THE RECORD HAILS A CAMPAIGN LIE
All Juneau la convulsed with laugh
ter just now at that absurd joke of the
newspaper world, the Juneau Record.
During the entire caropain just ended
the Record stopped at nothing In Its
attempt to make an impression on the
the voters of that town in behalf of
Governor lloggatt's candidate. Every
manner ot silly misrepresentation was
made even to charging the AUs
kaii with soiling out to Corson?and that
la the .'ace of the tact that the Al s'<an
Is as widely read in Jutnau as Is the Ac
cord itself. It sought to work upon the
passions and prejudices of its readers
by declaring in great headlines across
the top of its seven oolumns that "A
vote for Wickersham is a vo:e for Cap
ital removal"
Everybody knows that Wickersham
has never said a word about capital re-'
moval in his life? although if the Rec
ord really represented the spirit of the
people of Junosu nobody would blame
him for do! nsr so. Well, it is said that
Mayor Valentine enjoyed himself on
the day before election by fixing ud an
alleged telegram supposed to be from
Judge Wickersham at Nome, repudi
ating the statement that he is against
the removal of the capital from Juneau,
and declaring in emphatic language
that of ?11 places on earth fitted to be a
capital the city of Junoau was IT. May
or Valentine showed the queer thing to
Eddy Russell and of course he printed
it in the Dispatch that evening? the
evening before the election.
On the third day after the returns
had all come tumbling in, had been
counted and filed awuy and the world
for the most part had turned to other
business, the Record comes out with a
startling tour-column head line? that
dear old chestnutty headline that haa
been relegated to the hell-box along
with the "dull thud" years ago "AN
OTHER LIE NAILED," and in a
spasm of virtuous indignation goes on
to point out that the alleged wire from
Wickersham did'nt check up right,
It was on a SKXDING BLANK and not
a receiving blank, etc., a long list of
evidences of fake being rehearsed to
show what sleuth the Record is. The
evidences are so many and so bald, how
ever, that the Record readers through
the tears of their laughter are wonder
ing why it took the sleuth three days
to discover so palpable a fraud.
Everybody els: in Juneau seenn to
have known it was a joke and of course
supi osol the Record knew it too and
was . -icing its medicine like a Rood gam
bler. That it should have been so young
as to admit the cheap sale three days
after every body else had passed it up has
quite taken the town off its feet. And
then to have the Record set up a cry of
"dirty politics." Was there ever any
thing funnier than this?
The appointment of Mary R. Hart to
the office and duty of looking out for
the educational and woman's exhibit of
Alaska at the A.-Y.-f. exposition will
meet with geoeral approval through
out Alaska. For Mrs. [Iart is known
from end to end of the big empire and
koown for the Rood she has accomplish
ed in just this particular line. Mrs.
Hart had charge of thi? same work for
Alaska for tbe St. Louis exposition
She was one of the uipst popular and
effective women on the staff o! the St
Louis fait and aid wonders in directing
attention to the Alaska exhibit.
IT THAT, THEN AGAIN. ALSO.
"At that," Corson made something
of a whirlwind campaign.
"Then afain," some times evor\
knock is a boost? from some sources.
"He wbo soweth the wind shall reap
the whirlwind." But he who sowetli
the whirlwind ? what did he reap?
"Also," that Hoergetiheim schemo at
Cordova seems to have gone through a*
per schedule, but alas, 'twas wasted
effort.? Juneau Transcript
ft is perfectly plain that the men
who have been standing between Alas
ka and home rule do not represent the
people of Alaska.
The federal government will get to
the truth after a while, aud Alaska's
enemies will be weighed and judged,
and the final verdict to be entered
up against thoir will not be to their
credit? Post-Intelligencer.
Noting his departure from Fairbanks
for Nome, the Fairbanks News, his owu
paper, places over it the heading "Cor
son Leaves for Home." Since the re
turns came in, wonder how long he will
stay "home." After the text steamer
leaves for Seattle, do you think?

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Houlth Is Worth Saving uud Some
Alaska People Know How to Save It.
Many Alaska people take their lives
io their hands by neglecting the kid
neys when the) know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsi
ble for a vast amount of suffering and
ill health, but these is no need to suf
fer nor to remain in danger when all
diseases and aches and palnes due to
weak kidneys can bo quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Doan's
Kiiluoy Pills.
P. Lamtneh. 121 North Terry Ave.
Seattle, Wash., says: "It is now three
year* since I gsvo a testimonial recom
mending Doan's Kidney Pills after the
prompt and satisfactory manner in
which this remedy had relieved me of
kidney trouble which hod affected me
off ami on for a number of years. Just
prior tn using Doan's Kidney Pll's, my
suffering had become more severe, and
one day 1 w?s taken suddonly with at
tacks of sharp paios through my loins (
and bladder. I sent for a doctor who
Gnallv used a catheter. This gave me
great relief at the time but still I had
troublo afterwards with Irritation of
the bladder and with the disordered
action of my kidneys. I bei'an using ?
Doan's Kidney Pills and they acted 1
very promptly and directly on the parts I
affected, so that tho bladder trouble dis- '
appeared and In other way I found great
reallef. This was several years ago but
still I am a hearty advocate of Doan's
Kidney Pills and recommend them to
all sufferers from Kidney trouble."
