WHAT COULD BE EXPECTED?
The Demoera's who were in the con
vention as delegates at Juneau served
well the purpose for which they were
sect. Their walk out, like'y planned
weeks ago, gave "Dick" Ryan and his
buccaneer cohorts tha chance to swing
the convention so that Nome could rule
its procsedings. Had Juueau been re
presented by Republicans who stood
with fealty fn the ranks of the other
Southeastern delegates, the break
would uot have como about? for the
scattering delegates whofollowed them
out of the convention would have re
mained. "Dick" Ryan standing on tne
actual following he had. which is none,
would not have been pedestaled as he is
today. Hut what cau be expected cf a
community that will permit Democrats
to control a Republican primary
through mercenary motives: which will
aiiow an assemblage ot gues's to go
into their own exchequers and pay for
the hoipiuUties which by right of com
mon decency should be extended by
the city as a I ostess; to residents who
will so far forget the age in which
they live as to allow a bevy of beauties
who como from distant shores to visit
with them to become financially embar
rassed? desp.te the fact that the girls
hedgood bankable paper? and permit
non-residents ta go to local banks and
guarantee th? payment < f the amounts
the young ladies should have h?d tend
ered in exchange for the drafts which
ar.- taken the world over as gi>cd for so
much gold? Nothing.*
Tte lesson that comes over the wire*
from Cleary City should be heeded here
THEY SHOULD FIND OUT
at ODce. The recent action of the oily
council in passing an ordinance pro
viding that brisk chimneys should be
placed in all houses within the Are lim
its ought to be at once enforced. The
old shacks that are dangerous fire
breeders should be demo ished im
mediately. Everything that can In
any manner tend to reduce ihe danger
"gainst, (ire should be taKen advantage
of and converted into a preventative.
Much has been said about the council
i.ot being ab'e to condemn dangerous
buildings. Legal advice, it Is claimed
!>y those interested, has teen given
which sustains such a contention.
This paper doubts very much if such
ndvlce is s>und. A menace is a men
.ice and that is all there is about it, and
if the council in one place has a right
to abolish one, it has that same prerog
ative in another. Court will be in
>ession tomorrow. The attorneys who
are paid for rendering advice to Alas
kan residents will be here within the
next few days, and why does the
council not see then, once and for all,
whether their hands are tied in the
matter or not ?
UNROOFING THE SALESLADIES
It's too bad, but it looks as if "The
tiattle of the Pompadour#" at Pitts
burg. in which the employing shop
keepers were routed horse, foot and
dragoon-), is about to turn out a b.rren
victory for "..ottle, the Poor Saleslady"
acd all her high-lurreted sisters.
When the superintendent of the gov
ernment printing oflice abolished mir
rors in the buildiog because the female
emp'oyes spent too much time posing
nefore them straightening s'ray locks,
making skirts hang better, and shap
ing down curving hips, there was a
loud outcry but no strike, Committees
visited the "horrid man" and tried to
get him to rescind his order. When he
refused, the gir's bowed to the Inevit
able. Work was light, wages were
high, situations much sought after
But the conditions In Pittsburg were
more favorable to womankind. When
the order went forth that abolished
pompadours and seat rata scurrying to
the waste baskets, the girls organized.
The order affected only one department
store at first, but the girls in the othors
were mobilized. All departmental
Pittsburg -vas aflame. The managers
parleyed for a time and then gave in lg
nominiously. And 'bow- the pompx
dours are so high ? hat it takes two girls
to make one; the original wearer to
begin, and one of the cash girls to
stand on the counter and complete the
job.
Bufwhat avails all this hirsute s-orn
of the defeated If fashion has to step in
and t>poil it ? A knockou blow has juat
been given the pompadour in Paris and
the coiffeur art'sts there are counting
' ten" In glad voices.
The decree has come that there shall
be distinctive styles of dressing the
tresses in consonance with various ages.
All heads cannot blossom into "pomps"
as once theyd'd. There are to be
modes for the maids and the matrons;
for the misses of sixteen and their
grandmothers. For "buds" and girls
in the early twenties the Recamier
style of loose ringlets confined with a
Greek 111 It- 1 has leen ordained. Mi?s
Ethel Roosevelt has already adopted It,
and so the fashion is bound to be a fid
in this country.
