CURE OF BAD BOYS.
Washing'll in and oilier stales
that are struggling with I henries
looking towards the prevention ol
crime'at-I I lie treating of youth
ful wrongdoers, and has already
tried with varyipg success I he ju
venile law, should ponder on the
scheme that has been in vogue in
the city of Cleveland for the past
four years and which has borne
excellent fruit.
It is known as the '‘(ioldeu Rule
Police Policy,” whereby trivial ar
rests are done away with, slight
offenders are taken to the station
house and warned, and much is
left to the judgment- and discre
tion of the officer. In 1907, prior
to the establishment of the law,
there were over 30,000?arrests; in
1912, a few over 7,0ft0, and one
police court is idle much of the
time, for lack of cases.
Not only has there been a de
crease in crime, but young peo
ple who have thoughtlessly or in
a spirit of mischief committed
.some breach are not subjected to
the humiliation of a police court
trial, which in many cases starts
the unfortunate on a downward
career. Human nature being the
same the world over, what would
apply in Cleveland should be eft'i
cac’ous in Valdez and other places
where boys—not necessarily bad
boys—live, thrive and have their
-being, sometimes to the distrac
tion of their parents and the reg
ularly ordained authorities.
TRAVELER’S TOWELS.
The Secretary of the Treasury,
who has jurisdiction over such
things in the District of Colum
bia, has issued a mandate that in
interstate trains in the national
capital there shall he supplied no
dirty towels for use of passengers.
When one person shall avail him
self of the means of drying his
face or hands after ablution, that
shall be. the end of it; the towel
must be “re-laundered and ster
ilized” before serving again; the
first user may have infected it
and onr paternal government de
clares that the rest of us shall not
take any chance.
This is in line with the general
campaign for cleanliness. It is
all desirable and all righl. The
only fear is I hat (lie increase of
sanitary requirements may oper
ate to decrease flie provision
made for cleanliness already by
the corporations. If there are no
tow-ls at all, there will be no de
mand for disinfection.
Then, of course, there is the
other danger that railroads com
plying with the order and supply
ing individual towels In ils pa
trons may cite the extra expense
as another of their many reasons
for urging an increase of freight
rates.
EDITORIAL MOTES.
The year 1913 is eerlaiiily a
hoodoo year for several thousand
officeholders'.
John Ballaine is having a whale
of a time back east posing as a
spokesman' for Alaska.
You do not hear a chirp from
the iceman Ihesc times, for he
has a cold snap (he year ’round.
Those forty Servian cannon
must have been a new sound to
those who are defending Adrian
ople.
A Russian immigrant landed in
New York with $50,000. It’s a
wonder he was ever permitted to
get beyond F.llis Island.
The Japanese method of duck
ing opposition members of parlia
ment is better at. that, than the
Eglish suffragettes methods.
The United Slates Steel Corpor
ation irtftkcs an unanswerable ar
gument for free trade by building
a twenty million dollar steel
plant in Canada.
The early run of spring salmon
will necessitate the Alaska Pack
ers’ Association beginning earlier
than usual making out their af
fidavits of salmon propagation.
There arc so many ways in
which our legislature can be made
useful that lack of space forbids
the mentioning of but one—do
ing away with partisan politics.
Without wishing lo disparage
art, we still refuse In be stamped
ed into believing some Venus
beautiful because she wears a
thirteen collar and a three shoe.
A drinking man boasted of liisj
drinking capabilities and proceed- !
ed to stow away a quart of whis
key. The Moral decorations were
said In have been beautiful, while
I,hi* quarlel sang beautifully.
sSuporinlondent I.opp's figuring
on the government's reindeer re
sources in Alaska calls to mind
Col. Mulberry Sellers’ eslimateof
the profils 1o be made by the sale
of his eye ointment to the Chi
nese.
Falcon Joslyn says it is a budge
of honor in Alaska to be indicted
for connect ion with coal entries.
Thai depends. There have been
honest as well as dishonest en
trymen. To which does Mr. Jos
lyn refer?
The “perfect woman,” as found
in our institutions of learning, is
entirely a creature of measure
ment. .The fellow who thinks of
gelling married will still give
some thought to her character
and rooking, however.
Fairbanks will gain distinction
by having an officeholder who
has resigned, one of the mem
bers-elect of the legislature hav
ing forwarded his resignation ow
ing lo ill health and inability to
make the trip to the roast.
It’s surprising to see how
many people make for “The
Cliff” to get warm rooms these
snappy days.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
fi Facts Are Facts”
It i - a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product: brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
