Poor old Charles K. Hughes is now being accused of
a lot of things but accusing him of trying to kill the Al
aska railroad is the limit. For years he has been on the
supreme bench of the Tinted States and probably read
about the government railroad in Alaska as he would read
about dredging a harbor at Tiinbuctoo. Here's a bet of
two dollars to one that if you ask him to point out on the
map where the railroad is he couldn't do it. And why
should he have the least wish to kill the railroad? What
would the poor man gain? As far as one can penetrate
the vaporous agitation he is supposed to be in league with
the Guggenheims, the bloody villians, in order to win the
presidential chair of the United States which he can only
do by handing the head of the corpse of the Alaska rail
road to King Herod, Karl Warwick or Simon Guggenheim
or whatever alias that Machiavellian wretch is now post
uring under. Just imagine it! A candidate for the presi
dential chair of one of the great nations of the earth seek
ing that elevated office by promising a few millionaires
who have onlv as many votes as thev have numbers that
% % «
he will do as they are alleged to wish if he can only secure
their support.
In the first place it is to be presumed that a man who
could be such a villian should have been found out after so
many years of public life. In the second place it is evi
dent that the Alaska railroad would cut no more figure in
a presidential election than would some government irri
gation ditch that you and l and Charles Hughes never
heard of. In the third place the Guggenheims have shown
that if they were ever opposed to this railroad they have
given up everything of the kind. In the fourth place the
presidential candidates have such questions as Woman
suffrage, Philippine independence, the tariff*, prepared
ness, merchant navy, peace with Mexico, peace with the
warring nations of Kurope, immigration, the trusts and
various others to contend with, each of which when com
pared to the Alaska railroad is like a continent compared
to a clod of earth. And in the fifth place it is so palpably
rot, rot, rot that one wonders how any normal intelligence
can harbor the idea for a minute.
Xo doubt there are people living in some village near
a government irrigation ditch down south who are obses
sed with the belief that on their town and project hinges
entirely the result of the coming national election. This
sort of hallucination is possible very often in those who
have given their thoughts entirely to some particular af
fair* and whether they are to be blamed or not there is
one thing certain, and that is that the majority of people
should let it be known in some way or another where such
people stand. Otherwise harm may come.

turn to the mine, taking passage on
Frank Nelson’s launch, with several
other passengers. Mr. Nelson states
that when they arrived at the land
ing he ran the bow of the launch up
on the beach, alongside of the dory,
which belongs to the men at the mine,
and which is kept anchored off the
beach a few yards with a rope running
to the shore. Erickson had a pair of
rubber boots and a bundle, which
were handed to him in the boat. He
pulled himself ashore and when the
launch started away he was standing
on the beach. A few minutes later he
was seen in the boat bailing it out.—
