wicker sham started his campaign with an address to the people of ketchi- kan, on Sept. 18th, he was at Petersburg, on Sept 2Sth, he was at Juneau, from which point he went to Sitka sn ] then returned to Juneau, on Oct. 1st, he was in Skagway and on Oct. 2d, he was in Haines. And in all of these places be made the same use of, and the saTle allusions to the letters he had received from Judge Jennings, John W Troy, Chas. E. Bunnell and others, and there was not even a ''Cheep" from the Empire as to their not being authentic. nor any complaint that the subject matter contained iu them had been garbled by Mir. wickersham to suit his own ends. On the 4th Judge Wicker sham left for the westward, without having seen the article in the Empire, and therefore. without hay ing had Q chance to reply.
 If the Empire was sincere in its belief Of Judge Wickersham's al Ieged underhanded political methods why did it not confront him with the evidence it now claims to have discovered of his duplicity while he was in our midst and could have been publicly -confounded to the great e6ificaion Of the Alaskan democracy and the enlightmeHt of the voters of all parties in the First Division? Fifteen days should have been ample time in which to have thrown off the en- velopiug cloak that obscured the democrauc light and have allowed its rays to penetrate even into the most obscure and darkest political corners.
 Why wait until MT. Wickersham was not in a position to reply to the Chargas brought? There is food here for reflection, and investiga- lion IS we'll, by the voters at the coming election.

IMPORTED" PRODUCTS

Human nature is pretty much the same the world over, and when we read of the California society ladies paying exorbitant prices for Jim ported" ostrich plumes for decorat- ing their headgear that had been raised on the ostrich farms near Los Angeles, sent from there to London to receive the proper stamp, returned to America as an imported article, and sold at a much higher price than could be obtained for a home labeled feather of exactly the same size and quality, we are re- minded Of some things that are hap peniug in Alaska along practically the same lines, the only difference being that instead of the discrimina- ton being against luxuries, it was against a food product that is al most a necessity. 70
 To illustrate how this was done in at least one instance we quote from a recent issue of the Ruby Record Citizen:
 "The following is sn extract from a letter received by A Haarvei, the grocer, from H. S. Emerson & Go, of Seattle:

"But it is a question if the day

"If the striking miners are to be
returned to work, those now working
must necessarily leave the mines.
