THAT QUESTION OF PARTY
POLITICS
The Juneau Record-Miner, probably
annoyed by its inability to arouse any
enthusiasm in its proposition to have
the coming Alaskan election conducted
on party lines, devotes much space in a
recent editorial to insinuating that
those who favor non-partisan politics do
so from a desira to control the situation^
It says:
"We don't intend to support any
scheme to hold a mass convention at
which there must necessarily be a
meagre representation, and elect a
DELEGATE THEN* AND THERE That
pats a premium on dishonesty and
trickery in the start, and deprives the
territory of the general ballot where
every man has a part in public affairs."
Well, what do jou propose? It is not
fair to say there would be better rep
resentation at a political convention
than at a non-partisan convention.
Therefore, the plain inference is that
the Record-Miner would have two con
ventions, at each of which '"there must
necessarily be but a meagre represen
tation'' and to the people would be
left the narrow choice between ,two
?' oligarchies."
Those people who have been advo
cating non-partisan politics have plac.
ed no limit on conventions. Thev have
not even insisted that .candidates be
nominated at conventions. In fact most
of them have urged the nomination of
candidates by petition. They bave only
contended that the issues of the cam
paign should have bearing on local ques
tions.
The Daily Alaskan has not been par
ticular as to how candidates were pre
sented to the people, but it has desired
that they be presented in a way that
will make it plain to the voters of the
district WHAT EACH CANDIDATE
STANDS iOR in local matters, and in
such a way that those who agree on
local ' questions can act together.
People in Alaska do not divide on Alas
kan questions as democrats or republi
cans.
The application of party politics to
the situation here could serve no other
purpose than to cause a division of the
people along lines that are purely arti
ficial. Those who agree with each
other on the question of self-govern
ment, for instance, would be forced
into hostile camps for no purpose
on earth, UNLESS IT BE FOR THE
VERV SAKE OF DIVIDING THEM.
And right in this connection is a
very significant thing. The Juneau
Record-Miner, the organ of those who
would introduce partisan politics in
Alaskan affairs, is as SILENT AS THE
GKAVE ON THE QUESTION OF
REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOV
ERNMENT FOR THIS DISTRICT.
What it has said on local matters would
lead one to suppose it believes that we
have now all that we require in the
form of representative (?) government.
The race for the Iowa republican
governorship nomination between Rep
resentative Perkins and Gov. Cummins
is verr close. At the last account
Cummin* had 534 delegates and Perkins
505. Both sides are confident of an
ultimate victory. Cummins' candidacy
represents the tariff levision. elements
of hisparty. Perkins is a "stand pat
ter.''
ALASKA LIQUOR
MIST BE MARKED
The Canadian customs has made a re
gulation that liquor shipments from
the United States for Alaslia through
Canadian territory must be branded
with red paint, "In bond for Alaska."
The regulation is meant to cover ship
ments from Skagway down the Yukon.

The Principal Barbershop and Baths
is tne leading tonsorial establishment
in Alaska. Everything in all the de
partments is strictly modern. The
?baths are first class in all respects.
FIXING IT
Wrangell Will Broaden aud
Straighten Streets
The Dew Wrangell. which is being
built from the ashes of the old, will
have wider and straighter streets than
had the city which was burned to the
ground . Most of the property owners
have given property where needed to
make the changes that have been deem
ed necessary for the common good with
out cost, but it has been found neces
sary to bring suit in at least one in
stance. The case will be inaugurated
at Skagway. George E. Rodman will
be here for that purpose and property
refused the city for the street will be
condemned.
It is proposed to arrange the streets
of the nuw Wrangell in such a way as
to provide tor future growth.
"Wrangell is building up rapidly,"
said Mr. Rodman, "and all evidences of
tbe late fire will soon be eliminated.
Wrangell is one of the substantial
towns of Alaska."

A woman should not have a bad back,
And she woundn't if the kidneys were

kidneys.
Here is a woman who endorses this
claim:
Mrs. Charles \Vetmore,of 2518| William
street. Beliingham, Wash., savs: "I
had attacks of kidney complaints at
various times for several years, indicat
ed by backache, difficulty with the kid
ney secretions, pain and soreiess across
the kidneys and weariness and laDguor.
I could not get proper or necessary sleep
at nigbt. My strength seemed in
sufficient to pertoi-m the oidinaiy house
hold duties without distress and in
other ways when suffering from these
spells my health was in a bad condition.
1 had an attack some time ago, and
knowing of the merits of Doan's Kid
ney Pills I send for a box The pilis
stopped the back ache almost immediate
ly and soon correct cted the action of
the kidney secretions. My health was
greatly improved and I have no hesita
tion in recommecding Doan's Kidney
Pills for any complaint similar to those
which afflicted me."
