HOW WICKERSHAM STANDS..
"It is hard to pick out he things
which we especially need in Alas
ka." scid ./udg? WickershRm. "but I
.stand on the platform which tails
for a t> rritoriaj form of government.
We want St and are entitled to it.
"Alaska uoeds railroads a.id wagon
roads. It needs both badly. Trans
portation we must have. Wagon
roads are the one big cry of my pt-o
p?e. We require adequate transporta
tion facilities, particularly for light e\
press and mail. 1 am going to ask for
mining inspectors. We ought to have
practical men for this work, too.not |
politicians.
"I advocate a legislative addition to i
our present I'oriu of government. We|
have the judicial and executive. W< ;
should have the legislative. I will in
troduce a bill advocating two houses.)
both elective, the senate to be mail. !
up yf three men from each division,
the lower house to be composed of IX
members, elected accof.ii.ig to popuia
tion.
"We \ an; the right to pass a II. >n
law to protect the miners who uork
for ?a^es. We must have the rigni
of supplementing our mining laws. W
irust protect and foster mining. It is
cur one groat asset. We wutit to en
courage capital and we need better
laws.
"I will introduce a bill calling for
th- constriction o railroad :'rom
.ission to tile Tanana. This
wil* tap three bis districts ? the
White, the Tan-ua and the Copper
river regions ?Seattle Star
SHORT SIGHTED POLICY.
The Vrangel Se'itlne!. the weekly
newspaper published at Wrangel by
?Mr. Snyder, lias suspended publicatio
and now Wrangel is one of the very
few towns in southeastern Alaska
without a newspaper, a well edit <1
newspaper is essential to the success
any town. It ad\ rti ;es the town
on the outside; it encourages public
spirit within The merchants and
..scio., in :i of Wrangel who refused
to support ti:e Sentinel will undoubt
*dly rejret it before long. Their
policy was a short sighted one.
A. R. O'Hricn, editor o? the J,.nea.
Record. is trjin:; liar J ta escape tlu
sobriquet of "(Jlooiny Gus." He pub
lished a yoeni in his editorial coluuit1 '
recently, the title of which was:"The
Screed of the Optimist."
"I have banished the Ghost of Hal'
from uiy soul" ran one line of Hi
IKK* in. We don't believe U. Actions
spiak louder than words.
.?>? would i.dvise souie of our bro- :
thor editors in Alaska that it is con-,
sidcrod bad ethics to reprint editorial j
from other papers without duly uc
ireditinir the source. In fact, such
ai act Is p'aln plagalris.n.
The essentials of a republican form
01 government are the executive,
the judicial, and th-> legislative. In
Alaska we tacve the Judicial and < x
ecutlve branches, but we lack th ? leg
islative powers.
The ncftro republic of Liberia has
appealed to the United Stat'.s for aid.
We have a color question of colossal
dimensions at home. Let Liberia
work out her own destiny.
At last Jim Jeffries has announced
his Intention of assuming the "whit?
man's burden." Goodby to Jack
Johnson.
Alaska neods to advertised.
As yet WIlHain Jennings Pry an ha
not announced whether he Intends to
run for the presidency in IS?1-.
Some of the republican stab .nun
ore at last commencing to admit that
the tarrlf needs revision.

TWICE CURED OF
SKINTROUBLES
First Case a Rash Which Itched and
Stung? Threatened Ten Years
Later With Blood-Poison in Leg
?But Both Times the Sufferer's
RELIANCE IN CUTICURA
PROVED WELL-FOUNDED
"About twelve or fifteen years ago,
while living in West Virginia. 1 hail a
breaking-out. and it itched ami stung so
badly that I could not have any peace
because of it. I saw three d'wtors and
they did not agree on what it was, so
one of thern gave me something 'hat lie
called medicine, but 1 called il mla
water. I might just as well have
washed in rain-water. Then I g- t some
Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Resolvent and iH'gan to get
better right awav. Thev cured me and
1 have not been bothered with the itch
ing since, to amount to anything.
About two years afo I had la grimio
and pneumonia which left me with a
pain in my side. Treatment ran it into
my leg. which then swelled and l? j;an
to* break out. It got in ptvttv I >ad
shape, so I went to a doctor. He was
afraid it would turn to blood-; >i-< n.
I used his medicine but it did no go I.
So I sent for another set of tin" i ut i. ura
Remedies. I used them three times
and cured the breaking-out on my leg.
Now I won't l>e without Cuticura.
