A FORTUNATE SELECTION
The appointment of former Mayor
Ballinger. of Seattle, to be commission
er of tho genei-.?l land office insures an
honest and able administration of one
of (he most important offices in the
executive branch of the federal govern
ment an office which, probably, has
plagued the administration more than
any other in the last decade. Among
tae worse scandals of the time have
beer in connection with Western land
thieving. The game of embezzling
the national domain has involved
senators and reoresentatives in con
gress, great captains of industry aud
-.everal government officials as well as
score of hirelings and sharpers. One
?enator and one representative In con
gress were convicted of crimes Jin con
nection with the steals and ksevera
o: her senators and representatives are
under suspicion. Two ; commissioners
i'f the general land office have been
summarily dismissed. Oce of them is
under indictment and the other is hard
presses .
All of this land business comes under
the jurisdiction of the commissioner of
the general land office. To him the
people look for the protection of their
interests.
President Roosevelt desires a man
who is above suspicion to su:ceed
Commissioner Richards. He desires a
man whose character and record are
such that he will command the con
fidence and respect of the nation. He
offered the plice to Judge Ballir.ger,
who meets the requirements to a dot.
Senator nor representative nor anyone
<-lse who knows h'm will att?mpt to
tamper with Juige Ballinger. The
president is fortunate that he looked
upon the offer of this office as a call
from his country for his services, and
that he. in a spirit of patriotism, made
the sacrifice necessary to accept it.
GETS DESERVED PSAISE
? ? ?
Acting i .'overnor Distin is receiving
well merited compliments because of
the promptitude with which he respon
ded to the call for help for the miners
men and women? who were stranded
on the Yakataga beach No doubt the
vigor and energy with which he per
formed ths duty that instantly appealed
to him has saved many 4human liyet,
Certainly great suffering was preven
ted Someway Gov. Distin has a way
of -'m?iking good" when there is some
thing to be done.
It is alsj worthy ot mention that the
Rush, notwithstanding that her boilers
were in bad condition, performed her
part of the undertaknig to save life in
a manner that is creditable to every
one connected with that ship.
It is greatly to be hoped that the bill
providing an increase in the pay of the
officers and men of the United States
military service will pass. The pay of
the army and navy of the United States
was fixed more than 30 years ago and it
was based on conditions obtaining at
that time. U is rediculoosly inadaquate
at the presens time. The remunera
tion for services in the various military
branches of the government
should be such that it would
call and bold men of the highest
ability.
Do those West Indian disturbances
mean that 1907 is following in the foot
steps of 1906 ? The disasters of Vesu
vius. San Francisco and Valparaiso
were records that we can well afford to
have not repeated. Yet, the only thing
that has prevented the Kingston
disaster from be:n? greater than any of
them is the fact that the town is not so
large or important as San Francisco
o.s Valparaiso.
The papers which are opposing Gov
Hoggatt are accused of villifying him.
Well, even were ihat so, they are doing
it in the open. They are not like the
governor who villified the people of
the district tn a letter to the president
wiiieh he thought would not be publish
ed. The self government newspapers
are not assassins.
Gov. Hoggatt has been forced to
\
abandon his infamous commission
plan. Of course. The plan was^meant
chiefly as a means to interfere with the
work of the people's representatives.
Gov. Hoggatt has at least succeeded
in one thing. He has made the mem
ory of Gov. Brady seem like a pleasant
dream.
Let every man feel that it is his duty
to help put life into the Skagway
Chamber of Commerce.
MAY~ PASS
Increase of Pay for Army I
very Probable
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
Washington, Jan. 1H? The so called
Dick-Capron bill to increase the pay of
officers and enlisted men in the military
service of the United Stales through a
combined movemeot is being labored
for by commissioned officers, non-com
missioned officers and privates, on the
ground that everybody helps.
It is said that soldiers and sailors in
the various enlisted seryices have de
veloped more pull than the officer, and
there is good prospect of the bill pass
ing.

DAYS OF DIZZINESS
Come to Handrodm of Alaska People .
There are days of dizziness:
Spells of headache, sideache, back
ache:
Sometimes rheumatic pains:
Often urinary disorders.
All tell you plainly the kidneys are j
sick.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
Mrs. John Close, residing at 230 Com- 1
merical St., Astoria, Oregon., says:
"About a year ago, we movtd berefiom
Portland and as I had a great deal to
do, I overdid myself and the result was '
I brought on kidney trouble. My back j
began to iche and as time rolled on, it |
kept getting worse instead of better. It
finally grew so bad that I could scarcely
stoop or straighten up after stooping.
When I did any work requiring bend
ing, I could hardly get up and I had
headaches, dizzy 6pells and at times
everything before me looked blurred. I
was just about to start to the store for
a plaster to put on my back, when I
read about Doan's Kidney Pills and as
they were so highly recommended for
kidney troubles. I made up my mind
to try them and procured a box. They
went right to the root of the disease and
helped me from the stari and before I
had finished the box. I was cured.
Everything is changed with me now and
I have no symptoms of kidney trouble]
whatever.
