SMALL WHARFAGE
It does seem strange that a biggtng
of wharf employes were compelled to
work many hours overtime during the
past summer? that occasionally there
was a congestion of freight, and that
the railroad companv stated to The
Alaskan that thoy were anvia;? five
hundred tons a day at times, and yet
the Moore Wharf company comes for
ward with a statement that durin? all
the year they h^adkd o lly fiiteen thou
sand tons of freight.

"Five greit railroads hnve betn in
Jeep tribulation They own a terminal
station in Chicago and proposed to re*
build it. Lawyers discovered in the
t.tle & little flaw, jmrely techuical. To
cure the little daw a li tie bill wad in
troduced into the legislature.
"The bill set ins to have been an en
tirely worthy one, but the great rail
roads wished to keep their predicament
secrst. They out sum shoes on the
bill, laid their fingers on their lips and
held their breath. Of course the news
papers presently discovered the myster
ious, shrinking little stranger and
pounced upon it witn a yell that echoed
far up the shores of Lake Michigan and
way down in Mississippi. Then the
railroads spent a busy week eagerly
and copiously explaining all about the
little bill in columns of type.
'If before introducing the bill the
rairoads had 9ent to the newspapers a
neatly tvpe written statement of its pur
pos, eabout a hundred words long, prob
ably most of the papers would have
thrown the statement into the waste
basket, and the bill would have gone
through with a couple of lines of per -
functory notice," ?<ys the Saturday
Evening P-?st.
Occasionally some misguided citizen
take- groat pains to keep his marriage
or divorce out of print, and usually has
the felicity to see bimseif exploited on
the front page a little later as the chief
sensation of the day.
If you wish to escape publicity, don't
try to dolge the editor. Write him a
letter all about It. and he will ignore
you.

(in the peniteutiary and hoping for
pardon} can look for better things from
ine," says Governor Henrv A. Buchtel,
of Co'ortdo, "than the man who has be
trayed a girl. No matter what presure
is brought to bear, I will not be a
party to liberating the human monsters
whose prey h. s been little gir's."
When it is added that this decision
blasts the hope for pardon of at least
one-:hird of the convicts in the Colora
do state prison, including a middle
aged preacher, tiic great prevalence of
this most abhorrent crime and the
necessity of visiting its perpetrators
with severe and inexorable penalty is
apparent.? Portland Oregon ian.
Governor Butchel's statement In this
connec'.'on is typical of him. When be
was about to be made Governor he
asked that he be allowed the privilege
of holding the inauguration services in
his church? for Governor Butchel is
almost a preacher? He was the head of
the Denver Univeisity? and maDy
people scoffed at him, but his had been
a religious life and he held fast to his
Idew. It was not very long until those
who laughed at him saw the sincerity
of the man and honored him for the
strength he had shown when under fire
of the newspapers. Later Governor
Butchel attempted to mix his religion
and the public tchooia together and he
was at once attacked upon all sides by
the Colorado papers. He saw his error
and manfully admitted it and deserted
his attempt to uoite the church and
schools. This again made him friends.
The Western Federation of Miners
sought to entaDgle him in a friendly
alliance with that organization. The
Governor assured the leaders of his
friendship and told them that he would
M?ist them. Believing that the Gov
oraor could be used, the federation
abused his proffered friendship and like
a thunderclap cine a statement from
the Governor that unless the miners
desisted be would call the Militia into
the Cripple Creek district and keep
oh;m there all winter. Th? Preacher
Gavernor has made many errors, bu'
when he does err, he is willing to rec
tify and acknowledge he Is wrong and
a man like that canuot help but, in the
long run, make good.
The tax matters recently passed over
have not beea buried. A session of
the United States court will be held in
t'>e city next month and a good deal of
explaining may be necessary upon the
part of some people. Tbe Alaskan Is
going to play no favoritism in this
matter and It certainly Is ^oing to en
deavor to prove, by figures and evi
dence which it has in its possession,
that far too much sidestepping has been
done in certain quarters.
The friends of F. F. W. Lowle m.y
est assured that the attack of news
paper fright from which he is suffering
is not dangerous and, as a general thine
not contagious.
