DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

In a recent issue of the Daily Al askan, this paper took the position that 1t i5 far better to reward tried and true friend of the peo- pie, who by his work has proven himself such and is again asking for their suffrage at the polls, than it would be to choose one whose only known recommendation Is his devotion to his political party and who in consequence would be supposed to advocate and advance any measure that might be put for ward by the party leaders, regard less as to whether 1t would be to the best interests Of the people as 8 whole or not.
 But this line of reasoning does not apparently appeal favOFably to Che Juneau Daily Empire for in commenting on the article in Ques- uOn that paper in its issue of Aug. 22ud, says: "Is this not another eff fort to everyday the Credulity of the publLc?"
 We fail to see how it is a mark O credulity for any one to be able to comprehend and accept as a fact the Ddlsputable evil dence spread out on every hand Of the inspiration of the train ed and logical mind that realized the needs and recognized the possi- biuues of the territory of Alaska, and which, in conjunction with the master hand of a born leader, has finally succeeded in extricating it from it's obscurlty and starting it on the road to the ultimate fulfill ment of Its destiny as one Of that glorious CostellatIon which so proudly floats over the land of the free and the home of the brave"
 The Empire further says: "The question before the people Of Al aska now is not one Of rewarding someone for public services per formed sometime In the past"
 If the above is true politically it also true lu every day commer- clal life, and the man who has put forth every effort and succeeded in advancing his employers inter ests and in a measure has become indispensable to a further enlarge ment and enhancement of the busi- ness, should be ruthlessly cast aside for one whose competency has been untried, and is therefore an unknown quantity, but whose political affiliations are in harmony with the powers that be.
 In the fIrst epistle of Paul, the apostle, to the Thessalonians, 5th chapter, 21st verse, he says: Prove all things, and hold fast that which is good" and this ad- vice is as applicable today as it was then. $
 Mr. Wickersham through years Of trials and disappointments has prov en his ability and his devotion to the interests and advancement of the territory, while Mir. Bunnell, who has only been in the democratic fold for the past two years, having before that time been a staunch re- publican, has never had an oppor- tunity to show either his ability or his fitness for the position and we believe his aspirations, notwithstand ing the assurances that we are told have been given the territorial democratic committee by the chair man Of ythe local organization, that he would deliver go per cent, of the democratic votes of Skagway to the latter at the coming election, are doomed to so unfulfilled for at least another two years.

CONTROL OF FOOD PRICES

No high prices in food stuffs can long prevail without the cooperation either, consciously or unconsciously, Of the consuming public, and the recent fear of sugar famine and the wild buying in one hundred pound lots is proof of the fact.
 Little sugar, comparatively, is manufactured in Europe, and little would go into the domestic economy of the European troops. It was just a faint rumor, recognized and ac- celerated by the public prints, that

BE Subject to Civil Service

Washington, Jan. 16.-Defiance
of administration disapproval OF
the postoffice appropriation bill, be-
cause the provisions exempting all
the 2400 assistant postmasters in
the country from civil service, was
voiced in the house debate on that
measure by Representative Moon of
Tennessee, chairman of the postof-
flee committee.
In the course of his speech he at
tackled the American diplomatic
corps as "a superfluous appendage
to the republic" and "a gang of
political reprobates and society de-
generates that we ought to wipe out
of existence"
Mr.. Moon said he had received
letter from Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson saying the president did not
approve the section regarding as
sistant postmasters.

NO MORE STRIPES IN
THE FEDERAL PRISON


Leavenworth, Jan. Warden
Morgan has issued an order COM
pletely abolishing the wearing OF
stripes in the federal prison. For
years the universal wearing OF
stripes has been abolished. but all
prisoners who attempted to escape
were obliged to wear them for six
months after their capture.
2 Warden Morgan believes escaped
prisoners consider stripes a mark of
distinction more than disgrace. as
they are pointed out by the guides
to all visitors, and this has a bad
influence on other prisoners.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Represen'
tative Stanley of Kentucky after a
conference with President Wilson
introduced late yesterday an amend
ment to the Sherman law which
would make illegal the monopoliza-
ton or restraint OF trade I'm any
degree" It is designed to eliminate

the supreme court in the Standard
Oil case. The amendment also
would invest the circuit court Of
the United States withjurisdiction to
restrain and prevent violations of
the act, irrespective of the attorney
general 1t was drawn to meet the
wish of the president, expressed in
his last message to congress, to re-
dUce the debatable area surrounding
the Sherman act.
Representative Stanley discussed
the measure with the president and
previously had correspondent with
him at length on the subject.
The Stanley bill would amend the
second and fourth sections Of the
Sherman law. In section two into
which the supreme court injected

CAN'T FIND MEN TO
FILL BULL MOOSE TICKET

Topeka, Jan. 15.-For some time
It has been generally eoncl Ided that
II. j. Allen of Wichita would not
make the race for governor on the
Progressive ticket. Now a boom has
been started for him for congress
on the Bull Moose ticket from the
Eighth district to succeed Victor
Murdoch.
All of which goes to show that
the personnel of the Bull Moose
state and congressional ticket is
still away up in the air and aero
planning higher. With the Republic
can and Democratic tickets making
quite a definite form at this time,
and candidates being mentioned or
announced for all of the places, the
probable Bull Moose ticket is Just
one long vacant space outside of
Victor Murdock's announcement for
the senate and J. L. Brady's declar-
alton that he will run for congress
in the second district.
Close friends of Allen insist that
he will run neither for governor or
for congress. Just now Allen is the
only man who is being doomed for |
= place on the Bull Moose ticket. |
Nobody else apparently, is being
for any OF the places on
the ticket.
'''It looks" said one man today,
''as II the ProgrcsSives won't have
enough strong candidates to hold a
full hand and will have to sit in
the primary with bob-tail flush"
Junction City, Jan. 15.--Loring
Trott, who was named by the Bull
Moose conference here, managed by
men from out of the district, for
is not certain that he
will make the race. He says the
selection was premature and has
asked the Bull Moosers to find
some stronger man"

section foreman for the Rock Is
land, and one of his men, G. Har-
wood, were electrocuted yesterday
afternoon, Just west of Mankato,
where the line of the Concordia
Electric Light company to Burr Oak
crosses the Rock Island. The men
had gone to the place to measure
the height of the electric wires

were dangerous and were carrying
1920 volts. They used a steel
tape in attempting to get the dis
lance and threw this over the bare
copper wires carrying the heavy
voltage and were both instantly
killed.
Smith was a married man and
had a family and lived in Mankato.
Harwood was unmarried and was
young man.
The Electric Light company here
states that the poles at the cross
ing of the Rock Island were 40 feet
high and that just how the acci-
lent came about they have not been |
able to learn. A coroner's inquest
vas to be held this afternoon. 1t is
hought that the men attached a
weight to one end of the steel tape
nd threw it over the wires. The
