DEATH OF JUDGE O’DAY, OF PORTLAND,
AN ABLE JURIST AND A TRUE FRIEND
A Cablegram from Portland, Oregon, announces the death
of Judge Thomas O’Day, whom the writer has known
intimately tor many years, and was proud to be numbered
among his large circle of friends. A gifted, genial, generous,
and a true man in every walk of life; his death, just when his
sun reached the zenith, is a loss to the world, a measureless
loss to his devoted and lovable wife, a great sorrow to his
friends. By nature he was a large-hearted man, although a
great student, and down deep was a most intense American;
there was no other nation except our American nation, no other
people save ours. He had a wonderful sense of humor, n
lovable companion everywhere. On many lines he was a most
capable man, honorable and true to every trust, and lived a
blameless life. Still if lie knew he was about to die he fur
ther knew that no reproaches would follow him out into the
beyond. He was just weary and laid' him down to sleep. May
that sleep be sweet.
Judge O’Day came west from Nebraska in the early days,
and immediately entered upon the practice of law at Port
land. His close application to his profession, together with
his natural talent and ability, soon resulted in the acquirement
of a lucrative practice. A few years ago he was induced by
the Governor of the state to fill out an unexpired term on tin*
bench, which he did with credit to himself and the public. In
politics he was a staunch democrat, and being an orator of
considerable force and ability was frequently called upon in
presidential campaigns to tour the western states, with other
prominent spell binders.
Although his health has not been of the best for some time
past, the sad news of Judge 0’Day’s death comes as a very
great shock to his friends, and the most profound sympathy'
goes out to Mrs. O’Day in her great bereavement.

In many places a clean-up day program is being arranged.
Cordova well might emulate the example.
-:o:
Grand Duke Nicholas says he will hang any contractor
found guilty of graft. Imagine the decoration on one of Cor
dova’s ornamental lamp posts under Duke Nicholas.
-: o:
This is the last week for registering before the books are
closed. Every person entitled to vote on April 6 will be en
rolled—and possibly a few who have no legal claim to the bal
lot.
---:o:
The authentic railroad news from Washington is far from
being discouraging, but the Seattle rumors come so thick and
fast that it is difficult to tell where the tenninal of the govern
ment trunk line is to be located.
---;o:
Even the “Board of Strategy” of the Citizens’ ticket,
which met yesterday in secret caucus, sees the handwriting
on the wall, and a desperate effort is to be made to save at
least one man from the avalanche of votes that will bury the
party, Tuesday, April 6.
-:o:
“The planking of Front Street,” as told by Mr. Feldmann
in Friday’s Times, was a body blow to the Citizens’ ticket.
The article set forth in detail the true circumstances of that
public improvement, and was a direct contradiction of the many
false statements made by the enemy.
-:o:
The “wets” in the territorial legislature won out on Sat
urday. Action on Representative Snow’s prohibition bill
was indefinitely postponed, when it came up for its first read
ing. The measure provides that the liquor question in Alas
ka be submitted to a vote of the people, and the communities
in which a majority vote was against the sale of liquor should
go “dry.”
-;() ;
The editor of the Ketchikan Progressive evidently had
in mind certain Cordovans who are maligning their neigh
bors and fellow townsmen, when he wrote the following editor
ial paragraph: “We sincerely believe that the time has come
for us to take notice of our shortcomings. To believe that
all the rest of mankind is dishonest but ourselves is all non
sense. As a matter of fact t oreverse this notion might suit
many cases best.”
-~-:o:
1). A. Mosser, who is a candidate for Clerk of the School
Board, 1ms made an important announcement and one that
has the ring of a true patriot. Mr. Mosser is not seeking
office in order to draw a salary, and if elected pledges himself
to donate any compensation that goes with the position toward
a fund for vocational training of the children. He also places
himself on record as being desirous of making the school of
Cordoy^ one of the most advanced in Alaska, and to that end
wili work with the other trustees.
-:o:
'A large number of base-ballists were at the park yesterday
afternoon and indulged in a little practice, which reminds us
that on Wednesday evening there will be an entertainment at
the Empress theatre, the proceeds of which will go towards
wiping out the indebtedness against the public park. By at
tending you will not only witness a good performance, but
will also contribute towards clearing the deficit in the treasury
of the Park Association. When this is done an effort will
be made to secure funds necessary to put the grounds in good
condition for the coming season.
The People’s ticket continues to gain strength each day,
and it is now generally conceded that its seven councilmen will
be elected.
--:o:
Have you ever compared last year’s and' this year’s plat
forms of the Citizens’ party! They make mighty interesting
reading.
