NEWSPAPERS KILLED IT
It is conceded the Jamestown Exposi
tion Is a failure. The barrels of money
that hare been dumped into bfee affair
will be tost, and the country that looked
forward to a boom for having given the
show will get instead a black sye for
havitag done so. Back of tho failure
has been made the startling discovery
that one man, a newswriter, is respon
tlblc for the tottering of the hopes of
those who originated the plan. Wheu
the Fair was to be opened the manage
ment invited a largo number of news
papermen to attend the opening? they
were to be the guests of the exposition,
and tho management fitted out an ex
cellent boat for them and made ar
rangements to entertain them, but
there was a small brained man occupy
ing an important position in the direc
torate, and he thought too much atten
tion was being paid to the newspaper
men, so he substituted the big boa., that
was to be at the disposal of tho writers
and gave them instead a tub to ride in
?he in other ways, went out of his
way to show his authority. The re
salt was that one of the newspapermen
became indignant at the action of the
little brained big position occupying
man, and lie got the others interested
in his way of thinking, and the report
ers refused to boost the fair as it should
have been boosted, and now it has been
definitely agreed that the collapse of
the Jamestown stao.v was the failure to
get favorable assistance from the news
papers.
ALASKA'S ANNIVERSARY
The observance of the fortieth aoni
versaty of the raising of the American
flag over Alaska by the Alaska Club, of
Seattle, is of more than mual signific
ance at this time. Not yet do the
American people fully appreciate the
real value of this rich possession, and
not yet has the American government
shown that intimate care for Alaska's
material and moral welfare it 9h<>uld
have -ihown long since.
But tbe light is breaking an upon the
northern country. Forces are reshap
ing this vast empire of natural wealth
Lines of communication are being
opened up. New veins of wealth are
beiog tapped and exploited. Trade
centers are building. Shrewd railroad
ers are eager to press their Hues to tbe
new sources of wealth, and, in fact, ev
erywhere energies are making for a
greater Alaska, to be no longer looked
upon as a stranger to the blessings of
our constitutional system and a friend
less orphan, of alien parentage, in the
cold and cheerless north: for ia the day
to come, a near day of goodness and na
tional sanity, Alaska will be accorded
those rights which Alaskans are enti
tled to demand and receive at the
hands of the federal government.
What Alaska may be forty vear?
from now, no m?n is desperate enough
to guess: indeed, if some matt, knowing
the potentialities and possibilities of
the northern couotry, should venture a
gue-s in this behalf, there are sane
m?n in this couotry who would look
upon him as a dreamer of dreams im
possible of fruition. But, finally,
whether the federal government shall
discharge its obligations early qt late,
Alaska will fully meet the expectations
of those who are now seeking the just
constitutional rights of the territory,
and who. In sesson and out of season,
sing Alaska's praises and battle val
iantly for Alaska's rights Seattle
Post-Intelligencer. *
Louisiana can now hold its head
proudly erect, and the south has been
saved from ignominy and shame.
Tbe President's bear hunt, which be
gan to look like a dismal failure, has
suddenly been converted into a com
plete success. Th; President killed a
bear? a big fellow, and he went into
the jungle to get him. The camp ter
ritory la Northern Louisiana will now
go down in history as among the
famous big ^ame hunting regions of the
United States, and then some.

Truth and
Quality
appeal to the Well-informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts withont-nny debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a Laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, .as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects, always purchase the genuine- -
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
.Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
