GOD’S ANNOINTED
As was said by Senator J. R. Heck
man in his telegram of sarcastic con
gratulation to^the Juneau Republican
Club, one would well suppose that the
little coterie of near-Republicans who
constitute that Gastineau channel or
ganization had been chosen by Him
who rules the destiny of the world to
dictate to the party throughout the
territory, to select all the officers for
the next administration.
From governor to commissioner
the Juneau club chose its members
to fill all the offices of the territory
and division. If reports be true that
there were only twenty present at
the meeting, it was too bad for there
were hardly enough of them to fill [
all the offices, and it would have been |
calamitous if they had been compelled |
to recommend someone outside of j
their select few for even a berth asi
game warden or dog-catcher or what
not. That would have ruined the
plans for the beautiful closed cor- j
poration that was being perfected. It
is to be hoped that this Juneau organ- j
izatiou will at least permit Ketchi- j
kan,. Cordova, Seward, Fairbanks,
Nome and other towns to choose their \
postmasters at least.
The political situation in Alaska is
just what might have been expected.
The same old selfish bunch of Ju
neau would-be politicians are trying
to hog everything in sight, and they
will come pretty nearly doing it un
less the Republicans in the other sec
tions of Alaska join hands to shut
them out. Juneau is going to try to
grab every office in the territory, as
their organization has shown openly,
and for protection it become neces
sary for Ketchikan, Cordova, Anchor
age, Fairbanks, Nome, WJrangell, Pet
ersburg, Skagway, Haines, Valdez and
every other community to get to
gether, to prevent the grand coup
d’etat. United these towns can make
their Juneau brethren give them not
only a square deal, but also can make
them beg lor mercy.
Almost every town in Alaska has
put forth a candidate for some office
of consequence, but it was left for the
territorial capital organization to at
tempt the capture of all offices.
The people of Alaska overwhelm
ingly said at the last election that
they wanted a change of administra
tion in the territory. Their verdict
was unmistakable and likewise will
the voters show their condemnation
of the next administration if any star
chamber proceedings are attempted.
Uncomprising autocrat that he was.
Shackleford in his balmy days, never
attempted such a dictation as that of
the Juneau Republican organization.
He could not get away with it and he
knew it. The Republicans through
out the territory should at once teach
tho Juneau Republicans that they
can’t get away with it either.—-Ket
chikan Chronicle.
THE USUAL SQUALL
The usual tempest in the teapot
has arisen in Alaska over the prob
able federal officials to be selected
Aspirants for office in the North are
already battling over recommenda
tions for the particular position tc
which they aspire. Senator Suther
land has escaped the tumult by an
nouncing he is not making any recom
mendations, and J. C. McBride, Re
publican national committeeman, if
sitting tight gathering in applies
lions with a view of making up hit
recommendations at some future time
not announced.
The editorial page of the Alaskt
•ispateh can see the humor of th(
situation. McBride can come abou
am near playing a pair of nines fo:
two aces or duces as any fellow in th<
•orth. He Inclines toward sociablllt;
along about the time the other fel
low has passed his usu»l bed hour,
and there must be more amusement
than worry for McBride in the pres
ent situation.
The Alaska Dispatch believes the
public is going to get a pleasant sur
prise when McBride finally lays his
cards on the table. He has expressed
a desire to give Alaska an efficient
administration under President Hard
ing, and few will get by his acid test
when that time comes. Alaska needs
strong, vigorous men in official posi
tions during the next four years. —

THINGS WE THINK
Thing* Other* Think and What We
Think of the Thing* Others Think.
Dullest people make the best tools.
Misfortune gives a post graduate
course in experience.
Talk is cheap—so why not speak a
kindly word now and then.
You can't buy any but cheap
friends.
Many an optimist would be a pessi
mist if things weren’t coming his way.
You can t make amends for forget
ting to take a stitch in time.
Don't be so darned good to yourself
that you haven't any to pass around.
Your ability to do thiugs in the
future depend upon what you are
making of yourself now.
Man will laugh at woman's ways—
but still they are just the things that
make him love her.
You can’t blame a formerly hen
pecked husband for being afraid of
his wife’s ghost.
How many ironclad promises a man
makes that he would never think of
backing up with collateral.
Many of those who come into the
world half naked will be able to com
plete the job after leaving it.
You can't expect to find a very high
value placed upon religion in a coun
try where you can get a whole set of
gods and goddesses for two or three
dollars on the easy payment plan.
"Rag time preaching" is condemned
by an eastern bishop. It does seem as
if the teachings of the Savior would
be difficult to harmonize with that
kind of a tune.
Mexico acts like a littlq boy who

