PARTISAN POLITICS.
The Cordova Daily Alaskan is op
posing the re-election of James Wlck
ersham to Congress and gives the
following as its reason:
"Wlckersham failed to 'make good,"
for the very reason that he was not
recognized at the capitol as a regular
Republican. Party lines are drawn in
congress and it is hopeless for any
man to expect to successfully put
through legislation of any Importance
unless ho is in thorough affiliation
and harmony with the dominant side
? and this side is the republican
side.''
That is the very reason why James
Wlckersham should be returned to
congress .and its a mighty good rea
40 u for sending independent men front
every state in the Union to congress.
When the republican or any other
political party, gets so lost to all
>ense of fairness and decency that
it refuses to consider the Just needs
of a district unless its representative
comes branded with the trade mark
of partisan vassalage, it is time that
Independents enough were elected to
put that party out of. its autocratic
position. No honest man will ask
another what his religion or politics
is before granting him Justice. If
the republican party is composed of
such men It Is time to get rid of
it and put men there liek James Wlck
ersham. who, while believing in the
principles of republicanism, refuses to I
swallow the program of those who,
would win right or wrong.
The people of Alaska are greater |
than any political party, and any at- I
tempt of the republican party to |
force them into doing its bidding. J
will only awakeu a resentment that
will drive its Alaskan membership
wholly into the independent ranks.
Political parties should win out by I
Just methods and not by bluff and [
threats. ? Ketchikan Miner.

COUNTRY BANKS THE BEST.

"Young niaD, go to the country if
you want a thorough groundwork for
a financial career. Shun the big city
bank, where you are liable to get into
a departmental groove and go no high
er."
Joseph T. Talbert. president of the
Chicago Clearing House association
and first vice Resident of the Com
mercial National bank of Chicngo, was
talking of the reasons as he saw them
for bis being called to New York as
a vice president of the National City
bank when he gate this ndrlce to
young men.
Mr. Talbert attributes his success to
the fact that he was trained In a coun
try Institution and says that he "rub
bed elbows with the farmer."
"In the banking business, as well as
In any line of trade, the man who
knows bis customers, their habits and
peculiarities. Is going to get the best
results. I hare never regretted that
my start was In the country bank. It
was a good school, and no young man
who is in earnest will have cause for
ragret if he takes a course in It."
For a friendly game of Solo, the
Board of Trade is the most pleasant
and cheerful resort in town these
cold days. tf.

After reading the public statement'
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys In good
health since, can be relied upon to
perform the same work in other cas
es. Read this:
K. C. Kenton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
ment for publication, telling of my ex
perlence with Doans Kiduey Pills som
years ago and 1 am uow pleased to
confirm all 1 then said iu their favor.
1 was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally 1 became so bad off that
1 was obliged to give up my work.
1 had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bod for almost a
mouth. The unnatural condition of
the kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. Whan 1 learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since had no return of kidney
complaint"
