THE GLORY OF ERIN.
THE soldier 1 loved who was fight
ing for Erin.
Was fighting for Erin in Flan
ders ami France.
The truest and bravest of ail Is
my Erin.
B© mighty seemed he with his saber and
lance!
Who. when he departed, made lonely my j
Erin. i
But clasped me and cried. "God's heart
toe with thine.’
In answer I gave him a shamro k of Erin
And tenderly whispered. "Thy glory be
mine"
1
The enararocfc 1 gathered, the shamrock
of Erin,
The shamrock 1 sent with my soldier to j
France.
Ia resting this day near the warm breast '
of Erin ■ j
O’er the heart <4 a hero in death's icy j
trance.
But not for the gold, nor the wealth of !
aJ! Erin >
Would I see the proud name of the sol- .
dier decline:
It was he who went forward, went for- j
ward for Erin— .
Xlrin, oh. Erin, thy glory be mine!
How proudly the ship will return nome to j
Erin,
Return home to Erin from over the sea;
Return with the soldier who died for
sweet Erin.
Who died lor sweet Erin—for Erin
and me
Thy crags and thy vales will be desolate,
Erin.
The life which tbou gavest. thou gaveet i
was thine,
Bo why should t pine when ne gave It j
thee. Erln
Erltj, sweet Erin, thy glory be min©. |

Don’t allow the political agitators.
to use your children’s education as aj
stepping stone to political aggran- j
dizement.. i'
_ m ■ ! ’
Whichever way the election may go ;
tomorrow lay aside your prejudices,
and let’s work for the betterment of1
the town.
" "' i
Cordova has increased in popula-;!
ti»u ilia past year by many hundreds;
Seward. Fairbanks, Anchorage and J1
Juneau have forged steadily ahead.
Valdez has stood still. There’s a 1
reason. '
_ . i i
Doctor F. M. Boyle has been mayor ; ■
of Valdez the past year. You can See i!
the fruits of hi6 administration on
every hand. Consider the effect of <
his election upon our school system >
it he applies the same “rough-house” j'
methods to our educational system. !<
The Doctor cannot work in harmony,]
with any body of men who refuse to i
inflow him to dictate to them. What 1
would be the result? , I
HERE AND THERE.
F. M. Boyle, who has been in
!Washington the past few months as
sisting the administration, will arrive
home early in May. Dr. Boyle, dis
claims the rumor that he started the
Mexican invasion, but his friends at
tribute his strenuous denial to his in
nate modesty. The Doctor is bringing
back a choice collection of late ‘‘bull’'
which his friends can have by calling
at his office in Annexation Row.

ASenator O. P. Hubbard, of Hub- j
bardsville, somewhere in Alaska, is j
visiting in Valdez today. The Sena
tor is assisting the new Bunk Com
pany build annexation quarters on
Keystone Rftw. The senator has al
ways taken a griSit interest, in Valdez
politics and will remain with us—as
long as our finances hold out.
JU
“Honest John” Frame, erstwhile
editor of the Juneau Transcript, who
has been visiting in Valdez the past
three or four years has been called
to Anchorage to assist in retarding
the. development of that thriving city.
Mr. Frame has been very successful
in his work in Valdez and the citizens
of Anchorage will undoubtedly wel
come him with a brass band.

We regret to inform our readers
that by a recent decision ol' our “city
attorney" all legal notices published
by the city in the Miner are invalidat
ed on account of that paper being is
sued on Sunday morning. Parties
owing delinquent taxes may now
sleep nights, as the attorney's deci
sion annuls all contracts the city has
made the past year. While this wjll
cause endless wor,ry to those papers
publishing Sunday editions in the
States, they should not be too severe
ly censured as they have not had the
advantage of our legal talent.

Several hundred Valdez citizens
who have been visiting in Anchorage.
Seward and other towns in this vi
cinity the past two years, will return
:o Valdez after the city election to
morrow.

NOTICE: $1,000,000 reward will
ie paid by the Prospector tor the ar
-est and conviction of any party who
;an catch a marshal, deputy marshal,
ir court official of any kind voting at
;he city election. This is contrary to
Sec. 24. of the Devised Statutes of
Hubbardsville, and- the authority to
larrass voters at said election is del
egated solely to city clerks and police
tiagistratos. Our citizens should vig
orously denounce the usurpation of
Lhese privileges by a U. S. official,
md the Prospector will do all in its
lower to break up this pernicious
labit.

