THE HINDU'S EXPLANATION
The poor Hindu eras sadly out to It
to account for woman, lovely wouian,
but no more than many wiser ones
since his time says an exchange. Ac
cordi ?? 10 the legend, Twashtrl, the
Vulcan of Hindu mythology, created
the world, but when he arrived at the
final object which was to be his chef
d'cvuvre he fouod to his annoyance
that he bad run out of materials.
He had not a chunk of solid matter left.
With a mental execration upon his
carelessness he fell into a profound
meditation, the result of which was
that he took, "the roundness of the
moon, the undulating curves of the ser
pent, the graceful twist of the creeping
plant, the light shivering of the grass
blade and the slendernessof the willow,
the velvety -ofteness of the flowers, the
lightness of the feather, the gentla
gaz; of the doe, the frolicsomness of
the sunbeam, the tears of the cloud, the
the inconstancy of the wind, the tim
idity of tho hare, the vanity of the pea
cock, the hardness of the diamond,
the cruelty of the tiger, the heat of the
fire, the chill of the snow, the cackling
of the parrot and the cooing of the
turtle dove."'
He mined these together In equal
p.'rtiom and the result was woman.
After all. demands the Kansas City
Journal, isn't this an advance upon the
rib theory?

THE SHOCK OF A WHIRLWIND CAMPAIGN
A despatch from Seattle today advises us that Governor
Hoggatt has reached that place on his way back from Wash
ington and will soon be at the capital of Alaska which he
has not seen for six months. The governor <4is full of fight
for Corson" according to the brief despatch. He declares
''the home rule contingent is composed of the saloon ele
ment;" and that that element favors home rule "because it
wishea to see the dives and gambling hells reopened " Mr.
Hoggatt is going to see that no such thing happens in this
country if he can help it. He secured the nomination of
John W. Corson at Ketchikan and is full of fight to secure
his election. The brief despatch does not say so ? our tele
graph service up here is necessarily brief and to the point ?
but the conclusion is unavoidable that he is fighting for the
election of John W. Corson to secure the ends which he has
so much at heart. Governor Hoggatt evidently believes
that the mining magnates with whom he comes in contact,
constitute the real people of Alaska. As for the rest it is
the SALOON ELEMENT. Governor Hoggatt thinks we
should be protected against this element and he is going to
see to it. He is going to fight for John W. Corson ? that's
the first thing to be done to head off home rule. Anybody
can see that.
We have Mr. Corson with us in the act of conducting
his whirlwind campaign. He came to town last night ac
companied by a contingent of expensive boosters, Charlie
Sullivan, lawyer, some years ago of Nome but for the last
several years of Seattle, Charlie Wells of Juneau, Harry
Steel, formerly of Nome and now of Seattle. These form
part of the machinery of the "whirlwind campaign" where
by Governor Hoggatt's candidate hopes to enlist the votes
of the people of Alaska ? the people of Alaska, who are
used rather to simple and direct methods, sincerity of pur
pose and just plain truth. Governor Hoggatt himself is op
posed to home rule and believes that none here are in favor
of it save the SALOON ELEMENT. His candidate will
tonight, 011 the platform, declare he is in favor of home
rule, and, if elected, would work for it. Alas.
