JUDGE WlCKERSHAM
 AND Ills FRIENDS

! JUNEAU April ll.-Io the Edi- tor-The old.time supporters of Judge Wickersham are restlye. There is no mlstaking that fact They have found a little rift within the lute, fly In the precious ointment of their happiness. For Judge Wick ersham has turned him from the gods of his youth and is found worship ping in strange temples. Of course. the Judge says 1t Is all right and that alls well with the world Pos sibly it ls but to many his words are Q mockery. desolation, an as- tonishment a hissing and a curse. At least that is the way a great many of his erstwhile supporters look at 1t.
 The Judges letter to the delegates of the Seward convention is in its way a masterpiece; but the very la- bor bestowed upon 1t betrays the anxiety and embarrassment Of the writer. Somehow. to his nearest friends, 1t fails to carry conviction; at least not tho sort of conviction 1t was meant to carry. He admits that deal has been made but re- fuses to disclose the terms. Mr. Shackleford at this end has been more frank. He says that Judge Wickersham Is to have the nomina. ton while he is to have the patron age. This the Judge admits in part, and denies in part; but nevertheless tries to leave the impression that he has got something for nothing This is doubtless for the consumpt- ton of the consumer. Heretofore the Judge has been satisfied to ac. cept his high office directly from the people of Alaska without the inter- position of the party machinery, that had been lost, stolen or mislaid-I forget which. Any way It was not available. Now, however, he is con- tent to receive it from the hallowed hands of Mir. Shacheford. A shadow, so to speak. has been projected be- tween Judge Wickersham and the sun The result may be a chill. Quien Sabe9
 The fact is the Judge has attempt ed to bind his principals beyond the scope of his agency. In other words he has agreed to deliver certain goods which he was not authorized to deliver His principals object and rebel It would have been all right for Judge Wickersham to have ac- cepted the nomination if 1t were of fered to him by the Seward conven- ton. It was quite another thing for him to bargain for 1t in advance with Mir. Shackleford and Mir. Shackle. ford's aggregation. Not only did he bargain for the nomination. but he incidentally and lmpliedly bargained away his own supporters and deliv- cred them like so many sheep into Mir Shackleford's holy keeping. That is the trouble; there's the rub
 It should not be necessary to knock down the gentle reader in order Co make him see the probable result Of all this. Given a good Democrat, moderate support and no Presiden- tial blessing (we will dispense with that this time) and the next Dele gate from Alaska ought to be re- ceiying the personal congratulations of his Chief early next March
 Respectfully.

PAPER IS SOARING
 TO HIGH VALUES
 IN UNITED STATES

Warning having recently been is- sued 5s the department Of commerce in the form Of circulars sent broad- cast throughout the country, as to a shortage of paper, a second notice has been received in Juneau 10 the effect that a virtual paper famine is facing the United States owing to the enormous advances in prices of the materials used to make paper
 From 20 to 1000 per cent. is the ratio of the increased prices caused by shutting off of supplies from abroad. and there seems to be every indication that the prices may go higher.
 Among the increases in cost of ma terials used in making paper are. Rags. 100 per cent; soda pulp. 30 to 90 per cent; alum. 300 to 400 per cent: rosin. 40 per cent. wire screen. 25 to S5 per cent; felts, 50 per cent: bleaching powders. (chlo- ride). 1000 per cent; and none to be had: colors. 500 to 2,5OO per cent; casein. 25O per cent. and soda ash. 300 per cent. Bleached sulphite, which was formerly sl5 a ton. is now worth Sl1O Q ton.
 Bag Supply Cut of
 The shortage in rags comes from the fact that munition makers are using quantities Of cotton rags for explosives. with the usual vast Quan tity of rag importations from Eur ope cut off. Chlorine of bleach, the supply ,of which has also been shut off. has gone up from IF to 15 cents a pound and the domestic makers are busy with chlorine gas and chloroform.
 America has in the past bought considerable paper and pulp from Germany and Sweden. both countries using Russian wood Co make their products. With Germany cut out at once, stocks on hand of paper In this country soon began to run low. And Sweden. to make matters worse. could not obtain supplies of the Russian wood required and her mills had to shut down. In this contingency the European mills turned to Canada for pulp which formerly came to the United States. With high prices and a scarcity of the chemicals and dyes used that Germany once sold to us the woes Of the paper users were complete.
 Demand For Paper Increases
 Tho war brought an increase in the businesses using paper in the world Extra newspaper publications. enlarg- ed magazines. an unprecedented out flow of war pamphlets and books. all combined to drain stocks of paper already short. South America. Asia, Australia and even European coun- tries began to buy paper in Aemerica and to offer big premiums over exist ing prices. The combined demand at present is said to be several times as large as American mills can supply. so that dealers. not knowing just where the market will go. will not be surprised if paper advances in price as much as 100 per cent

State Fair Amusement List Well Filled

just what base ball lovers are going
to have a chance to see in the great
national game. Last year the season
closed before the state fair opened,
but this wear the league will be doing
business at the old stand and putting
in the full-length season. Lincoln in
the Western league is scheduled to
play the first two days Of the fair
and the rest of the week in Sioux
City, but it is possible that these
games may be transferred to Lincoln
in order to take advantage of the big
crowds which annually visit the fair.
This is frequently done, and base ball
lovers may have chance to see
Western league ball as it is played
sometimes.
Take it all around, the amusements
at the fair this year will be so st.
tractive that none need fear that they
will not have a grand, good time.

Those who have been in the habit
Of attending the Nebraska state fair
and have become acquainted with the
tall stone building at Twelfth and o
streets will be greatly surprised when
they reach Lincoln this year TO see
the magnificent new building into
which the former tenants of the old
Burr Block" are now moving.
The building now stands remod-
eled into beautiful ten-story Office
building, modern in every way and
with marble hnishings not shown in
any other building in the country.
The building is only half completed,
the front half having been rebuilt first,
but by January the company hopes
10 have the building entirely finished.
Standing as 1t does on the corner
whichAis the center Of Lincoln's bust
! ness industry, the building will always
be in demand as place for business
offices, the Central National bank &C.

curity Mutual will have its home in

Where the People

The Inolorious Dead

To the Editor of The Republican:
 From Iowa's state prison in Fort Madison comes this heart broken and heart t-breaking description of drunk ards death inside prison walls:
 "Shunned by the living and separated from the resting place of the honored dead, this spot is certainly the saddest,
 loneliest spot -in all this region. Yes,
 here, if nowhere else, the dead are
 equal. No proud monuments or saintly
 epitaphs are seen, but plain white
 stones with lettering suggestive of the
 markings of-sin on once clean lives. A name, which perhaps the sleeper s father never heard, a number telling all the dishonorh and below, the duration and end of an earthly pilgrimage nothing more

Bridges in actual practice are never burned behind advancing army, though we think there is at least mythical account of such an exhibition of strategy when the victorious mander ordered the bridges burned in order that ha troops might know that their safety lay only in a complete victory.
