SHATTUCK SHOULD BE REMOVED
When Henry Shattuck of Juneau
was appointed clerk of the court for
the First division of Alaska on June
1st by Judge Thomas Lyons, The Al
askan had no criticism to make of
the appointment. Shattuck had al
ways been a satellite of the Klnzle
Hoggatt-Shackelford-Summers crowd
but personally his record had been
free from any suspicion of dishonesty.
But Henry Shattuck has shown by
overt acts, such as granting the con
tract for the printing of the court cal
endar to the gang organ without cal
ling for bids and by aiding and abett
ing O'Brien in his cowardly and thug
t;lsh attack on Editor Russell, that
he is merely a tool and a puppet of
the Juneau hierarchy.
When Thomas Lyons was in this
town on his way to Fairbanks, he
gave an interview to The Alaskan in
which he emphatically declared that
he would "favor no person or party,
that he intended to make a record
for honesty and fair play and wished
to be judged on that record alone."
So far Judge Lyons personally has
done nothing to warrant criticism.
If. however, he desires the support of
the people of the First division he
will do well to keep his skirts clear
of Kinzie, Summers, et al.
Shattuck has succeeded in becom
ing deeply involved in the nasty im
broglio at Juneau ? in fact his high
handed action in granting a contract
as a reward for political favors cause
the entire trouble. If Judge Lyons
is sincere in his wish to be Judged
by his record he shoul 1 remove Henofj
Shattuck. Shattuck has plainly
shown that he doesn't intend to play
fair ball.

'?! i A HOT DAY WISH.
Oh. (or an island, away in the sea.
far from the bores in thia land of the
Tree! There I would live in a cave
by the shore; never a paper would
come to my door; never a "scare
head" would keep me awake, never
an "extra" announcing a fake. I am
so weary of Evelyn girls, wearing
short dresses and Rldinghood curls!
Weary of Gingles who glngle in court
telling a story too fierce to report;
tired of the ladies who, filled with re
morse. mourn that they married, and
ask for divorce; making their oaths,
wl*h a courage sublime, that they
> ere soused only part of the time. I
am so tired of these one-sided trades,
whereby these blooming American
maids, loaded with wealth that their
fathers amassed, marry cheap princes
01 poverty vast. Alas for the dam
sel that marries a lord! Dukes are
so cheap that they sell by the cord.
1 am so tired of the mills of divorce,
tired of the evidence sordid and
coarse; marriage is now, in the eyes
bt the law, less of a bond than a
fetter of straw. Oh, for an isle in
the sea, far away, where one may
dodge all the "news of the day!" ?
Walt Mason.
k A VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
A demurrer will probably be urged
to every indictment returned by the
present grand Jury on the grounds
that the Jury Commissioner, C. M.
Summers Is not of opposite political
faith to the Clerk of the Federal
Court. It is a well known fact that
Summers participated in the last
republican convention at Ketchikan,
supported republican candidate Cor
soo for Congress and was a republi
can candidate to succeed Wilford B.
Hogfatt, aa governor of Alaska. Many
prominent democrats of this section
will make affidavit that Commission
er Summers la not of the democratic
faith. It would bo well for Judge
Cushmau to Investigate this matter
tarly so that the present grand Jury
will not be carried on at great ex
pense to the government. ? Juneau
Dispatch.
AS OTHERS SEE US.
The Skagway Commercial Club or
ganized last week has sent out notice
that they are prepared to boost the
Lynn Canal metropolis as the great
summer resort of tho north. There
has always beeu a feeling at Skagway
that they could secure tourists to
spend several weeks every summer.
Now the Skagway Commercial Club
Is going to speud some money seudln
out pamphlets and advertising in sev
eral of th eeasteru magazines. Not a
bad idea aud oue that will probably
bring results. Juueau hopes It will
succeed. ? Juneau Dispatch.
Here's a sigh for those who love me,
And a smile for those who hate;
And whatever sky's abovr me,
Here's a heart for every fate.
