THE CLAIMS OF GOVERNOR
SWINEFORD
*)J2>
. .75
?:?b
. 4.50
. 9.00
It is a little unfortunate that the
candidacy of Ex-Cove-mr Swineford
was delayed in its launching until the
Tanana and the Nome district had ef
fected an understanding with regard to
their own candidates set up, each
in their own locality. It is understcod
that Nome has put forward a miner and
seeks to elect him to the short term and
has announced at least some one has
announced for the miners of that
sectiou? a willingness to vote for the
miner candidate of the Tanana for the
long term if the latter section will re
turn the compliment for the Nome man
for the short and earlier term. Had
Governor Swineford's candidacy been
announced before this arrangement bad
been effected it would doubtless have
prevented it. That is it might have
prevented even the announcement, for
of course no such agreement could
actually be effected. No man on com
mittee can pledge away the votes of
individuals but the influence of an an
nounced reciprocal treaty of this Kind
is to be deplored. Governor Swineford
has declared, in announcing his candi
dacy, that be does not desire to serve
the long term, thereby leaving the
candidates of other sections free to
ur^e their claims for it. No man in
Alaska is better equipped in every way
to io the thing that all Alaska wants
done at the very inception of her
career in the national field? lay the
foundation stone for territorial govern
ment. He knows Alaska ''by heart"
and it is very close to his hea^. He
knows her history, traditions, resources
and ambitions. He knows her needs
and he has been intimately identified
with her progress to the place where
she now stands. He is capable to ad
vance her further progress. If senti
rnant couuts for anything in this mat
ter no other man would be spoken of in
this connection. By all these premises
his progress through the district must
enlist to his support great numbers of
the thinking patriotic and ambitious
citizens who will have to determine the
name of our first delegate to Congress
ROJESTVENSKY UP AGAINST IT
It is Dretty hard lines for Admiral
Rojestvensky. He is certain'}- up
against it proper. To have the whole
result of the war charged to him and
him required to pay to the uttermost
that he can, must seetu to him pretty
tough, in as much as the responsibility
was loaded upon him against his will,
or at least without his being asked.
Under all the circumstances he his
probably done the bravest and most
soldierly thing that he could do? plead
ed guilty and assumed, not pari, but
a'lofthe blame. It is a dead moral
certainty that he would be found guilty
however he pleads. To be found guilty
is to suffer death?whatever he pleads.
To protest his innocence would be to
create friction and probably get laugh
ed at. To plead guilty is to awaken a
certain sympathy and be cloaked in the
minds of many with the robes of the
martyr. So the weak old admiral has
perhaps done the one thing best calcu
lated to give him some sort of a chance
in history. For the bureaucrats -who
were of course wholly to blame at
bottom ? mvst find victims to give as'
their excuse. Tbey have found them
in the men who went to the front and
stood the brunt of battle with the raw,
undisciplined and unpatriotic troops,
and the back-number and barnacled
boats they were furnished with. Gen
erals and admirals alike came home to
be disgraced, and the censors of the
press leave the world to guess as to the
real merit of their case.
Rojsstvensky is charged with cow
ardice -certalntly a capital crime in
his case if the charge be proved.
They say he was cowering on the
lower deck of the boat and was not yet
wounded when surrender was made.
The bravery of his action in shooting a
lot of fishermen out of the water while
half the girth of the world away from
the seat of war, is calculated to preju
dice his case with the disinterested.
However, il is all over now, and bis
j taking: all the blame ? relieving even
' his officers from thtir share of it, will
go far toward redeeming him.
If he had kept out of print now, and
not, with his trial impending, attempt
ed to explain to the world that it was
not he but Togo that was licke<?g n the
encounter off the coast of Japan, we
might have forgiven him.
pmdWeo
Judge Tanner not to Sutter
for His Perjury
Portland, Ore., July 7 ? President
Roosevelt yesterday signed a pardon
for Judge Tanner who was convicted of
having committed |>erjury in an at
tempt to save his partner, Senator
Mitchell, at the time of the ttial of the
latter in the land fraud matter.
Judge Tanner gave false testimony
and then, conscience stricken or so it
was believed at the lime ? subsequently
recanted, confessed that his testimony
was false, and gave testimony that con
vinced the jury and secured a convict
ion to Senator Mitchell and sent the
latter to his grave. It now develops
thai Judge Tanner was promised a
pardon if. after lying about it, he would
tell the whole truth. The pardon was,
therefore, expected by those best in
formed in the matter? and through
these the public was also prepared at
least against surprise.

Whea the kidneys are sick.
Nature tells you all about it.
The urine is nature's calendar,
lufrequent or too frequent action:
Any urinary trouble tells of kidney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
J. W. Strong, a retired veteran of ")0fi
Ohio Street Bellingbam, Wash,, says:
"Up to three years ago 1 had never
suffered any form of kidney complaint.
After that time I moved up the Colum
bia river to Whatcom Lake, and three
months after locating there I began to
notice symptons ol kidr.ey trouble. The
first was a dull aching pain across the
back, and which finally pot so baa that
I was unable to get out of the house at
?ill. Changes of position were accom
panied with severe twinges of p=?iu and
the kidney secretions were dark in
co'or and contained a heavy sediment,
and parsing was accompanied with
pain. I think all this trouble was
brought, on by drinkin impure water
while at Whatcom lake. However true
that may be, I procured a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills took them according to
directions, and was completley cured of
my troubles. About a month ago I hud
a severe attack of the grip and was
afraid this would bring on kidney
trouble again, but there has been no
symptom of a recurrence. I am satisfi
ed that the cure is permanent."
