RIGHT WILL PREVAIL
In spile of all the Connons in con
gress and all thetcries in Alaska ti. is
district \vi I eet territorial government,
and that l-efoie very long. The pe: pie
of the country, in rapid y incre.sing
numbers, are being m&je to understand
that Alaskans are being denied the
rights of Americans. When that fact
shall become generally known, Mr.
Cannon and ail the others will vote aye
upon a bill permitting them to have
the enjoyments of their rights. They
will not dare to refuse.
One source of influence after another
in the nation at large is lending its aid
to the people of the north in their con
test for their American rights, thus
giving encouragement to those engaged
in the battle for freedom and impress
ing them with the fact that victory
will always come in the end to those
who fight for the right. Several of the
large daily newspapers of the country
have taken up the cause and are devot
ing their energies toward the extension
of American principles of government
to Alaska One of these is the Chicago
Chronicle, a leading republican morn
ing paper of the great central metropo
lis. It has contained several leaders
on the subject since congress convened.
In a recent issue it said:
"It is elaimed that there are now 60,
000 white men in Alaska. The claim
may be excessive, but if there were
eveu half the number stated and if they
were willing? as they are ? to bear the
expense of a territorial government, it
is hard to ?ee why they should be de
nied the privilege so long as we accord
it to the scattered miners of Arizona
and the hal f breed sheepherders of New
Mexico. The success achieved in the
process of governing Alaska as a sort
of - trapy since the Yukon gold discov
ery Is not such as to argue for the con
tinuance of the system. Alaska ought
to be a territory and not a crown col
ony."
" What's in a oame?" Just a quar
ter of a million. Mrs. James Brown
Potter, No. 2. who was a Richmond,
Virginia, belle, has tried to induce
Mrs. James Brown Potter, No. 1, the
woman who has made that name fam
ous. to cease its use. She says it causes
her embarrassment to have another
woman, so well known, using her name.
Mrs. No. 1 replied, through her attor
neys. of course, that she has no partic
ular love for the name, James Brown
Potter, or the man who had given it to
her. but that it had become valuable to
her for the reason that she has made a
great reputation for it. It was simply
a matter of business ? of dollars and
cents? wiih her, and that if she were
paid <250,000 she would permit Mrs.
No. 2 to take her old name and use it as
she wills while she is devoting her
time to making famous another name
for herself.
A Juneau paper says it favors munic
ipal ownership of the water system,
but believes that of other public utili
ties is impracticable. In Skagway it
is known that municipal ownership of a
water system works all right. There is
no desire to test the question of munic
ipal ownership jfurther, because the
people are getting good lighting serv
ice from two privately-owned compa
nies and the telephone service is satis
factory.

NOT FAIR
Oregon Footbill Champions
Not College
Disclosures that have been made
since the close of the football season
discredit the claim of the Oregon Agri
cultural college to the coest cham
pionship. It has been discovered that
only two men in its eleven are regular
students of the college. Some of ihem
are entered as students in a physical
culture class and others are not so well
protected as that. It is said they were
supported by business men who sought
to advertise the college.
On the other hand, the Washington
university team, defeated by the Ore
gonians Thanksgiving Day, were all
reg larly enrolled and carrying success
fully at least 12 hours work and several
were taking 18 hours in engineering,
which is regarded as the heaviest
course in college.
Commenting upon the Washington
team, the Seattle Times pays the fol
lowing compliment to Cee Pullen, of
Skagway, who is a member of the
Washington eleven:
" The registrar's report for the last
moath of the football season showed
the percentage of deiinquences and
conditions among the football squad to
be practically the same as that of the
?tudents in general. Two of the best
players, Pullen and Crim, are carrying
unusually heavy courses and both are
regarded as the best students of theii
classes, and neither has ever been cred
ited with a delinquency."

WEAK KIDNEYS
MAKE WEAK BODIES
Kidney Disease! Cause Half the
Common Aohn and Ills of Alaska
Poopla
As one weak link weakens a chain, so
weak kidneys weaken the whole body
and hasten the final breaifing-down.
Overwork, strains, cold and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
the activity is lessened the whole body
suffers from the excess of uric poison
c.rculated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor at:d
urinary ills come, and ihere is an ever
incrsasing :endency towards diabetes
and fatal Bright's disease, There is no
real help for the sufferer except kidney
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney ill.
Mrs. O. D. Rue. of 2710 1st Ave.,
Seattle wash., says: "If Doan's Kidney
Pills had not greatly benefited me I
would not consent to publicly recom
meud them. I feel it my duty to tsll
others of this wonderfulo remedy be
cause for five years I have suffered from
irregularities of the ki ineys which
were particularly annoying when I
caught cold. My back pained me severe
ly acd my suffering was increased if I
aid any work about the house or strain
ed in any manner. I used plasteis and
consu'ted physicians but the benefit I
obtained was not permanent, I read
about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured
a box. The first box did me so much
good I procured a second, and it only
required three boxes to remove the
trouble. I have recommended this re
medy to friends w'io report the most
beneficial results from its use."
