A LANDSLIDE IS CERTAIN
The republicans of Nome in their
local convention endorsed Cafe in un
qualified terms through resolutions
unanimously adopted and instructed
their delegation to the territorial con
vention to vote for him for a renomlna
tion. Since the convention we learn
by wire that at a general mass
meeting, "irrespective of party," this
endorsement was reltterated and con
tinued. The delegation from Fairbanks
at the Ketchikan convention bearing
the proxies of the whole Tanana stood
firm for Cale to the last. The demo
crats of Fairbanks sent a wire to the
Juneau convention when they heard
thai Ronan was likely to be the nomi
ne?, repudiating him and instructing
that the votes of that district, repres
ented ir the convention by proxies, be
cast for Caie, the wire being signed
by the delegates so represented.
Since those instructions were disre
garded and Ronan nominated these
democrats of Fairbanks have met aud,
to show their contempt for the action
of the convention, have delioerately
endorsed Clutn the independent candi
date who sought the republican nom
ination and who is holding a federal
appointment as a republican. They
wished to endorse a republican,
evidently, but could not stand for Cor
son, so they turned to Clum. This
was "for publication." In the booths
where thev prepare their ballots they
will leave the name of Cale for whom
they signified their choice by the wire
to Juneau Some have eyes yet caonot
see, but ths blind may feel t*>e direc
tion of the wind.
THE "CARELESSNESS" OF CIITJUN
SCHAGE
On thu way down the Portland passed
??lose by the wreck of the Saratoga, ly
ing on the reef to the south of Busby
Island, just outside of the harbor at
K'.lamiv. It is the impression of ? the
oflcers of the Portland that there is
little or no hope of salviog the Sara
toga, as she lies open to the full sweep
of the southwest gales. She lies hard
ashore with the rocks driven clear
through her bottom amidships.
This is from a recent issue of the
Juneau Record. It presents a picture o
that for which, according to despatches
received yesterday, the "carelessness"
of the officer in command is responsible
?Captain Schage. For this the authori
ties have gone so far as to suspend the
license of this officer for THREE
MONTHS. And the Saratoga was a
passenger ship.
How that the responsibility for the
lives of the thousands that trust them
selves of necessity to transportation
companies rests so lightly upon the
shoulders of those having it to bear, and
of which this an expression, Is one of
the things that every so often gives the
world pause in amazement. If experi
ence of years has not taught the first
element of his trade to a man who has
risen to the position of commanding
officer of a vessel, how is it to be ex
pected that the suspension of his license
for three moJths wl'l do it?
ItL :e-s than two years since this
same (. :ipt ?iu Schage ? according to
current : jport? was suspended for hav
ing run off li is course for some twelve
hours on this rocky and Island bespeck
led coast of Alaska, His name also has
been in print repeatedly for ung'allant
and brutal conduct. It it had so
happen d that the lives of thejpaasen
gers of the Saratoga had' been sacri
ficed at the time she was allowed to
ride on the rocks through the com
mander's "carelessness," he would
p obably have been cashiered if not
required to answer a criminal charge.
Probably the company is determined
to wait upon such eventuality.
The question suggests itself whether
it is Indeed the "carelessness" of Capt.
Schage that Is responsible or that of
those in authority who permitted him
to hava charge after his careless dis
position h>d been once manifested.
Certainly the future conduct of Capt.
Schage on this coast will bo c'ja'geablo
not to him but to those who appoint
him to positions of responsibility.
1 It ia an old trick for opponents of
propoaed but belated legislation to, on
the last day of a session of tho legis
lature or congress, to "talk a bill to
death," that is talk on the question
until the hour fixed for adjournment
arrives when the bill dies for lack of
a legislature to pass it. "Seated in an
arm chair Senator Lafollette began to
talk the currency bill to death," called
up a dramatic picture to the mind of
the reader as it camo over the wire.
But Mr. Roosevelt knew several
tricKs calculated to change this picture
fnto a very silly one. "No currency
bill, no adjournment," is the way it
reads in some exchanges that have
come to h?nd. There are^limits to
everybody's ability to talk und hence
we have the adjournment? but tlrst the
currency bill.
IN SEASON
I like daffodils in April,
And strawberries In Juue;
When tbey make them come in winter
It seems to spoil the seasons?
Msybe these aren't (food reasons,
But I like things in tune
And not to change the moon.
I like to wait for flowers
In the old way, as one should,
They need the outdoor showers:
Hothouses are for roses
And such things. One supposes
God knows how to make ripe and sweet
Better than the fruit we eat.
Jalf the spring's charm is tirst to see
The jonquils waving in the light,
It's worth the waiting for. If wo
Chose to live where winter's cold
Do not let us be too bold
Toch?n^e what God has started right,
But let thing* sleep while the ground
Is white.
