NO CALL FOR PESSIMISTS
'?The world more anil more appears to
he in new of watching," is a good
sample of pessimistic utterances that i*
invading the columns of the public
print. There is a strong intimation in
statements like this that the world is
growing more and more dishonest.
This, we hold, not to be true. On the
contrary the [ ublic conscience is ar
oused to a degree of sensitiveness which
arrays it, against wrong doing that has
rarely been realised before. If crooked
ness ami corruption were not exposed,
might assume that there was real vir
ture in appearance and Matter ourselves
that we are muoh more honest than we
really are. Inpassisity there's de
lusion.
Rut this is the era of exposure, and
the searchlight has revealed the trans
gressor In high place*. Why should
this denote that in the aggregate we
are progressing in evil? Is there not
evidence most ample that the vast ma
jority of men are gratified when such
exposures leads to reform and the real
i ation of better conditions? To dis
credit this evidence is to assume that
the great, mass of humanity have at
heart the iove of lying and scounurel
i>m that would comprise hypocrisy.
Such a conclusion is not only repugnant
but without reason.
Why should a body politic inherently
corrupt desire to correct the evil it
loves? Rascals are not interested in
the uprooting of rascality. The forces
that oatter down citadels of ciric cor
ruption in the great centers of popula
tion are to be numerically defined as a
majority of the people. And it is
through regard for righteousness on
the part of lhat majority that the battle
is waged. This regard always exists,
although it is long sutTering an l re
quires the impulse of leadership or
some specific event to bring it into
action.
The world, taken by and large is as
honot as it ever was. To assume
otherwise i> both erroneous and in
jurious. If such opinion should be gen
eral it would mean the prevalence of
a moral malaria more disastrous in
its effect than are the evils from which
we are now -uffering.
It seen.s to be peculiarly fitting that
the republican convention of Alaska
should adjourn until the "City of Seat
tle" shall arrive.

Millions of Dollars of Min

Theodore Barnsdale, Pittsburg owners

for them. The defendants are also
charged with mismanagement, misrep
resentation and favoritism. The east
eners also claim that the company
loaned to Lindeberg and Lindbloom,
one hundred and eighty thousand dol
lars in stock of the latter company.

Swiftwater Bill Again Being
Chased by Officers
When "Swiftwater Bill" Gates of
Klondike fame arrives in Seittle he
will linti himself embraced by the
strong arm of the law, and hauled into
court on contempt proceedings.
The reason for the arrest and con
tempt proceedings is the failure of
Gates to comply with the order of the
court, which granted Beatrice Hera
Gates a divorce last fall and ordered
the husband tq pay her 510,000. So far
Gates ha-< refused to do this and last
suiunn r when he left for Fairbanks he
secreted himself aboard one of the I
steamers plying between Seattle and
St. Michael ami foiled all attempts on j
the part of a number of deputy sheriffs
to unearth him.
The attorneys for Mrs. Gate* (number
uncertain) have received information 1
that he is on his way to Seattle and [
should arrive within a few days via St.
Michael. It is not known on what
steamer the ticKle Klondike!1 is coniiny.
but every ?> esse! will be met at the land
ing by an officer and his arrest is almost
certain.
This it the last chapter so far written
in the history of the matrimonial ex
perience of Swiftwater Bill, and is the
aftermath of his trouble with the
woman known as Beatrice Hera Gates.

1 doctored a ureal deal and took treat

of St. Paul, .Minn,, for three months,
but only received a teni[>orary relief.
The pain was in the small of my back
and was so bad I could not stoop or
straighten up without torture. After
coming out here the complaint still
oiung to until a friend advised me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. I did not p-ty
much attention to hU advice at the
time because I bad used so many thing*
that I hau about lost faith in medicines,
but when I saw them advertised last
summer, as I was badly in need of some
thing to relieve the pain, I tried a box.
It gave me so much relief that I bought

hesitation in recommending them to
anyone suffering from any ailment per
