MRS. WILLEBRANDTS BLUNDER

Mrs. Withdrawals statement that
Hon. Henry Doherty, the well known
Los Angeles, Cal, attorney, who is
a Roman Catholic, was responsible
for her elevation to office will no
doubt be a most embarrassing de-
veIopment to him. She has demon
strated that she has an over-supply
of .egotism and a deficiency of CON-
nonsense. She has proven to be
worse than the proverbial "bull in
china shop.
This female attorney is alleged to
have had her eye on a Federal
judgeship and to have experienced
disappointment in not receiving it
that has materially added to her
acidity of temper and to that dis
position to injure those, who have
formerly been her best friends and

The death of John N. Lawler,
president of the Union Life Insur-
ance Company, has shocked his many
friends, both white and colored in
this city. He was man with a
charming personality and a loyalty
to his friends that was transcendent-
ly pleasing. He was an adept in his
particular field of labor and pos
sessed fundamental traits, which
were worthy of emulation. We ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathy to his
family. Our greatest hope is that
we shall some time gaze upon his
like again. "Peace to his ashes; rest
to his soul"

Now they are charging that slav-
cry is in existence in the Negro Re-
public of Africa. President King has
invited this Government to send a
Commission to investigate these al
legged conditions. We feel satisfied
that when the facts are known, white
men and not Negroes will be found
to be the originators of the report as
well as the ones responsible for con-
ditions existing there.

The Democratic leaders announce
that they will not solicit or accept
any money from the National Demo
cratic Party. As the treasury of that
great political organization is empty
and overdrawn and has been for
some time past, this should occasion
no surprise.

HARRINGTON TO BUILD
 BOAT FOR TAKU AREA
(Alaska weekly)

Capt. s. c. Harrington of the Bar rington Transportation Company, with headquarters at Wrangell, Alaska, made the announcement this week that his company will branch out this coming season and put a new boat on the Taku River, says the Alaska Weekly.
 When seen this week Capt. Bar rington said: "It has always been the policy of the Harrington Trans portation Company to anticipate business in a new section of the North, and once we start we do all in our power to give service. Some time ago we went into the Stikine River district, and I believe that the residents there will say that we have given them a satis- factory service.
 T like the looks of this Taku dis trict and from the showings that have been uncovered there during the past year, I believe there is suf- ficient business there to support a freight and passenger service, and we are planning on supplying just that need.
 "I have the plans all ready and right after the first of the year will start construction of a river boat that will be 90 feet in length and 36-foot beam. The new boat will be powered with a diesel engine, and will have plenty of power. It will be equipped to look after both the freight and passenger traf- fic, but more particularly the freighting end, as this is the i'm portant end in a new camp. If you want development in a new camp you have to land the supplies and equipment, and that is what l am figuring on. I will also build a good 100-foot barge to be used with the new boat, and will be ready 10 go into operation just as soon as the ice is out of the Taku in the spring. If the business warrants it I may take one of our smaller boats off the Stikine and use it on the Taku until I see how things are going to work out. The new beat that I am figuring on for the Taku, however, will be a stern-whecier, as I believe that type better for tho Taku than for the Stikine.
 q have not yet decided as to whether I will be on the Stikine and the Taku next year, but the chances are that Capt. Hill Barring ton will be in charge of the Taku line and I will spend my time between the two rivers.
 Right now I am ready to con- tract for moving freight up the Taku just as soon as the ice goes out in the spring. I think l will build the new boat in Alaska, pos sibly in Wrangell, and take her across. They can build just as good boat in Alaska as they can here, and as that is where I make my living feel that I should spend my money there as well"
 Capt. Harrington plans on leav- ing for the North right after the first of the year to look after the construction of his new craft.
