POLITICS VS. JUSTICE
As an example of unparalled
effrontery and brazen disregard for
anything exoept his own personal
political desires, a recent incident
in which James Wickersham,
who )s in Washington ''playing
politics" tooff the leading role,
is unique and will oause the bona
flde residents of Alaska to rejoioe
greatly that they escaped having
such an unscrupulous professional
politician foisted upon them for
governor. We quote the Juneau
Capital:
"It appears that Judge Wicker*
sham is attorney for the defense in
the Fumival banking case that
wae instituted at Ketchikan and
which wae due to oome before Judge
Jennings this week. As the Judge
was in Washington the fore part of
the week he wired Judge Jennings
asking that the case be continued
until he could reach Ketchikan.
This was denied by the court. Then
the Judge took the matter up with
the department of Justice with the
result that the Attorney General
wired the District Attorney to de
lay matters until the arrival of
Judge Wickeraham.
It is a known fact that Judge
Wiokersham it not an enthusiastic
admires of Judge Jennings, and
vice versa. And it is a further
fact that Furnival was on opponent
of the Organization at the primary
election last year, And it is rea>
son able to assume that there would
be h degree of satisfaction on the
fcart of the defehle iii the case re
ferred to if it could be tried before
a new judge. And the Attorney
General seems to be impressed with
the idea that there would be no
disrespect to the godttesB of justice
if there were a reasonable delay in
the trial of the case, possibly until
a new judge qualifies,''
Street-car paen are supposed to
be extremely gruff and absolutely
devoid of humor, but not so. An
old lady who was visiting: in Seat
tle recently asked a conductor: “If
I ooulJ stand with one foot on each
car rail would I get shooked?’1 To
which the con. made the courteous
reply: “No, madam, but if you
could stand with one foot on the
rail and the other foot on the trol
ley wire, the whole community
would get shocked."
A head-line in the Juneau Em
pire announoes: “Maud Loses Both
Propellers.” We suppose now the
unfortunate girl wiil have to walk
Ml her hands,

A WBMJNG AUCTION
Once upon 9,time the make-up
toftn on a newspaper .was present
ed with a bottle of moonshine and
drank It. Then he started to mike
UP the paper (which used a .lino- i
type maohine, casting each line of
type In one piece.) He dropped a
galley of type containing ns ac
count of a wedding and ap auction
sale notice, jumbling the type all1
iitfO a mess. When he had it pick
ed up he forgot about there being
two items, and threw them into one
story, which read something as
follows:
