IT SPEAKS WELL OF J. R.

At last Monday evenings meeting at which Mir. J. H. Cobb acting attorney general for the territory, who is seeking reelection, made po- litical speech, he said, while speaking of the work he had done for the Territory in collecting back taxes from the canneries that only two can neries had paid their taxes voluntarily, one of which was the Pure Food cannery, corporation of which J. R. Heckman, candidate for the sen ate is part owner and one of the directors. Doesn't that speak we'll of the candidate? It sure does No better compliment could have been paid Mr. Heckman. Yet there are a few who are prone to find fault because he is in the fishing business. They want you to believe that he cares nothing for the preservation of the fish so long as he gets the money. An absurdity on the face of it. But as nOnsensical as this may be, we have not reached the limits yet. There is another class of men who need attention. There is class of men who are earning their bread and butter and have been for years in this town who are now actually working tooth and nail to defeat their employers desire. These men will tell you that they work for their money and that on their own time, they have right to do as they please Which is right in a way, but it would be much more commandable had they the decency at least to keep their traps shut. They may vote their mind it is their inalienabe right, but while de- pending on others for living to go about preach ing their conviction which may be absolutely wrong, in order to defeat their employers, is to our opinion, going too far. With all this they still retain their position. Well, if this shows anything, it shows that the employers are broad minded. However, as much cannot be said of the employees.

Of course we want our men elected. That is natural But because we favor Tom and we have no confidence in either Dick Harry, it is no req son why we should cheat or abuse our neighbor for differing with us in hsi opinion. He has as much right to his opinion we have.
 If we really believe that Tom should be elect ed, we should educate our neighbor to think like us. To abuse him, or trick him gets us nowhere. It may help us for the time being, but it is bound to react, and reaction is what counts. If we want certain candidate to be elected, it is our duty to present his qualifications fairly and with fair means endeavor to pursuade our neighbor to vote for him and so on, without resorting to abuses or tricks. Let us play the game fair.

DECENCY DEMANDED.
Steward Post.l


 A prominent business of Seward has accused the Post of having other motive than politics in demand ing investigation of the Alaska road commission He evidently in his belief and The Post is going long way in it's effort to show him that nthisinstance he is mistaken His statement about the situation fol- lows:
 There is doubt about the rottenness of the Alaska road commission All the charges of gait, mismanage of funds and debauches of of it's mem bers are probably The delegate who is attacking the commission is Now what good Is it going to expose the road commission. You cant beat the Army and Navy club It is the most powerful institution in the United States No matter what charge bring the court martial will down you. A civilian has no chance when it to exposing crookedness in the army There is only thing to do and that is to keep still try get shore of the coin. If by atterng the road commission and batting them on the back we get them to spend little here much the better. You know that you cant make them be decent can't gain anything by exposing them, therefore attacks nothing but politics.
 The Post does admit that nothing be done and it denies any political motives The question of whether the post of Seward and Anchorage who want change for the administration of commission affairs win lose in their efforts has bearing the coming election.
