ALASKANS AND GOV. BRADT
The nature of the inquiry being con
ducted by F. C. Churchill into the
standing and official titness of Gov,
Brady is not "known. However, if it is
desired, to ascertain the feeling of the
people of Alaska toward him and his
qualifications for the office which he
holds it will not be difficult to
determine that it is one of almost unan
imous disapproval.
The people of Alaska want Gov.
Brady removed from office bees use for
eight years he ha< used his official posi
tion and all the prestige he possesses on
account of it to retard tbe development
of the district. They want him re
moved because in his efforts to prevent
them from getting self-government he
has used his official reports and his op
portunities to muke speeches through
out the country to misrepresent to the
disadvantage of the district the condi-,
tionj up here. He has described the
men who are developing the mining
and other resources of the country and
establishing commercial houses here as
a Jventurers and lawless men who pray
upon the Indian, kill and make wild his
game anil deprive him of the means of
a livelihood. He has portrayed the dis
trict as decreasing in population and
the people as being unable to maintain
a government, even if they were not
morally unfitted to manage their own
affairs.
A perusal of Got. Brady's official re
ports and numerous utterances will
show him to be absolutely out of har
mony with those men and women */ho
are claiming the northland for civiliza
tion. From the beginning of his term
of office he has actively opposed every
movement among the people to improve
their civic conditions. He aoused and
lied about the first Alaskan convention
that was held at Juneau, and used his
official position before congress to dis
credit the representative that conven
tion sent to Washington, and he has
followed that policy constantly since
that day. Everything that has been
accomplished in securing the recogni
tion of the right of the people to man
age their own|affairs|has been acquired
over his persistent opposition. It is
recognized that everyifurther advance
along that line, also, will haye to be ac
quired likewise.
The people of Alaska feel that in
their efforts to improve their conditions
it Is sufficient to ask them to overcome
the inertia of congress. They are get
ting sick and tired of having to fight for
their rights against the stubborn re
sistence of one to whose active assist
ance they feel they have a right.
It is true, and the people are grate
ful for it, Secretary Hitchock has im
proved the situation very much by re
fusing to permit Gov. Brady to visit
Washington while congress is in ses
sion. This patriotic action of the sec
retary of the interior and the constant
hammering the press and people of the
district have gifen the governor have
greatly impaired the effectiveness of
his work for ill, but he is always active
and the people are weary of having to
be constantly on guard against him.
Ear* Meeker, pioneer of Oregon,
Washington, the Klondike and other
places, has'discovered to what is due the
greatness of Oregon and Washington.
It was not Senator Benton, nor Marcus
Witman, nor Joe Meek, nor Senator
Lynn, nor any of the other famous and
energetic pi'ineers of the early portion
of the last century, nor all of them to
gether that saved the ? 'Oregon Coun
try" to the Union. It is the os yoke
the crooked, broad-as-and-draw-knife
made maple ox yoke with its hickory
bows to which we are indebted for the
great commonwealths that lie peace
fully In the land ''Where rolls the
Oregon," and hears much besides its
own dashing.
The fact that Got. Brady has been
connected with a stock selling develop
ment company that owns two or three
prospects in Alaska and has promised
to "seize" the resources of this district
(or it does not connect him sufficiently
with the development of Alaska to off
set his yoars of aotive opposition to ani
misrepresentation of those prospectors,
miners and business men who have
given their time and energy to making
the district a producing land.
Norway and Sweden have separated.
The commissioners of the two countries
have reach an agreement forever dis
solving the unioa that has heretofore
existed between them. The terms of
the agreement have not been made
public, but the troops of the two coun
tries have been instructed to keep away
from the national borders. The move
ment of the armed forces away from
the frontier has commenced.
It is generally agreed that the con
vention that will be held this fall
should be in Alaska, but all progressive
people agree that no town in the district
can afford not to be represented at it
because it has been called to meet at
Seattle.

A Pair of Lunatics
[Original.]
My chum, Charlie Fisher, soon after
taking his degree lu medicine was ap
pointed house physician at the Merton
Asylum For the Insa?c. One day he
wrote me that there was to be a dance
at the asylum for the milder patients
and asked me to come up. Curious to
wltuess such a gathering, I accepted
the Invitation. I arrived just in Mme.
