A WARNING TO ALASKA.
Tbe frightful conditions at Seattle
where graft, bribery, corruption and
lawlessness of all sorts resulting from
the efforts of the authorities to en
force the prohibition law shouid be n
warning to the people of Alassa.
This condition at Seattle—where it
is admitted that vice flourishes thru
(ut the city, that intoxicating liquors
are being sold illicitly everywhere,
that $50,000 is being monthly con
tributed in bribes for protection,
where police officers and parasites are
equally involved in a carnival of cor
ruption—is in a country where the
authorities have all the powers of
State, County and City governments
behind them; governments that are
old-established and in smooth work
ing order with powers clearly de
fined.
In the light of Seattle’s experience
under conditions there, what might
we expect with prohibition in Alaska?
No one has any authority here to pre
vent crime. We have only power to
punish criminals—and then only after
a grand jury has Indicted. A "dry
squad" would be impossible in this
Territory. The Legislature has no
power to prohibit the importation of
liquor. There is a great deal of un
certainty as to whether or not it has
power to prohibit its sale. The peo
ple of the Territory are struggling
now over the forms and powers of
government. They are seeking to se
cure the necessary authority to gov
ern themselves at all. We have no
Jurisdiction over our schools outside
of the municipalities. We have no
power to raies the revenues that are
necessary to conduct our municipal
governments and municipal schools
except under restrictions made by
Congress—restrictions that would
make our funds inadequate without
the revenues from the liquor licenses.
We have no authority to create coun
ty governments with their police pow
ers. We are laboring with the very
simplest problems of government. We
are in the early childhood of govern
mental development. We have not
got self-government launched in the
Territory.
To inject the problem of prohibi
tion, with all that it involves, includ
ing invested money and property in
terests, into such a situation as exists
in Alaska at this time would be the
height of folly. It would be foolish
to the point, of criminality. It would
impair the chance of any immediate
settlement of the first steps in gov
ernment.
In Alaska it is not a question as to
whether prohibition is right or wrong.
We bave not reached that point. It
is a question of placing a task on gov
ernmental machinery that is too weak
for it to perform, and having the li
quor traffic running riot instead of
being controlled. Prohibition would
be like turning reservoirs into pipes
that are Incapable of pressure. It
would be a Johnston flood.
Self-protection and common sense
demand that the people of Alaska vote
down prohibition in Alaska next
month regardless of what they might
think of the liquor traffic.—Juneau
Empire.
WE ARE AFTER THE MONEY.
WE UNDERSTAND certain parties
around town are stating that the
Prospector refuses to publish any
thing concerning Mr. Wlckersham,
and that we have refused to print cer
tain documents regarding the Dele
gate. We again remark that we are
here to run a newspaper. The Dele
gate's friends are as welcome to air
their opinions in our advertising col
umns as the friends of Mr. Sulzer,
and upon the same basis, fot cash.
Mr. Sulzer and the Democratic party
pay for the support they receive from
the Prospector and it is no more than
right that Mr. Wlckersham do the
same. Any time that any of Mr.
Wlekersham's friends desire publicity
at twenty-five cents per inch we will
be delighted to give it to them, and
will give it to them. We have given
Mr. Wlckersham no favorable pub
licity for the reason that he has adopt
ed a pinch-penny policy with the
press of Alaska, and prefers to have
the goverument frank his campaign
literature to the voters. There is no
paper in the Territory, Wlckersham or
anti-Wickersham, that will refuse to
publish paid advertisl ig, for any can
didate. To do so would be unethical
and unbusinesslike.
The primary object of a aewr.paper
is to make money. It may have its
choice of candidates, Jaut more often
supports a different man because it Is
paid to do so. We are trying to con
duct a paper on the same plan that
a merchant conducts a business, and
expect the same reasonable profit for
our material and labor.
The only reason we have tun no
Wlckersham advertising Is because
lone of his adherents have been will- 1
ng t<? shoulder the thankless but
len of spending private monev to se
cure hta election, and the Republican i
3lub will not boost the Delegate so
long as he plays with the 8cilallsts
ind Democratic-Progressives.
Once more we state that if Mr.
Wlckersham or any of Mr. Wicker
sham's friends feel like boosting the
Delegate at 25c per inch, our regular
price, they are welcome to the use
of our columns, subject to the same
restrictions we impose upon the other
candidates; that Is, that nothing libel
ous Is published, and that the partv
assume responsibility for his state
ments.
SOMETIMES the canard acts as a
boomerang. The Seward Post made
a vicious attack upon the Road Com
mission and several Seward mer
chants who place the development of
Alaska ahead of politics, ."topped
around to the newspaper office and
took several hundred dollars worth
of advertising away from the obnoxi
ous yellow sheet. Their contention
was that there should be no quarrel
with Alaska’s payrolls, and that a
paper which knocked one of our prin
cipal industries was a detriment .■*
the community. And when y >u com >
to think of it It is a despicable trick
on the part of both the Delegate and
the paper to try to embarrass a Gov
ernment enterprise intended '.o work
to the development of our Territory.
