FOLLOWING PRECEDENT
Before John G. Held, national com
mitteeman (or Alaska, call* a
territorial convention in Alaska to
meet next November to elect delegates
to the Republican national convention
of IMS, be should read up a little on
precedents. For a quarter of a century
tha call for the Republican national
convention baa directed that delegates
be elected not less than thirty nor
more than sixty or ninety days before
the date fixed lor the national conven
tion to assemble.
The .convention of 1903 will not be
called until next Demember and the
national committee might waive the
long standing rule in behalf of Alaaks,
but it would be somewhat embarrass
ing if Alaska should elect delegates in
November and a little later be ordered
to elect again.? Seward Gateway.
If the Alaska Republicans should
hold their convention to elect delegates
to the Republican national convention
which will nominate candidate! for
president and vice-president next
November they will be followiog
precedent. The Republican convention
which chose the delegates to the lau
Republican national convention was
oeld in November, 1903. The delegates
were seated without question. The
fact of the matter is there are many
reasons why Alaskan contentions
should be held in the fall, the principal
one being that more complete repre
sentation can be secured at that time.

SHUTTING OUT AMERICAN
LITERATURE
The British government has reduced J
the postage on Briii?h periodicals of all
kinds goiag to Canada. The action
was tateo for the purpose of encourag
ing the Canadian people to read British
papers and magazines instead of Amer.
can. Canadians nave acted recently
for the purpose of inducing the poople
to read more Canadian literature and
less American.
There is another way to accomplish
the end our Canadian and British
cousins are seeking: Let them make
better papers and magazines than the
Americans make. If that is done their
difficult; will solve itself.
In the Spoiane city .election the Re
publicans will represent law and order
acd the Democrats the "wide-open"
policy, The Republicans say that they
favor a "liberal" administratis and
specifically anoouuce that they are not
in favor of Sunday closing, but they
condemn "municipal partnership with
crime." They favor the abolition of
gambling acd the closing of s& oont at
lam. They charge the administra
tion of Mayor Daggett of protecting
vice and crime acd with keeping the
city full of thugs acd vicious people
generally. The Democrats have re
nominated Mayor Daggett. The
tmting is even money on the result.
The indications that much of this
anti-Koosevelt movement among the
laboring men and other clashes is being
worked up by plotters, who seek lo
destroy the power o ( the president not
on account of his opposition to certain
labor leaders but because he is in favor
of dethroning trusts which for to long a
time ran the country for their own
good, arc many. It might be added
that signs are not lacking that there is
co-operation in this matter between
William R. Hearst and the "System "
whe are as one . n one question, only ?
their opposition to and hatred for
Roosevelt.
The weakest and most redlcuious of
all President Roosevelt's numerous
mistakes has been bis mixing up in
this Moyer, Haywood and Pettibooe
matter. In the labor troubles of Colo
rado and Idaho both siaes have gone to
such extremes that -it were not oaly
foolish but dangerously wrong for the
presided to phce himself in the atti
tude of being the paruzan of either
side.
Those whose intertsts would be
served by the ' degopuUrixstlon" of
President Roosevelt are legion and
they are all getting busy.

Importance of It ?
Backache is only a simple thing a ,
first;
But when you know 'tis from the
kidneys;
Thai serious kidney troubles follow;
That diabetes, Bright'* disease may
be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the follow
ing experience.
William Bumgardaer, retired, of 425
Water St., Salem, Ore., says: "I speak
from personal experience when I say
that Doan's Kidney Pills do all that is
claimed for them in curing kidney com
plaint and backache. I had felt the
need of such a remedy for a good long
while bat did not know just what I
should use. I have found that many
medicines are worthless and that even
physicians' prescriptions do not always
prove effective. When I read of Doati's
Kidney Pills, however, I was induced
to procure a Supply. The backache and
irregular condition of the kidneys which
had annoyed me, quickly gave w?y on
beginning to use your remedy and I was
restored to a condition of ease and com
fort. I can recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills to anyone in need of such a
medicine."
