THE VALDE2 MESS
That Is a bad state of affairs that was
reported from Valdez lo Saturday's
dispatches. The going under of the bank
gave the Reynolds interests a black
eye, but the condition that the reading
of the dispatch oonveys will certainly
prove the death knell of the outfit.
Out of the tangled condition of disaster
the first cry that the fallen company is
heard to mutter it, "The Guggenheim*
did it." This may be true, but of what
relief is that to the Boston minister*
who, trying to make a little easy
money? getting" something for noth
ing?induced the members of their
congregation to "lord up" on Reynolds
stock? Wherein does It assist the girl
stenographer who puts her savings into
a wild cat railroad? The Reynolds
company went Into the fight with the
Guggenheim* with eyes open and they
have lost and that is all there is to it.
Reynolds asserts that aahlp full of
money is on the way to the scene, but
it may take take more than his state
ment to restrain the angry men at
Valdez from violence until his "ship
comet in."

HUGHES WITH TAFT
Tests made of the sentiment of lead
ing Republicans, in various parts of the
country and many States, show that
Iaft and Hughes are favored by the
sime class of citizens. Both are strong
with the admirers of the President.
Both stand well with the progressive
element of the Republican party. They
are alike in finding their support chief
ly among voters who have no special la
te rests to serve or schemes to promote.
Taft is much the more popular of
these two strong Republicans. He is
far more experienced in public life.
He had gained great distinction before
Governor Hughes was ever heard of,
except as a New York lawyer. Taft is
the national figure now. His support
is less local than that of Hughes. He
is stronger in practically every part of
the country. His prominence in the
Roosevelt administration goes far to
ward insuring him continued predom
inance in the elements of the Republic
an party which like both Taft and
Hughes.
This situation seems clearly to point
to the combination of Taft and Hughes
upon the same ticket. Taft, as the
more popular man, better known and
far more experienced in public affair*,
must have tirat place, of course. The
New York governor will make an ideal
candidate for Vice President. The
Ohio-New Yo.k team will be one to
sweep the country against any possible
opposition.
The more the Taft- Hughes ticket Is
considered the better it looks. -
HOW II LOOKS
In an effort to find out the opinions of
republican.-* of the middle western
states regarding President Roosevelt's
policies and their choice for his succes
sor, in view of the president's definite
refusal to acoept a renomination, the
Chicago Tribune asked editors of re
publican newspapers, representatives,
legislators, and other political leaders
of eleven middle western states to ex
press themselves, and received more
than 1.700 replies.
In the list of suggested candidates for
president, Secretary Taft is the first
choice of 944, second choice of 322 and
third choice of 185. Speaker Cannon is
first choice of 191, second choice of 259
and third choice of 278. Governor ;
Hnghes, of New York, is first choice of J
184, second choice of 860 and third
choice of 280. Vice President Fair
banks is first choice of 150, second
choice of 147 and third choice ot 194.
Senator Knox is chosen first by only 19,
while 121 make him their second selec
tion and 270 their third.
President Roosevelt is included as
first choice by 158 of* the men who
reply, some of whom say be should be
nominated in spite of himself. Sen
ator La Folette gets 239 votes, of which
^9 are from Wisconsin.
Judge Lsndis gets 35, Secretary Root
45, Mr. Shaw 30, Governor Cummins,
of Iowa. 58, Secretary Cor'.elyou 17 and
Senator Beverldge 13. Senator Dol li
ver, of Iowa, Is mentioned by 12; War
ner, of Missouri, by 11; Spooner, of
Wisconsin, by 7; Deneen, of Illinois, by
10; Foraker, of Ohio, by 7, and W
Alden Smith, of Michigan, by 7.
Others mentioned are Nicholas Long
worth, E. A. Hitchcock, C. E. Magoon,
Governor Banly, Governor Van Sant,
Governor Frantz, of Oklahoma; Sec-'
ator Knute Nelson, Judge Day; Repre
sentative Townsend, of Michigan,
Clapp, of Minnesota, and the sons of
Presidents Lincoln, Grant and Garfleli .
On the basils of the returns, Tatt
would have I5O delegates to the conven
tion; Cannon, 54; Fait banks, 30, and
La Follette, 26.
WANTON BUTCHERY
A story of the ruthless slaughter of
mountain sheep comes from Carcross,
where It is Mid a part; of hunters wbo
lately went into the Wheaton country
killed scores of aheep for the mere pur
pose of securing their heads. There
were three hunters in the party arid
they took out only nine heads, but to
secure that number it Is said that fully
100 sheep were killed, as Indians lately
returned from that country assert that
dead sheep are lying around on eveiy
side, only those having fine head* hav
ing been aa much as touohed after
belog shot down. Such wanton slaugh
ter of game is an outrage and should be
summarily stopped. The matter is one
which should be taken up by the Yukon
council and regulated in such a manner
as to not only protect the game but also
provide for a heavy license on all hun
ters wbo come here soley for the pleas
ure of hunting.? The Whiteborse Star
The Record and Dispatch at Juneau
are devoting nearly all their space to
the abuse of each another. What the
editors of the two paper* think of
one another is of no material interest
to the public. Alaskans pay to get the
news, not to have editors go into each
others graveyards. What difference
does it make if the Record does fake
United Press dispatches? Every one
would rather see It do that than defend
the wrongdoings of Governor Hogi?att
England suppressed a production of
the opera "The Mikado" out of defer
ence to the feelings of the Japanese.
It is not likely that she will dUown
British Columbia, though, because of
the riots there.
Those forty cocktails refuse to down,
?ays the Baltimore News. We thought
the fact that they were down oaused a'l
the trouble. t
Tbe glad news comes that the army
in Cuba is well. Being well is about
all it has had to do lately.
The first "R" month Is more than
half gone, but ice cream Mill retains

Grateful for this lnfonnat'on
When your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or aching;
When urinary troubles set In,
Your kidneys are "in a bad way."
Doan's kidney Pills will cure vou.
Here is local evidence to prove it:
Mrs. Martha Currington, of I7IS
South K st.,Tacoma, Wash., says: I can
cheerfully recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills as a remedy which does just what
is claimed for it. Backache and dis
order of the kidneys troubled me for a
number of years. There were other
symptoms which also showed that the
kidneys were not acting properly. I
used different remedies which were rec
ommended to me by friends but I never
used anything that went right to the
root of the trouble like Doan's Kidnev
PUlls did. They can certainly be
relied npon and will bring satisfactory
results in every castf" where they are
given a fair trial."
