HISTORY AND PUNS
FOR PASSENGERS ON
SIGHT SEEING AUTO
Lecturer Gives Interesting
Account of City's Past
Without Its Accuracy Be
ing Challenged.

sightseeing auto? II you didn't you have
lots to learn You will find in some in
stances that famous historians have
greatly erred, that statisticians have not
been within gunshot distance of facts,
and that you'll feel at the end of the
trip that you should brush UP on things
concerning your own city.
A trip on one of these "rubber-neck"
cars was taken today by an Evening
| Ledger reporter. He started from Fiji
! teenth and Market streets in receptive
! mood, but before riding a mile was con-
! vinced that he knew very little, indeed,
about places and events In his own city.
Tho first surprise came when the car
! reached the main pos'ofice. There the
marathon lecturer pointed to the statue
! of benjamin Franklin and announced in
/ authoritative tones. There Is the statue
! OF benjamin Franklin. II was upon this
! very plot of ground that Franklin flew
/ his kite and got electricity from the
| clouds" Some of the other riders also
! We're amazed. They made quiet COM
/ ment. but as most Of the passengers ap-
! pcared to be contcnted the statement
l passed unquestioned
| one could half close his eyes and pic
| tur" tho guide enlightening an audience
! in vaudeville house. Glowing tribute
! was paid by the lecturer to prominent
: street. on reaching Fifth street he an
nounced that the Delaware River was
( five squares east: also that the Atlantic
Ocean, which washed the shores of New
Jersey and several other States, was 63a4
miles east of that
( CONsC1ENCELESs ENCYCLOPEDIA
Endowed with a vocabulary which
would have done credit to a high school
graduate, the speaker then went on like
human encyclopedia without con-
science.
The block from Fifth to sixth on
Market street was referred to as great
mems row." Luckily there We're no men,
pers of the Pennsylvania Historical So
ciety on board, for the guide pointed out
the early homes of several Presidents
half dozen famous statesmen and resi-
denccs of others who helped make history
in the days Of the City'S early struggles
At Seventh street he was obliged to
drop history for commerce, Al. the de-
partment stores got the fullest praise
md the prices of hats and gowns were
not forgotten. In describing one. the
lecturer remarked: There Is a store so
large that If a woman bought a hat at
the Market street entrance and carried
. il over every floor the hat would be out
| of style before she left the building"
Just then n building hove in sight in
which a white coated cook was turning
acrobatic cakes That" shouted the
guide, lis a restaurant whore a hungry
man may get anything from roast dim
ner to piece of bread If he has n roll"
This brought a smile and. encouraged,
hc went on. There Is the worlds
largest Penn holder City Hall and IL
cost 100000 to hold Billy in place. Even
at that ne becomes impatient on account
Of tho deeds which go on under him"
Up Broad street the car then wabbled.

PRESENT THE PROOF.

DEFORE THEY can have any right H to ask for consideration of any
 kind for the affirmative things set forth in the platform which they have adopted or for the personal qual' ifications for official position of any of themselves. the candidates of the Peoples Party must substantiate the charges they have made against the members of the present City govern ment and the candidates on the Citi' zcns' ticket for the next. or they must retract them. The good name of Ju. neau demands this, as do all the rules of right and justice and fair dealing among men.
 The charges made are grave in char acter. They involve not only the ad- ministrative capacity. but the official rectitude and personal character of some of the foremost business men of this city. No man or men have any moral or any other kind of right to make charges such as those promul- gated yesterday by Mir Valentine and the others on the ticket with him un. less they are in position to prove them-and. considering the purpose and circumstances of the charges. the proof should accompany them.
 It these charges are not susceptible of proof to the point of moral certain ty. they are vilely slanderous, and their authors must retract them or stand convicted before public opinion as character assassins.
 II We do not mistake the temper of the times. the people of Alaska have passed the time when they will tol- crate political campaigns conducted along lines of unfounded personal abuse and wreckless assaults on character. They are not going to permit men to charge fellow citizens of crimes involving their reputations and their standing before the commun- ity for the purpose of merely gaining power and prestige for themselves.
 The members of the city adminis- tration are charged either in direct terms or by plain inference in the platform of the Peoples party, over the signature of all the candidates of that party. among other things. of evading the payment of taxes them selves and failure to exact taxes from the favored few" while they are ac.

cused of "robbing" those without the inner circle;" of giving free use of the City wharf to certain parties Of the inner circle" while others have been charged to the limit; of frittering away s15O.OOO of the peoples money and being themselves the chief bene ticiarles; of conducting the municipal court for oppression and revenue on Ily:" of employing a horde of high salaried tyrants" who have oppressed the people and served no useful pur' pose: Of corcealing tho city's ac' counts: of connivmg at preventing those not friendly to the administra' ton from registering so as to become qualified to vote; of the formation of ring" for sinister" purposes and coercing "weaklings"- John Beck, John R. Willis, William Britt and c, w. Fries (?-to become candidates for Councilmen to serve the bidding of the interests" and other things of like character.
 These charges must be sustained by proof before the Peoples party can have any standing before the commun- ity. The proof must be conclusive and not vain imaginings CT irresponsible assertion. Their character is of na. ture that is too grave for light treat ment. And. in submitting the proof, it should be borne in mind that some of the charges and assertions in the platform are so thoroughly contrary to the general understanding of the facts that the finger of doubt and sus- picion is pointing at all of them.
 The people of Juneau are not going to convict c. w. Carter, Harry J. Ray. mond. w. S. Geddes. w. H. Case. F. c, Hurlbutt. w. S. Pullen. John B. Mar shall. John Reck. John R. Willis. Will liam Britt, c. w. Fries, and E. W. Petit of being knaves and weddings upon the bald assertion of any man or half dozen men. The charges that have been made against them must be proved or Ietracted, or those that have made them must, at least, stand forth as not the proper men to be placed in charge of the city's business.

Do not forget to register. The vote of every patriotic citizen of Juneau should be boiled at the coming munich pal election-and there is none in Ju. neau who does not want to be patriot. ic.

SUGAR.

Almost all the sugar in the world
comes from two sources-the sugar
cane and the sugar beet. There is
also maple sugar, sugar made from
the sap of date palms and from dried
fruits. But the sugar we use in huge
quantities, the loaf sugar, the granu-
lated and the powdered, comes from
the cane or the beet. Fifty years ago
sugar was more or less OF a luxury.
Today it is a necessity.

Of protection. The sun spurge has a

that cows and sheep feeding near it
will not touch it, and the leaves of
the buttercup have a bitter taste
which is much disliked by plant-eat-
