WILL WORK LIKE A BOOMERANG
To take advantage of a man detained
a: the bedside of a sick wife, to maKe
a false statement as coming from hiui
that he Is no longer a candidate before
the people, s pretty low down politics.
This Is what Mr Cule's secretary
charges agaicsi "the Corson crowd.''
As though Mr. Corson* had not suffi
ciently the br>t of it in being left to
himself to make his canvass unopposed
personally by Mr. C'ale. he must make
false statement^ concerning the ab
sentee. preseuts a lamentable confession
of weakness on his own part or ac
knowledgement of strength on the part
of Cale.
It is not likely that Mr. Corsoa was
personally guilty of this cold blooded
trick, but rather that it is attributable
to some of his over-.-.ealous and un
scrupulous henchmen. However, it is
up to him to disown it or it will ke
charged to him directly. Mr. Ca'e i? in
the race, in the open. No man will
ever find him resorting in his effort or
desire for re-election to anything but
t!ie fairest, most frwti <c -and manly
methods to secure to himself the su|>
port and allegiance of the people whom
he seeks to represent at Washingten.
Tricks liko these by whomsoever per
petrated must wori only as does the
boomerang, to return to the hurt of the
man in whose behalf they are employed.
WHERE IRE DEMR1C* IS SOUND
All Alaska must )uy its respect to
the democratic platform in that it found
time in tho m.d>: of the harry and
clamor and exc tement ia the midst of
which it was frame I. to give a thought
to an abstract principle, out of which
uo votes can I won to its candiJate.
It is the principle of rijjht. and of liber
ty, and is voiced ia this way:
"Wo demand for the people of Alaska
the full enjoyment of the rights and
privileges of a territorial form of gov
ernment. aud that all officials appointed
?hould be j.i'ifled by previous bona
Cde residence.''
It sounds like music to hoar this from
a national convention even though it
is of the minor!;;.* party and not likely
to have the ;>ower to put its belief into
pracic?.
Word has been received of the res
ignatioi ? f s*h<:' j Jacks. ;? ;;s general
agent of ducitijn in Alaska. The
reason given was age and 111 health
The reslgLation ha? been accepted ard

DARK. DARK. THE SEAS AND LANDS
By Herbert Trench
Dark, Jark the seas and lands
Between us lie !
And to taunt these banished hands
Hang mountains high;
Vat touight your voico from home
Mo?t strange, most clear.
Over the gulfs hnth come
Gloriously near.
Long since, in the desert's heat
I swooned, I fell,
To 6nd your love at my feet
Like the desert's well; \
Now loftier and more profound
Than the dawn at sea,
Your spirit, like heavenly sound,
Delivers me J
