THOSE ATTACKS ON GOV. SMITH.

Two little incidents proved both the futiity and the falsty of the attempt to tie Gov. Smith to Harry Sinclair and the Teapot Dome. The first is that when il was discovered by the New York Herald Tribune, perhaps the leading Re- publican paper of the Nation, that of it's political reporters furnished the alleged informa- ton upon which Senator Nye and Senator Rob inson based their attacks the reporter i'm mediately dismissed from the papers service. The other incident is told in Time, the weekly newsmagazne'':
 When parties triumph through mans work in Congress his colleagues
 usually crowd around to shake his hand
 That a curious thing about the Rob-
 inson episode last week. When he sat aF down, when he went out. when he
 turned, observers noticed that other
 Republicans went him.
 When considers how immensely pleased would be the Herald Tribune and the Republican Senators if Gov. Smith could be eliminated from the political picture these incidents disclose that they know him well enongh to know that he has not been mixed in anything that is not square. That is the secret of Gov. Smiths immunity from the attacks of blaekguards and liars. His down rightness is thoroughly understood that the mud they throw is mistaken for any thing else. Even his political enemies know that Gov. Smith is square and they know that the people also know it.

GOV. BONE RECOVERING.

The that Gov Bone is recovering from his late very serious illness is gratifying to the hosts of friends he and Mrs Bone have throughout Alaska No residents of this Terri tory ever left behind them more and warmer personal friends than Gov. Bone and his gracious wife and the Territory has no better friends any where. The news last winter that Gov Bone had been stricken and taken 10 Arizona caused a shock to the people of the North, and the progress of his recovery has been followed with anxious interest by devoted friends That it may be speedy and complete is the wish of everybody.
