 JULY 25, 1908 is A contemporary heads an article: - '.How to Tell Mad Dog" Our ad-
 vice would be not to tell him any
 thing. WI When the 22nd relieved the 10th at VI Fort Seward last month, B of the VI soldier boys secured transfers 70 that .' they might remain in Alaska. ." It seems to be the concensus of ye opinion of both Republicans and Dem.
 ocrats that neither of their temporary
 chairmen..was what could be called ga howling success. 1'
 ar It was . roaring and cumulative ts Judge Parker who set out from New " York for Denver. But the majority yc of the New York delegation proved ht equal to the task of tanning him down dc into manageable shape. v Mir. Bryan got lot of fun by mak-
 ing his enemies dance at Denver; but
 there are many people who believe he .s may have to pay the piper on election " day--and not few who hope other- 'o wise. sD So common has 1t become for Alaska d. to bring to Seattle gold valued at h, million or more, that it will be neces- m sary to ship something that sounds W like billion before any great excite W ment can be created, says the Post S, Intelligencer. ci Cray and Johnson ran at Denver =, about as strong as the allies ran st " Chicago. But Johnson, at least, :, L should be heard from four years :. hence; the allies will have to wait = longer than that for another hearing.
 In noticing the fact that all the n little Central American republics are engaged in war of some kind or an- II other, the Victoria Colonist says they Il ought to form pool and have real c good time, while they are in the hu- D nor for it. The Daily Mining Record says that b Richmond P. Hobson is a persistent is person who wants the United States b to double it's navy without delay. c With all his earnest oratory he finds g the country a careless listener. He is fl merely talking to Japan. G The press dispatches are to the f, effect that Samuel Gompers, president
 of the American Federation of Miners
 has avowed his intention to support
 Bryan and Kern on the grounds that :, the republican national convention ig-
 nored the demands of labor, while the ~ democrats acknowledged them in their Denver platform. A party ..of government engineers l has started out to survey the Hudson a Bay railway, which it is proposed to 0 build from Port Simpson to Fort 4 Churchill, which will form trans s continental line 1,7O0 miles shorter i than any other. The project smells g very strongly of bait designed to r catch more dominion and provincial ? government subsidies. fl Probably we all ought to know who . John w. Kern of Indiana is, and why
 his name should be greeted with en- thusiasm by the Democratic conven- tion, when he was named for vice. a president. It is another case of Adlai !, Stevenson. When he as nominated, |; nine-tenths of the newspapers in the z United Satets had never heard of him r before. - .-