Now, as all shopgirls are in "the
early twenties," the pompadour will
melt like ice cream in August or elec
tion odds before Rooadvelt speaks
The shops will look strange but,
more attractive without these Eiffel
Towers of hair. But everything has to
be paid for, one way or another, and
while the shopgirls will rejoice in the
new style which proclaims their youth
they will have to st*k a new place for
ihe omnipresent lead peDclI. It used to
loom out of the tangled mass of hair
like a twelve-Inch gun in the forward
tur et of a man-of war, but now some
lens ronspicuous and less hand v location
will have t? bo discovered.
Praise be, though, the new styles
will restore us dear old ladies again.
There have been none for some years
and wc have sorrowed over their ab
sence. Unless the wrinkles underneath
betrayed, one could not distinguish
granddjme from-the maid by their coif?
fures. And even the gracious marks of
time were massaged and cold-creamed
away. Now a man will know bis own
grandmother when he see* her from
afar, and will love her all the more that
she isn't an imitation of bla youngest
daughter.
Annou- cement Is made lei the New
York papers Mae Wood has filed more
documents In her suit against Senator
Piatt for alleged divorce, the young
lady claiming lo have become the Sen
ator's wife a short time before he
marrieJ the present Mrs. Piatt, Hav
ing tried nearly all other kind of
papers, it would now seem not out of
place if she would file her marriage
certificate,
It has been suggested to the Demo
cratic papers that blame Roosevelt as
the cause of the panic that, when their
material wears out, there is the Ital
ian earthquake and the outbreak o f
Bubonic plague in Seattle to fall back
on.
FOR THE KNOCKER
If you see a tail fellow ahead of a
crowd,
A leader of men marching fearless and
proud,
And you know of a tale whose mere
telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in an
guish be bowed,
It's a pretty good plan to forg9t it.
If you know of a skeleton hidden away
la a closet, and guarded, and kept from
the day
In the dark, and whose showing, whose
sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and life
long dismay,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know ofa thing that would aark
en the joy
Of a man or a woman, a girl or a boy.
That will wipe out a smile, or the least
way annoy
A fellow; or cause any eladnes* to cloy,
Its a pretty good plan to forget it.
?Selected
According to whalers who have just
returned to Seattle, the tongue of a
young female whale will give a ton of
oil. A married one should, according '
to that, be able to give enough to 1
supply the country for a year. .
COUNCIL HOLDS
SHORT SESSION
The city dads were in a hurry to get
to the dance last night and rushed mat
ters through. A discussion arose as to
what would happen in the event one of
the aldermen moved away or dleJ, thus
causing the council, in ia present
shape, to be without a quorum. A spe
cial election was suggested and others
thought the council had a right to ap
point a member. The m ltter waj left
unfinished after a lot of contention pro
and coo.
Alderman McKay stated that three
lights had bcei place 1 on the streets
since the last meeting. Complaint was
made about the light on the corner of
21 stslreetand he special committee w< s
ordered to Investigate the matter.
The committee composed of Ald.r
men McKay and Shea, who hud been
empowered to have the tax roll correct
ed and the City Ordinances compiled,
revised and annota'ed, reported that
they thought it useless to make any ex
penditure for fixing the tax roil and
that they had made arrangements with
A. R. O'Brien to compile the ortti
I
: nanceB.
I Nettles & Ford presented a petit'on
, asking that they bo allowed $500 on ac
! count of the work they ?re doing at the
public school bulldine. The allowance,
upon motion of Alderman McLean, was
made.
Chief of Police Sundeen reported
that ho did not know what dogs be
longed inside the city. He said that he
could not tell where the boundary line
adopted by the city began or ended, and
asked whether it was the R'.id survey
or the one mado by Diers which the
jlty was guided by. The council decid
ed to leave the matter as to which sur
rey tho city was governed by to the
Health and Police committee for ioyes
Ligation and report at the next meet
ing.
A few bills ware paid and the council
adjou ued, after being in session less
than f r'y minutes.
