MAKING MISTAKES.
Bryan's friendliness for Alaska is
unquestionably sincere, although
critics will smile and say that it is
easy enough to promise when you
are obviously not In position to per
form. It has been a fair criticism
of Bryan that he Is ever ready to
promise people what he may
think they want, and this char
acteristic is offered as a rea
son for considering him unsafe
for power; because It requires
discernment to distinguish be
tween wants and whims. On the
other hand, there are those who
argue that power has a sobering
effect, and believe that if placed in
power, Bryan would be as conserva
tive as Roosevelt, for instance, ever
was.
However that be, there is acute
common sense In Bryan's remarks
on Alaska, as there generally is in
all his remarks. Government from
afar Is repugnant to the popular iderf
of government; the freeborn citizen
rebels at the idea of being governed
without having something to say in
the matter. And .as Bryan says,
the privilege of making mistakes Is
as sacred a privilege as any other.
We can make them more intelligently
than Washington can ? .Fairbanks
Times.
H0WDI8HELL ESCHEWS FANCY.
The snows are appearing on the
mountain tope like gray hairs upon
the brow of age, while the frost is
whiskering the trees up there until
the mountain ranges look like a reg
iment of Ancient Mariners standing
sentinel over the treasures of the
tea. This of course, is mere fancy
aDd not the real dope. It is the
kind of writing that appeals to people
of mushy instincts. It also gives the
writer & reputation for poetic reverie
and establishes his value at about
six dollars a week. The age of fancy
went out of the world about the time
the protective tariff came In. Since
that time it has been a foot race for
everyone except the infant industries,
and they have beeo carried along on
palanquins, which is a kind of feath
ered nest borne upon the shoulders
of the rest of us. Ever see a palan
quin? They picture society like a
mirror. The beef, steel, flour, coal
or some other Infant Industry* la on
the Inside. There are some handles
sticking out and there's where we get
up an appetite. An appetite is about
all we do get. ? Ketchikan Miner.
EMPLOYER S LIABILITY LAW.
The decision of the United States
supreme court that the employer's li
ability law is constitutional is indeed
gratifying. This Is one of the most
progresalve laws ever enacted by
congress In regards to the liability
of the employer to the employee and
it would have been disappointing in
the extreme ? to all save the heads
of common carriers ? to whom the law
alone applies, to have such a humane
ami sensible piece of legislation de
clared "mwoMt itutional."
RESOLUTIONS PASSED AT FAIR
BANKS.
We. tie people of Fairbanks, Alas
?ka. in pttblic mass meeting assembled
<jo declare that In order to promote
tho prosperity of the inhabitants of
the territory of Alaska, to uiore ef
fectually and rapidly develop its great j
natural resources, and to give to Its ,
00,000 American miners a voice in the <
legislation so greatly needed In its
continued growth and development, It
is necessary that cougrvss shall, and
we respectfully petition the congress
to create au elective territorial leg
lature in Alaska, with the usual leg
islative power and authority couferrid
upon such legislatures in territories.
Now cometh the test of good citi
zenship. Mark ye the man who fail
eth to clean off his side walk when
falleth deep the snow.
Drink no longer water, but use a
little wine for thy stomach's sake
and often thine Infirmities. ? Timothy,
5?23.
Alaska needs home rule.
THERE IS NO DEATH.
<?rnTTERE In "O death. There are no
^ dead."
From zone to zon?, from sphere to
aphere.
The souls of all who pass from here
By host* of living thoughts are led.
And. tlurk or bright, those souls must
tread
The paths they fashioned year by year.
For hells are built of hato or fear
And heavens of love our lives have shed.
ACROSS unatlased worlds of space
And through tiod's mighty universe.
With thoughts that bless or thoughts
that curse.
Each Journeys to his rightful place.
Oh. greater truth no man has said:
"There Is no death! There are no dead!"
IT lifts the mourner from the sod
And bids him cast away the reed
Of some uncomfortlng poor ereed
And walk with knowledge for a rod.
It bids the doubter aMk the broad.
Vast fields, where living facts will feed
All those whose patience proves their
need
Of those Immortal truths of God.
IT brings before the eyes of faith
Thet.0 realms of radiance, tier on tier.
Where- our beloved "dead" appear.
More beautiful because of "death."
It speaks to grief: "He comforted.
Thero Is no death. There are no dead."
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
PLAYS MANY
AT ONE T
NEW YORK, Joseph a Capablanca,
the 21-year old Cuban chess expert,
has played 29 opponents simultaneous
ly, defeating 26, losing one game and
(rawing two. Among those whom he
defeated, were Bradley Martin, Jr.,
former president of the Hastings,
England Chess Club, and Magnus
Smith, ex-champion of Canada. J.
A. Christian, the only player to de
fear Sapablanca, did so in -14 moves,
after a Royez opening.
Lost Temper.
"Lost temiKT does great barm." said
\ politician. "I once knew a raan who
lield thirteen tramps ut whist, and on
account of his partner's temper ho took I
only one trick with that Ideal band."
"Impossible!" sneered a reporter who
conducted a weekly bridge column.
"Impossible? ?Not ut all," wus the
politician's reply. "You see, as soon as
this man trumped bis partner's ace on
the first play bis partner In a mgo
Jumped up and kicked him out of tho
room."
Accounting For Patrick Henry.
It Is related that Chief Justlco
Salmon P. Chase on stopping at the
birthplace of Patrick Henry In Vir
ginia exclaimed: "Whut nn atmos
phere: What a view! What glorious
mountains! No wonder that Patrick
nenry grew here!" Whereupon an
honest Dative dryly remarked that the
atmosphere, the view and the moun
tains had been thero for ages, but
that only one Patrick Henry had been
produced.? Macon Telegraph.

would you suggest? Honost Physician

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets In they think It
will soon correct itself. And so it
is with all tho other symptoms
of kidney disorders. Tha* is
where the danger lies. You must
cure these troubles or they may lead
to diabetes or Bright's disease. The
best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney
Pills. It cures all ills which are caus
ed by weak or diseased kidneys. Res
idents of this vicinity are constantly
testifying to permanent cures.
H. R. McCarver, 268 Holllday St.,
Portland, Ore., says;
"Some years ago Doan's Kidney
Pills proved of great benefit to me
and 1 publicly recommend them.
Since that time I have advised many
of mv fellow workmen to give them
a trial and the results of their use
have been satisfactory In every inst
ance. I believe kidney trouble and
backache in my oas? was brought on
by a cold. I had always been skeptic
al regarding proprietary medicines
tu' somehow what I read about
Doan's Kidney Pills impressed me so
much that I began their use. Relief
soon followed and I have had no ser
ious return of kidney complaint
since."
