ALAS! FOR HUMAN FRAILTY!
We are grievously disappointed.
Last Saturday we discerned in the
editorial columns of our esteemed
contemporary, The Juneau Record, an
unacknowledged poem. Naturally
tnough we inferred that Editor O'
Brien was the author, and, acting up
on this assumption, we published a
portion of the repentant poetry ? then
accepted Gustavus at his word,
promptly burled the hatchet and~ex
tended to him the cordial right hand
of fraternal fellowship.
All in vain! All in vain!
Sunday, while perusing certain pag
ts of poetry, we discovered the self
same verses; but, gentle reader ? we
shudder to reveal such perfidy ? the
author was ? ; not A. R. O'Brien, but
Sam Walter Foss.
We are disappointed, we are hurt,
chagrined. Not only because we
thought Editor O'Brien's ethical stand
ards were far too lofty to permit him
to plagarize, to put the matter plainly
but because we now know the repent
ant phrases did not express his yearn
ing for the better way.
No longer can we refer to him as
Optimistic O'Brien ? he still must be
Gloomy Gus.
POSSIBILITIES ARC WONDERFUI
Id another column is published an
article which gives in cold facts and
figures the yield which Charles An
way obtained from a one-eighth of an
acre tract of strawberries. Wonder
ful strawberries can be raised at
Haines and the local market is good,
for the steamships alone will purchase
hundred* of quarts. There is little
likelihood of the market ever be
coming overstocked.
There are great possibilities in
raising small garden truck and fruits,
around Haines. The time may come
when the Haines berries will be eag
erly sought on the Seattle, Tacoma
Portland markets, and when scores
of fruit growers are wresting a living
out of the soil in this manner.
The Pioneer Press has always con
tended that Haines is surrounded by
some very fine farming land, espec
ially adapted for the small rancher. ?

OPEN CONFESSION.
I like to gather rocks and pitch
them at the people who are rich.
1 find that when I'm feeling gay, and
wish to make a grandstand play, there
J* no scheme that better draws,
there's nothing brings me more ap
plause. than heaving cabbages or cats
and knocking ,down some plutocrats.
I don't amount to much myself; I've
no offensive pile of pelf; I've failed
in fifty-seven ways; disaster's tagged
me all my days. I was the Jonah of
my town, in youth, and have not lived
It down; now near the bottom of
Life's hill, I'm something of a Jonah
*till; but now and then 1 throw a fit
and roast the rich, and make a hit.
I say that I'm reduced to need by
corporation and greed; the money
barons of the East have robbed my
children of their feast; and they, with
hearts as hard as stones, have mocke
my. poor old granny's groans; they
put a~ mortgage on my cot, and stole
the cistern from my lot. And all the
failures gather near, and wave their
hats and cry; "Hear, hear!" And
all the Jonahs wring my hand, and
aay I'm sent to save the land! ? Walt
Mason.
WILL TEDDY SUCCEED TAFT?
VANCOUVER, a C., Sept. 4.?
"Roosevelt will succeed Taft," said
Governor Dlneen of Illlnolse to the
Vancouver World this morning. Gov
ernor Dlneen arrived hero yesterday
cn his way to the Seattle exposition.
"Roosevelt has a grip on the peopj.1!
whls has never been equalled," he
said. "The American people know
that they can rely , upon hiui all
through to look after their best inter
ests. Another thing which caught tho
public admiration was his defiance of
precedent. The Americans like none;
so much as the man who succeeds,
and Roosevelt was always success- '

A NOBLE RULE OF LIFE.
To live content with small means:
to seek elegance rather than luxury:
and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable; and!
wealthy, not rich: to listen to stars !
and birds, babes aud sages, with openj
heart: to study hard, to think quietly,
act frankly, talk gently; await occa
sions, hurry never; in a word, to letj
the spiritual, unbidden and uncon
scious grow up through the common ? I
that is my symphony. ? W. H. Chan
ning.

the Commercial Club tonight.
