THERE are many matters in
public life that only receive the
attention Of the people generally
during a campaign, and just why
people should pay no attention to
matters that they become
wrought up over during a cam
paign, we do not understand.
During the last city campaign
more was said about one man
holding a position with the city
at a large salary than any other
one matter. Since the election
the duties that claimed his atten.
ton is costing the city as much
as ever, and there is not a word
said. If people do not want such
things during a campaign. why
is it that they forget it so soon af-
ter the election is over.

How can one expect to see

He Wanted to Know

Justice Harlan, of the United States supreme court, recently celebrated the golden anniversary of his wedding and the event brought to light some stories of the stalwart jurist. One relates how the justice was riding toward Washington on a sleeping Car from Louisville. Before retiring he went into the smoking compartment to get a drink of water. There were half q dozen men in the place and flask had been passed around, the glass used for the liquor. Justice Harlan took up the glass, smelled it and turned on the smokers.
 "Who," he roared in his deep bass voice, "has had the temerity to drink whiskey out of this glass?"
 q did," piped up the owner of the flask, somewhat awed by the great bulk of the justice.
 "Then, sir" said the justice, sternly, "where are you hiding the bottle?"

Stay with your interests in Alaska for they will prove as profitable as your fondest hopes have suggested. Remember that Alaska is just now awakening and activity is beginning in earnest.
 The coal hulk Richard III, which was lost in northern waters, was being lowed between Ketchikan and the Niblack mines, where she was to have loaded ore for Crofton, when the tug Alaskan ran short of coal and the tow was cut adrift in consequence. Capt. Lloyd and crew of five men were taken off and have landed here.-Victoria Colonist.
 There has been 2 great deal said of Alaska's gold, silver, copper, tin, and other mineral resources, and of her fisheries and fur industries, but the country has other essential and natural resources which have not been exploit ed as they should be. The world at large has but faint idea of Alaska's climatic and scenic resources, or con- ditions, which makes living in this region so delightful. The climate and pure air of Alaska make it the most healthful spot in the world, and the scenery of Southeastern Alaska has been compared with that in Central Europe. With reference to Alaska's scenery the territory is spoken of, by those who know, as the Switzerland ot America. The coastal region of Alaska reminds the traveller no more of SwitZ- erland than Norway and Scotland, for there are striking similiarities between parts of these countries; and Alaska does not suffer from any comparison that may be made, with the single eX ception of hotel accommodations and wagon roads. No where else on earth is there a greater or more changing panorama of mountain heights and blue waters, wooded hills and noble rivers, and the scene is never uninter- esting. There is travel to every DOT tion of the globe in search of health and scenery, and there should be travel to Alaska on this same errand. The climatic and scenic resources of Alaska are ideal and the territory should reach out for it's share of travel, which it is certain to get as soon as these resources are properly exploited News Record.

 The territorial papers are beginning to squirt little jets of ink at Governor Hoggatt because he is opposed to Gale and Waskey and other peoples ideas of self government for Alaska. Hay ing accepted office under an admins tration he knew to be opposed to home rule for the territory, it is our opinion that the governor would prove himself an ass to side with Gale and Waskey. Gale and Waskey are supposed to rep resent the people and do what they were elected to do. The governor rep resents the administration and his business is to make the government of Alaska as successful as possible along the lines marked out by his creators. Aside from all this, Governor Hoggatt doubtless knows that the kind of self government that would be likely to be granted for some time to come would be no improvement over the present faulty system of government by de- partmental agents.-Yukon Valley News.

Skagwayan Starts Swastika

The revival of the swastika cross for fylfot, the Anglo Saxon name preferred by some,] which has become a rage throughout the country, is due to r. E. Kern of this city, though the fact is not generally known, says the Skagway AL askan.
 The swastika from the Sanskrit, "svasti," meaning "of good fortune" has been good luck emblem for many ages in all sections of the world.l It is a peculiarly formed cross, each arm of which has continuation at right an gIes all in the same direction.
 Century tells us that this cross has been used as symbol or as an orna- ment since prehistoric times from Chi pa to Western Africa. It is of frequent occurrence on Greek antiquities of the Mycenaen epoch, and later, down to the fifth century B. c. It is common on the prehistoric monuments of Western Europe, and it was often introduced in the decoration and embroidery of the middle ages.
 But it's use has not been confined to the Eastern Hemisphere. The Indians of the American Arctic to the mesas of Southern Mexico use it in their decora- tions. It is frequently found on the blankets of the Navahoes, in the orna- ments of the Arizona and Mexican h. dians and the basketry of the Eskimos and of our own Thlingets. It is always and everywhere the symbol of good luck.
 The Thlingets have called this cross, which we have christened with an old Sanskrit name, "shak-yak-arkie," and to them it is sign of the very best omen.
 MT. Kern introduced the revival of this ancient and universal symbol of good fortune, in this way. He had no- ticed it's frequent recurrence in the baskets and carvings of the Alaska h. dians. He remembered to have seen it also in the work of the Indians on the Rio Grande when he lived at Ell Paso, Texas. When East a few years ago he saw it in the blankets of the Navahoe Indians. This induced him to look ln- to the significance of the cross, and he was at once impressed with the fact that it was something that would make hit. He drew a sketch of the cross and sent au order to Providence, Rhode Island, firm of manufacturing jewellers for various articles of Jewelry containing tue swastika design. The manufacturers were quick to catch the suggestion and they interested other jewellers throughout the United States in swastika jewelry. Hence the begin ming of the revival which bids fair to continue for very long time.
 The hold the swaotika has taken of the public is evidenced by the fact that it was adopted as cover design for February verybody's. People every where are beginning to read and talk about it.
 The adaptibility of this old cross of renewed popularity was recognized by Rudyard Kipling, who used it as a ''magic mark" ill his "Just so Stories" written for the edification of his own children, and published for the enter tainment of the children everywhere.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
MAKES TWO RUNS

The fire department made two
great runs last night, having been
called out twice. The first alarm
came in from the home of j. F. He'd
den up on the hill near the Tonopah
mine. The engine went up Florence
avenue at great rate, and the
horses were as much filled with en-
thusiasm. A defective fiue was the
cause of the alarm, but there was
nothing for the department to do
after its great run, for the blaze had
been extinguished.
Some time after there was an
alarm came in for one of Owney
Dougherty's houses back of the
Alamo, where a live wire had been
playing pranks. The fire was put
out almost as soon as the alarm was
turned in, but the hose wagon went
down to the alarm with another
heroic dash.

IS DISCHARGED
MAN VINO kIIlED DESpERAIpo
u RELEASED From
CUSTODY.

Anthony Bruno. who killed Pete
Firenzi. at Cherry Creek. was last
night discharged from custody by
Judge Brissell. before whom the pre-
liminary hearing was heard last
night. Mr.. Bruno is a farmer at
Cherry Creek. and Firenzi was hard
character who had terrorized the
neighborhood for sometime. On Nov.
27th the desperate went to the Bruno
house and after abusing the proprie-
tor and his son-in-law, turned loose
his gun. The people fed. and Bruno,
returning with a revolver, gave Fir
emf some of his own medicine. One
shot took effect in Firenzi's leg, and
he was laid up for repairs.
While he was recuperating, he
threatened to kill Bruno or one of
his family as soon as he was out.
Bruno sent in here for a warrant for
his arrest, and when the deputy ar
rived at Cherry Creek, Firenzi was
dead. l.. A. Gibbons appeared as
special prosecutor at the hearing last
night, but the preponderance of tes-
timony showed conclusively that
Bruno acted in self defense.
