THE SKAGWAT RESOLUTIONS
The resolutions adopted by citizens of
Skagway again emphasize the persist
ent demand of Alaskans for home rulo,
and tbey raise another Issue which can
not be whistled down by those who con
tend that the northern country is not
yet ready for a territorial form of gov V
eminent. The resolutions "deplore the
?iTorU of the governor to discredit the
delegate the people of Alaska have
elected to congreM." and then dtclares:
"That the Secretary of the Interior
should aot allow the prestige of the
chief executive office of Alaska to be a
factor in the lobby at the national capi
tal regardless of whether or not spe
cial interests have lent their influence
to his appointment."
That is an ugly charge to make
against Gov. Hoggatt. It means, if it
means anything, that the present gov
ernor of Alaska has been using the
power and influence of his office at the
national capital, not to serve the best
interests cf the people of Alaska, but
to pay a political debt to '-special inter
ests" which "lent their influence to bis
appointment."
It has been a sumtd that Gov. Hog- 1
gat i was sincere and honest In his belief
that Alaska was not yet ready for a
territorial form of government. The
Skagway resolutions challenge this as
sumption.
This charge cannot be passed over.
It is deliberately and seriously made by
American citizens who are demanding
their just constitutional rights. It re
flects upon the povernor of Alaska.
The authorises at Washington must
consider it. The governor of Alaska
Is supposed to represent the people of
Alaska, and if he doesn't represent the
people, he ought not to be governor of
AUnka.? The Seattle Post- Intelligen
cer.
The SKagway nepuoncans mu nvi,
The Alaakan said the day after the
primary, mince matters when they con
fronted the object of all the wrongs
that hive been heaped upon Alaska since
Governor Hoggatt became executive.
They called a spade a spade and de
manded a "square deal." The result is
having its effect already. The thing to
do is to go ahead at the Juneau conven
tion and pass resolutions and see that
they get to the President. All Alaska
knots where the wrongs lie, but the
President does not. When he docs
know how things are up here and re
fuses to depose Governor Hoggatt it
will be lime to quit, but not until then'
CLARENCE DARROW
Tbf news that comes from Boise
?bout the illness of Clarence Darrow is
sorrowfully received wherever he is
known. Few people who have ac
quaintance with the man can help be
other than his admirer. A learned law
yer; a polished gentleman and a good
friend, Clarence Darrcw has lived a life
that makes the world the better for his
having been in it. His practice ha?
ever been a large one. but be is today a
poor man, and the reason ia that his
kindly nature, full ot pity for the frail
ty of humanity, has led htm to defend
numerous persons who were without
the means to pay l\lm.
His strange actions the other day In
the Spokane Hotel grill could not oe
understood by those who knew him
well. He was ever a patriotic lover of
America and her flag, and when he re
fused to rise and salute the anthtm of
his country his acquaintances were
amazed, but the illness which has ef.
fected his brilliant mind was at the bot
tom of it. It is plain now. We mutt
pity him for "He knew not what he
did." Long efforts to save his client in
the Boise trial last summer had under
mined bis reason, and the tired brain of
Clarence Darrow and not the man him
self offered insult to the country he
loved to well.
We must give Harriman the credit
for telling the truth at least when he
returned to Wall street ftom Oregon
and said: "What matters It if stocks
?how the upward turn of a point one
day and a downward awitoh or two or
At* the next ? Ttiat Is no Indication ol
tho real wealth of the country or of
the country 'a prosperity. There's no
panic coming. We've bad our panic
and now lt't going away." We're all
so very glad Mr. Harrlman visited ti e
West.

POOD NEWS

And Profited Thertbf
"Good news travels fast" and tbe
thousands of bad back sufferers in Al
aska are gl-J to learn that prompt
relief Is within their reach. Many a
lame, weak and aching back is bad do
more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills
Our citizens are telling the good news
of their experience with the Old Quak
er remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
N. S. Williams, of 239 Liberty St.,
Salem, Ore., says: A number of years a
go the doctors told me my kidndys were
in bad shape. I came west on accouot
of the trouble, thinklne a change of
climate would help me but nothing I
did gave me relief in spite of the use o
remedies and medical treatment. On
procuring Doan's Kidney Pills, I found
them tbe best medicine I ever used.
At the time I got them I was suffering
from an intense t urning sensation as
if two live coals were placed direct
ly over my kidney*, the sacretions from
the kidneys were the color of strong
black coffee and of a bad odor. After
using two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills.
I did not have the least pain in tny back
or trouble with my kidneys. I give
?11 the credit for this to your valuable
remedy."
