HOT CAMPAIGN IN OHIO
One of the most interesting political
campaigns tha' will be decided by the
voting next Tuesday is that which is
being waged with much bitterness in
Ohio. It is invresting particularly on
account of the lo alquestions that are in
volved. The liquor question is one of
the principal issues there. Veiy active
Is the tight of the anti-saloon league
and most of the temperance people and
ministerial association of the state are
waging against the re-election of Gov.
Herrick, who is the republican candi
date for governor. This is admitted to
be not because of any promises that
have been made by his opponent or be
cause of any inducements held out in
the democratic platform, but because
the governor has, it is alleged, re
fused to assist in getting regulative
legislation on the statute books which
he had previously promised to support.
Bishop .Voore. of the Methodist church,
who was in Skagway last summer, has
gone from Portiand, Oregon, to his old
Ohio home and is using all his intluence
to unite the vote of his church against
Gov. Herrick. He says he is a republi
can of republicans but that he
feels it the first duty of Ohioans
to defeat tha: party this year. The
outcome will be watched with interest,
though Gov Herrick will probably win.
DUTY OF THE CONVENTION
The delegates to the convention at
Seattle must be very carefil not to get
to wrangling over selfish interests. If
Alaska is to be served by that conven
tion, or any other gathering of men, it
must be by forgetting individuals auJ
commuaities and by keeping principles
constantly in mind. Alaskans are con
cerned in measures more than men,
and this is particularly a time for the
practice of patrutism rather than sel
fishness. Today the thing of para
mount importance to Alaskans is the
question of self-government. The first
duty of the convention is to make that
fact known to the nation. If it fails in
that it had better not have been.
The grand encampment of the Arctic
Brotherhood should be very careful
how it discusses Alaskan legislation.
There will be a convention within a
week of its adjournment for the purpose
of discussing and deciding upon this
very matter the delegates to wh'ch
will have been selected for that
purpose. A secret organization, repre
senting a por ion of the district only
and of which civic matters is an inci
dent rather than an object, should have
a ca-e not to interfere with the voice
of the psopie. If it can reinforce the
voice all v^ry well. Otherwise it
ehould keep still. It it compromises
with the issues as it did a year ago and
asks only for a delegate in congress it
will not be truly representative of the
great northern district and it will do
more harm than gooJ.
Secretary Taft denies that he will be
a candidate for president in 19?Vj. He
?ivs he will be too busy to make a cam
paign. He has undertaken to civil ze
the Philippines ana dig the l'anama
canal.
Do not forget the miss meeting tc

PAYS TRIBUTE
Charles A. Hopp Speaks of
Judge Gaunison
| Charles A. Hopp, editor of the Doug
| las News, was a juror at Kotchlkaa re
1 cently ana he made use of the oppor
tunity to observe some things about
I Alaskan courts and those men who
. conduct the court of this division. In
an article concerning the latter he pays
a high tribute to Judge Gunnison
which he illustrated with a little
I human interest story.
Mr. Hopp said:
??Judge Gunnison Is young and strong
and full of that joy which goes with a
good digestion. He is buoyant. He is
i happy. There is not a sour streak in his
I whole make-up. He will make a good
judge.
'?One eveninge as the Ju-lge and
several friends were walking along the
main street of Ketchikan, the door of a
saioon Hew open, and an old, greyheaded
man was thrown out and lay, a helpless,
quivering bunch of tlesh and blood,
prostrate on the slippery pavement. It
was evident that the cause of bis eject
ment was a bright, lurid jag. Like a
gctd Samaritan, the Judge stepped
quickly to his side, and gently assisted
him to h's feet.
" 'They kicked me out,' " complained
the old man.
" 'Of course thev did, 'said the Judge,
'Of course they did, and now you had
better go home. Can you make it'?'
"Visibly sobered the man smiled h
feeole smile and replied, 'I'll try, Judge'
and walked off.
"The City Marshal of Ketchikan,
who was a witness to the above, also
su;iled, but he let the old man go in
peac? to his home.
"That's the kind of a man we have
for a judge. Just a straightforward,
whole souled. honest young American.''

