A COWARDLY ASSAGLT.
Most men with ml corpt!?.cH?s In 1
their vein* are agreed that ihero arel
times when physical vlolenoe is Just
ifiable. but few men ean bo found ;
who will condone the attack of anj
i.rmed man against a man who taj
wholly unsuspecting and unprepared
Such an act Is the acme of ooward
lce; it is *?rst\ for It shows that
the assaulter is utterly devoid of the i
common instinct* of gentility or fair,
pi*y.
For about two years Ous O'Brien
has done the dirty work for the
-,oo?rt house gang" at Juneau, the
little ellqae who would dominate Alas
ka and all things Alaskan. O'Brien
has written their scurrilous attacks,
has played the part of a spy. has
perrormed the more menial political
tasks for them, all with a certain de
gree of success: for by nature O'Rri.tl
is well equipped for the low and dirty
sphere which he fills.
Rut O'Rrien's dastardly attack on
Rd Russell of The Juneau Dispatch,
whom he wantonly assaulted with
brass knuckles, the weapons of the
strong arm man and thnii. have put
O'Brien utterly beyond the pale of
decent men and it will be well
for O'Brien and well for his lords and
masters if they dispense with his fu-j
tare services.
It is true that O'Brton was probably :
Influences.! by the example of C. M.
Summers, president of the First Na
tional Rank of Juneau. who on two
separate occasions has assaulted a Ju
t?M newspaperman *ho Incurred his
animosity. Summers, who is a burly
ex-athlete, weighing in the neighbor
hood of 220 pounds, seems to be * !
believer in the physical supremacy."
but with judicious aforethought has
always picked smaller men for his
victiM. O'Brien, who Utcfcs the ro I
business of the hanker -heavy weight,
m;ninMzes matters by carrying "th>
difference."
It is about time that a halt is cal - j
l?-d upon the high handed tactics of the
Juaeati hierarchy. Not content with
dominating the politics of the First
district hy fair means or foul. th?y
employ O'Brien to attack through
the columns of the Record such men
as cannot be coerced into line. Judfie
Gunnison, Marshal Shoup. District
Attorney Royce, all in turn have been >
the targets for O'Brien's venom
The fact that Henry Shattack.
clerk of the Hrit division court, aki
ed and abetted O'Brien in his attack]
to the extent of retarding the officer'
who tried to separate the combat
anUi, speaks for Itself.
The whole episode is charactwis
ttc of the men involved. What morel
need be said*
"ALL RIGHT"? POR WHO?
BY GILSON GARDNER.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.? Twenty
minutes after the tariff bill bad pas
?ed the senate, a telegram signed
"Xelsor. W. AkJrich," and addressed
"J. Werpoat Morgan, on board yacht I
Corsair. "Wt the capital It road: I
"BiU passed this afternoon, j
Everything all rlghL FNlow- 1
ing Republicans voted against '
bill : Beveridge. Clapp. Ottm- j
mins, Bristow, IVdlivar, La- j
Pollette, Nelson."
The telegram an I the fact that
?och a telegram was sent tell their .
own story. Kxt ended comment ts
superfluous
While this telegram was poing over
tbe wires Senator 1-aFoJlette was say- ?
Ing to the nenate:
-Pe<weeti now and Call I shall
?peak many time* on this tariff bfll
?to the people."
Aidrirh ret*orts to his constituent
by wireless on * board hi* private
yacht Corsair.
LaFollette reports to his consti
tuents from the lecture platform.
From Morgan'* point of view, "ev
erything i? all right."
From the people's point of view ?
well, how about it?
KING AND KID.
The kin? sat up on his Jeweled
throne, and he heaved & sigh that wa
like a groan, for hta crown wa* hard,
and it bruised hi* head, and hia scep
ter welgh<M like a pig of lead; the
ladtas smirked a* they caiue to beg;
Uh> knlghta were pulling the royal
tag. The king exclaimed: "If 1 had
my wish, 1 would cut this out and I'd
ICO ami fiah. For what i* pomp to a
weary *oul that yearns and yearns for
the fishing hole; the throne'a a bore
and the crown a gawd, and I'd swap
the lot for a bamboo rod, and a can
ot worms and a piece of string ?
but there's no such luck for a poor
oM king!" And a boy who passed
by the palace high, to fish for trout
in the streamlet nigh, looked up in
awe at the massive walls, and caught
a glimpse of the marble halls, and ho
said to himself: "Oh, hully Chee!
wlsht I was the king and the king
was me! To reign all day with your
crown on straight is a whole lot bet
ter'n dlggin'balt, and rlsh'n round
when the fish won't bite, and glttln'
licked for your luck at night!" ? Walt
Mason.
The manufacturers of adulterate
food are making another effort to
neoure the acalp of Dr. Wiley at the
food commissioners convention which
open* at TVnver today, nr. Wiley
haa done a (treat work in fighting
against the manufacture and sale of
Impure and adulterated food. It is
hardly Ukoly that the manufacturers
will b? able to accomplish his re
moval.
But we? Another shift of scene.
Another pang to wreck Ibo heart;
Why meet wv on the bridge of Ttane
To change one greeting and to part?
The Kasidah.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT
MAKE IF A FEW TEETH ARE
MISSING?
A very considerable difference.
Kven the loss of a single tooth is a
serious matter. According to sclentl
ric authority, cver>' tooth lost means
the loas of a year of lite. If only one
tooth la lacking, some portion of the
! food will oacape thorough chewing,
articles of food will remain and aet
l up decay, and tt will b* much more
| difficult to keep the teeth clean.
