KNOCKS OUT OLD FEUD

Stanley kctchcps success as prize fighter has effected reconciliation between his divorced parents, or at least truce, or possibly an armed neutrality. His mother has met his father in the warriors training camp and the proud parents are assisting their son in girding up his loins and hardening his biCCps for battle.
 A recent cut on the sporting page Jo an outside paper shows that the fond parents of the gladiator are get ting close together. In the picture only their child stood between them, which seems like d paradox because it is he and his shining business sue cess that have made papa and mamma allies once more.
 So in one case at least the ropcd arena has nearly undonC the work of the divorce court and if Stanley can get time to knock out that unneccs- sary stcp-father his mamma picked up the family may yet be reunited.

Republican Leader Calls Me- braskan and Party Potent
 ial Possibilities

Cincinnati, July 2G-William Jen nings Bryan and the democratic party must not be considered Jokes, nor must republicans belttle the strength of their opponents. Warning to this effect comes from no less d parsonage than Presidential Nominee Taft and was made by him in person during an address delivered last night before meeting of the Ohio state central and executive committees. Mr. Taft cautioned against too much confidence and urged unceasing effort from now until after election,
 Also at last nights meeting Mir. Taft dealt with local conditions and made it plain that everything that has been done in q political way by Arthur Norys, Taft's manager in this state, has been done with Tafts ap- proVal. Foraker's status is to be de- fined today ali special meeting of the executive committee.

Five men have been killed and forty-three wounded. Several of the injured arc Europeans, and the latter wh hcrever seen are being jecrcd and stoned.

 ARGUES" ETIQUETTE
From tho Cordova Alaskan.

The wailing of tue editor of the Valdez Prospector over his failure at Ketchikan to show President Roose- velt that "Govornor Hoggatt is very unpopular in Alaska" is becoming extremely puerile in tone. His peev- ishnoss could well.be endured but last week he blubbered viciously about Governor Hoggatt meeting Ed c. Ha- sey at the dock in Juneau upon the arrival of steamer there and shak- ing hands with him, greatly to the neglect of tho official representatives of s. Guggenheim Esq, of London, England. ....

WARMING FOR GRIEF.

Truly the Cordova Alaskan is in a parlous state. It is grievously angry because the Prospector published as u society item the fact that Gov. Hog gait held a long conversation with Ed Hasey on the Juneau dock, in the belief that Alaska people are more or less interested in the doings of public officials. The Alaskan admits the fact but appears to feel that publica- tion of the story was sinful to q degree and forgets it's logic in seeking to con vict the Prospector of lese majeste.
 Still the Alaskan's "argument" il- lustrates the value of various forms of illogical side-stcpping,. In one brief diatribe it clouds the issue not only with potful of injurious adjec- tives but with the ignoratio clenchi, the illicit process and the undistribu- ted middle. Because the Prospector, seeking to publish the news, described the joyful reunion of two distinguished GuRgenheims the Alaskan reasons powerfully upon the iniquty of tel ling about it.
 The story was told simply and cheer fully by the Prospcctor without dis putting the right of the governor to talk to Ed Hascy or the editor of the Alaskan, and yet the Cordova paper, which constantly aflirms that the governor can do no wrong and that Ed Hasey is an ornament tu society, iS sOrplV apppyrl ,t b, illuminut inu of a news item.

MINERS PLAN ID
 RAISE $IOO,0OO

Denver, July 20-Within short time the Western Federation of Min CTS will have at it's disposal fund of $1oO,0OO for the exclusive purpose of financing strikes. The executive committee of the federation today an nounced that it has levied q per capi- ta assessment that will produce the amount in question and that the fund will be available in short time.
 The officers of the federation de- clare that there is no present inten- ton of calling q strike and that rais- ing the fund is merely protective measure. Those mine owners who have been appraised of the intention of tho federation are, however, more or less fearful that the strike rumors that for some time have been current in certain parts of the country are to culminato in another gigantic labor struggle.

This corporation built up it's monopoly by the commission of nearly every crime defined in the criminal code, including arson and murder, and it is old enough and rich enough to reform.

Chicago, July 29-Abuse of William Jennings Bryan marked the opening last night of the national convention of the independence league. There was single cry of Bryan" and then from all parts of the hall came misses, eat calls and other vocal expressions of dcrsion, followed by demonstra- tion for William R. Hearst.
 Mir. Hearst also berated the demo- cratic presidential nominee, saying that Bryan can be judged by the company he keeps, namely Parker, Taggart, Ryan and other "bank bood- ling braVos." Hearst referred to Bryan as ''knight in motley" and then roasted the republican platform, which he declared to be meaningless.

The Cordova Alaskan complains that Delegate Gale accomplished absolute ly nothing in congress. Well, some body put through the coal bill and pushed the Fourth judicial division bill through tho house at the first ses- sion. And surely the Alaskan will not claim that Governor IIoggatt &C., cured the appointment of the post masters at Juneau, Skagway and Val dez. It is even said that the editor of the Alaskan moved away from Juneau because he didn't want to take his mail from Spickctt.

THE UNGRATEFUL FILIPINO

The Philippine legislature has passed resolution in favor of indc- pendence. And this is the first legis- lature elected in the archipelago since benevolent assimilation by the United States. Ingratitude and trca- son have done their worst. It must have given Judge Taft bad half hour when he read the news and Mark Hanna doubtless twisted un- easily in his grave.
 After the United States government at an expense of several hundred million dollars has injected by force of arms enough of the white mans civilization into the little brown brother to make it appear safe to trust him with government toy he turns and slaps his benevolent patron in the face with that same toy gift.
 Let this be a lesson to the paternal government at Washington. If the untutorCd brown man can be guilty of such insubordination what may not white mon in Alaska do? Nearly all of them have participated in self government in the states and if en- trusted with any governing power in the territory they are liable to follow their own whims instead of taking orders from an All-Wise ruler in the White House or corporate agents in Alaska.
