BAD ADVERTISING.

Whoever was writing the editoTi- als of the kept lady" on last Tues day took occasion to criticise the cartoon which appeared in last Mon days Citizen, claiming that it was bad advertisement for the town not solely because 1t let the people Of the world know what class of crime was being committed in this neck of the woods but, what is more to the point, that 1t would tell to the world what class of officials we have here administering the laws and in what manner they administer justice.
 We will agree with the writer that the advertisement is bad, but which is the worst horn of the di- lemma? To sit back like docile canine and allow these persona prejudices to be carried on without uttering a protest, just like the Kept lady" Is doing, or telling the facts in the case and letting th. public judge whether they want to go up against such a game or not?
 The writer of the Bad Advert ing" editorial says that the purpose of the cartoon was to destroy con fidence In certain officials who have incurred the enmity of th3 owner of The Citizen. If that be the case then these same officials mus have incurred the enmity of the larger part of the entire community, fOr If votc were taken today they would far ar short of the conf dence ma1a.
 Who startei this bad advc1 Using which has got on the nerves of the kept lady'" It certainly was not The Citizen. It must have been the grand jury. who the 'ke1i lady" says Is insulted. If they were sin cere in their work and desired to bring all who had violated he law 10 justice why did they enn where they did and why were all of the indictments, with the sole exception

Steamer ana to
 Go to Kuskokwim

Captain Wallace Langley the well known local steamboat man, who recently returned to Fairbanks from the Outside, has decided to enter the Kuskokwim river trade. That is, he will start with his little steamer, the Tana, for the Kusko- kwim river shortly fter the opening of navigation. It Is his present in tention to follow the ice down the river to the mouth of the Yukon and to go around into the rCuth of the Kuskokwm as soon as possible thereafter.
 The Tana is one boat which will be missed from the river here, as will her master. Captain Langley. The chief reason Is that the boat has been used each year in a plea sure trip for the women and chil- dren of the city.

N EIGH, NEIGH.

It is a characteristic of all iron tier camps. where the inhabitants are gathered from various sections of the country, that many of the prominent pioneers go down in his tory carrying nicknames or sobri Quets suggestive of their native states. For instance, "Alabam," :" "Missou." Montana Pete,' Arizona Charlie etc, Which arouses a mild speculation as to the likelihood of future historians being misled or confused in the event of Doc Myers being dubbed "The Oregon Mayor"

IMMORAL SHOWS.-We constant
ly see signs in front of picture shows
stating: mo children admitted" The
city board of censors views all pic
lures before they are released to the
public. There are many cut-outs
made.
If the board of censors is playing
square and would visit the Haymar-
ket or Gayety burlesque houses they
would cut them out entirely.
The show that is at the Haymarket
theater this week is not fit to be
shown to adults, but there was no
sign out for adults only. Sunday
evening the balcony was filed with
boys, many of them being in short
pants. They could be seen sitting
and smoking cigars. By the remarks
they passed and shouting they did to
the actresses one could easily see
they were accustomed to seeing
things that are immoral.
Club women are going to investi-
gate and see if any immoral pictures
are shown on the screen in this city.

them visit the cheap burlesque shows
and see whether they can help drive

SCARCITY OF PRINT PAPER

Editorial Association Told Country
Publishers May Find It Neces-
sary to Suspend Business.

Los ANGELES. Cal, September 90
Unless the print paper situation is re-
lieved before long half the country
papers in the United States will have
to suspend publication, temporarily at
least" Bruce -Bliven, professor of jour-
nalism at the University of Southern
California. yesterday told members of
the Southern California Editorial Asso-
citation in convention.
He proposed cooperative action to
correct the evils responsible for this
condition
There is no good reason" he said,
why newspaper publishers should not
nave cooperative buying organizations
purchase in big quantities and distrib-
ute to their members as the paper Is
needed. For that matter, there is no
good reason why they should not get
together and build their own mills, buy
their own timber and make their own
paper. And certainly they ought to be
able to make a stronger concerted pro-
test to Congress than they have done
against the imposition of the present
situation and secure more effective ac-
ton than now seems likely"
