A REGRETABLE QUARREL
The bitter personal controversy be
tween President Roosevelt on one side
and Senators Bailey and Tillman on the
other, which is occupying so much of
the attention of the preos, is regret
able. All of the men concerned in the
quarrel are big, strong, able, honest,
and all of them are. and for a long time
have been, fighting for a "square
deal'' for the American masses. All of
them, no doubt, have betn wrongly
accused.
Not many of those who have studied
President Roosevelt carefully .will be
lieve that he Is shifty and vacillating,
much less faithless, as has been charged
by Senators Bailey and Tillman.
Doubtless the president's impulsiveness
and quick temper often causes him to
express opinions and make promises
that are based on imperfect informa
tion. With more knowledge and better
mature^' i convictions, coming with
a wis&r second thought, he often chang
es bis mind and attempts to rectify what
he believes to be his own errors. Stick- j
lers for consistency and men to whom
were made premises that were impos
sible of performance or which it It may
have been determined were better
broken than kept, unjustly accuse him
of bad faith,
Nor is it fair to say the president is
a quitter, or a "make-believe-reform
er," for he is neither, Mr. Roosevelt!
is shrewd as a politician and a states- ;
man. He knows how to play the game
of politics effectively and he has a
statesman's respect for the maxim that
a -'haif loaf is better than no bread."
When he discovers that to go further
in some direction might deprive of an
opportunity to accomplish results in
any direction, he desists, but it is his
political acumen and his common sense
rather than timidity which controls his
action.
The president has faults, no doubt,
as have most men. He may be many
of the things that are said of him. He
rnav be intolerant, theatrical, possessed
of more than one man's share of egot- j
ism, and much more, but he wears noj
man's collar. He is laboring to make j
conditions better and he is feared and
hated by what Lawson calls the "Sys
tem" as has been no other American
president save only Andrew Jackson.
Much that has been said of the
president, both in his favor and other
wise, may be truthfully said of his
senatorial enemies. They are owned
of no man and are on the 3ide of the
masses as against corporation greed.
They are also impetuous and quick of
temper, confident of the correctness of
their own conclusions aad somewhat
contemptuous of those who differ from
them.
In spite of his mining assessment
bill, which is not liked in Alaska, the
people of the north will wish Mr.
Lacey success in the campaign which
began with his re-nomination to con
gress the other day at Oskaloosa, Iowa,
by the republican convention. Mr.
Lacey is a good friend of Alaska.
The people of Skagway are for Gov.
Swineford because Gov. Swineford
stands for the principles the people of i
Skagway believe to be right and true,
antl because they do not favor the intro
duction of politics into a non-partisan
question.
The Washington dispatches say that
the tariff will be the uppermost issue
between democrats and republicans in
the coming congressional campaign!
yet there are those who would make
party questions the issue in Alaska
Tell us, pray, what the tariff has to do
with Alaskan matters.
Ketchikan and surrounding country
is rallying to the support of Gov.
Swineford as a candidate for delegate
to congress in a manner that warms
the cockles of the heart.

A woman should not have a bad back,

kidneys.
Here is a woman who endorses this
claim:
Mrs. Charles Wetmore,of 2518jWUliam
street, Bellinsrham, Wash., says: "X
had attacks of kidney complaints at
various times for several years, indicat
ed by backache, difficulty with the kid
ney secretions, pain and soreness across
the kidneys and weariness and languor.
I could not get proper or necessary sleep
at night. My strength seemed in
sufficient to perform theoidinaiy house
hold duties without distress and in
other ways when suffering from these
spells my health was in a bad condition.
I bad an attack some time ago, and
knowing of the merits of Doan's Kid
ney Pills I send for a box The pills
stopped the backache almost immediate
ly and soon correctected the action of
the kidney secretions. My health was
greatly itnroved and I have no hesita
tion in recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills for any complaint similar to those
which afflicted me."
