AT.T. for bry an
That the Democratic presidential
nomination next year will go to William
J. Bryan if he will take it it no longer
questioned. The reception that has
been given him by the people during
hi* Eastern tour ha* made that beyond
question. The ' Great Commoner" it
hailed by men of all classes and all
sections as the leader of his party and
as one of the greatest champions of the
common people In their struggle for
freedom from capital.
Probably never before was Mr. Bryan
given a reception of greater signifi
cance than that at Brooklyn at the
banquet in Jefferson's honor when
Edward M. Shepsrd, the brilliant law
yer and scholar, of New York; Gov.
Warfleld, of Maryland, former Gov. J.
Eoge Tyler, of Virginia, Congressman
James, of Kentucky, former Mayor
Josiah Qunincv. of Boston, Augustus
Thomas, the playwright and orator,
and others pledged their fealty and that
of the states they represented to him,
each vying with other In the prodigal
use of ad ectives in expressing their ad
miration and the esteem of those for
whom they spoke.
Strange as it may appear, at the pres
ent time it seems that Mr. Bryan's
greatest weakness as a candidate will
be a failure to get the support of the
more radical element in his party.
This is mide apparent by the announce
ment that William Ft. Hearst will be a
candidate for pres. dent as a representa
tive of the raJicala. With Mr. Hearst
a candidate it is easily understandable
that he would draw a sufficient number
of votes.that would otherwise go to Mr.
Bryan, to make the election of the latter
extremely improbable.
If the Hearst wing of the Democratic
party would give Mr. Bryan loyal sup
port he would probably be elected as
against any Republican other than
President Roosevelt.
LET HIM TRY US
Psrhaps the reason for the Cubans
calling Taft a ''jolly man" was that he
told them they were Si for self-govern
ment? Po?t Intelligencer.
Just let the Secretary say self-gov
ernment for Alaska and see what we
will call him "Jolly man" will not be
in it
The mixing of professionalism In
northern baseball has taken away a
deal of the ioteress that attached to the
?port because of the rivalry of locality,
it Is true, yet Skagway should not Tet
matter go by default. If our people do
not like to measure up with others in
hiring professional players we can, At
least, give loyal support to a good, local
team.
Judging from her past performances
in being interesting one would say that
Evelyn Thaw s book will never cause
ennui.

EORfVER ESTRANGED
(Faibanks Northern Light)
By his failure to appreciate the situ
ation, by bis lack of knowledge of men
and by bis carelessness acd indifference
to the rights of others and the senti
ments entertained by all; true pat
riotic citizens of our republic, he [Gov.
Hoggatt] has forever estranged him
self from them and can no longer rep
resect them or anybody else other than
the little interested crowd In the first
division and so-called ''best people." he
met here.

ONE WEAK SPOT
Moat Alaska People Have ? Weak
Part And Too Often It'* The Back
Everyone has a weak spot.
Too often it's a bad buck.
Twinges follow every sudden twUt.
Dull aching keeps up, day and night
Tells you the kidneys need help?
For backache is really kidney-ache.
A kidney cure is what you need.
Doan's Kidney Fills cure sick kidneys
Cure backache and all utir.ary ills.
Mrs. J. W. Painter, of H10 Fast 7th
St., Portland. Oregon, says: liI have
not las* any of my faith in Doan's Kid
ney Pills since I publicly recommended
the remedy in February 1903. As 1
stated at that time, a severe spell of
sickness early in my life left me with
weak kidneys and as time went on, 1
suffered more and more with spells of
i backache. The pain through the kid
neys was torture and often I could not
find a comfortable position to lie In.
When able to be up and around, I war
troubled with headaches and diz/.ineis
and could not stoop or lift anything. I
doctored and used various treatments,
but nothing seemed to help me any un
til 1 began using Doan's Kidney Fills.
Tho use of this remedy was very satis
factory. It gave me such relief that I
cannot hesitate to recommend it and
will put in a good word for Doan's Kid
ney Pills whenever I find an opiw
tunity."