It was reported on our streets this
norning that the old council had
nissed hampering several of our in
lustries the past year, but investiga
ion proved that it was a canard
started at the eleventh-hour by the
ipposition. and is absolutely without
oundatjon.

A telegram received at the Pros
jector office today from President
iVilson states that the overwhelming
Lgitalion in favor of placing the
forty-Ninth Star in the. azure held
if the national emblem has caused a
complete revision of sentiment among
he members of Congress. They now
avor placing it in the National Mu
icum at the Capital. V

The report spread broadcast by the
idherents of the Citizens' Ticket that
he Lilly Restaurant had been closed
town to starve the voters into sup
sorting the "Antiquated’’ Ticket is
i fabrication pure and simple, and
ihowE to what length disreputable
soliticians will go to gain their ends.
We can’t make every change of program bettor than it* predecessor.

I£ the Citizens’ Ticket docs not suit
every man, woman or child in Valdez
they are hard to please. It is com
posed of men picked from all ovei
the city; none of them politicians ar.t]
none ot them pledged to war on out
business firms.
if your dislike for any member ol
the Citizens’ Ticket compels you tc
scratch his name, do not vote for i
member of the opposition. Leave hit
name blank. A vote for the opposi
tion weakens our ticket and is liable
to place one of the opposition in of
fice
voters should go to the polls to
morrow with the idea that they are
not voting for any issue, party 01
man, but for Valdez. It is harmfu
to the town to interject outside is
sues into city politics. Vote for the
man whom you think will give the
city the best business administration
irrespective of whether the man is a
democrat or republican.
When you go to the polls tomor
row remember that your vote can
make or mar the future of the city;
the coming year. If you are satisfied
with affairs in our city, vote to retain
the old regime: if you believe that
Valdez is entitled to the same chance
as other cities on the coast, give, us
a new administration. Vote' the Citi
zens' Ticket.
Compare the Citizens’ Ticket with
that of the opposition. Not a man on
the Citizens’ Ticket has pledged him
self to anything or anyone. The
opposition is pledged to a platform
which if adopted will work further
injury to the town, and eventually
irive out every business opposed to
their practices. If you believe in a
Bigger, Busier. Better Valdez, vote
lie Citizens’ Ticket.
And after the election is over for
get if. Let sleeping dogs lie. and let's
put ottr surplus energy into building
tip one of the best towns on the coast.
If Anchorage, or Seward had our har
bor and natural advantages they
would shortly have half ;i million
population. We have the best of ev
erything in the Territory at our door
and are allowing it to lie fallow while
we engage in factional fights. Let’s
unite and fight the other towns.
Charles G. Ganty was dismissed
front the services of the city as city
attorney last summer on the plea that
the city did not need an attorney. The
I council then proceeded to pay out
' $877.80 in court costs and in legal
i proceedings to outside attorneys, and
never won a case. And now Mr.
Ganty is threatening to institute suit
i for his salary. Was this business
like?
This paper had no intention of de
tracting front Ohas. McCallum’s vote
for City Councilman by publishing
the announcement that he had with
drawn from the ticket. The news
was brought to the office by a gentle
man who claimed to represent Mr.
iMcCallum, and we published it at his
‘solicitation. It was unethical in a
| way, as we should have had Mr. Mc
iCallum’s signature to the effect. The
■ Prospector desires to be accurate In
jits statements and if the report was
| unauthorized we tender our apolo
■ gies.
1 Time will show whether the Pros
pector has been accurate in giving
I lie news of the Wickersham-Shackle
ford combination, whereby the Dele
igate is ot receive the republican tioro
j ination for Delegate at the Seward
convention Jltis mouth. If the Dele
gate is to receive the republican nom
j readers will.know that we have given
: the news correctly and that the Dele
; gate’s alleged telegram denying the
proposed alliance was fabricated by
some of his admirers who'are'hot in
the Delegate’s confidence. ’ The news
came to us direct, both from Wash
ington and Juneau, and was reprint
ed without comment or bias. We
desire accuracy above political pref
erence, apd can assure onr, readers
that the political news is not vimped
from hearsay, but absolute facts, re
ceived from official centers in the
States and from Juneau.
