HOW TO ADVERTISE TO GET RE
SULTS.
Nearly every mail in Skagway brings
a flood of. advertising catalogs and
ad circulars from the eastern mail or
der bouses with tempting offers and
"bargains" that undoubtedly are instru
mental in diverting many dollars of
patronage from the home merchants
to enrich the well lined pockets of
the mercantile pirates who conduct the
mail order business.
It is poor policy to patronize mail
order houses, la the first place they
do not supply goods of the same qual
ity that are furnished by the home
merchant. In order to greatly under
sell they must of necessity furnish' an
inferior article. In the second place
no town can exist for long unless its
people patronize home industries.
The constantly increasing business
of the mail order houses, which now
rtaches every quarter of the United
States, is certainly an object lesson,
however, on the practical value of
INSISTENT ADVERTISING. These
houses spend millions of dollars every
year, in the aggregate, advertising,
their goods. They get results by in
sistency. A single blow of a pick
will not break through a brick wall
Repeated strokes, however, will force
a breach.
The mail order houses act upon tha
principle They keep everlasting ham
merlng away. And their advertising
pays dividends.
No one seriously disputes the value
of advertising. But to be of value
advertising must be directed, like the
assault of a battering ram, to the
vulnerable points. The advertiser
should see that his ads tell the truth,
first of all; that they are timely aud
attractive and that they reach the
reader. And he should keep hammer
ing.
Results will come.
THE REAL. RULERS.
J. Pierpont Morgan has recenUy ac
quired control of the Equitable Life
Insurance company. Morgan probably
controls more wealth, and wields
more actual power than any man in
America, wkh the possible exception
of Johj? ,D. Rockefeller. It was not
altogether a figure of speech that
a certain magazine recenUy ran a
series of articles on Morgan. Rocke
feller. Harriman, et al .entitled "The
Real Rulers of America." These
men not only rule In the world of
finance, but have as their aids senat
ors, representatives and politicians
cf high and low degree. It is this
political interference and domination
and the consequent shaping of laws
to farther exploit the people ? the
"protective tariff" for instance ? that
has caused popular indignation against
thei^ methods and the demand that
their activities be somewhat curbed.
The concentration of power is always
dangerous. In this case it is prob
ably the greatest actual danger that
faces the American republic.
Delegate Wickersham has filed a
protest against the taking of the cen
sus of Al^sju in the winter, when
many of the inhabitants are resting
from the labors of the summer and
visiting on the "outside." His pro
tect is endorsed by many of the ter
ritory's institutions, mining und pro
fessional men.? JJouglas News.
The position o? -President Zelaya
Of Nicaragua has some similarity to
that of the drunken rann who sat on
the odgo of au open barrel of gun
powder smoking a pipe. The dictator
of Central America will probably <iud
that it doesn't do to tako liberties
with Uncle Samuel.
The fact that the magnates on
Wall street are delighted with a pe
rusal of the advance copies of Presi
dent Taft's message to Congress will
hardly serve to recommend it to the
"plain people".
The fabulous figures which are be
ing offerde prize fighters now-a-daya
should appeal to some of our promot
ers as a splendid opportunity to or
ganize a fight trust. Why not?
A brother offended is harder to be
won than a strong city: and their
contentions are like the bars of a
castle. ? Proverbs. IS ? 1!>.

Tip to the Wayfarar.
"Well." demanded the stern fared i
woman as she leaned over the red
handled broom, "what do you want?"
"Lady." said the wayfarer with the
long beard and matted chin. "I'm an
actor by profession and in hard luek."
"Well, what have I to do with that?"
"Why? er? I was thinking If you
could spare me a quurter to get a
shuve and a hair cut 1 could set a Job
In the role of Vlrginlus."
She eyed him disdainfully.
"Ob. that's a poor excuse." she said,
with a curl of her thin lip. "Go up to
the town without a shave and a hair
cut and get a Job In the role of Itlp
Van Winkle."
And before be could say another
word she started to unchain tiie dog.?

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys In good
health since, can be relied upon to
perform the same work in other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Fonton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "1 gave a state
rnent for publication, tolling of ray ex
perlence with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all I then said in their favor.
1 was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
1 was obliged to give up my work.
I had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion 1 was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
the kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney 1111s, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. 1
have since had no return of kidney
complaint."
