ENCORE!
Not wishing to detract trotu anything
that was said by other speakers at the
Elks' dedication services, says the Ju
neau Transcript, we desire to say that
the address made by Judge R. A. Gun
nison was one of the best we hare ever
listened to in Alaska. For the first
time since coming to the north, the
judge, in making his talk, seemed to
disrobe himself oi that formality and
studied diction which heretofore has
made his public speeches more after
the style of a lecture on constitutional
law, and take up his subject with that
earnestnes> aud zeal that made it burn
brilliantly with eloquence. His de
scriptive history of the order was in
tensely interesting and his eulogies of
the objects and purposes of It were
gems of literature and pearls of elo
quence. He didn't seem to take any
thing that he Tas saying under adviso
m^nt. but let it pour forth in volumes
of eloquence and purest diction, indica
tive of the fact that he had a vigorous
understanding of his subject. His
po>ver of expressing strong emotion
with fluency and force not only pleased
his audience but persuaded it to join
with him, heart and stul, in his lauda
tloos of tho R. P. O. K.
A SENATOR WHO IS TO AMUSE
A Washington dispatch of March 10,
says: "Senator Bourne says that unless
Roosevelt is nominated William Jen
nings Bryan wilt be the next president.
He >ays that next to Roosevelt he can
better carry out the principles adopted
by Roosevelt than any other man, as he
has preached them for the last ten
years, and the people believe in him."
This is just Mr. Bourne's aize. He
comes nearest to being the real thing
as a political ^mountebank now under
the public eye He is the weak sister
who cannot see the difference between
preaching and practice. Also the
diifierence between sayings "the
people believe iuhim" and "some
people believe in hire" wculd^have to
be pointed out to him with pains-tak
ing care. The people believe in Mr.
Bryan's honesty but that only some
p eople bilieve in bis ability, has
bsen absolutely demonstrated twice,
hut nobody believes in Mr. Bourne,
save his ability to amuse.
Tbe boats just now remind one of the
migratory birds just discovering our
prize 3fr?ng climate ? with a link
slipped now and tben which i9 imme
diately repaired. The Princess May
came in bright and early SaturJav with
a boat load of people and a lot of freight.
Then tbe Hombo'.dt nosed in with more
passengers and more freight. Tbe Far
a lou with freight dropped in like the
unexpected but welcome guest and she
was followed by the Henrietta which
had hardly lied up when the City of
Seattle does the unexpected after keep
ing people on tiptoe of expectation for
days. The Georgia dropped in and out
tbe day before, and tbe Dolphin
is within speaking distance. There
can't be too many boats? its the inter
vals between we object to.
After the incident at Denver, Saur
day, one cau gee the utility of keeping
Harry Orchard in reierve, rather thac
snuffing out bis candle. Harry is a good
murderer now. He would not escape
if be could. Indeed be is not s4fe from
the dynamiters even in a steel cell
and no doubt he tastes poison in every
thing be eats. It is reasonably certain
ho is getting something of what ia his
due besides religion. It is an open

MUSIC OF THE 'ft.-Y.-P. EXPOSITION
Special Correspondence
Seattle, March 25? E. N. Inne*. the
leader of the famous lores Band, has
been appointed director of music of
the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific Exposition,
which will be held at Seattle in 1909.
Already the committee oq music, of
which Joelah Collins is chairman, is
.irrauging to secure many noted bimds
and o her Kinds of musical organiza
tions to till engagements at the ex po
rtion. Director of Music Innes will
have charge of all the detail work in
connection with the management or
the musical programs acd will close
contracts with the different or^aniza
tlons.
It is the intention of the management
to have several famous band* playing
engagements at the same time during
the expositjon. In addition there will
be orchestra, organ, piano and vocal
concert*. Tin United States govern
ment is expected to send to the fair,
from time to time, military and naval
bands to give concerts In the govern
ment buildings. Several foreign bands
are now being negotiated for.
Innes' Band will play one engage
ment of about a n:onth long. The band
has played at all expositions held In
laf.e years.
question which Is t he mora refined pun
ishment, to bans him summarily or
keep him alive suffering the (ear of
death. But they ought to set him to
work. He has not. done anything but
kill people for a long time now.
THAT'S RIGHT
The Alaskans are courageous, clear
headed and warm-hearted. They are
free from the selfishness that often pot- .
sessea people in older communities.
Perhaps it is the risks they take; per- 1
haps it Is the long periods during which
they are remote from cities. At any kl
rate, they have the fellow-feeling that
makes them "wondrous kind.''? Ta- '

IKE LAW AS IT MAY BE SEEN
Stranger in Whisky Gulch: ? "What
are they moying the church for?"
"Well stranger, I'm the mayor ot
the diggin's an' I'm for law enforce
ment. We've got au ordinance which
says no saloons shall be uearer than
three hundred feet from a church, I
gave 'em three days to move the
church."? Judge.
Speaker Cannon is so *weet :*nd love_
able these days? he is willing to give
away everything he has in the House.
It is astonishing what a nice old man
it is. 'Er, no. it is not astonishiog,
either? when we give ourselves over to
deep thought, ss is our so frequent
habit.
That negro that was shot by a
congressman in a Washington street ?
car on Saturday is probably convinced '
today of tne utility of the Jim Crow i
law that is being urged in congress for
the District of Columbia. It compels
white men to keep in seperate cars
from the colored folks. ,
We have a limerick competition po
mp on in this town in which the com.
patitors furcish everything but lime
ricks. It. is like a pie-eating contest
wherein a competitor seeks to win the
prize by showing how well he can skate
backward on rough ice.
They ought to do all they knew how
to fix up that New York dynamiter '
Stlrersteio, and keep him living until
he is 110? unless they are disposed to ,
be merciful.
Those thieving bankers in Pittsburg <
made a virtue out of their crime by \
giving it tnat dignity that inheres in a 1
million dollars.

Women the Greater Dreamers.
A Vienna doctor has published the j
following figures: K
Thirteen men out of a huudred as
?igalnst thirty-three women dream dur
ing their sleep. The number of men t
who dream frequently is 27 per cent;
that of women Is 45 per cent. As a
general rule, it may be said that the 1
weaker sex has twice as much tend- .
ency to dreaming as the opposite'sex.
The cerebral phenomenon under cou- ,
slderatlon Is absolutely unkuown to 9
per cent, and 14 per cent dream only
very rarely.
It seems idle to add that the same
doctor noted, what Is perfectly well
known, that almost all our dreams are .

THE AUTOMOBILE
I come from haunts of stone and steel,
1 start with spurt and splutter,
[ give a lurch a?d then a reel,
Atd slow up at the gutter.
When to the busy streets I come,
1 make a sudden rally,
[ put a coal cart on the bum
Then skidoo up an alley.
And out again I snort and bow,
As if the fiend possessing?
For men may dodge me to and fro,
But I'll keep them a-guessing.
I turn, I twist, Incurve, I jump,
In vain to 8"ek a level
Up hill, down dale the ruts I bump
Behaving like the devil.
[ scoot along t country lane,
All pufling like (he dickens,
[ juggernaut a dog and maim
A score of ducks and chickens.
rheu out again I toot my toot,
Or houk in sundry phrases?
[ do a zigzag stunt and shoot
Away like Helen Blazes.
The country cop, when I have flown
Begins to swear and blubber,
In rage he seems to turn to stone,
And then he turns to "rubber."
At last to Philip's farm I come,
As fresh as any daisy?
Then I suddenly stop. And I s'.ay there
ujtil
Philip's team totes me back to town.
