THE MINER AND MR. 10WLE .
One F. F. W. Lowle, local agent (or
the Canadian Pacific company at Skag
way, started out a week or two ago in
an attempt to muzzle The Alaskan,
which had said something displeasing
to that member of what might be
termed a First Family of Worthless
Lowles, if hit actions be accepted as
conclusive evidence of the character of
the entire "freundschaft." Mr. Lowle
may net be quite so gay when The
Alaskan gets through with him, but
he'll be a heap wiser than when be
started to take a fall out of the editor.
?Ketchikan Miner.
The fight whieh is being, made
against W. B. Hojgatt, governor of the
territory of Alaska, is in reality aimed
at the corporations and trusts that have
controlled the territory for years. Ilog
gatt is openly charged with favoritism
to the corporation interests. Those
who are fighting for his removal charge
that he is the tool of the Guggenheims
and has used his office as governor of
the territory to promote corporate in
terests to the detriment of the terri
tory, says the Seattle Star.
For years Alaska has been a political
hotbed. In the early days the territory
was the Mecca of grafters. The pur
chase of officials in the interests of
trusts and combines formed to secure
control of the rich mineral properties
and the tl-heries was a common occur
rence.
AS THE STAB SEES IT
The better element of the territory
h&9 kept up a continuous fight against
the grafters, but the trusts have been
strong politically, and the hottest fight
>n the history of the territory will oc
cur when the Republican convention,
to adopt a platform and nominate a can
didate for delegate to congress, meets
in Juneau tnis month.
It is a foregone conclusion that this
convention will pass resolutions asking
President Roosevelt to remove Gov.
Hoggatt and indorsing territorial gov -
ernment.
The advocates of territorial govern
ment contend that this will remedy all
of the evils that have existed in Alaska
that were directly due to the federal
authorities in the territory. While the
advocates of territorial government ex
pect to win at the convention, it is
known that Hoggatt and his trust back
ing will make a warm fight to prevent
the passage of the resolutions.
p With the tale* of fabulous wealth of
Alaska that have beea sent Broadcast
over the continent, the northern terri
tory has been the base of operations for
more fake mining enterprises than any
other place In the world. With the
name of Alaska tacked to mining com
panies, stock has been sold in mythical
mines all over the United States. It
has been truly 3?id that there are more
"vocal miners" in Alaska than those
who represent legitimate undertakings,
and many of these have been promoted
through the indorsement of men hold
ing federal positions. In this way poli_
tics has had a part in everything relat
ing to the northern country.
In the fully developed districts of
Alaska, where the first excitement of
the gold discoveries has passed and the
district has settled down to steady pro
duction, practically all of the best prop
erties are in the hands of corporations.
It Is a well established fact that the big
interests have no desire for a change in
the form of government, and it is due
to this fact more than anything else
that the fight will be made at the Ju
neau convention.
While many of the men who will op
pose Hoggatt and work for the passage
ol resolutions favoring territorial gov
ernment are prompted by political mo
tives, the vast majority of the opposi
tion to the present administration of
the territory Is due to the corporation
rule. ,
It la an old saying that "politics
sometimes make strange bed fellows,"
but none the less true in the present
case. Iu Instance factions that
have been fighting each other bitterly
(op year? have Hoed up !o oppotitioa to
tho rule by corporations. In the dole*
Ration ft-orn the Seward peninsula that
will attend the convention are men who
were prominent factors in the canipaign
conducted tor several years against for
mer Federal Judge Wlckersham. Id
the coming convention these men will
stand with the delegation from the
Tanana country, which is solidly with
Wickersbam, and of which he will be
the leader, on all question* relating to
territorial government and the removal
of Governor Hoggatt.
THE DOCTOR AND EDITOR
If an editor makes a mistake he h??
to apologize for it, but if a doctor
makes a mistake he buries it. If an
editor makes a mistake there is a law
suit, swearing and the smell of sulphur,
but if a doctor makes one there is a
funeral, cut flowers and asroell of var
nish. A doctor can use a word a yard
long without knowing what it means,
but if an editor uses it he has to spell
tt. Any old college can make a doctor
You can't make an editor: he ha.* to be
born.? Success Magazine.
Rudvard Kipling, who Is investigat
ing: the Hindu-Japanese immigration
problem in Canada, has decided that
'?the way to k*ep the yellow man out
is to get the white man in." It may
not hay 3 occurred to Rudyard that
both the United States and Canada
have been straining every nerve for
years to get the white man in and he is
still coming in numbers which are in
adequate to the demand for his serv
ices. The Hindu and the Japanese
can never become good citizens, but
chey are apparently on the Coast in
response to a demand for their serv
ices. Their labor could be utilized in
the clearing of land and other similar
tasks on which the white laborer
looks with disdain, but the antagonism
their presence arouses is such that the
good in this directiou is offset bv the
disturbance they make elsewhere in
the economic situation.
WHAT'S IN THE GLASS?
It was John G. Si>e, who fifty years
ago was America's leading humorits,
wbo wroto this startling warning:
You have heard of tho snake in the grass
My boy,
Of the terrible ^nake in the grass;
But now you must Know
Man's deadliest foe
Is the venomous snake in the glass,
Alas
The venomous snake in the glass.
And it was Hehry W. Longfellow
who wrote:
Touch the goblet no more !
It will make thy heart sore
To its very core.
Its perfume is the breath
Of the angel of de.?th,
And the light that within it lies
Is the tlash of his evil eyes.
Beware, oh, beware,
For sickness, sorrow and care
All are there !

IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED
"Our little girl, on? year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what the doctor said it whs. We called
in the family doctor and ho gave some
tablets and "said she would be all right
in a few days. The eczema pw worso
and wo called in doctor No. U. Ho
said sho was teething, as soon as tho
teeth were through sho would bo all
right. But she still grew worse. Doc
tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this
time sho was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Wellr he said ho could
help her, so we let him try it about
a week. One morning wo discovered
a little yellow pimple on one of her
eyes. Of course we phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over anil looked her
over and said that ho could not do any
thing more for her, that we had bettor
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego
to doctor No. 4, and he said tho eye
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
We thought we would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only ho
charged $10 moro than doctor No. -1.
Wo were nearly discouraged. I saw
one of tho Cuticura advertisements in
the paper and thought wo would try
the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and
purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies,
which cost mo SI, and in threo dnvs
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in onoweek all sores hnd dis
appeared. Of course it could not re
store tho eyesight, but'if we hnd u*od
Cuticura in timo I am confident that
It would have saved the eye. We think
there is no remedy so good for any skin I
