THE ALASKA WEEKLY CAPITAL.
For some six weeks there haa been
published in J\ineau a weekly paper
known as the Alaska Weekly Capital.
Its publishers are Messrs: Callahan
and Moore, both employes of the Jun
eau Record.
"The Alaska Capital, unheralded,
enters the list of newspaperdom. for
Alaska, its industries, its people and
Its interests," was announced In
the new paper's salutatory, which, con
tlnulng, stated, "The Capital will en
deavor to represent Alaska as a
whole and to give that news of the
district which will be of Interest to
the Alaskan? those Interested in Al
aska?whatever they may be "
Owing to the origin of the Capital
we had some doubts as to the sin
cerity of its good Intentions, believ
ing at the time that it would prove
merely a side show to the Juneau Re
cord. For that purpose we refrained
from commenting upon The Capital
until its intentions were disclosed by
actions rather than empty declama
tions.
It was as we suspected. The Alas
ka Capital is simply a mirror of The
Juneau Record. Three-fifths of the
materia] appearing in it is taken
without change from the Record and
no political articles are re-prlnted
from other papers unless they are
anti-home rule in nature. This pol
hy consequently affords the Capital
a small field for choice and its edl
torials are reproduced almost entirely
from that anti-home rule triune. The
Juneau Record. The Cordova Alaskan
and The Wrangell Sentinel.
ft Is hardly necessary to point out
that a weekly paper conducted on
such a policy is hardly representa
tive of Alaska. In fact It purposely
reflects a hopelessly small minority
of public opinion.
We cxlnclde with the new weekly
in exactly two things We think its
name The "Capital" particularly ex
pressive of its cause of being, and
further we agree that It represents
Alaska's "Interests."
, THE VLLAGE SPORTS.
They're playing checkers all the
day, an endless, earnest game; the
world might Jump the track and
they'd keep playing Just the same;
they're playing when the day ia young
they play when night la due; they
move their men from square to
square, and say, "It's up to you!"
They heed not what Is doing In the
busy world around; they're careless
of the hunter's tale of charger or of
bound; the youth may flaunt his rifle
and the child may whirl his top ?
the Village Sports are busy down 'n
Yeomans* old Junk shop! They
care not where the pennant goes
when base ball days are done, they
couldn't :ell you if you asked, what
teams have lost and won; the foot
ball season is a blank to able minds
like thelra; they couldn't tell the
half backs from a brace of polar
beers; the'yre heedless of the motor
cars that race for loving cups, they
do not mind the coursing meets, the
rabbits or the pups; let airships flut
ter overhead, or down in ruins drop
? the Village Sports are busy up at
George Good's Gospel shop! Now
Jeff's come back across the sea to
slay that Johnson gent, to roll him
up Into A wad, and make in him a
dent, and all good sports will paw
the air, and dance and yell and sing.

OLD GLORY IN CUBA.
TO Cuba's tottered legions a starry ,
banner cume
To lend the glory luster of the
Anglo-Saxon name.
Through the wild machete charges,
up the red heights of San Juan.
Through the tangled tropic jungle with
Maceo leading on:
In the coward forest ambus J; at the
deudly trocha bars:
In the hell-hot. traplike trenches; at the
bivouac 'neath the stars;
I In the forefront of the conflict where Its
vutors ever fly.
It nerved In every trial, and It kindled
every eye.
But a nobler fame was written on tho
scroll of Its renown.
And It never floated higher than the day
we hauled It down.
When we laid a new republic at Cuba's
chalnless feet
We taught the pirate nations all tho
grandnes* of retreat:
That our standard never fluttered o'er the
sordid decks of gain:
That the war wine lust of empire never
dimmed It with a stain.
The crimson stands for valor and the
blood the fathers shed.
The blue for skies thut beckon and are
smiling overhead;
The white Is for the pureness of the na
tion's fine desires.
And all for grand Ideals, and tho stars
for altar Arcs.
But tho brave were never braver nor tho
stars more like a crown
Nor the white ami azure purer than the
day we hauled them down.

ACCIDENTAL NONSENSE.
Things That Amuitd Lur, the English
Artist anci Writsr.
It Is not surprising that tbo gifted
Inventor of such classic Imaginative
nonsense as "The Jumbllea" and "The
Owl and the Fussy Cat" took a keen
delight In the real nonsense of real
life whenever he chanced to encoun
ter It. Daring a doleful stay In a
dreary little mining village where It
rained all tho time and he was not
well and could not accomplish the
work be bad set his bcart on doing
the late Edward Lear, although a
good and decorous churchgoer, found
his source of cheer In the parish clerk.
"Oh, beloved clerk!" he wrote grate
fully to a friend. "He reads the
psalms enough to make yon go Into
fits. He said last Sunday, 'As white
as an old salmon.' Instead of 'White
as snow in Salmon.' 'a lion* for 'alien
to my mother's children' and 'they
are not guinea pigs' Instead of 'guilt
less.' Fact, but 1 grieve to say he's
turned out for the same and will nev
er more please my foolish ears."
Even funnier was the erratic Eng
lish of a foreigner which once enliv
ened for him the prolonged formalities
of an official dinner.
"Sitting nest to the captain of an
Austrian frigate at Sir H. Sterle's on
Thursday evening," he recorded, "tbo
Germau officer said to a subaltern?
tbo conversation was about the good
looks of women? M do think the Eng
lishwoman conserve her aperient gal
shlp (girlhoods longer than all the wo
men. even as far as her antics' (antiq
uity, age).
"Tho subaltern withered with con
fusion till 1 ventured to interpret.
'The Englishwoman preserves her ap
pearance of youth longer than all wo
men, even If she be old.' Youth's
Companion.