NOW that Mr. Wlckersham has
stated over his own signature Mint he
is working earnestly to secuie the
election of none but Republicans for
members of the Territorial legisla
ture where are our Progressive-Dem
ocratic friends coming off at? Is the
Delegate giving his backers the usual
XX? Can he pledge his faith to Jeter
in Anchorage and to Dieringer in Vnl
dez at the same time? At his famous
banquet in Anchorage he stated that.
"Anchorage should have the Road
Commissioner, and we must do all i
our power to elect Mr. Jeter.” Where
does Valdez get ofT in case Mr. Jeter
is elected?
. m T
IP someone would muzzle the Del
egate he would stand a much better
chance of election. His attacks on
Alaskan payrolls are hurting him in
the estimation of his hearers. It is
neither manly nor indicative of good
breeding to make vicious personal at -
tacks upon men employed l;y the
Government. As an official, repre
senting the Territory’s interests in
the capital it is obligatory upon him
to make charges against an> other
official he finds derelict in his duties.
Personal invectives settle no argu
ments and simply disgust an audi
ence.
WHEN the Delegate made his bit
ter attack upon Colonel Richardson
at Seward he stated that there should
be an investigation made of the ex
penditure of the funds of the Road
Commission, “but unfortunately the
books were burned at the time of the
great fire.” And no one knew this
better than Mr. Wickersham This
is the man’s calibre; his Idea of the
dignity due a superior officer. He
made his charges knowing that they
could not be proved or disproved and
taking a chance that he could get a
vote by knocking.
WE would respectfully call the
attention of the? powers that be to the
deplorable condition of the cross
walks, particularly on McKinley
street. When the streets were filled
in last spring the road was raised
somewhat higher than the crosswalks,
consequently at this time the walks,
from constant travel, are filled with
water and mud to a depth that makes
their use unpleasant to say the least.
PERHAPS the most foolish thing
yet advocated by Wickershain’s pa
pers is the agitation for the grand
Jury now in session to examine Col.
Richardson's books to see that the
funds have been properly expended.
Next thing Wickersham will be call
ing for an Alaska grand jury to ex
amine the books of the United States
treasury. It would have equal juris
diction in either case.
THE news dispatches state that a
young man armed with a knife and
a bottle of unknown fluid tried to kill
the President at Pittsburg yesterday.
The unknown fluid probably was
whisky. The Presidential body guard
have been Imbibing grape jt ice so
long they have lost all recollection of
the appearance of joy-juice.
SINCE the Delegate’s visit to the
westward both the Seward Port and
Anchorage Times have been lambast
ing the Road Commission daily. We
do not know whether this is a coin
cidence or a plot to detract attention
from the Delegate's record.
WHILE it Is a matteV of supreme
indifference to us who represet,ts the
Territory the more we hear of the
Vreeent Incumbent’s methods of elec
tioneering the more pleased we are
that he will not be the man.
WITH an alliance of Democratic
Progressives, Socialists, I. W. W.’s,
and antis, where does the Republican
vote come In for the Delegate?
IF ANANIAS had ‘lived in these
days our Delegate would havj had a
good running mate.

MARK TWAIN STORIES.
An Unintended Joke and a Bit ef the
Humorist’a Wit.
England fairly reveled In Mark
Twain. At oue of the great banquets
a roll of the distinguished guests was
called and the names properly ap
plauded. Mark Twnln, busily engag
ed In low conversation with his neigh
bor, applauded without listening, vig
orously or mildly as the others led.
Finally a name was followed by a
great burst of long and vehement clap
ping. This must be some very great
person Indeed, and Mark Twain, not
to be outdone In his approval, stoutly
kept his hands going until all the oth
ers had finished.
“Whose name wna that we were Just
applauding?" he asked of bis neighbor.
"Mark Twain's!"
But It was no matter—they took It all
as one of his Jokes.
lie was a wonder and a delight to
them. Whatever he did or said was
to them supremely amusing. When on
one occasion a speaker humorously re
ferred to his American habit of carry
ing a cotton umbrella, bis reply that be
did so because It wus the ouly kind of
an umbrella that an Englishman
wouldn’t steal was repeated all over
England next dny as one of the finest
examples of wit since the days of
Swift.—ralne’s “Boys' Life of Mark
Twain" In St. Nicholas.
USE OF THE TOOTHBRUSH.
It Was Unknown In England In Lord
Chasterfield’s Tima.
When did the English first adopt the
toothbrush habit, which In recent
times has been denounced by certain
medical authorities? In “Esmond"
Thackeray makes Lord Castlewood
spend “a tenth part of his day in the
brushing of his teeth and the oiling of
his hair,” and In doing so the novelist
commits a double anachronism.
During the first half of the eighteenth
century all fine gentlemen wore wigs
and had no use for oil on their hair,
while the toothbrush was so late as
1754 unknown to Lord Chesterfield.
