MUZZLING THE JLJSP
The Alaskan has been general lv com
mended for the stand it took in the mat
ter of the C. P. R. yesterday. This
newspaper cares for the business of no
man or corporation to whom it has to
cater to obtain it. The Alaskan is a
business institution. It pays for every
thing it gets and expects 10 be paid for
what it does. It has never wilfully
harmed the interests of any person that
is trying to do business in a legitimate
manner. In future its policy will be
guided along the same lines, but it will
?t all times, when necessary, defend
the interests of the public should they
be abused by corporations. The with
drawal of patronage is not courted by
this newspaper, but, no sleep will be
lost over it.
The petty attempt of local agent F.
F. W. Lowle to muzzle The Alaskan
was. as it most certainly deserved, re
sisted summarily, and has been taken
up with the head officials of the Cana
dian Pacific rail.oad at Vancouver and
Montreal, and Mr. Lowle will hear fur
ther from his precipitate action shortly
cr The Alaskan is very much mistaken.
NOT ALL BAD
The Rev. Albert C. Hart declares
that 90 per cent, of the divorces of this
country have had their origin on the
dancing floor and in the cheap theaters.
When the divorce laws of the country
heve oeeu reformed, anil when the
codes of the different states have been
p'aced on a uniform basis, there will be
many less divorces than now, say the
judges. There will be just as much
dancing and just as much theater going
in proportien to the population as now.
This would lead the average man to
think that the Rev. Hart htd allowed a
very natural antipathy for certain
forms of amusement t" le d him into h
statement that has more sensation than
sound sense in it. Certjinly some
dancing is evil, and some things seen
and heard at the theater are less inspir
ing than a good sermon, says the Seat
tie Times, but the world is not going to
listen to preaching all the time. No
matter how tine the preaching may be.
There is some good in everything? even
dancing or th; laughing off of dull
care, if it is at a ten-cent sh6w, and the
Rev. Mr. Hart is going to hive a hard,
time to coavince the world that he is
right in his assertions.
DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES
Louis Lund, a food Democrat, car
ried the Iiepublicao primaries. Surely
that is going some. ? Juneau Dispatch.
Louis Lund, a Democrat; received the
highest vote cast by the Treadwell
Mine-Federal official ticket which Gov
ernor Hoggatt hid in the field at the
late primaries in Juneau. This is no
torious, It is a fact. The Alaskan
trusts that, when the convention meets
in Juneau, objection will be made to the
seating of the Hoggatt delegation, com
posed of Democrats, non-residents and
fedt ral officials. The mere fact that
the ticket is backed by Governor Hog
gatt makes no difference. Hoggatt
amounts to no more than any other citi
zen of Alaska He has entered the fight to
save his office. He should be treated
the same as any other man and his ille
gal delegates put outside the convec
tion as soon after the delegates are in
session as the matter can he gotten
around to.
Friends of F. F. W. Lowle have come
to The Alaskan with the excuse that
Mr. Lowle acted as he did because he
bad lost his head at the time. The
Alaskan Is free to acknowledge that be
did that and at the same time likely
lost his job.
As an example of what can bo grown
in Alaska? Mr F. F. W. Lowle's big
* head is a fair examole.

Pinching Bug Whips Chicken.
Men employed in the lumlter yard- (if
the American cur and Foundry compa
ny at Jefferson viile. Ind., witnessed a
battle between a pin'-blng bug. and a
chicken, in which tie "pincher" won
the day. The chick eu turned up the
bug, but the bug got first hold and
clung closely to the ' hicken's neck, and
the chicken could do nothing. The
uieu stood around rnd made bets. As
fast as the bug was shaken loose and
the chicken renewed the attack, the
"pincher" would rear up and steadily
face its foe. and Its determined re
sistance finally compelled the chicken
to take flight.
Snake Stampedes Court.
United States l>eputy Marshal G. W
Hannah of Sapulpa, 1. T.. stirred u)? a
large copperhead snake In the court
house. Hannah started to move his
desk a few feet from the wall, and In
doing so dlsturfx-d the slumber of the
snake, which had evidently been nest
ing behind the desk for several
mouths. The marshal called to Frank
Gillette, who was In the room, and to
gether they succeeded In shooting the
reptile. A stampede was created
among the young women working In
the ccirthouse when the snake began
to dodge the marshal's shots.
Cast Votes In Coffin Boxes.
Voting In coffin lioxes aud stamping
the cross on the upturned ends of cof
fins was the manner in which the vot
ers of East Eminence, Kv., asserted
their right of suffrage, the occasion be
ing the Democratic legislative primary,
which was held In all precincts of
Henry county. At East Eminence the
voting place was the undertaker shop
conducted by H. Harris. Ou a child'*
casket each voter indicated his prefer
ence with a stamp. The candidates
were a preacher, doctors and a farm
er. The somber surroundings worked
to the advautage of the minister, who
won in a walk. He did not solicit a
vote.