Charlie took me Into the dancing hall
and said to me:
?"These patients are only insane on
some one subject, and we dou't con
sider them dangerous. You can speak
to any of them without an introduc
tion."
X chatted with several patients, but
could not detect anything wrong with
any of them. At last I noticed a very
attractive looking woman apparently
about twenty -eight, who excited my
Interest. Her face wore a "high cast of
thought" expression, and it seemed to
me as I gazed upon It that sympathet
ically she was capable of taking In the
whole world. I Joined her and invited
her to dance. She accepted, and I fan
cied she did so fearing she would hurt
my feelings if she declined. After the
dance we took seats together.
"You have a nice place here," I re
marked.
"Yes. When did you come? I have
not seen you here before."
"I came up this afternoon."
"Yes," she went on, "we think it a
very nice place. I'm much pleased with
It" Then she added more to herself
than to me "In spite of the cost above
the contract."
"You seem to know all about It."
"So I should. I built It."
"Indeed," I said to her, then to my
self, "At last I have found one whose
weakness Is apparent."
"How much did you put Into It?" I
asked after a pause In order to draw
her out.
"It cost a hundred thousand. The
contract called for ninety thousand."
"Are you very rich?"
"I have enough to make many people
happy."
"How much are you worth?"
"About n million."
I was surprised at the moderate esti
mate she put on her possessions. I had
supposed she considered herself at least
a multimillionaire.
"What is your occupation in life?"
sho asked me presently.
She seemed so rational on all sub
jects except her wealth and benefac
tions that I concluded to tell lier the
truth. I informed her that I was a
scientist, and when she asked me what
investigations I was then engaged in
I confessed that t was struggling with
the problem of producing conditions
similar to or the same as life.
"What success have you had?" she
asked.
"I think I have produced the life
principle of the lowest order of plants."
She drew a sigh and, rising, said
with great kindliness: "I must leave
you now. I have a great deal to do.
The responsibiliay of this a ffUr rests
wholly on me."
I pitied her with all her fancied
wealth and cares and turned to a lady
who at once informed me that she was
heir to the throne of the Philippine Is
lands and had been dispossessed by the
United States government. I took her
Into supper and. having provided for
her refreshment, concluded I would
go on to the piazza and smoke. While
looking for a match I heard voices in
the nest room.
"I tell you hes as sane as you or i.
"How can a man be sane who is try
ing to reproduce life?"
The voices were those of Dr. Fisher
and the lady who had told me she had
built the asylum. At her reply Fisher
chuckled. "That's good? mighty good
?insane 'icause he's trying to repro
duce lif?. You women will be the
death of me. Why, don't you know
there are scientists trying to do that
very thing?"
"I don't care If there are. They are
as crazy as this one."
? While I listened a sudden succession
of thoughts struck my brain 9s shots
from rapid Are guns. The patient had
thought me insane. I had thought her
Insane. Did she not have cause to con
sider me insane? Was I not a fit sub
ject for bedlam?
"Very well," continued the lady. "If
he Is sane he is certainly not a gentle
man. He asked me how much this
place cost me and how wealthy I em."
This was too much. I could endure It
no longer. I rushed Into the room
where they were and stood facing
them, my cheeks burning.
"Billy," said the doctor, "you've been
making a guy of yourself. Let me in
troduce you to Miss Merton, to whose
munificence we are indebted for this
Institution."
"I humbly crave Miss Merton's par
don," I said abjectly. "I should never
have presumed to ask h?r the questions
I did had I not"?
"Considered her as crazy as yourself.
Ton do her injustice. She Is remarka
bly sane. The only evidence of Insan
ity she has ever displayed was when
she said yours was such an interesting
case. No case Is interesting that is in
curable."
Miss Merton blushed slightly and
apologized for her estimate of me. I
gave up my smoke, and she and I went
back among the patients, and I found
that she knew every one of them and
the especial failing of each. "Theirs
are all harmless delusions," she said.
"Whereas I. a searcher for the causes
of life, you consider incurable."
"At any rate you are not dangerous,"
she replied, "and my curiosity has
been excited by the bare mention of
your attempt. You must come and see
me and tell me about it."
And I did. Miss Merton has now thn
same mania ss myself. I
