LION EnTERTAIhS
 PAPER EMPLOYEES
Newspaper Romance Picture Gives Idea and Generous Response
 is Result.

The Lion theater has planned a treat for the employees of the local newe- papers and has issued invitations to the members of the force of the Re publican office to attend. The oc- casion for the surprise is the coming to that popular play house of an ex- cellent film Her Whole Duty" which is a newspaper romance.
 The subject appealed to the manage ment of the play house and it was thought that since the subject is a newspaper subject it would appeal to all the men employed on the papers. This then actuated them to issue the invitations to the men in the mechani- cal force of the paper. and no one will be able to get in unless the invitation is presented at the door.
 There will be also further and other pictures on the program which will be extremely interesting. The theater is very comfortable with plenty of cool ing fans, the chairs are well and com fortabIy arranged, and the opportunity is given for all invited to spend a pleas ant afternoon.

The Buckeye Four Hundred.

This is the title selected by the Bow ker Tabloid Musical Comedy company. at the Empress, for as laughable a farce as they have yet produced. A Hebrew. an Irishman, and a Dutchman, are the three comedy roles, and each one of them replete with many funny situations. William Lawson as the Hebrew scores. He seems to have hit on his best adapted character in the Hebrew, and whenever he is cast for this particular line of comedy, all are assured of an evening of laughter. He delivers the goods in this bill-full measure. Jimmy Gibson-old reliable Jimmy-is up for the Irish. Nuf ced. Jimmy is there with bells on when it comes to handling Irish comedy.

A heart interest story full of the brightness and shadows that go to make mp life will be told in picture at the Lion tonight. The story is called Her Whole Duty" and is one of mod etn newspaper life in a big city.

FOOLISH JAMES.

We are disappointed in Dete- gate WickcrSham again. He has gone off half-cocked, over an i'm agina1y sensation, and he has been brought to earth by cold, hard facts, losing caste before the Senate committee, before which he has every reason to desire to appear great.
 Yesterday he made the bald an sertion before the Senate com mittee that Senator Chamberlain, who is the father of our railroad bill in the Senate, was last seS- sion guilty of introducing bill to give to the GuggeAheims the Cor dova harbor and the entrance to the Bering river coal fields, and that Senator SmOOt aided him in the attempt. Today Senators Chamberlain and Smoot appeared before the committee and proved that our delegate lied to the com mittee; that the bill in question was introduced by Senator Clark of Wyoming, and that Senators Shoot and Chamberlain had mo- thing to do with it.
 Such things make us cross with "Our Jim." We do not believe that we are overly virtuous, or appalled, at miSrepresentations, if such misrepresentatiOns can help the cause of Alaska, but we feel that we have the right to demand that our delegate stick to the truth when the false is so cas- fly proven against him. Chamber lain is today our friend, and has fought bill through the Senate committee which will be the mak- ing of the interior of Alaska. How foolish it was of our delegate to yesterday point out that our friend of today was our enemy ot yesteryear--especially when such was not the fact.
 Such work makes us crOsS.-- Fairbanks ews-Miner.

ouR GREETINGS TO JUDGE
 BROWN..

The appointment of Attorney Frederick M. Brown, of Valdez, as judge of this division to suc- ceed the Hon. Peter D. OVer1leld, whose term of office expires thIs week, came as a surprise yester- day to the residents of COrdova. While the Daily Alaskan had hop ed that our townsman, John \. Ostrander, would be rendered the nomination, President Wilson has made a most excellent selection, and we tender our cOngratula- tions to Judge Brown, against whose ability, honesty and nteg- rity naught can be said.
 Having been resident of Alas ka for a great many years, dur ing which time he has widened his circle of friends, the elevation of MT. Brown to the bench IS a tribute to his worth as an attor- ney and recognition of those qualities that go to make up Ju- dicial timber.
 That he will make good on the bench there is no doubt, and in doing so Judge Brown can rely upon the united support and CO., operation not only of the attor- neys but the. entire people of the Third division.
 The new administration is keeping it's promise and appoint ing Alaskans to fill the vacancies in the federal offices in the ter ritory as fast as they occur, and as a result conditions in the diff ferent localities should improve, to the end that better feeling be created and more confidence inspired among the men and women who are doing their part to develop this new empire.--Cor- dOva Alaskan.
