THE GALLED JADE WINCES
* In a Ubo.-ed editorial, full of vituper
ation and abuse of the people of Skag
wav and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
the Juneau Record, the official mouth
piece for the Hoggatt 210, in comment
ing upon the editorial which recently
appeared in the Post-Intelligencer in
which the Skagway resolutions, adopt
ed at the big primary held here three
weeks ago, were referral to by
the Seattle paper, says:
?'Now why all this expressed anxiety
about Alaska's inalienable righto by
this organ of all the dirty political
schemes rt>at were ever hatched in that
city of graft on Ellio: Bay ?
"Thrt paper knows full well that
there is a difference of opinion among
the citizens of Alaska themselves con
cerning this question, then why does
this interloper desire to take such an
active part for either faction? If it
shows any one thing more than another
it is that the Post-Intelligencer speaks
for those people in Seattle who have In
terests in Alaska and are of the opinion
that they can control an Alaska legisla
ture with more effect that they can
control congress. That is all there is
to these patriotic outburs's of the Abe
Kuef sheet of Seattle. They believe,
undoubtedly, that they can work their
grafts through an Alaskan legislature
without that national publicity that
any attempt to work them through con
Kress will naturally give. That is why
the Seattle paper is taking such an im
pudent part in Alaska affairs."
The above savors much of the argu
ments advanced by water front rousta
bouts and one would not think it orig
inated in the mind ot the able editor of
the man *ho holds himself Aloof from
the common herd of Alaskans How
ever. from all accounts the Hoggatt
forces have mixed pretty generally
with the "rough" element in Juneau
lately? at least they did on election
day? and the slangy talk contained in
the above may have been contracted by
contamination on the day that Governor
Hoggatt mashalled his "210.'' This, of
course, is a premise but a certainty, as
predicted by The Alaskan at the time,
is that the Skagway resolutions have
caused the galled jade to wince.

PLAYING THE SYCOPHANT
We are told that Pilot Nichols of the
steamer Hartweg has been suspended
for six mooths, iDstead of nicety days,
as ordered by President Roosevelt.
This looks like the act of a sycophant ?
like the act of a man who desires to
make himself solid with the powers
that be, who believes that the road of
official prosperity lies in not only dolne
all that is commanded, but in doing a
little mo e than that, just by way of
official good measure, and as denoting
profound official admiration for and
subserviency to the will and desire of
one's superiors.
It has not yet appeared that Pilot
Nichols was guilty of such a heinlous
offense. Public judgment may admit
that Nichols encroached upon the
courtesies o( the occasion; but there is
room for the supposition that such en- J
croacbment was due to unwarranted
ieal. rather than disrespect for the
head of the Nation, or to manifest dis
regard for the safety of others. It is
quite possible that Pilot Nichols
thought he was extending a courtesy to
the President, rather than otherwise,
when he engaged in a race with an
other boat.
From time immemorial steamboat
racing on the Mississippi has been re
cognized as one of the distinctive feat
urea oi travel on that grtat waterway.
That its abuse has led to disaster and
loss of life, is true: but that in the
hiatory of Mississippi navigation It
has been the picturesque feature, some
what abandoned in this later day, is
alro true. Here is where Pilot Nichols
may have assumed that the President
would appreciate a touch of the old
time life on the Mississippi. The well
known atrenuosity of the Roosevelt
character and the deteatation by Mr.
Rooeerelt for the mollycoddle and hit
tribe may have strengthened the as
sumption.
This entire incident is Dot of crave
importance in any of Its bearings. So
far as it will excite orlt;cism of the
President it becomes Interesting matter
for discussion, but as to the merits ^of
the case* as affecting the pMotofthe
Hartweg, there can hardly be exact
judgment expressed bo any one except
those who witnessed the affair. This
conclusion applies to the official who
exceeded the command of the Presi
dent in the imposition of a penalty.
The offense in the one case Is mot*
than balanced by the offense in the
other.
IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
If I have made a loan to you,
I care not though it be but small,
I know just when it's corniDg due
Such things I readily recall.
But if it's money that [ owe
I quite forget how much I had,
And when and where but then you know
My memory is very bad,
If any service I have done
To you, I don't forget at all,
Whatever length of time miy run,
Such things I readily recall.
But i ( you ever helped me out
There is n ? use of getting mad
Because I have expressed a doubt.
My memory is very bad.
Remind me in your interest,
I look as black as any wall,
What helps me I remember best,
Such things I readily recall,
Of deeds that, done, may profit me
To speak of I am always glad,
But if it profits you, you see,
My memory is very bad.

The suspension of payment by the
Reynolds bank at Valdez will cause
quite a financial flurry in local money
circles, as nearly every ousiness man in
Valdez had a bunch iu it. But we
shall hope for tbe best, as it may be
only temporary. Every handicap pos

progress of the undertaking, and the
