WHAT’8 TO BECOME'
I OF THE DRINKER
I One hundrer and twenty-six
men were recently discharged
1 from the employ of the Pits
burg and Lake Erie railroad for
drinking. The company had
warned all employees that they
would either have to stop drink
ing or leave the employ of the
company.
Surgeon General Manus of
the United States Army recent
ly recommended in a public re
port that “no one who uses al
coholic beverages should be ap
pointed to any important
! position, civil or military, to
| the command of military or nav
al forces, or for any other posi
tion if importance and respon
sibility.”
At a recgnl meeting of the
Transportation Club of Toledo,
Ohio, one of the speakers said:
“The transportation interests
of this country demand men
with clear brains and steady
| nerves. A great railroad had a
bad wreck not long ago. Up
on investigation it was found
that the engineer had been on a
spree. The company has is
sued an order forbidding any
of its men to visit saloons, and
even a moderate drinker will
be instantly discharged. What
is bad for the man at the thrott
le is equally bad for the man
who sits in the director's chair
»r at the president's desk.
What’s to become of the
drinker? The railroads don't
want him. From the humblest
job to the higest there is on
place for him. He is not want
ed for any important position
either civil or military; he can
not be elected to any high of
fice within the gift of the
people; the banks do not want
him; the wholesaler does not
want him; the farmer has no
use for him. Who wants the
drinker?
The penitentiary, the insane
asylum, the inebrite asylum,
the almshouse may receive him
in due course of time, but who
would aim to fit himself for
such a future as these insti
tutions represent? What’s to
become of the drinker? It is
a question to which the youth of
to day may well give some ser
ious thought.—Union Signal,
j W. C. T. U. PRESS SUPT.

■''ECfftor Miner:—*
According to last, nights paper
j seventeen men of this town of
lours are askmg thesupport of
the voters for election to the
Common Council. The great
majority of them in my opinion
are good, conscientious men,
but who knows how this or that
! one stands on the vital questions
| now confronting Ketchikan:
Permanent street improvements’
a more rigorous ceomony in the
administration of the towns’ af
fairs; taxes on immorality, and
the other dozen or more ques
tions which are perplexing the
minds of the voters.
It seems to me that the very
least the different factions can
do—for I understand there are
two or three factions or tickets ;
seeking support—is to make ,
a plain declaration of what they ,
stand for either through the
papers or at a public meeting.
This much surely the voters are
entitled to.
A VOTER.
Eight men were overwhel
med by an avalanche of snow
and swept from the goat trail
on the Scolai pass trail to their
deaths in the canyon, hundreds
of feet below, and another man
was lost on the wind-swept
Glaciers of the upper White
river, where he doubtless slepp
ed into one of the crevasses and
was killed. This news was
brought to Skagway by J. and
W'. Kingston, brothers, and
Homer Mercier. They mushed
out with dog teams from the
Chisana district, where they
have been since last June.

Another dredge will be added

Nome next spring. J. W.
Winter, a well-konwn mining
man, has given an option on
several claims on Copper gulch
and in the vicinity of that creek
to San Francisco parties, who
have announced their intention
of installing a large dredge tn
work the ground.

The poor house, naked, grim

all patiently they wait, and wait
for you and me. We come, we
come, 0 sad-yed wrecks;
we’er coming with a will! We’er
all in debt up to our necks, and
going deeper still! We'er buy
ing things we can’t afford, and
mock the old time way of salt

the rainy day! No more afoot

mortgages upon our homes,
our furniture, our boots. We’ve ,
banished all the ancient cares
we paint the country red, we live
like drunken millionaires, and
never look ahead. The paup
ers, on the poor house lawn, are
waiting in a group; they know
we’ll all be there anon, to share
their cabbage soup; they see
us in our costly garb, and say;
“There course is brief; we see
the harbingers that barb of
bankruptcy and grief.” Be
patient, paupers, for a span,
ye friendless men and dames!
We’er coming blithly as we