UNCONSCIOUS
BEAUTY
[Original.]
There was once a king whose queen
had been so vulti of lier beauty that b |
directed that their only child, a da ugh
ter, should be kept from seeing he;
own features us long as possible. The
queen died when the little princes i
Henrietta was an infant, ami the kin,;
placed her In one of his palaces, where
she was brought up in charge of the
Duchess Margaret, her aunt. Not a
mirror was permit! ,1 In the palace,
and the king ordered the water in the
artificial lakes and basin* with which
the spacious grounds abounded to be I
drawn off for fear the princes* should '
catch the re licet ion <?!' l:er f.ice. l'roui
time to time the diHie s was required
to make reports to the 1: i i 4 con wiling
her charge.
"The princess Is g >\ j;ig to le very
beautiful," the t!u ? re, u'ted when
Henrietta was s!\; en years old, "and
Is absolutely uueou.tcioiis of her
charms."
"Tell lier," replied the king, "that |
she is very homely."
The order was obeyed. The princess,
who up to this time bad luit thought
of her own appen-.iie e. was seized I
with a desire l.t see whai >h ? looked
like, and ti e din ! ?< x\ . . obliged to
double the obstiu tion -he had thrown
In the way of her ?l.>:.i: s.>. Hut In
time she began to 1 11- 'er that the
sight of her w.-Iit: !,1 only dis
tress her, an I si:.' ihn.'.e a vow never
to see a rejection of lier ice.
When she was twenty her father
died suddenly, an 1 sh ? b.-e.r ? queen
Those near her at once br->ke the se
cret of her Ikv.nt.v to her. but she
would not believe , "Now tiiat 1
atn queen you ar ? ii <!: I to Hat
ter me," she said, "/n I. ih.ni; . I be
uglier than Medusa, ' .von I | make
uie believe I am beautiful as Venus."
Her first edict was t' t :"i ?> being
Instrumental in - < >v ?; her ! r t'ea
hires should at once l e belie 1 ' d.
Many neighb >; lng p"!nce< > r iposed
for the hand of the qttceu. but slie, be

when they came I ? . her they would
be shocked, and she wotiM K.- ten te
none of them.
Now, the Queen 1! a: 1.1. ing r
woman with no strong in: .>!??;? sup

became the prey of several tall 11:
tlons, whose rulers planned a:i lianc

For some time a ;--i;iig Thco
dorus, had been rlsinif ilir ? . : merit
alone from one contman 1 to another,
and at last the queen decided to ap
point him her general In < liii She
had never seen him. In teed, she knew
nothing of him except what he had ac
complished in her m i vice.
Meanwhile she was >o troubled about
tier affairs that 110 one dared risk being
Instrumental in showing her that she
was beautiful Instead of ugly. for li.
her present mood even the discovery
that she had been mistaken might lead
her to deal unmercifully with her in
former. This as well as the success of
her foreign enemy showed 1 >\v laekln
In bravery were her own iimn.
No sooner hail the young genera,
come to the supreme ... d than
the tables were turned against tli
?jueen's enemies. In a s. ric - of battle
In which he display, d not only giv.i
vigor and genera! hip. but p .tsiiiiu
bravery, he routed i' - of hi
foes, laid waste their ?? ..:.:ri- an
annexed them to the k'i.u '..mi of h;
sovereign.
When the war was over great props
rations were made at the capital to re
L-eive the victorious art y. l?t .'ore his
arrival the queen had m. ie T ?.?'.oru;
a prince, but this was toly the begin
nlng of the honors t' t v.ere t j be giv
en him. lie marched li >:i ??? villi that
portion of his army tut needed to con
trol the newly acquired e :les and
rode at its head 011 its e:. ,-y into the
capital. The queen had direct) i that a
throne be erected i:i tr>nt ? her pa!
ace upon which to rc ivo young
hero. For fear he might break the law
she had Issued In r.-g t;\l t ? st ?? ? inghet
her likeness, she s"tit hi;n a copy of tin
edict embroidered on velvet. 1'pou lib
arrival 'it the palace lie threw hiuiselt
from his horse before the tUr "a- and
was about to kneel at th. qutv-a's fee:
when he was startled at sight of her
transcendent beauty. Then it: cad of
kneeling he thrust his polished -hicld
before her face.
The effect was electrical. The queen
gazed for a moment at her features,
then, rising from her throne, knelt at
the feet of the prince.
"Be thou king." she said. "'I am no
longer worthy to be queen, for yoi
have disobeyed my edict and as voir
sovereign I should be obliged to t 'head
you. That I cannot do."
Theodorus. raising iter, led li back
to the throne, then knelt before i "-r.
"Gracious queen." lie said, "I a:n :i?
ready as ever to die in your set '. Ice. K
the field I served an unseen sovereign
and faced death simply from a use of
duty. On beholding your exquisite love
liness I aai ready to die, grateful for
having given you a sight of the bless
lng God has bestowed upon you. I
await your majesty's orders."
Then the queen called for another
throne to be brought and amid the
huzzas of the people ordered the prince'
to sit upon It beside her and the her
alds to proclaim him king, thus signify
ing her royal will that he should be her
husband.
The reign of Theodorus and Henriet
ta waa the most glorious in the annals
of that country. F. A. MITCHEL.
