A SOOTHING TALK
Tht« laughter and merriment de
veloped by the gratuitous distribu
tion of the Daily Joke’s last issue
almost surpassed the fun and frolic
induced by the great Minstrel Show
Saturday evening. When the polit
ical editor of the Daily Joke is ser
ious the reader is convulsed and :
when he uncorks his anger the nat
ives on the Spit begin to weep. The;
free distribution of the Joke is a|
journalistic rarity that none with a
taste for the bizarre should let go
by. After the Primaries we arc de
termined to work up such a circula
tion for the Joke that the manage
ment need no longer subsist on
ducats torn from campaign slush
funds. A man calling himself a
journalist should be above such sor
did business.
The source of merriment in yes
terday's issue was an editorial under!
a “hearty" caption. It was one of ;
those speckled compositions which j
lias brought the garret editor ot'
the Joke unenvied renown. It was!
spotted and adorned by such classic
phrases as "gang politics”, “politic- \
a) chicanery”, machine cult", mach
ine crowd”, etc. Attention is called I
to the fact that ‘machine’ is his
favorite adjective. The reason for!
this is thought by some mean critics
to he because of wheels in his upp r
story.. The Joke's last effort while:
displaying his great talents was we;
regret to say unsanitary by being
tainted with such expressions as!
“rottenness”, “unsavory”, “muck’ , I
etc. A political editorial is no place
for such trash—it should be left In
tile garret.
Beyond the fact that the Jok'es
last outburst recalled to mind the dis
torted freaks in a dime museum it j
afforded about as much food for
thought as a report of an old hulitsi
party-fully as filling as the froth ;
on a schooner of near beer.
Throughout our long and um vent-1
till career we have been only credited
with modesty and virtue, but now
the old lady of Front Street—in her
dotage confers upon us the honor
and adds luster to our p n 1 -.r cit
ing that we Were eon:;' ct d with
i lie Nome Democrat of ancient and
blessed memory. Nay Paulin , thou
dost honor us over much, we arc but
a humble worker in the Democratic
vineyard pointing the way to editor
ial assinimity.
In our last communication we made
some well defined suggestions trust
ing (hat the oid lady of Front Street
would accept them ns a guide for;
future sputterings. Our kindness !
was ignored and tli Joke proceeded
to place in the garret incubator an-!
other editorial embryo and adver
tised that the deliverance would take
place down stairs “in plain sight of j
all who wished to see". We did not
attend—our tenderness of heart,
overcame our curiosity. What ag- j
iniy, mental and physical, cans’t pic-1
iure greater than would surround I
one watching the advent into this
vale of tears of an editorial of the ;
Daily Joke. Cans't picture tli weep-1
ing and wailing in ease it war based |
upon a wire from New Brunswick. !
But the child-; a puny weak creature
—the offspring of a long Sunday
conference was born and the Dany
joke has dene us the honor of nam
ing it alter our gentle one of a few j
days ago.
It howls long and ardently about
the Fish Bill. But tills is quite eat- j
ural, for it has within its veins the
■cold blood of the finny tribe.
The fish measure introduced by
(’has. A. Sulzer has the support of
the fishermen of Souther.s. rn Alaska,
and is the result of long conferences
wjt.h the flsh-rmen of the lower
country and the Delegate. It has
been thoroughly reviewed by the
press of the coast cities in the
First and Third Divisions with gen
eral approbation, lias the Daily Joke
quoted any adverse comment of the
measure from the press of the fish- j
ing centers? Has it made any ref- j
erence to any protests from fisher-1
men or fishermen's unions or those j
in touch with' the fish industry, con-!
cerning the Bill? Certainly not—
for the simple reason that none are
in exstance. But aside from all of
this if it was a measure as des
cribed by the fevered imagination
of the Daily Joke, the best evidence
of such would be the bill itself.
Why has the Joke not offered it in
evidence instead of quoting small
garbled paragraphs? “There's a
Reason” Such a step would not be
in harmony with its campaign of de
ceit and misrepresentation.
