SHADOW AND REALITY
Seattle finds herself today in the
same condition as the avaricious and
quarrelsome doc that wan crossing
a swift flowing stream with a targe
meat-covered bone in his mouth. As
the dog gazed over the side of the
bridge he saw reflected in the rapid
current below him, the shadow of him
self wiU> a shadowy bono wihch look
ed so templing to his gluttonous na
ture that he imuHdiately dropped the
r?<U article and sprang after the sha
dow.
Just so has the militant commercial
zeal and selfishness of the Spirit City
caused it to drop the real meat of
prosperity and spring after the sha
dow of the Oriental trade.
Whimpering and trembling they
have crawled out of the cold douche
and are now beginning to realize that
shadows are not so nourishing as good
substantial food ? they want Alaska
back again, but don't know just ex
actly bow to got it
John W. Troy, with the Alaska- Yu
kon magazine has been trying to
show Un-m how they ma}' make a
swift run across country and over
take the bone in the swift-flowing
stream, and just a few of them are
puppy-like, getting their eyes open.
The commercial bodies of Seattle,
under Troy's driving have at last
gone on record as favoring some of
the things that Alaska demands ? they
have wired their little messenger
boys in congress to come thruogh
with the goods and deliver their vote
for Alaska's independence ? but like
some messenger boys, one of theirs
is not reliable and it is problematical
whether he wUT or not.
Seattle must dispossess herself of
the notion that the people of Alaska
are suburban citizens of Seattle who
have come up here for the express
purpose of getting gold to pour into
the laps of her merchant princes (?)
? they must be brought to the real
ization that we are a free people in
spirit, if not politically so; ? that we
resent political interference and com
mercial domination from any source.
We want a fair field with no favor
ites.
We believe in the spirit of reci
procity. If Seattle wants to reap the
benefits of commercial profit in the
North, let Seattle Invest some of her
boasted bank surp kisses in the de
velopment of the North. How much
real Seattle mouey is invested in the
North compared with a relative am
uuut of trade? The answer will be
a long minus sign.
According to the Press Dispatches,
Theodore Roosevelt has again spoken
authoritatively on the needs of the
hour as applied to Alaska. He in
sists that the development of Alaska
must be controlled by the government
through the representatives in con
gress. Yes, Theodore, the develop
ment of the coal resources through
government control has been remark
able during the past seven years.
Control through congress with a Taft
or a Roosevelt In the saddle ? it is to
laugh.
SOFTNESS OF *SEALSKIN.
la Rivaled by Hainan Hair Where
Dandruff h Eradicated,
Sealskin Is admired the world over for
Its softness and glossiness: and yet the
human hair Is equally as soft and glossy
when healthy: and the radical cause of all
hair trouble to dandruff, which Is caused
by a pestiferous parasite that saps the
vitality of tho hair ct Its root. Newbro's
Herpleide Is the only preparation that Is
fatal to the dandruff (cerm. Without dan
druff there Is no falling hair, hut a lux
uriant growth of glossy, soft hair is cer
