Tin* Juneau Dispatch prints
the following regarding the ap
plications for territorial treasur
er:
The appointment of territorial
treasurer, created by an act of
the lirst Alaska legislature and
one of the appointments to be
made by Governor Strong, is wor
rying the politicians and there
appears to be a great deal of spec
ulation regarding the distribution
of this plum. B. M. Behrends,
the pioneer banker of the terri
tory, is the logical selection, not
because Mr. Behrends is a life
long Democrat, although he has
never been a candidate for office
on party lines, but owing to his
long residence in the territory and
well known progressiveness.
However, it is known that Mr.
Behrends will not personally
press his claim for the appoint
ment.
.linoug me politicians rumor
has it that Harry Bishop has
abandoned his aspirations for
the U. S. marshalship of this di
vision and would not be averse
to receiving his reward political
ly by the appointment as treas
urer.
Chas. D. Garfield, of the cus
toms service, is said to have shied
his hat, into the ring, and to have
a lightning rod up for the ap
pointment. '
Several members of the recent
legislature are said to he willing
to resign if the appointment came
their way.
The declaration of Governor
Strong that politics would not be
considered in the matter of se
lection of officials for territorial
Jnffiees made yesterday indicates
the governor is now considering
appointments.

COLLEGE SPIRIT.
(By George Fitch.)
College spirit is a harmless
form of temporary insanity which
is found on the leading campuses
of our country. It cannot, be
bought in bottles like other well
known spirits, but its effects are
about the same.
College spirit is composed of
enthusiasm, unconventionalism
and lungs in equal parts with a
pinch of brains for seasoning. It
is not used much in the class
rooms but is a grand thing for
the campus. A campus hy itself
is about as exciting as any other
id-acre field. But after a camp
us has been soaked in college
spi, it for a century or two, il be
comes so exciting that a young
man can hardly walk across it
without taking a large bite out of
his hat and giving 99 Rails for
the school.
Without college spirit a stu
dent would study all night tor
four years and graduate al the
head of his class with a caved-in
chest and nervous insurrecl ion of
the stomach. But with a lew
doses of this celebrated elixir of
life and thoroughly guaranteed
monotony cure, the same student
will hang a purple hat on his left
ear, miv a suit <>i eiotlies design
ed liy a cubisl and sing with his
friends in I he street cars until
the police gather him tip for safe
keeping; he will put on padded
pants and a jersey, grab a foot
ball and attempt to bore his way
through a man four sizes larger
than he. is, getting a broken leg
with great thankfulness. He will
insert himself into a revolving
mass of maddened sophomores
and go home in a barrel carrying
one ear proudly in his hand. He
will work all night in the snow,
contracting pneumonia and a
sprained back while coaxing a re
luctant cow who has no college
spirit to crawl through a small
window into the office of the col
lege president.
Because of all these things
some people laugh at college
spirit and think that its posses
sors should be treated by our
leading alienists. But boys who
have’ college spirit seldom get ov
er it, and when iney tackle life
later on, they tackle it low and
hard and only *rin when trouble
kicks them in the slats.
