Mr. Bryan says tho injunction plank
was.*>laced In tho republican platfonn
to fool wage-earners. It is Mr. Taft
that is running on this platform and it
la golden eagles that, so far as in him
lies, he will see that the platform is
fulfilled to the letter atd spirit. That
Is the satisfaction men have in voting
for A MAN? voting with knowledge
that their candidate Is a nun.
Well, well, let us tnsto a little of old
Spanish vintige to the bat>y and the
Queen? God bless us, what Is there lilce
a new baby to make all the world akin?

SHACKELFORD REPUDIATES THE PLATFORM IN COLO TYPE
''The representative from Nome rau out of car fare in
Seattle, and requests the aid of his fellow legislators to as
sist him on the last 2,000 miles of his journwy to the state
capitol. That is what might happen if they organize
Alaska into a state," declared L. P. Shackelford, delegate
from Alaska to the republican convention. "In good
weather the representative from Nome might make the 2, 400
mile overland trip to Juneau in three or four we -ks, but
ordinarily he would have to go by way of Seattle. With
no railroads and the present transportation rates between
some points, a man might find it a little expensive to be
elected to the legislature.
"The regular residents don't want a legislature; only the
summer Alaskans, who get back to a warm climate in win
ter demand it."
This is from the Chicago Record, a
newspaper with areputatijn for correct
reporting. Mr. Shackelford was in Chi
cago t?s a delegate to tbe national con
vention from Alaska when he made
this statement, deiegater from Gover
nor EToggatt's Ketchikan convention,
the same convention that nominated
Mr. Cow>n for delegate to congress,
the same convention THAT ADOPT
ED THAT TERRITORIAL GOVEN
MENT PLaSK upon which Mr. Cor
?<in is mak'ng his whirlwind campaign
in an effort to fool the people into a be
lief that he means it. Of course Mr.
Corson i* the ostrich in this cue
while he thinks he Is hiding we are all
laughing ? but is it not another ?ston
ithing exhibition of a series of sston
isning exhibitions of astonishing lnno-< ,
cence in the came of politics, that tbe (
leading figure of Governor Hoggatt's
convention should allow himself to be
set down in plain print especially de
nying the cardinal tenet of the plat
form upon which they are making (
their whirlwind campaign? (
Mr. Shackelford, of Juneau, went so
far east us Chicago and, finding him- |
self in a large city, and being so flatter
ed that a newspaper man should at- (
tempt to interview Lim he, wilhin two (
weeks of hav'n^ pledged himself to the
pla form of the republican party
o: Alaska, he expressly repudi
ates :: aid t? lis the reporter that
the me whoa be iefi b ck in the
wllde'c are not ripe- Now what do
you think of that '.' Is it i.ot delight
ful? He thought he w*s so far away
that he might swell himself in the
news,'*;. * tiid no one out here would
be the wiser. Is it not delightful?.
But there is a serious side to if.
There are goo : men here iu SVagway
who have such notions about "party
loyal'y" 'hat they seriously declare we
shou d l>e hound hy the action of the
Hoggatt convention because we are re- 5
publicans. One might as well say that
In order to be known as a good sport a
man must give up hi* money with
sweetness of temper though he saw bis
opponent take the uce from bis sleeve
and, being charged with it, the fellow
alm'tett the fact. Was there ever such
absurdity? Mr. Shackelford has to'd
us in cold print what we knew before
Raw Furs....

but Mr. Corson goes ahead thinking he
can fool at least some of the people.
The Alaskan is for tho republican plat
form -but it is not for the candidate
who eayshe is for it, that, being
elected upon the lie, may betray us.

Io an interview this morning Judge
Reid stated that he will not tolerate any
"hurrah" camps nor permit tho saloons
to derrade Alaskans and that saloon
man who strictly observe the law ?ill
receive the support of tho court. The
able jurUt leaves this evening for
Chicago, from whence he will go to
New York, later visiting his home io
Oklahoma.? Special cable to the Ju
neau Record.
There are no hurrah camps In Alaska
and never hare been save in a few in
stances at their beginnings and before
coastituted authority had a chance to
take hold. Certainly there is no hur
rah camp in Alaska now nor was there
when Judge Rt:d came here. Judpe
Reid is a judge and should, as such,
itand for justice. He is doing Alaska a
distinct injustice which all Alaskars
will resent when he allows himself to
be quoted in such fashion. As for
Judge Reid not allowing Alaskans to be
3egraded, it is not believable that he
?aid it, since he knows that Alaskans
h to been here a long time; that they
wero pretty (rood people when they cum
and most of 'em have been gotting bt t
tor all th? while.

MOTHER'S PIEPLANT PIE
Vew kin talk about th' biscuits that yer
mother used t' make,
Yew kin boast of bread an' shortcake
that yer granny used t' bake,
But they's nothln' starts me thinkin' o'
th' days that's gone forays
As that honeyed pilate tickler
mother's juicy pieplant pic.
Don't you know how pink -nd greenish
that there pieplant grew In
spring?
Then she'd git It, young and tender,
an' she'd peel It while she'd sing ?
An' the song she snng o' gladness, sor
ter croonin' like tiii ' high,
Used t' work right in an' flavor mother's
luscious pieplant pie!
Lor', I've et It when th' sweetness
sorter tickled down yer neck,
'Til ye felt it sloppln' over In yer heart,
about a peck!
Why! th' pie that mother m:dled, it
wuz sweeter than th' kiss
Frum th' lips of rosebud women In th'
land o' lover's bliss!
