WAR: WAR! WAR!
After a long period of comparative
peace, again the dogs of WW have
been unloosed among the Juneau Joui?
aals and again Editors Ullrich juul
Russell have turned the vials of their
wrath upon Gloomy Gus. while he.
like a cuttle-fish, obscures himself
and the issue in a uiurky cloud of
ink.
The causus belli is that Henry
Shattuck, clerk of the district court,
gave The Juneau Record the contract
for printing the official court calendar
for 4'>0 without calling for bids. The
Transcript and Dispatch are naturally
shocked, peeved, disgruntled, dis
gusted, outraged, angry, vexed, mad
and sore at this proceedure and they
flay Gloomy Gus. Henry Shattuck.
Judge Lyons. Gov. Hoggatt and sever
al others for being parties iu this)
great conspiracy tending to defraud
the free aud independent press.
Gloouiy Gus, oil the other hand, as
serts that last year wheu the rival pa j
pers bid. they placed the bids at an
exorbitant figure and that they were'
eliminated this year ou account of |
this.
Then come the inevitable and ted
ious personalities which also follow !
when Gloomy Gus and ami the other J
Juneau scribes unliuibcr their bat
teries.
As a matter of fact, however, the
letting of the contract without the
calling of bids was a high handed j
piece of work on ShattiK-k's part. It
shows that he is subservient to O'
Brien and it shows that O'Brien is
still the hired tool of the court house
rang in Juneau.
Shattuck's appointment by Judge i
Lyons caused some unfavorable com
ment. If Shattuck makes many more
fimilar breaks he will cast doubt up
on the sincerity <>f the declaration of
I.yons "to favor no person or parly."
And meanwhile the battle rages.
CHEAPER CABLE RATES.
When the newspapers of a state
get together in demanding reforms,
it does not take long for the public
to get educated up to the necessity
for such changes and the trick Is
turned. Just at present the news
patters of Alaska want a cheaper t a
ble rate for the transmission of news.
They want the rate cheapened so
they can issue newspapers that are
equal to those in the states. The
question is its Important to tin- render
?n it Is to the editor, and the two
must co-operate if the r<>d action is
to bo He cured. We want everyone
who rcadtt this to write a letter to
General hYankllti Itell of tile War
Department, Washington, l> and
n*k lit in to take the matter up for
consideration. Give your reasons for
silking a reduction. Alimkii Is furu
Islilng a large revenue to the govern
ment through the operation of the
cable and some of it should be Justly
returned In furnishing a way for the
wldig- disMeuiknatloii of news. The
new* pa pern will not make a dollar by
the transaction, they will simply print
more news. It may mean a few hours
more work per week for the cable
operators, but they are accustomed to
long hours of toll and will not mind
It. Patriotism with them is a religion
and they will rejoice In doing this ex
tra work for the public weal.? Ketchi
kan Miner.
GAY PARENTS.
The children of our neighborhood
don" train their parents as they
should, they lot the latter go their
gait, and do not try to keep them,
straight, and so those giddy parents
toani, at sinful hours away from
homo. Thoy try to cheer their fool
ish hearts, Joy-riding In the devil
i&rts; or you will fluU, when they are
missed, that they are playing bridge
01 whist, or wasting all ho golden
day in some absurd and useless way.
When 1 was youug 1 seldom saw a
sporty pa or giddy ma; the children
ot that older day had parents tutored
to obey; the mothers seldom left
their tubs to fool arouud at euchre
clubs, and father* wheu ;he day was
deiui, took of their rags and went to
bed. Ah, seldom then were childrou
seen, with furrowed brow and sombre
mcin, distraught by gallvautiug dads,
or mas who played tile cards for
scads! Oh, children, to yourselves be
true! ltoiuid up the galivanting crew
ol pa run Is who are trotting fast, be
fore it is too everlast-ing late to give
the bunch a chance; come forth, oil
children from your iranco! ? Walt
Mason.
AT ONE PLUNK A WORD.
Kooscvek is said to receive $1 a
word for a series of articles on his
African hunting expedition which will
appear in Harpers Magazine upon his
return. The following verse by Jlui
uiy Foley is self explanatory :
We saw (two plunks) a buck (that's
four)
And then tsix dollars please)
1 fired (that's eight) a shot (two more
And brought him to his knees.
The hunting scene (that makes nine
teen)
Is something really fine;
The Jungle's all a vivid green,
(I think that's twenty-nine.)
Tonight we lie beneath the sky,
(One, two, three, four, five, slx:>
It's great, (seven, eight); the moon
is high,
The woods full of big sticks!
So what we do (that's twenty-two)
Let's do with all our might.
(Come, Kermit, count, wliate'er you do
Yes, twenty-eight is right!)
'Tis groat sport, (luy words aro short
But why should 1 waste ink?)
I thought I heard a rhino snort
In coming down to drink.
I'm on his track; (Kermit, go back
And count those words again)
Tlio night is still and raven black!
(Loob, conio and hold my pen.)
Liang: Bang! Bang: Bang! (They'll
hate to pay
For four bangs iu a row,
A dollar each, but that's the way
The contract reads I know!)
<Lo??b skin the rhino while I add
These words.) What heavenly
breeze!
We're off to bed! (And Kerinit, lad.
Mail this first chapter please!)
Cease man, to mourn, to weep
to wall;
Enjoy thy shining hour of sun;
: Wo dance along Death's Icy brink,
I But is the dance less full of fun?