Writing to his sen. Chesterfield says:
“I hope you take great care of your
mouth and teeth and that you clean
them well every morning with a sponge
and tepid water, with a few drops of
arquebusade water dropped Into It. I
do insist upon your never using those
sticks or any hard substance whatever,
which always rub away the gums and
destroy the varnish of the teeth."—
London Saturday Review.
Poisoning as a Diversion.
Poisoning is never likely ugaln to lie
come u fashionable diversion, as it
was from time to time in ancient
Rome. In B. C. 331. for Instance,
there was a mysterious pestilence
which seemed to be particularly fatal
to leading men. At lust a slave girl
gave information to the authorities,
and a consequent police rnid resulted
In the discovery of about twenty ma
trons, some of them of high patrician
fumtiles, busily preiatring drugs over
a Ore. They insisted that the drugs
were not poisonous, but, being com
pelled to drink them publicly in the
forum ns a guarantee of good faith,
perished miserably. Further Informa
tions followed, and 170 matrons In all
were condemned. But this record was
soundly beaten In B. C. 184, when a
four months’ Inquiry by the praetor is
said to have led to the condemnation
of 2,000 persons.
A Resourceful Badger.
An English artist while painting a
sea piece discovered a badger's lair
and thought to play the animal a pruc
tlcal Joke. Gathering together a bun
die of gruss and weeds, be placed It in
side the mouth of the hole aud, igniting
it with a match, waited for the igno
mlnlous flight of the astonished house
holder. But Master Badger was a re
sourceful animal and not disposed to be
made a butt of practical Jokers. He
came up from the depths of bis bole
as soon as the penetrating smoke told
him that there was a Are on the prem
ises and deliberately scratched earth
on the burning grass with his strong
claws until all danger was past. No
human being could have grasped the
situation more quickly or displayed
greater skill in dealing with an un
familiar event.
The First 8took Exchange.
Tbe Stock Exchange did not call It
self by that name till neatly the end
of the eighteenth century. A newspa
per of July IB, 1773, tells us how the
name of their place of business was
altered by resolution from “ 'New .Iona
lhan’s' to The Stock Exchange' which
Is to be wrote over the door. The bro
kers then collected sixpence each and
christened the house with punch.”—

KLRCTRIC LAMP
Thirty-nine years ago today, The.
V Edison, the greatest living inven
tor, gave to the world the first elec
tric lamp. As a commercial proposi
tion the lamp was not a succcs, but
t burned for forty hours before the
liflment burned out, and demonstrat
ed that the Incandescent lamp was
possible. Today It Is in universal use.
"The first thing to Mo was to find
out what was the best material to
use for a light producer,” began Mr.
Edison. "I soon made up my mind
that of all the materials I could ob
tain In 1877 carbon was the most
promising. Paper, jute, palm fiber,
grasses, tissue paper coated with tar
and rolled into thin sticks, charcoal,
hemp—everything. In a word, was
tried. Finally on October 21, 1879, I
carbonised a piece of cotton sewing
thread bent Into a loop and sealed it
in a glass globe from which the
air had been pumped out. When the
'current was turned on, that black
thread glowed for 40 hours. Th-«t
; was really the first incandescent elec
tric lamp. It couldn't he put on the
market of course, but it showed un
mistakably that electricity could be
used for incandescent lighting. I
spent about $40,000 in bringing the
investigation up to that point, and yet
in a wny, this was only the begin
ning. A little later ve placed sev
eral hundred paper filament lamps on
the market. So I began a hunt for
the right kind of carbon. Men were
sent all over the world to collect
grasses and fibers that looked prom
ising for work. They brought back
several hundred and out of the lot
I selected a certain kind of namboo
that grows in Japan. We made flla
n ents out of that for nine years.”
In the few words Mr. Edison tells
the story of the first electric lamp.
The twenty-first dny of Oc.tobfi, no\.'
known as “Edison Day.” is the birth
day of the electric Incandescent lamp.
Edison's famous exhibition of a
complete electric lighting system,
when the laboratory grounds \ ere il
luminated by 700 lamps, took place
lnte in December, 1879, and attract
ed thousands of visitors from all over
the country. The lamp itself >vas but
a small part of the inventive work
necessary to develop the new lighting
system. It was also necessary to de
vise and develop wiring systems, in
sulation materials, sockets, fixtures,
measuring instruments and a host of
things necessary for the new work.
More than all this, it was quite nec
essary to devise the special machine!'"
required to insulate the wires, to
make the porcelain parts of the wir
ing devices, to stamp out and inukc
the sockets, fixtures and everything
else.
The growth of electric lighting
after 1880 was very rapid. Lamp
costs were materially reduced. In
1891 the cellulose or “squirt” process
of making lamp filaments was intro
duced, and after 1893 electric lamp
filaments of bamboo were no longer
made. Experiments w ih filai'entso:
rare metals began In 1898 but it was
not until the metal tantalum was tried
out in 1901 thnt the possibilities of
the unknown metals became appar
ent. \ few years later the first tanta
lum lamps were made and were al
most as quickly superseded bv lung
sten. which was first used in 1907.
