The Douglas News
In the fight for the people in South
eastern Alaska, no paper in the district
has made a more heroic fight than the
Douglas News, edited by Chas. A.
H >pp, mayor of Douglas. He has been
bold and outspoken, and never stutter
ed once fror^i th| beginning tq.„the<
end. The 4'disreputable characters,/'
that have hung, arouiid Judge Brown,
attempted to terrify him’ by having a
committee appointed by the court to
see if they could not have him called
up for contempt, but he. still continued
to preach the gospel of truth and jus
tice and wa3 one of the first men call
’ ed upon by Judge I)ay when here.
Opposed to him at all times was the
court's organ, the Juneau Dispatch.
Now the tight is over and the victory
won, and it is up to the Douglas peo
ple to say whether they will continue
to give their patronage to their home
paper or continue to feed those "dis
reputable characters" whose hands
were always at realtor s throat
while he was standing up for their
rights and their homes. Friends with
honeyed words while the sun is shining
are found everywhere, but when it
comes their turn to go up against some
4 Port Arthur/' they whinny around
and say ; “Oh well, let bygones be by
gones, or some other drivelling twad
dle, that would provoke a Japanese
patriot to assassinate them on the spot.
To hell with such friends! The busi
ness men of Douglas can no longer
claim that they are “afraid to antag
onize the disreputable characters'’ who
used their “bad influences” to rob them
of their rights and their property. They
should be either men or mice for the
whole world dispises a “long-tailed
rat. ’ ’ — J uNisAU Transcript.

Finnigin to Flannigan
Superin tindint wuz Flannigan;
Boss av the siction wuz Finnigin;
Whinivir the kyars got offen the thrack
An’muddled up things t’ th’ divil an’.back
Fiimigin writ it to Flannigan,
Afther the wrick wuz all on agin;
That is, this Finnigin
Rcpoorted to Flannigan.
Whin Finnigin furst writ to Flannigan
He writed tin pages—did Finnigin,
An’ he tould jjist how the smash occurred;
Full mipny a tajus, blunderin’ wurrd
Did Finnigin write to Flannigan
Afther the cars had gone on agin, v
That wuz how Finnigin
Repoorted to F lannigan.
Now, Flannigan knew more than Finnigin—
He’d more idjucation — had Flannigan;
An’ it wore’m clane an’ eomplateiy out
To tell what Finnigan writ about
In his writin’ to Muster Flannigan
So he writed back to Finnigin:
“Don’t do sich a sin * agin;
Make’epi brief, Finnigin!’’
Whin Finnigin got this from Flannigan
He blushed rosy rid —did Finnigin;
An’ he said: ’Til gamble a whole month’s pa-ay
That it will be minny an’minny.a da-ay
Befoore Sup’rintindint. that’s Flannigan;
Gits a whack at this very same sin agin. „
F rom Finnigin to Flannigan
Kepoorts won’t be long agin.”
Wan da-ay on the sicticmof Finnigin,
On the road sup Tintmded by Flannigan,
A rail gave way on a bit av a curve
An’ borne kyars-went ott' as they made the swerve,
There'snobody hurted,” aez Finnigin.
“But repoor ter tnust benuideto1 Flannigan.”
An'he winked at MeGorrigan,
As married a Finnigin.
1 He wuz ahantym’ thm.wuz Finnigin,
| Aa minay a railroader's bin agin.
AiT the shrnoky ol’ lamp wuz bumin’ bright
In Finnigin's shanty all that night— i
