Refeirmg to the late convention, the
Juneau Transcript says:
"Poor old Ketchikan! She wa? prom
ised everything, and on these promises
she tied up with a people 3000 milca
away from her, but when the plums fell
they took a long wistful look into their
basket? but there was nothing in it."
This h? very true. The error Ketchi
kan made was in tying up wish the
northern delegates? with as poor a rep
resentative bunch of statesmen as could
anywhere be encountered, but at that,
The Alaskan thinks It was a toes up as
to which would have been more repre
sentative, the "Dick" Ryan aggrega
tion from Nome or the Democrats and
representatives of the Trtadwell and
Perseverance mines who appeared for
Juneau.
A KANK OF HAIR
The Bradfey-Brown murder case,
now before a Washington City court, is
bringing out nothing more sensational
than the details so often rehearsed o!
man's perfidy and woman's weakness
combined in vio'ating the law upon
which all organized society rests. The
story will be pathetic in many of its de
tails; the old, old story always is. But
through it runs such a broad line of
folly and shame and pertidy and pity
for the principals in the tale ? the man
wno is dead and the woman who killed
him? is lost in disgust. Sympathty
finds legitimate exercise in the case of
the two bright little boys who were
bora to this shameless couple, in that
the unnatural father utterly repudiat

ed thcT claim upon him and the doubly 1
disgracod mother faces a felon's fate.
Herein lies the tragedy of the tale '
whatever the outcome of the trial may '
be,
IT DOES NOT KNOW
The following is taken from the Ju
neau Record:
"The Alaskan became very iodi nant
because the Georgia did not make a
special trip to bring that delegation to
the convention, and denounce* the man
agement in the moat pungent rhetoric.
But why should the Georgia make a
special trip for the Skagway delega
tion rather than the Sitka delegation ?
Why didn't the Skagway delegation
come on the Fox along with the Haines,
Esgle River and other delegations ?"
As Is the usual wont of the reptile
press, it gets off wrong in the present
instance as it does in almost every j
other. Ibis newspaper criticized the
management of the GeorRia, not for
what it failed to do in the way of tak
ing delegates to the convention, but for ,
the slip shod manner in vrhlch it ad- |
hertd to its alleged sailing schedule, j
The Alaskan at the time it ran the artl
cle was making a stand for the good of
its town residents. The Record never |
doing such a thing is, of course, not In
a position to understand the merits of
the case, hence it were idle to go far
ther with the mailer.
THE ARCH DENIER
Some time ago the Fairbanks News 1
allowed Governor Boggatt to hand In a
type written interview in which he stat
ed his position In reference to territorial
government. After the article ap
peared, just as he tiad written it, dov
ernor Hoggatt denied it and claimed
the piece had been purposely garbled
This brought the following from the
News:
'?Recalling the fact that Governor
Boggatt has persistently said he gov
the worst of It from the press of Alas
ka, knowing that he got a tquare deal
Id the News interview we do not hesi
tate to say that he is of too small a cal
ibre? il the Dlspaoh Interview Is true
?to be at the head of a band of In
dians, let alone 40,000 live Americans.
"If the Dispatch quotes him correct
ly, we brand him a* an unqualified fal
sifier undeserving of the courtesy ex
tended him by the News, unworthy the
respect of the peoplo and oertalnly de
serving of not even charity by the press
of Alaska "
Very likely when Governor Hoggatt
saw bis Ideas in cold type and recog"
nlzed how at variance with conditions
they were, the Governor side-stepped
his interview on general principles
saw how untenable his position whs
and, liice the letter ho wrote Presldsnt
Roosevelt, denied it.
HARD TO PLEASE
Advices fiouu Kentucky aiei to the
effect that the democra's will not con
test the recent election and that the
State will bo allowed to remain Re
publican for the next few years at
least.
Kentucky gone republican! Will
wonders never ceas ? Some of the old
original Ken ucky colonels are now
considering tnovi^j out of the state.
But these Kentucky Colonels must
needs be hard to please. No wh6re in
the world are the firesides anv cheer
ier; the horses any faster; the women
any fairer, or the whiskey any better
than in Old Kentucky and this
quartet of charms certainly should
hold spellbound even a d sgusted,
dyed in ?he wool democrat.

According to Judge Wickersham
Alaska is already under territorial gov
ernment and doesn't need any particu
lar legislation In order to accomplish
the very things for which ;he Juneau
convention contended. According to
the Judge Alaska is as much of a terri
tory of the United States as Washing
ton was before statehood, and if that be
true thon there is no reason why a gov-*
ernor should not bo appointed to co-op -
crate with the legislature to be elect

GOING TO BE FINED
When George Ade was a newspaper
reporter he was sent to "write up" an
Irish laborer who had fallen from a
building. When Mr Ade arrived on
the scene, several officers and others
were helping the injured man Into the
ambulance. Mr. Ade pulled out h s
pad and pencil. "What's his nam<.V"
he ask.d one of the policemen.
The Injured man, who had beard Ade
and w.to mistook him for the timekeep
er employed by the contractor, rolled
hl9 eyes In a disgusted way.
"What d'ye think o' that?-' he mut
tered. "I'm goin' to be docked for the
