It beats all how some men will climb up in the world especially school teachers. Here we have Charles E. Bunnell, the late defeated candidate for congress, appointed czar of the Fourth judicial division of Alaska. This appointment proves exclusively two points, viz: That the majority in Alaska does not rule; and that the Progressive Democratic Machine has nothing to do with the distribution of patronage. It was pointed out before election that by electing Wickersham progressive democrats would have all the say about the distribution of pat ronage, but from this appointment, it seems not.
 AS to the new appointee's qualifi- cations for the office, it is another question which need not worry any body Qualification is never considered at least not noticeably so. Doctor Wilson has prescribed the medicine and we may as we'll take it without grumbling. The Doctor knows best anyhow. Besides, wasn't Mir. Bunnell the machines goat at the last elect ton. So, what is the use of talking! He was stamped as the goat early in the game and every goat has al- ways been rewarded. Some of these goats" are grouchy, others are ti- mid and still others have other kinds of appendices; but nothing matters as goats must be taken care of. However, and whatever may be said of the new appoiutee, everybody is agreed that he is a "Nice little felIow."-Ketchi- kan Progressive.
