AS IT SEES LOWLE
Under the beading "Obituay Notice,"
the Soldier- Editor of the -Fort Seward
Mother hands the following tribute to
F. F. W. Lowle of this city:
"The attempt of a certain resident of
Skagway, Alaska, to a;em the flow of
interesting 'dope* from time to time
emerging from oar esteemed com tem
porary, The Daily Alaskan, has met
with an unexpected demise. In this
case it la the undertaker's turn to give
Tent to the saline tear instead of In
wardly chuckling at the sight of a
neighboring corpse. Physical hied
sight would be an attribute most desir
able to animate creatures, be they nun
or beast. But paychological retrospec
tion, a reality to all of us, must at times
make some human beings feel as though
they were related to the long-eared
specie* of the brute creation. The
man or woman who attempts to monkey
with the 'buzz-saw' of the press by dic
tating what they shall or shall not
priot had better be encased in a coat-of
mail. The gauntlet thrown down in
such a case would be of more service
on the hand of the gallant koight who
attempts to cross spears with the pen
cil-pushers of the modern newspaper.
We are oo longer groping through the
caverns of the Dark Ages, but move
onward In the daylight of progression)
fearin r not the bugaboos set up by in
experienced agenta of commercial con
cerns, whose methods of retaliation at
times seem more puerile than manly."
As was predicted by this newspaper
at the time, the highhanded attempt
made by the local tyro of the Canadian
Pacific steamship company is being re
sented by the press of Alaska, and be
fore he shall have finished with his
self-appoltot?d censors lip it is likely
that there will have dawned upon Mr.
Lowle the fact that he has gnawed off
more than be can properly masticate.

THE 8E0R6IA'S SERVICE
The delegate* to the Juneau conven
tion would have been unable to reach
that city had the y relied on the Georgia
to take them. After being given as
surance that that vessel* would be in
commission to take them there the del
egates did nothing farther in the
matter and at the last minute ? on Sat
urday- it was given out by the man
agement of the boat at Juneau, that
she would not make the trip. Had not
Agoat Frank Stuart, of the Paci 6c
Coast Steamship company come to their
reacue, by getting the Humboldt to
make * quick trip up, the delegates
would have been forced to remain home
the representatives of this city at the
territorial convention would have been
cut-off. In this connection it is but
proper to say that the miserable man
agement of the Georgia, which has
been almost unendurable for several
months, is growing wors?. Utterly dis
regard'esa ot datee, the management
?ends oat the vessel when It feels so
Inclined. Should one wish to know
anything about her movements, it is
necessary to send private cab!es to get
the information from Juneau. The
Georgia has a mail conrsct, which
bring* her In something over 920,000 a
year, and, could the be relied .upon,
her passenger and fieight traffic would
make money for the ship, but so neg
ligent has become the management
that the public are becoming afraid to
rely upon it.
The local agent here is in no manner
to blame ? he is hard pressed at all
times in making excuses. It is certainly
not the fault of Captain Thoraton and
hia officers an J crew? they do their full
share and are well liked by everyone
who patronize the boat. It is the Ju
neau management that is bringing the
vessel into disrepute, and unless the
head of the concern makes an improve
ment at once, the Georgia may be
blacklisted entirely by thetraveling and
shipping publto shortly.
ABE RUEFF
Lincoln Steffeos. in hi* fearless
article on the political corruption of
San Francisco. In The American Mag
azine, describes Abraham Ruef, the
political bow of the city, Mr, Steffefis
draws a vivid character sketch of this
remarkable college-bred leader, who
once held entire political control of the
great Western oity. We read:
A Latin Jaw, Ruef has a cunning
mlDd, but at be >rt he ia an artist. He
is always playing a part, end while be
picks bis play with sharp Intelligence,
he fools himself and he forgets that
the side-boxes can see him making up.
Ruef knows how to become boss. Most
bosses don't. They have certain un
conscious personal gifts, and by instinct
take advantage of circumstances wbicb
lift them into power. Ruef knew as a
very young man how to rise in politics.
He told me his story one forenoon. He
lied, he always lies extravagantly,
foolishly, even when{he knows you know
the truth. Abe Ruef never had that
virtue which is so Commonly attributed
to the political boss: he cared little for
his given word. And it is "lying" that
manv of his friend* and Lis worst ene
mies condemn bim most severely.
Heney, for example, despises "the
damned liar "so utterly that he won't
have any personal dealings with him
even in jail as a state's witness Gut
Ruefs lying is harmless. It doesn't
deceive Heney; it shouldn't deceive
anybody; it isn't deceptive at all. It's
imagination, subjective but vivid. Ruef
is "Sentimental Tommy." When he
was telling me his story that irornlng
(a month before be pleaded guilty), he
created for me a wonderful image of
himself; a young political genius, edu
catcd at a university, bom master of
the ward frame, but with the ideals o(
a cultured miod. He planned great
things for a great city.
As he painted his picture, he was fas
claited by it; as be told of bis fight
year by year, he lost himself in the
warmth of creation. But there were
facts in the tale, and It seemed to me
that I could feel the difference every
time he struck the foundation of truth.
No doubt he did have dreams; wasn't
tie dreaming as he talked ? And "I
fought," he said; again and agnta he
said it: "So I fought," Taken in a
secretary of the ward committee of his
(Republican) party beciuse he could
write, he would not obey. He made
demands, and when they were not
granted, he bo'ted. Well, ibat is one
secret of success: to fight. Most politi
cians and most men make the mistake
of trying by obedience and service to
rise by desert; they are "true to party."
This young Jew realized as an under
gradute that the bosses, both in politico
and business, fighi; thsy aren't loyal to
anybody or anything. Wherefore ev
ery body tries to placate them.
The o' her politicians were forever
trying to placate Ruef, and he never
could be placated long. Taking what
they gave him, he rose higher acd
higher, and, demanding ever more, he
cimo at last to want to run the city.
The other, older bosses could not con
sent to this and be bosses; and that's
how Ruef came to split the Republican
party, organize the Labor party, and,
by a secret deal with the Democratic
party, seize the city. "I fought," he
said, and, having the power, the busi
nesses back of the older bosses back el
him. Throughout the story, among all
the romance, the bos* showed .me that
he saw clearly the principle of his lise.
But he showed it. He wanted me to
see it and himself doine it.

"My baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially
nights. They would
cause hor to bo
broken of her rest,
and sometimes eho
would cry until sho

always used Cutl

and had heard of so
many cures by tho
Cuticura Remedies

would give them a
trial. Tneimprovo

' were well and have never troubled hor
since. I also used it to remove what
is known as "cradle cap" from her
head, and it worked like a charm as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the same
time. Now I keep Cuticura Ointment
on hand in case of any little rash or
?insect bites, as it takes out the inflam

the means of helping; other suffering
babies. Mrs. Hattio Currior, Thcmas
