The troubles of Alaska democrats have culmiuated in open warfare. The outhreak came over Shorthil. w. W. Shorthill holds the position of secretary to Gov. Strong. He held the same po- sition under two preceding governors and it is very probable that by this time he knows more about the governor business than either of them. Short bill is an old timer and knows his Alas. ka well. But a democratic gentleman named Edward l. Wade, who came north few weeks or months ago, with his shirts and socks and democracy neatly done up in a carpet bag, discov- cred the terrible state of affairs exist ing in this section, and he also discov- cred about the same time that he bim self, coming from a long liue of demo cratic progenitors, should by all the rights of the game, be given Shorthilrs job. So he wades right in and writes long letters to President Wilson about it. Letters that the beloved President will hardly have time to read, now that he is SO busy courtin'. But what was more to the point he prevailed upon a Juneau paper to publish the strictly private letter he had written to Woody. In this letter Wade calls attention to the very false statement that the dem
 ocrats here have not brains enough to fill the good paying jobs, and an- nounces his arrival. He intimates rath CT that Governor Strong is not a Ken tuckian. but a Canadian, and any way that that mau Shorthill, who pulls down something like s4,OOO a year, is a republican aud should be fred. In re
 ply to the attack, Mir. Shorthill shows clearly-to the qualification of all con. cerned-that he is a democrat of long standing; voted for Bryan in 1896, just before coming to Alaska, aud voted for Bunnell last fall

mouthpiece of the telephone, turned and
spoke to the city editor.
"Mac says that shooting doesn't amount
to anything. A porter pinked another
porter in the arm. No excitement. He
wants good night"
The city editor nodded, and the copy
reader took his hand off the mouthpiece
"All right. Good night, Billy" he said,
and hung up the receiver.
Sobs placed her story in the chute with
little sigh of disappointment. She had
so wanted to show McIlvane her handi-
work.
That, as has been said, was on Satur-
day. On Monday morning, at nine
fifteen, the paper went to press for the
first edition of the week. At nine-thirty-
five the first copies were brought into
the city room and distributed among
thirty-seven a cyclone broke loose in
the reportorial offices of the Evening
Gazette.
Both McIlvane and 1 happened to be
out on assignments. We heard the story
from our brothers who were present. They
said that there came at first subdued
roaring from the vicinity of Persimmons'
private den; then Persimmons himself
appeared on the threshold--a sight, said
the staff, to make strong man afraid.
He shouted to the assistant managing
editor, who was under his nose, to the
city editor, who was across the room, and
especially to the Special Page editor, who
was standing with an open copy of the
paper in his hands, staring at it as though
he could not believe his eyes. The Old
Mans language, said the staff, had never
been surpassed, either in point, fuency, or
volume.
WHEN the door closed upon these four
menahushfell over the Office, the calm
at the heart of the cyclone. In that calm
the staff became aware of the fact that some
one was acutely unhappy They looked
up, to find Sobs crying desolately at her
desk by the window. Then they knew.
On the left-hand side of the Special Page
flared two-column headline reading:
Two HUNDRED GIRLS Work DAILY IN
SHADOW OF DEATH-DooRs KEPT LOCKED
-FIRE ESCAPES A FLIMsY SHAM.
And somehow, although they did not
UllSu hllOW UIe lllll vi pOpS Sill,
they guessed that this was the story that
had driven the Old Man to the verge of
apoplexy.
In very short time the Old Mans door
opened. Osborn, the Special Page editor,
came out. He looked pale, and tired, and
old. Without glancing to the right or left,
he walked over to the nail that had been
his for ten years, lifted his coat off the
nail settled his hat on his head wrong end
to, and shuffled out of the Office.
A copy-boy appeared at Sobs' side,
spoke in her ear. She rose, frightened half
to death, and went into the Old Mans
den. When she came out there We're no
tears in her eyes, no traces of tears on her
cheek. Her face had hardened into def
mite lines of pain. She too went to her
particular nail on the wall, took down her
hat-she had been so proud of that par
ticular nail!
FIVE minutes later the editorial staff
of the Evening Gazette was proceeding

cisely as though nothing had occurred.
But the second edition contained no hint

it out of the shadow into the sunlight.
And the men and women who follow this
trade are the kindest men and women in
the world. Tell me, am ! right"
Billy McIlvane who had followed the
trade to his own large disillusionment,
looked into the ornamental gray eyes of
the sob sister and lied like gentleman
"Quite right" he said.
I .ATER they rode in gathering trolley
until they came to a radiant entrance
way where men and dwomen streamed. Sobs
was in heaven. She could have clapped
her hands with JOY at the white, bare
shoulders of the women, the fascinating
sickness of the mems silk hats, the gleam-
ing immaculateness of their linen.
Pushing through the stream elbow close,
McIlvane spoke winged words to white
haired, waXen-faced man who stood a
little to one side of the box-office throng.
The man nodded, smiled woodenly, reach
ed in his pocket, and drew out two torn
pieces of blue pasteboard. The doors
opened. They went in. Sobs was dumb
at her companions omnipotence. There
is no power so impressive as the power
to penetrate gratuitously the doors of
theater.
"I think you must be very important"
she whispered as they found their seats.
Doubtless she did. For was she not
child, and had he not led her into fairy
land?
THE mystery who had bought the Ga
zette continued to remain mystery.
But his psychological presence was to be
noted in the altered aspects of the news
papers existence. The old Gazette took
on new complexion. We now boasted
cartoonist, and regulation seven
column humorous artist who drew more
money a week than any two of us put
together.
The Gazette, it was whispered, had gone
out for circulation. Our editorial policy
was shaped to a general glorification of
Big Business. We of the staff who were
trained to see the ghost at every feast
of words, began to have glimmerings of
our new owner.
"The trusts have got us, grinned young
Williams, a lad fresh from college, who
had not yet learned to smother unpleasant
truths.
Said Gardner, another youngster, "Well,
if the trusts have got us, take it may
ask for my raise"
So he went in to Persimmons, and asked
for his raise. The next day he was very
quiet and preoccupied. The rest of us
said nothing; but we knew that Gardner
had listened to pointed homilies on the
difference between young man one year
out of college and forty dollars a week.
Yet in spite of the example of Gardner
there was an ever increasing tendency to
gravitate toward the Old Mans door. If
the Gazette had tossed aside its former
dignity to ask for unrighteous dividends,
we also would toss aside our dignity and
ask.
Some of us got what we asked for;
some of us did not. But the Gazette's
expenses went up. We could tell by the
way the Old Man ripped into our weekly
bills. "Incidentals" were not to be en-
dured. Taxicabs, except in extreme cases,
were entirely unthinkable.
All this served to create an atmosphere
of extraordinary irritation in the city
