There Is No Strike

The City Council has taken vigor ous stand on the question of the post, ing of notices in public places, and the Western Federation crowd have a pretty good reason to believe that the action is aimed at them. This Western Federation, that started out with such show of power has dwindled down until there is now nothing left but the running gears-those who draw the salaries or live at the soup house. All the time the streets of the town have been kept plastered with strike notices, announcing that big strike is on at Treadwell and a lockout and warning workmea to keep away. The fact of the business is that no such thing eX- ists. The Treadweu compan ies are working more men now than when the strike was ordered by the Federation ists, and the truth is that the work never did cease.
 Then why in the world should these men have the right to placard our town with notices that strike exists? Doug las Island has but the one great indus try upon which all the other industries and the welfare of the Island depend. Fully l,5OO happy, contented workmen are employed; and right glad they are to have the jobs. Then why should these people have insulting scab notic- es continually Haunted in their faces, and that, too, by lot of men who are for the most part aliens? We believe the council did the right thing, and that it should have been done sooner

John W. Frame has left Juneau and gone to Cordova. For a number of years John has figured prominently in the affairs of Juneau, and, incidentally Southeastern Alaska, all of which time he has been editor or proprietor of one or the other of the Juneau papers. Like all other creatures in this vale of tears, John had his good points and his bad ones. But now, that he is gone, we will try to remember only his good points. Like the frontiersman who was called upon to of1ciate at the burial of comrade who had died be- cause he was too slow with his gun, we will only say: "He done his damdest, angels could do no more."

Press dispatches say that Governor Hoggatt supports Corson. Corson supports Home Rule, and therefore Hoggatt supports Home Rule. But at the same time Hoggatt says that Alas kans are still to green to make their own laws. We believe that the Cover nor should make a statement for him self, so that the people of Alaska may know just where he does stand on the questions of the hour. It now appears that his over jealous friends have drag ged him into some things that he don't care a rap about.

Mir. Trudgeon, who claims to be the proprietor of the Douglas Dairy, does himself the honor to assert that the editor of the Douglas Island News Is sufficiently interested in him to let personal bias affect his opinion of the milk question. The gentleman is mis- taken. We have no desire to injure Mir. Trudgeon in his business, or any other way. He reseuts the assertion that his COWS are "scabby-looking. " Perhaps we erred. One good lady in- sists that we did, and said: If those COWS haven't got the maug9, I'll eat my last summers straw hat" So, you see, we may have been wrong. However the dangers that turk in milk taken from diseased animals, or milk which is contaminated by filth are 10 well known to be sneered at. Almost every paper that comes from Seattle tells of dairies shat have been closed Oy the City Milk Inspector Henderson or State Milk Inspector Will H. Adams because the condition of the stables and herds is not sanitary. The cows are submitted to a tuberculiE test, all milkers are examined by competent physicians for skin and lung diseases, all bottles and milk utensils are wash ed and then sterilized for an hour; all this is done to prevent the milk dealer from peddling disease and death 10 bis patrons. But what protection have the people of DouglasY None, except the kick made by the newspaper. If any medico of Douglas or Juneau has or will make a thorough examination of the Douglas dairy and is willing to stake his professional reputation on its sanitary and healthy condition let him make the statement over his own signature, and the News will gladly pu blish it, without cost to anyone, for the good of the community.

Inc discovery was made Thursday
that he was suffering from an attack
OF appendicitis and he was taken to
Stormont hospital where an operation
was performed Friday. During the
operation it was found that he was
also suffering from peritonitis and
that his condition was serious as
gangrene had set in.
HIS condition was considered criti-
cal from this time on, though the fact
that he survived the operation for
three days gave rise to a hope of his
continued to improve throughout
Sunday, the change for the worst
taking place Tuesday morning, when
all hope of recovery was abandoned
by the physicians and friends.
Mr.. Dreschel was born in Leaven-
worth, October 25th, 1877. where he
attended the public schools until he
was 16 years Of age. when he entered
Marmaduke Military academy at
Sweet Springs. Missouri. Completing
the course at the academy he return
ed to Leavenworth and in June, 1895,
became associated with his father,
A. j. Drechsel in the mercantile bust
ness.
He remained in business with his
father for a year and then accepted a
position as city representative of the
Brown Shoe company in Kansas City.
He remained with this firm for a year
and returned to ~Leavenworth to ac-
cept a position as city weighmaster.
which he resigned two years later and
resentative and advertising man for
the Bond Shoe company.
In June 1900 he came to Topeka,
where he formed. a partnership with
George H. Matthews in the shoe busi-
ness which continued for a number
nA Mr.
chasing the interest of his partner
and continuing che business at the
corner of Seventh street and Kansas
avenue When this property was pur-
chased by the Prudential Trust COM
pany he moved to the present site of
the Drechsel shoe store on the oppo-
site side of Kansas avenue.
Mr.. Drechsel married Miss Mary l..
Ryan of Leavenworth. April Is. 1900,
and was engaged in the shoe business
with his father-in-law for a short
time. prior to moving to Topeka with
his family. From his first acquain-
lance in Topeka, Mr.. Drechsel has
been identified with the upbuilding of
the city, being one of the members Of
the Commercial club.
BY a strange turn of fate Mr..
Drechsel and his old partner, George
H Matthews whom he had known
since childhood and whose life had
been closely linked with mis- own died
within three weeks of each other. The
death of the two men was sudden
and a blow to their friends as both
seemed to be in the best of health up
to within a few hours Of their death.
Mr. Matthews, who died three
weeks ago, had complained OF feeling
i'll and retired to his home one morn
ing and an hour later was found
where he had died of heart failure by
his physician. who had called to see
him. Mr.. Drechsel was among the
first to attend the bedside Of his old
partner and friend, excepting the i'm
mediate members of the Matthews
family, and extended comfort and
sympathy to the bereaved family.