Rooster purchased at a meat mar
ket was found to be loaded with gold
nuggets, and the butcher is likely to
be prosecuted for charging chicken
prices for mineral.
Men and women are perverse and
inconsistent anyway. A man w'ouldn't
walk on the street with a woman who
had a Qigar stuck in her mouth or
who was squirting tobacco juice into
the gutter, and a woman wouldn’t
walk down the street with a man
whose outside clothing allowed his
underclothes to show through.
WRANGELL MAN
IS ADMITTED TO
PRACTICE LAW
William L. Paul, of Wrangell,
whose father and mother were both
half breed natives, who made appli
cation a few days ago for admission
to the bar, has passed one of the best
examinations of any applicant in re
cent years, according to Judge Rob
ert W. Jennings, and in due course
will be admitted to the practice of his
profession. Mr, Paul is the son of well
known parents, his father having been
closely associated with welfare work
for natives and his mother a mission
ary and teacher in the same work for
many years.
iLoiiis Paul, father of William L.,
with Samuel Saxman. was drowned in
1887 while they were on their way
to Metlakatla to establish a native
settlement there by erecting a mis
sion. It was but a few months later
that Father Duncan finally took up
the work at Metlakatla, upon the ad
vice of Mrs. Louis Paul. For twenty
five years Mrs. Paul was a teacher
and missionary at Sitka and at pres
ent is in charge of the Presbyterian
mission work at Wrangell.
William L. Paul has been prepar
ing long for his new profession, hav
ing attended the Carlisle school in
Pennsylvania from which he was
graduated in 1902. The following
year he completed a course at the
Banks Business college at Philadel
phia. Wjhile attending that school ho
worked as watchman in a factory,
putting in eighty-four hours a week in
his employment, in order to earn
enough to pay his expenses. In 1909
ne was grauuatcu num w nn»ui
college at Tacoma, after which he
took postgraduate work in California.
His law studies were pursued through
the LaSalle university Extension
course.
Following his studies, Mr. Paul was
for several years auditor and adjustor
for the Fidelity and Deposit Company
of Maryland. Last January he re
turned to his home at Wrangell and
has been engaged in the fisheries
since then. He has also been active
in affairs of the .Alaska Native Broth
erhood and at the convention held a
few weeks ago was elected secretary
| of the grand camp. He is a Mason
! and an Odd Fellow.
The board of examiners appoint
ed by Judge Jennings to examine the
applicant was made up of James M.
Shoup, chairman, Charles H. Cos
grove and S. A. Plumley. They re
port that they put several hundred
rigid questions to the candidate and
! his answers shown I that he Is well
I fitted for the practice of law. )■
At the meeting of the grand' camp
of the Native Brotherhood. Mr. Paul
was also chosen as representative of
the organization to go to Washington.
D. C., to put before the government
the position of the natives oty many
questions affecting them, particularly
the fisheries, the granting of lands,
and education.
Don't keep your children living in
fear of some fearful punishment or
allow them to feel that they are not
as good as their associates. It will
develop a feeling of timidity that will
be a great handicap in their later
fight with the world.

MURDERER SHANAHAN
BECOMES VERY UNRULY
KETCHIKAN, Dec. 29— It took
four men to put handcuffs on Paddy
Shanahan, slayer of Steve Kagan,
former assistant United States attor
ney, when officers were ready to take
him to Morningside, where he had
been ordered by Commissioner War
der after he had been declared in
sane. It was only after the full
force of the fire hose had been turned
on Shanahan that he was subdued
and shackled by the officers.
Shanahan was brought down from
the federal jail at Juneau last sprin;,
and has been imprisoned in the local
Jail since that time. It is Baid he
escaped from an asylum in Canada
some years ago. As he is a British
subject, there was some controversy
as to what should be done with him,
but as Morningside is where Alaska’s
insane are confined, and there is no
other place for the criminal insane,
he was ordered committed to that
institution.
TONIGHT’S COMEDY AT
EMPRESS THEATER IS
GREAT GLOOM BUSTER
“Down on the Farm" gave the pes
ky gloom bug a frightful wallop. It
knocked him Senseless for a while but
failed to completely annihilate him.
It remains for “23 >f> Hours Leave” to
give the final knockout blow. This
will be administered at the Empress
tonight and tomorrow. Everyone is
cordially invited to attend the last sad
rites. Bring a lot of clean handker
chiefs, and have your favorite physi
cian in close attendance.
Because “23 Vj Hours Leave” will
draw forth veritable tears of joy, and
you will laugh so hard that you may
break your funny bone and need med
ical aid.
To well read film fans, no comment
on this picture is necessary, it stood
out above all others, (he comedy hit
of the season. The two young stars,
Douglas McLean and Doris May leaped
into prominence over night. Never
before had such a joyous mixup of
complications, each more mirth com
pelling than the last, been screened.
The fun is spontaneous, nothing
forced, no slap stick relied on for
effect.
This is one picture that will ad
vertise itself. If you are so unfortun
ate as to miss seeing it tonight, .just
ask your neighbor who saw it, and
he’ll tell you it is the best bet of the
year.
