HENRY SHATTUCK IS NO FIT
MAN FOR CLERK OF COURTS.
If our courts are to be respected,
If they are to exercise that Influence
which Is their proper perogatlve. It
Is highly essentlonal that the officials
of the court possess the confidence of
the community. And Indeed, a lack
o( confidence in the courts goes far
towards defeating the simplest ends
of Justice.
For this reason and for this reason
alone It will be well If Judge Thomas
Lyons removes Henry Shattuck of
Juneau from the position of clerk of
%
the court for the First division. As
long as Henry Shattuck Is retained In
his present poaltlon confidence In
the Integrity of the court cannot but
be impaired.
Some public officials are allowed
a certain latitude In their political ac
tivities. Rut the people of the United
States ? and Alaska? have always In
sisted that tho courts be kept as
free as possible from political bias or
affiliation. In the case of Henry Sha
tuck, however, we see an official of
the United States courts so zealous ?
not In his official duties, but In aid
ing a certain faction that he becomes
imbrolled In a disgraceful rough and
tumble fight and Is Indicted by the
grand Jury for interfering with a
peace officer In the performance of
his duties.
The people of the First Judicial
district have the right to demand the
removal of Shattuck; ? and unless he
IS removed, the court which sustains
such an official must forfeit the res
pect and esteem of the people. Judge
Lyons is hardly to blame for Shat
tuck's 111 advised actions, but Judge
Lyons and Judge Lyons alone will be
to blame if Shattuck Is longer al
lowed to prostitute the power he re
presents.

GOVERNED TOO MUCH.
I love the sun and the gentle
breeze, and the brook that winds
through the pleasant vale; and I love
the birds, and I lore the trees, and
I'm always glad when I'm out of Jail.
We are governed now by so many
laws that liberty's dead, and we've
heard Its knell, and the wise man
carries a set of saws, to cut
kls way from a prison cell. The
grocer walls from a dungeon deep
for he sold an egg that was out of
date; the baker's fetters won't let
Mm sleep, a loaf of his bread was
under weight. The butcher beats at
his prison door, and fills the air with
his doleful moan; they'll cut off his
head when the night Is o'er, for he
?old a steak that was mostly bone.
The milkman's there In the prison
yard and the Jailors Hog him and
make him Jump; it seems to me that
his fate Is hard, though he did draw
from the old home pump. A sickly
weed, that was lank and thin, em
bellished my lot. at the edge of town,
and the peelers nabbed me and ran
me In, because I neglected to cut It
down. I dropped a can as I crossed
the park, ami that Is a crime that's
against the law; so they shut me
up In a dungeon dark, with Its rusty
chains aDd Its moldy straw. I love
the brook and the burbling breez.
and I'm rather maahed on the howlln
gale; and I'm fond of robins and
bumblebees, and I'm always glad
when I'm out of Jail.? Walt Mason.
A NEW DISTRICT OPENED.
"
The aucceaa of the steamer La
France In shawlng Lake Kluane can
reached by go!nf: up tie
White Rlrer to the Donjek
and the Donjek river to the lake
will do much to develop this rich re
gion which has hitherto been hand!
capped by the lack of adeuuato trans
portation facilities. Now tfmt it has
been demonstrated that the White
and Donjek rivers arc passable for
light draught steamers doubtless
many prospectors will be attracted to
tho Kluane district.
The Kluane country is not tribut
ary to Haines, but Its development
will help Haines for the reason that
tho Kluane country will be tapped by
the railroad which will some day run
from Haines to the Interior, and that
the railroad will bo hastened by the
upbuilding and settlement of the
country which intervenes between
Haines and the Tanana. ? Haines Pio

Judge J. B. Liudsey, tho noted
"kid's Jedge" and reformer from the
Centennial State, declares that Den
ver owes Its salvation to woman's su f>
frage. Washington suffragists have
seized upon this statement and will
make it their slogan in their coming
campaign for the ballot, in view of
tho many scandals that have come to
light In politics in the state recently.
Judge Lindsey says that women will
stand up for the clean only and that
they know how to scratch the ballot.
In fact, he attributes his election to
the bench to the women's votes al
most entirely, saying that he has al
ways been opposed by "the Interests"
In Denver. ? Exchange.
When airship races become popul

business of the pick-pocket will un

Truth Telling.
"Pn." sakl little George when his
father attempted to carve the Sunday
duck, "I can't tell a lie. I dulled the
curving knife."
"My son," wild George's father after
looking gravely at him for n few min
utes, "I am glad to forgive you. Let
me explain why 1 forgive you. It is
because you have not tried to deceive
me. You have told the truth. There
fore you shall not suffer punishment.
I wish to have you realize that It Is
always best to tell the truth. You see
how easy It Is. If you had lied to mo
about having dulled the knife It would
have boon very hard for you to keep
from letting us tlnd out the truth- -In
deed, we should have found It out
sooner or later- and then you would
have been punished. Thus you would
havn been made very unhappy In addi
tion to having been compelled to In
vent ? lot of falsehoods, which would
have been very hard work. A liar al
ways creates trouble and sorrow for
himself Remember that. How did
you happvn to dull the knife?"
"I was tiyln' to whittle off one of the
limbs of tfcrft tree you had sot out In
the back yard 'cause It's got a nice
prong for a slingshot."
"George, yon come into the nttlc
with me! By thuncVr, I'll teach you
not to cut limine from trees that I've
paid good monrj to have planted?'?
