? SUICIDAL MOVEMENT
Putting aside the absurdity of Che at
titude in which be place* himself when
the mayor of Juneau goes to an appoint
ire governor and asks, with a "please,
sir," "can we hare congress allow us to
do this or that," and aot considering
the czarlike tone of finality with which
the rediculous Got. Hoggalt answers
the humble petition, that movement
originating down at Juneau to petition
congress to require the federal author
ities to keep tbeir hands off minor
crimes within the limits of Alaskin
cities was a very foolish proposition,
considered from any standpoint one
cares to assume.
In the first place, congress has given
the cities control over such matters us
gambling, the social evil and kindred
things, already. The federal author
ities are not actio; or pretending to
act in the premises at all. So, imagine
the questions that would be asked by
the chairman of a congressional com
mittee should Alaska appear, asking
that the law. permitting federal author
ities to act under any circumstances, be
repealed.
The questions and answers, no doubt,
would be something like the following:
"Haven't you a law now making it
the duty of tne cities to act in these
matters? "

??Yes. '
?'Are they acting ? "
"Are the 'ederal *"thorUles SBWr~'
fering V"
? Then -hit do you seek by this pro
posed ch.nge ?'
What would be 90 honest answer .
There could be but one
??Well, we deeiie that gambling game?
be p remitted to run. We do not want
to doe them, but are compelled to do
w f0r fear that the federal authority
win act. we want the aothorityJU,
enforce the law taken awav from the
latter that the necessity fores to en
force it be removed."
What would be (he result ? 4 ?"
body answer.
In the meantime, by tfjing to force
their ''wide-open"dem*nds to the front,
a few citizen are putting .n the bands
of Gov. Hogg." the power to prevent
U,. people of Alaska from eopjinr
their right to ^-government. They
are giving him imphmenu with
? forge upon them the shackles o a
few non-resident corporations whose
tole interest in Alaska is to make
monev out of it-or, in the word, of
President Bowevelt, "to .kin the terri
tory and leave it."
oeooraT^asdTs^hology
That thsre is a p.ycbological differ
ence between the people of the Kast
and those of the South and We.t was
emphasized bv the verdict in the Thaw
case which came to an end 10 days ago.
It would-have been almost impossible
to have found . jury west of the Mis
sissippi river or south of tne Mason
and Dixon's line which would not have
acquitted Harry Thaw within a few
minutes after retiring from the jury
box. This difference is not a new
thing. It has been a source of much
discussion for decades. The Thaw
?erdict only brings it to the fore again.
Manv thing, have been urged as a
cause for this condition. The one
generally suggested in the South and
West is that the people of their sections
llTt closer w Nature and come 10
contact with first principles In such a
way that they are more elemental and
ieM artificial than the people of the
Vmat Theit contention i? that in the
taet civilisation has oecome so com

Utter. Id other words, it Is contcnd* 1
that this refusal of eastern jort s
to coniidor the provocation when a m 1
kill is ao udcodscIous working of t a
first law of self-preservation in the
minds and hearts of those who ire
helplessly dependent upon others I r
their own safety.
The ban has been placed on charivari
at Seattle. The otber day some big
boys who could not get a newly married
couple to. respond by the use of the
noise making implements began throw
ing rocks. The bride was struo'i on
the temple and did not recover
for some time. Among the
charivari party were high-school boys,
old enough to go to j til. The ban
should be placed against the chsrivari
tn all parts of the country. It is a
barbarous proceeding which has a
tendency to make hoodlums of those
who participate in it. Skagway stopped
the practice five years ago, during the
administration of Mayor Woodruff, and
it bss remained stopped since that time.
The Ketchikan Miner says the
announcement that the Guggenheiros
have purchased the Hadley smelter is
premature, at least. It savs no ;sale
has taken place yet and it intimates {a
doubt that one is contemplated.

John Marshall, employed on he
Northern Pacific R. R.t who live- at
930 Souta D. St., Tacoma, Wash , s.iys:
A fall which strained my back must
have injured my kidneys, for 1 suffered
for more than seven years with kirney
trouble. The secretions were irreg '.ar
and contained a heavy brick dust s -di
ment after remaining over night. Tnere
was more or less pain across the su all
of my back, which was very severe after
working in a stooping position for auv
length of time and I had to be careful
when straightening up or I suffered
severe twinges of pain. I also ha!
headaches and spells of dizziness. I
treated with a physician and used diff
erent remedies but found no more than
temporary relief. At length, I noticed
recommendations of Doia's Kidney
Pills in <he newspapers and I got a box.
Ttiey stopped the aching In my back,
corrected the kidney difficu'ttes and
banished the headaches and dizziness.
Other members of my family have since
used Doan's Kidney Pills with the same
good results.-'
