A SICKENING DISPLAY OF TOADY
ISM BY THE GRAND CAMP.
Violating all precedent, acting con
trary to the constitution, and ab
solutely disregarding the protest of
su Alaskan cam pa and the sentiment
of all fair minded people, the grand
camp of the Arctic Bro'herhood yes
terday made President Taft an hon
orary past Arctic Chief.
U was a sickening display of toady
ism which must he repeUsnt to all
members of the A. B. and is directly
opposed to the fundamental principles
of the order. President Taft was
made an A. B. in violation to the es
sential distinctiveness of the A. B.
which makes it necessary for all in
itiates to have been north of fifty
four forty.
Stripped of all false sentimentality,
the officials of the grand camp of the
Arctic Brotherhood stand convicted of
the meanest of motives, of trying to
steal the honor from a camp in Alaska
of playing the toady and the syco
phant. of deliberately setting aside
all obligations of fair play and honor
that they might shine in the reflected
glory of a President.
No wonder President Taft disregard
ed the request for home rule wired
him by every newspaper and every
mayor in Alaska. The grand camp
of the A. B. set him an example by as
coolly disregarding the protest of the
Alaskan camps.
The acquisition of Taft is of doubt
ful benefit to the A. B. He must
urnr ?uowu mat Dy Joining at Seattle
he was violating the great rule of the
order and showing a marked discourt
esy to a northern camp. His recently
expressed views upon Alaska, stamp
him as a bureaucrat, an enemy to
home rule.
The Alaskan camps will be absolut
ly justified in refusing to accept the
action of the grand camp and in re
pudiating Taft as a brother. Having
bad the honor and the dubious dis
tinction of taking Taft over the trail,
the officials of the grand camp should
have the grace to resign from the
posts they have so shamelessly be
trayed.
THE TIRESOME GERMS.
A poor old broken wanderer came
reeling to my door; the burrs were in
bU whiskers, and bis fee t were tired
and sore; bis rags, of all the rags
on earth, were certainly the worst,
and 1 heard him mutter sadly: "1 am
perishing of thirst!" On speedy feet
I hastened with a dipper to the well,
and I offered him the water but he
gave a frenzied yell; and he waved
me from his presence with a hand
grotesquely soiled, crying: '?Don't
you read the papers? Drinking water
should be boiled! In a single drop of
water, deadly germ is piled on germ?'
get a microscope and see them ?
watch the measly critters squirm! 1
shall ne'er again be happy till with
water I am filled, but you'll simply
have to boll it. and it ought to be
distilled." I had heard so much of
microbes, I had read so much of
germs, so much twaddle of bacilli,
broached la scientific terms, that my
heart was hot and restless, and my
eyes were seeing red. and I heard
the distant rumbling of the pulleys
in my head; so I smote that aged pil
grim, and I clove him to the chine,
and his pangs of dissolution eased
this aching heart of mime. ? Walt Ma
son.
TACKLES BIG JOB.
Governor Clark says the only
pledge be made was to do all In his
power to cement the factions in Alas
ka. If he does this, he will do soms
thins that no ohrv unui has been able 1
todo. It will be the biggest job ho
ever attempted. The North Star fa
vors giving him a {air fiild and de
voutly hopes that ho will be able to'
make good.
The moment is auspicious for hi)
appearance. There is a lull In the
factloual storms that have swept the
territory and beat against t he nation
al capitol, and he is hailed as the dl
rtct representative of President Tuft
to pour oil on the waters should they
again be troubled. So far us the
North Star has been ablo to observe,
the press of Alaska generally have1
accorded him fair words and will wait
to see what he will do before offering:
comment. ? Cordova Nortn SUu.
"CHIPS'" EVENING PRAYER.
Now I lay mo down to snooze,
I never sold a drop of booze.
The worst they could do was to
accuse,
But if 1 die before I snooze
I hope, dear, Lord, my soul you'll
choose,
Ftor I have all to gain and you have
nothing to lose.
Take nothing from nothing and no
thing remains.
So let me free and I'll return to
Haines ? Written by Warren E.
Craig of Haines.
