*T«re good Juneau Democrats have picked fruit

appointment of James F. Hurley to be coart librarian
v—- S. J. Keeper to re a member el me Marshal s
force at Ketchikan constitutes recegniliee for two
xccd men who will serve the people well. in the
case cf Mr. Hooper the regret is that his duties nrili
take him away fnr. Juneau."
Why was public sentiment cruc_f.ee or. m.e cross
cf politics r That is the iuesr.cn that we are trying
tc answer. But unfortunately, we cannot: that is.
not satisfactorily.
In the first place to remove a mar. whose faith

WOILDVT TOl' LIKE A LOOK IN?
Who of us who ever lived in Seattle would not
like to drop in at this moment and see how those
people are behaving themselves without the stim
ulating spirit of the bar room. Scarcely any. we
venture to say. But since we cannot satisfy our
desire w* can at least draw a mental picture of the
•‘Saintly Spirit City," as if trust be today. If we
imagine that they are alt walking the streets like
lost souls, we cannot be far off from the reality
that we would be made to gas* upon, were w* to drop
in their midst at this moment. A whole lot of
them, must be lost. Entirely lost. Just think, all sober
as judges, as the oM saying is. What a transfor
mation: The charge must be staggering. Not that
they used an awful lot of liquor either, but they
knew where to get it if they wanted it. that was
one consolation.
It is true that they have lost in a way, but
on the other hand they have gained in another wav:
and front now or. there will be no snakes: no mur
der. no thievery and above all no holdups because
who would holdup saintly personages, pray ? And
here you have a true picture of what Seattle must
be today; sober, safe and sound: at least physically.
Now. let us see: If we remember correctly, a
short time age the men of the state of Washington
very gallantly gave the women equal suffrage; did
they cot? Then they should have known what was
hanging at the tip of their coses. They should have
known that by giving the women the right to vote
they would be made to walk the streets like lost
souls, because the women who are always the suffer
ers through the use of liquor by men, were locking
for an opportunity to knock the prop from under
the men: and the moment they- got a chance they car
ried their intention into practice and made of the
state a dry state; and there they are- However, it
will do the men a whole lot of good, not speaking of
the women. Anyhow, it would be fun to he just s
round the corner and watch those men looking foot
isily for something they have lost. Wonder if their
gallantry will undergo a change of temperature.

THE EDITORIAL PAGE
i From the Dayton News)
This from the Fourth Estate, a magarne for
"No newspaper is stronger than its editorial
page. Its news may be exhaustive—its volume of
advertising incredibly large, bat it will not be that
power in American life which a great newspaper
ought to be unless its editorial page is a beating
heart, jumping the red bleed of virile idieas through
The trouble with a good many newspapers is that
if they have “a volume of advertising incredibly
large." they are satisfied They do not aspire to
leadership in any sens* than that which leads to the
rash drawer. And still it isn't a trouble at all. for
the reason that th* rewsp.arer that lacks leadership
is also going to lack an .“incredible volume of adver
tising.“ because th* advertisers are 'earmr.g that it
pays best to at verms* in the newspaper that wield*
a power is the community through its news and edi
torial columns.
