 THE Valdez Commoner reprints a story from one of its exchanges, the name of which is not given, in which The Ci izen is credited with being the best paper published in Alaska. While The Citizen fully appreciates his distinction, it is not satisfied to rest on it's oars, but will strive 'or constant improvement.
 WHEN an advertisement appeared in a San Francisco paper stating hat there were 100 native women on I South Sea island wanting husbands, the number of men who wanted t9 marry the dusky women proved to be far in excess of the demand And vet there are people so ignorant as to say that advertising doesn't pay.
 
 SAN FRANCISCO'S Barbary Coast Nas been abolished, but people fam iliar with that city know that mere suppression of vice in that part of that city will not make it a clean municipality The filthy Barbary Coast was a social cancer, with poisonous tentacles reaching out to the vital organs of the city, and just as the cancer that has reached certain stage cannot be cured by an opera ton, so is it impossible to purify a community by driving the immoral element from any one secton, without taking steps to remove it from all parts of the city at one time.
 WHEN we stop to realize how temporary is ordinary political fame, it is not easy to understand why a man will sacrifice so much for an office that is not financially profit able There is nobody who is so quickly forgotten as the average poli tician. A man may be United States senator today, and five years after he is out of the office, few people not in intimate association with him will remember that he is alive. To prove this, just try to count on your fingers the ex-sena- tors that you can remember and you will see that there are very few whose names you can recall.

the Trinity Club of that city in two of

TO Wreck PH|[l|ES
FederaIs Determined to Break

Alexander, Mayer and Lobert Want

With Rivals.

PHILADELPHIA, July 13.-Reports
from an authoritative source in Pitts
burgh bring the information that the
Federal League is still busily engaged
in trying to complete its efforts to wreck
the Phillies. While the team was play
ing its series with the Pirates last week,
agents Of the opposition league bounded
Dooin's men continually. making all
sorts Of fancy offers to them for next
season. The fact that nearly all the
regular players of the Phillies are I'M
der contract for one and two years made
no difference to the Federal agents.
Alexander, Mayer and Lobert are the
players the Federals have out their lines
for but so far as known they received
no assurance that any of the Phillies
would jump. Alexander has signed a
contract for three years with the Phil
lies. and it is not likely he will be
tempted by the offers of the rivals.
Mayer is also signed up for next year,
according to the Philadelphia club Of
ticials, but Lobert's contract expires this
year. and the Federals have announced
that he will play third base for Balti-

Lobert offered Tempting Bait.

On the day that Mike Doolan signed
to play with Otto knabe's team. Lobert
was the recipient of an offer that he ad-
mitted was almost too good to refuse.
Lobert was under contract, however. and
was fair enough to inform the Federal
agents that he would do nothing until
his contract expired. He was also offer
ed a bonus for an option on his services
at the close of this season. This bonus
was said to be $4,000 for an option on
his services for three years. and it was
reported he was to be given a three
year contract for $500 a year.
The Federal League still has the base
ball world wondering what it is aiming
for. No one who knows anything about
the base ball business appears able to
figure out where the Federal expects to
win out paying such salaries as it prom
ises to pay major league stars to tempt
them from organized base ball.
Tho very fact that It has reduced the
price of admission to 25 cents in Pitts
burgh and Brooklyn Is proof that 1t Is not
drawing. Chicago Is holding up as well
as could be expected. but with the White
Sox and Cubs taking a place in the
American and National League pennan:
fights that causes them to be considered
pennant possibilities there Is no chance
for the Federals to gain much of a hold.
The Federals have Baltimore by the

ing 1900 on Saturday for a double head

Terrapins for third place in the league
race, is not displaying much enthusiasm,
and it will take many crowds Of 1900 to
pay the Baltimore salary list at the
scale of admission charged in Baltimore.
Big Money Paid for Players.
There is no question but what the Fed
era League has not only caused organ
lied base ball lot of worry, but it has
cost the major league club owners a lot
Of money. Still, it is hard to see where
the magnates of organized base ball are
entirely dissatisfied with their lot or are
looking on the future with signs of un-
certainty when Cincinnati and the Bos-
ton Red Sox can afford to pay fabulous
prices for players who have never been
classed as real stars.
1t Is possible that organized base ball
may lose few more players at the close
of the season. but it will be only those
who are dissatisfied with their berths, or
who are unable to hold up their own club
owners for more money than they are
worth The very fact that the American
and National League magnates are meet
ing the demands of the players. if they
are at all reasonable, will cause the SEN
sible thinking player to hesitate about
jumping. So far there has been nothing
to the legal battle between the two
sides. for to date the Federals have been
completely worsted in their fight in the
courts over players.
