All last summer, fall ami winter
anil a good portion of the present
spring the editorial columns of the
Record of this city bristled with
abuse of th<> city administration, of
.lames Wickersham. of the Western
federation of Miners, of every per
son against whom that paper had a
real or a fancied grievance. Most of
.t was abuse wholly unmerited: much
of it was abuse of a personal char
acter. couched in language not usu
ally employed by any one laying any
claim to the title of gentleman. The
paper became not only the laughing
stock of the town, but thoroughly dis
credited throughout Alaska. For it
to oppose any person or cause was
the best endorsement that person or
cause could hope to receive.
When fire visited the plant of the
Record, in all Alaska there was hard
ly a word of regret. Such papers
as expressed any feeling over the
matter seemed to think the Record
had got only what was coming to it.
Private individuals did not hesitate
to say they were glad that the fire
had occurred? that it was the best
tiling that had ever happened to the
city of Juneau.
The nominal editor of the Record?
and we say nominal assuredly? was
Gus O'Brien, a man whose only fit
le-ss for the position lay in the fact
that for a few paltry dollars he was
willing to allow himself to be used
;;s a tool and cat's-paw of the then
powerful political clique. O'Brien
was well described by the Douglas
News one time in a scathing editor
ial. when the opinion was expressed
that he had either escaped from a
penitentiary or an insane asylum.
Practically ail over Alaska Gloomy
(Jus. as he has come to be known,
was regarded as the author of the
abuse and filth which appeared in
the columns of the Record. Within
the l;ist few days It has become
known, however, that he simply al
lowed himself to become the target
for the criticisms those editorials
aroused. The real authors of the
articles were members of the politi
cal clique above referred to. Upon
this fact, when the time became ripe.
Gloomy t!us traded, by threats of ex
posure unless support was forthcom
ing to continue the paper.
Gloomy Gus left Juneau yesterday,
bound, ostensibly, for California.
This may or may not be his objec
live point. He may or may not in
tend to return to Juneau. For Ju
neau's own good, it is to be hoped
that he will never return. It Is
doubtful if that small clique back of
'he Record will ever again find so
pliant and supple a tool as he prov
? d himself. Nor is it to be presum
ed that they will dare to come out
in the open and farther such arti
cles as have in the past appeared in
(he columns of that paper.
The Transcript believes it could
name, man by man, those who really
wrote the articles that set all Juneau
by the ears. It hopes, however, that
the new editor will be a man; that
he will run the Record as a news
paper, not as a vehicle for the ex
ploitation of personal petty spite and
grievances. It hopes he will have
the nerve and the backbone to re
fuse to be made a tool of as was
Gloomy Gus ? .Juneau Transcript.

cording to his deeds?? Romans.

"DOMINION."
T HAVE lured him with opaline lights
~ And sun* him to confident sleep.
And then. In the horror of nights.
I have strangled his cry In th%> deep.
T HAVE purred at his feet on the sand
And whispered of love to his sail
Till, far from the sheltering land,
1 have swept him to death In the gale.
T HAVE promised him substance and
*? store
If he tiavo me his sons and his fleet,
And then, having coxcned him sore.
I havo cast up his dead at his feet.
BUT he %>uis me with lojr and with
lead.
Ho brands me with marks for his ken.
He buries the tale of his dead
And turns Ids ships seaward a*rnln.

Accompanied by Terrible Itching?
A Complicated and Most Distress
ing Case? Well-known Remedies
Failed to Cure -Doctor Thought
an Operation Necessary? Then
CUTICURA PROVED ITS
WONDERFUL EFFICACY
"I am now eighty years old and ono
morning, throe years ago, I was taken
with a nurd pain in my right. side. In
two davs I had an ' attack of piles j
(hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding.
The doctor gave me some medicine and
an ointment for them which helped mo
some but I had to keep using them all
thetime. Then I changed to the P j
remedy: but \r 1 did not use it every
day, f would got worse. Tin? doctor
said the only help for me wa- to go to
a hospital and be operated on. At
this time, about a year ago. I went to
using the S remedies. 1 tri"d them
for four or five months but did not get
much help for my piles. During this
time sores would come on a rV-liy part
of my body. They bothered mo all j
the time, t would get one In-oled and
another would come. Tin -e sores
changed to eczema, accompanied bv
a terrible itching. It wvim .1 ?- if "I
could not keep my hands from tearing
my flesh. This and the pile trouble ;
brought on an inflamed condition.
Then I got the Cuticura Homed ies. I
washed the affected parts with Cuticura
Soap and warm water in the morning,
at noon, and at night, then u- d Cuti
cura Ointment on the irritated sur
faces and injected a quantity of Cuti
cura Ointment with a Cuticura Sup
pository Syringe. I also took Cuti
cura Resolvent Pills three time; a day.
It took a month of this treatment to
get me in a fairly healthy state and
then I treated myself once a day for three
months and, after that, once or twice a
Wtvk. It is fortunate that I ti ed Cuti
cura. Thetn atments I had tried took a
lot of money that I would have saved lo
using Cuticura Remedies sooner, but
I am wiser now. I am supplied with
a full set of the Cuticura Kciu<-d> < anil
would not feel safe without them.
