JUNEAU OFFERS ISSUE
' A Juneau newspaper has d.scovered
an i?sue for the coming election for
delegate to congress. It is the burning
question as to whether there are more
republicans in Alaska than democrats.
The Juneau Record-Miner says the
democrats have boasted for years that
they are the more numerous and t
thinks the time has come when It Is
necessary for the welfare of Alaska
that It be discovered as to whether
there is any foundation for this boast.
It has not one word about the ques
tion of self-government for Alaska or
anv of the questions that concern the
northern people. Instead |it offers this
mixture of sophistry and untruth:
.?If ever Alaska becomes an Integra^
part of the national government it
must adopt suoh measures and prose
cute its affairs in a manner in harmony
with the government. The rules an
regulations that control elsewhere must
control here. Politics govern else
where and the same thing must be
recognized here. Political measures
have ruled through all our national life
and they are necessary as a ruling
power here."
If any candid man with the power *
think and no selfish interest to serve
can give this stuff a half minute's
consideration and hold his patience
under control he will have established
that be has developed ? very comfort
able and very tolerant philosophy, for
babbling children and prating idiots
were never more absurd.
Think of it ! Here we are, a people
denied the right to self-government,
taxed without representation (the fact
that we have a delegate to congress
without a vote does not change this
condition at all), our money taken from
? us without our consent and expended
under the direction of departments at |
Washington ? a system compared with
which the government of the Amer
can colonies by George III was broad
and liberal? hut with an opportunity to
make a strong, non-partisan, or bi
partisan. if you prefer the term, pro
test, and we are advised to forsake the
the opportunity and have a count as to
whether there are more republicans or
more democrats in Alaska J
In 1778 American patriots forgot
whether they had been whigs or tones,
for the parliament or the king, and
joined as one man in for great cause of
self-government, and that is the issue
in Alaska today. Those who remained
tories in 1776 have never been consid
ered as patriots, and future generations
might not be more kind to those who
elect to remain tories in Alaska at the
present time.
This Juneau paper says "Politics
(partisan) govern elsewhere and they
must govern here." Analyze that.
Suppose, for instance, Massachusetts,
Indiana. Arizona, Hawaii, or any of the
other political divisions of the United
States were denied the right of self
government, what would become of the
republican or democratic parties in the
states or tenitories affected? What
time would the people |in any of those
states or territories under such con
ditions as obtain in Alaska have to give
to a discussion of the tariff, the rail
road rate bill, thejdifferences between
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Foraker. or
those between Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Parker.?
If the people of Alaska desire the
respect of Americans they should make
use of an opportunity to demand their
American rights.

Juneau is entitled to the capital of
Alaska, for the present at least, not
because Juneau has done anything1 to
earn it (because they have not) but)
because that place is the most
central location la the district under
conditions that now obtain. While the
-construction of a railroad from the
coast to the Yukon will probably
?change the situation, there is no cood
reason why the law of congress, massed
many years ago designating Juneau as
the capital, should not be made effect
ive and continue in effect as long as
conditions remain as they are at present.
The Juneau Transcript says a call
has been published for a meeting of a
territorial convention to be held in
Skagway, which, of course Is not true.
In fact it has almost become so, one oan
say with trnth: "If you see it in the
Transcript it is NOT true."
To candidates: Tell us where you
stand or get out of the race !

WORKS WONDERS
A Wonderful Compound Care* Pilfi,
Eczema. Skin Itching, Skin
Eruption*. Cnta and Bruise*.
Doan's Ointment is the best skin
treatment, and the cheapest, because so
little is required to cure. It cures piles
after years of torture. It cures obsti
nate ca;.es of eczema. It cures all skin
itching. It cures skin eruptions. It
heals cuts, bruises, scratches and abra
sions without leaving a scar. It cures
permanently.
M. Sullivan, employed in the street
department of the city, who resides on
Water street, at 73s, Portland Oreg.,
says: "Doao's Ointment is without any
exception the best preparation on earth
for the puposes for which its use is indi
cated anil from my own experience I
know that it does all that is claimed for
it. For two years I was troubled with
the worst kind of itching and bleeding
hemorrhoids. I tried one remedy after
another and even sent sent east for a
well known medicine, and was treaded
by physicians, but I got no relief until I
learned about Doan's Ointment, I pro
cured a box and the first application
gave me relief such as i had not exper
ienced for two years, I continued the
treatment for two or three weeks, when
I was completely cured, and sinces then
I have been free from the tormenting
affliction. Whenever I hear anyone
complain of being annoyed with piles 1
never fail to tell them what to do'to get
cured. I would willingly give $20 for
a box rather than to suffer one night
like I did before I used Doan's Oint
ment."
