J WHIRLWIND THAI WONT WHIRL
Some Rtl'o'lom Upon the Intel
ligence ef the People of Alaska
and th?t ot the Governor of
Ata'ke.
No sir, the whirlwind will not whirl.
Ccrsou's band playing, his employment
of enthusiasm that la paid for at so
much per hour is as transparent to the
wise and plain people of this district as
are toe waters of Lynn Canal. How
( >olish to expect to befuddle a whole
commuuuy with noise. We are an
c*rut>*i people here; wo hare not yet
become acquainted with the trifling
tricks of the political gamester. We
have a definite purpose in life; we know
what we want and we go directly to
ward our end, without jugglery or
chicanery, and they who try to attain
any end by anyother methods subject
themselves to a suspicion that is fatal.
We are a simple people here, but "we
aint no fojls."
In the case of Mr. Corson it Is more
than suspicion? it is knowledge. No
man can serve two masters, he must
hoUl to o::e and forsake the other? if
he ever hopes to get to congress. Mr.
Corson was warned before the conven
tion that any man who accepted the
nomination at the hands of Governor
Hoggatt might c.-y his belief in terri
torial government until the cows coma
home but no man wou'd believe that he
meaut it. He W crying his belief in
territorial government until his cows
go home and no man believes he means
a word of it.
Governor Hoggatt is in open oppo
sition to the principle of self-govern
ment. His declaration that only the sa
loon element is.ln favor of this principle
is of course a blundering Insult to all
those true Americans who have
been lighting for this principle but
Governor Hoggatt must be necessarily
of that texture which is in
capable of realizing what such public
declara'.ion may mean to these people
nod to the fulfillment of his own plans
It is very raw. Governor Hoggatt as
sembled all his forces to control the
norainttion for congress at Ketchikan
and oy the employment of meie brute
force he succoeded in naming a man
who bad made a speech a year ago in
favor of self-government.
Now dews ii have to be told to any
growD eison that Governor Hoggatt
knew t tt his caovlidatw ivou.d be
aureeabk to bira in the furtherance ot
bis purpose if elected? Is Mr. Corson
to be bound by the speecn be made a
year ago ? which, by the way, was gen
eralize n>n snd nothing more? r ther
than by me obligation to the man w>o
;ave bin the nomination? That Gov-1
ernor Hoggatt should think so lightly |

of tho intelligence of the people of Al
aska as not to see how this question is
to bo answered at the polls, reflects
directly upon his own.
How ^bsurd for us to work ourselves
into ? frenzy over party politics up here
where we have nothing to do with
party politics even when there is such
politics anywhere, and how much more
ridiculous now, when we sit hrre and
see the democratic national figures
seriously advocating the nomination of
the republican president as their own
candidate. Alaska democrats ought to
be represented In the national conven
tion of their party and Alaska republi
cans lo theirs that they may know we
are interested as onlookers? but in con
cerns of local interest we should bo
Alaskans for Alaska, and that should
be our party and our cry.
Gov. John Johnson, of Minnesota,
will be nominated before the Denver
convention to head the democratic
ticket by Representative Wintield S.
Hammond, of the second congressional
district of Minnesota, tho man who de
feated for congress former Represents
tlvt James T. McCleary, one of the
republican leaders during his service in
the house. Hammond nominated Gov.
Johnson for both his terms as governor
of the State of Mtnaesoti.
Mr. Ronan. who registered at the
Juneau convention as from "Seattle,"
is at Juneau and is expected here in a
few days. Now the fact is Ronan is
from Fairbanks and if there are people
in Alaska who hare visited Seattle and
who yet retain the right to be known
as Alaskans. Ronan Is one. But a
man who has so little sense as to regis
ter in Alaska as hailing from Seattle
when in fact he is from Alaska? well
what would he do in Washington ?
THE MEADOW TRAGEDY
By Dor* Slgerson Short? r.
Hera's a meadow full of sunshine
Ripe tnuii lush and hi^h;
There's a reaper on the roadway
And a lark hangs in the sky.
There's a nes' of Ioto enclosing
Three little bsaks that cry;
The reaper's In the meadow
And a lark hangs In the sky.
Here's s meadow full of summer,
And tragedy goes by
With a knife among the grasses,
And a song up in the sky.

Chaplelgb? Would you? er? scream If
I were to kiss you?
Miss Peachy? I suppose so. I scream

THE JULY SMART SET
A novel with a delightfull "horaey"
flavor, entitled ''The Mistress of
Bounds," by Jay Hardy, ii the feature
of the July Smart Set, and no better
story could be found for summer read
ing. The author knows intimately all
the types of which he writes, and the
whole novel canters along at a brisk
and lively gait. A delightful love story
is woven around the heroine, who is the
central figure in a smart summit
colony.
There is the usual assembly of ex
cellent reading, prose and verse in the
July number of this always entertain
ing magazine.
