AT THE WRONG TARGET
The Juneau Dispatch seems to think
It disposes of the Daily Alaskan's ob
jection to securing professional baseball
players when it says Skagway has
resorted to the practice as well as have
other towns. Last fall it likened this
paper to the kettle that is said to hare
called the pot black, and just the other
other day it said:
?'Last season the Skagway baseball
team impoC*. a professional pitcher
for thejf^ourth of July fame. Later
the* Secured three professional players
It** the championship game scheduled
lT .ater in the season."
The Dispatch is training its guns on
the wrong target. The Daily 'Alaskan
has ne^er pretended that Skagway has
been free of this objectional feature of
Northern sport. In the beginning it
said that all the towns hare been more
or leas guilty.
However, the Dispatch is wrong in
saying that Skagway imported a "pro
feseionai" pitcher for its Fourth of July
games last year, though it amounted to
aimoe: the saire thing. Mr. Miller
waa in Skagway on his way to Fair
banks on a business trip and he was
induced to remain over for the Igames.
It is, also, fair to say that Skagway
did not originate the practice of hiring
men from the outside. It waa forced
to it in self-defense.
But, be that as it may, the Daily
Alaskan's objection is to the practice,
let it apply to whom it will. The
introduction of professionalism has
been enough to destroy much of the
local rivalry in tne sport and insuf
ficient to gire us lirst-ciass professional
baseball. It makes it neither one
tbing or the oiher, it is having a de
cidedly wet blanket effect on which
should be an interesting diversion.
U is conceded that the 26 votes of
Wisconsin id the next national Repll
caa convection will be (or Senator La
Follette, with him out of it, the votes
will go as he directs. It is said there
is nothing to Wisconsin but La Follette.
He is the State, and it is the voice of
the people that has made it so.
From Daniei to Ryan! Oh, shades of
Washington and JerTerson and Madison
and Monroe and JEenry and Marshall
and Lee! Oh glory, and fame of
the Old Dominion, mother of presidents
and states! Will it ever be?
It is not surprising to those who have
known Judge Wickershsm long and
followed his career that his personality,
legal ability and methods of procedure
have captured the bar. press and people
of Juneau.

President Kooseveit, will become presi

LIKES HIM
Editor Hopp Describes Judge
Wicker9ham
This is the way Charles A. Hopp,
editor of the Douglas News, who is a
Juror in the United States distriot
court, describes Judge Wlckersham:
"Among the varied emotions of jury
men, summoned to appear at the United
States court at Juneau, was a curiosity
to see Judge James Wiclcersham, some
times called 'James, the Terrible.' The
judge has the general appearance of a
prosperous business man. He is rather
small, compact, close knit, and has an
air of determination about him that is
accentuaied by a firm, square jaw. He
has dark hair and a second crop mus
tache of the same color. He wears a
plain business suit of dark material, a
standing collar, and a pale lavender
necktie. The most striking thing
about Judge Wickersham is his eyes.
They ire dark, keen and always moving
He sees everything that transpiies in
the court room, although his mind
ne?er wanders from the business in
hand, and his decisions are prompt and
clever. Jurymen who want to "get off"
Sod him a hard proposition. They all
look alike to him, and he plays no
favorites."

MAV PROVE FATAL
When Will Alaska People Learn the
Importance of It ?
Backache Is only a simple thing at
first;
But when you know 'tis from the
kidneys:
That serious kidney troubles follow;
That diabetes, Brlght's disease may
be the fatal end,
You will "ladly profit by the follow
ing experience.
William Bumgardner, 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 but 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 Doau'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 way 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."
