GOVERNOR CLARK, OF ALASKA.
Walter EH Clark needs no introd ac
tion to the people of Alaska. Xo one
has a better knowledge of the terri
tory. its resource?, its people anil its
needs than the man who has been
seleeted by President Taft to succeed
Mr. \V. B. Hoggatt as governor of
Alaska.
Mr. Clark's selection was without
his knowledge and without personal so
licitation or application for any office
I' was due to a recognition of his
thorough equipment, personal popular
ity with Alaskans of all occupations
and political factions, and to his own
marked ability and modest merit.
(?'or ten years Mr. Clark has voiced
the aspirations and desires of every
Alaskan who has visited the national
capital. He has visited Alaska on se
eral occasions, and is recognized as
the best-posted man there on the sub
ject of the territory: so much so that
his stores of information were often
dr.wn upon by Secretary Hitchcock,
and it may be said here that Presi
dent Roosevelt had asked hiiu it he
would accept the the appointment
with which President Taft has hon
ored him.
Mr. Clark is the soul of honor, has
narked executive ability and will ad
Minister his office with credit to him
self and to the satisfaction of the poo
pie of Alaska, and may be depended
?>n to know no favorites and to make
?ie improper discrimination in exercis
ing his functons. He is the risht typ
of man for the post. For ten years
l.e has been the Washington corre
spondent of the Post-Intlleigencer
and is familiar with legislation and
with departmental work. Few men
wiio have served at the capital are
so well equipped as he. His acquaint
anovship with senators and congress
men is wide and intimate. His recon>
mendations will be listened to with
respect by the nations' lawmakers.
;-nd he may be depended on to repre
sent the whole of Alaska.
This newspaper rejoices iu Mr.
Clark's honor, but it regrets his ap
pointment. for we lose a truthful,
faithful and able correspondent. Al
aska gains a good governor. ? Seattle

TROY'S OPINION OF CLARK
John \V. Troy. Democrat, formerly
editor of the Skagway Alaskan, and
a- present one of the officers of the
Arctic Club, said: "There will un
doubtedly be considerable discontent
among the people of Alaska over the
appointment of Mr. Clark, as those
who have made their homes in the
territory felt that the appoiutment
should go to some one who is a bona
fide resident of Alaska. Gov. Hog
gatt's administration, or rather lack of
administration, has led nearly every
one who is permanently located in
Alaska to feel 'hat the governor
?l-ould be choeten from among those
vho are permanent residents of the
t? rritorv. To overcome this senti
ment and to win the confidence of
the people will be the hardest task
which the newly appointed governor
will face. I believe, however, from
what I know of Mr. Clark, that he
will be successful In both." ? Seattle

Tho raveled garments of life's brief day
Folded and quietly laid away.

And somewhero away amonK the stars
How much do you think It would matter
then
What pralso was lavished upon me whon.
Whatever might bo Its stint or store.
It neither could help nor harm tnu more?
IF midst of my toll they had but thought
To stretch a linger, I would have
caught
Gladly such aid. to bear mo through
Some bitter duty 1 had to do.
And when It was done had 1 but heard
One breath of applause, ono cheering
word.
Ono cry of "Courage!" amid tho strife,
8o weighted for me with death or life,
IHow would It havo nerved my soul to
?train

There is more Catarrh in this sec I
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until thej
last few years was supposed to be iii
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Scienu
has proven catarrh to be a constltu*
' tional disease and therefore requires
I constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
! tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
! Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the 1
t only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
J from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It1
[acts directly on the blood and mucou
I surfaces of the system. They offer
j one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