The statements of the old fish i
woman that “it published accurate
digests of both measures” must have
produced a Satanic grin on the face
of the office "devil” when it was
being set up. To suggest “accuracy” )
in connection with the. Daily Joke is)
to laugh.
The same boundless stupidity—
colossal ignorance and supernal gall
is displayed bv the garret, editor of
the Daily Joke, in commenting on
the Home Rule Bill as on the Fish
ing Bill. The Daily Joke is the only
paper in this great territory that
has not given approval in whole or
part to Sulzer’s great Home Rule
Bill. Not one word of logical crit
icism, not a phrase of common sense
docs it bring to bear but bellowing
from the house tops it endeavors to
nbscure by clouds of falsehoods the
great work of Delegate Sulzer. Its
putrescent editorials have become a
stench in the nostils of this com
munity. It cannot urge in mitiga
tion the honest predjudice of zeal
cus criticism for its only inspiration
is th • mercenary spirit.
We would rather lie a doodle bug
burrowing in the dust than a polit
ical editor trying to enflate with
f< tid breath of foul hypocracy the
forlorn hop ■ of a counterfeit candi
dacy.
The Daily Joke prates long and '
monotonously about our “charges, |
the “gang”, etc., but it has yet to |
make its first charge, its first state-'
meat of fact, its first logical argti-,
meat in this campaign. And about]
the "gang”—it would be interest- i
ing indeed to see a list of the I
gang that is daily participating in]
Ih dark conferences with the politi-‘
a! editor. What a conglomeration 1
nf Wick Democrats, old-line Repub
licans. henchmen of doubtful origin |
md ivory-headed carpet baggers. J
And some there are among the crew]
that a few short years ago were des
cribed by the Joke’s honored con- j
temporary of that time, as political |
?houls—a very apt description of]
the whole bunch at the present ]
time,

MARTIN F. MORAN
Martin F. Moran, one of the can
didates for Senatorial honors, £ent:
word fr»m Kiana asking us to an
nounce his deepest regret, for being
deprived of the pleasure of being
among his friends in Nome, during
these strenuous political times. He
said he feels confident of the support
of enough of his friends, to elect
him to represent them in the Senate,
when the next Territorial Legislature
convenes at Juneau.
Martin F. Moran was born in
Shanandoah, Schuylkill County,
Pennsylvania. When seven years
old his parents moved to Kansas.
He came West when quite a young
man. He arrived in Nome in June,
1900, and he has lived on the Arctic
Slope of Seward Peninsula most of
the time since.
He went North in the spring cf
1901. He mined on Hannum creek,
a tributary of the Immachuck river,
during the following summer. He
resided in the vicinity of Candle
creek for several years, until he
wont to the Kobuk, at which place
he heW the position ofU. S. Com
missioner for several years. He has
spent most of the time since he
has been on the Kobuk, in pros
pecting and mining.
Several years ago he tackled the
fox farming business, a few years |
later he abandoned it, and took up
his vocation of mining again. He
is at present prospecting for the
elusive paystreak on Kleary creek,
a tributary of the Kobuk river.
He was elected to the 2nd Alaska
Legislature, and served a3 a Repres
entative of the Second Division, dur

First tiling we know we’re going to have a Bone Dry country
out aiul out. Already tho mighty prohibition wave is engulfing
“demon rum” and the flood gates of righteous antagonism against
John Barleycorn is going to sweep him into everlasting oblivion.
Thousands of men in the country oier are going to shortly find it
impossible to get their daily, most of them their hourly “nips”
and those fellows are going to look up the best bottled drink they
can get to wet their whistles with. They are not going to “get
off” booze, and drink any pink “tea slop” Oh no—they want
something with a delightful relish—a sparkle and a zest, and tho
AKSAliA drink is going to fill the hill to a T-Y-T. Wets every
spot in the internal arid district, soaks it down good. No dust
left in your throat after a bottle of AKSAI.A For sale every
where.
