SHOULD GIVE REASONS
Go*. Swineford thinks Got. Hoggatt
shou'd at least show sufficient respect
for the people of Alaska who differ
with him on the question of self-govern
msnt to give some reason or fact 'to
bolster up his thai far unsupported
assert. oas in opposlnion to territorial
government. Got Hoggatt has made
the bald assertions that the "best
people" and the "soltd Interests" are
against territorial government. When
asked to sit something in justification
of the assertions he remains discreetly
quiet. The advocates of self-fcOTern
meot haTs been pouring out facts and
figures In support of their contentions
and Got. Swineford thinks It Is doe
them that they be met by something
more than the goTernor's mere say
so.
Speaking of this matter Got. Swin?>
ford's Ketchikan paper says:
"It will not truthfully be said that
the governor has been lacking in the
expression of his oploioD on matters
pertaining to Alaska; the trouble Is
that he has been utterly lacking in
the respect due to the differing |views
and opinions of a people possessed of a
fair degree of intelligence, insisting
that they should accept his ipse dixit as
final and conclusive. He has asserted
thjt a territorial organization would
entail an expeose of a million dollars,
annually, on the people of Alaska, and
when asked to make good that extra
ordinary assertion with a statement of
facts and flgures, treats the wholly
respectful request with seeming con
temptuous silence. He has, asserted
that the "best people" in Alaska ars
opposed to .territorial government in
in Alaska, as are also the "solid inter
ests,1' and that the demand for a
charge from our p reset. t bastard form
of government to one more in conso
nance with the American principle of
popular sovereignity, comes from a
few demagogues and saloon keepers
ooly 1
"The Miner would like exceedingly
well to be able to credit Mr. Hoggatt
with the possession of at least ?
modicum of honest candor; bui
until he makes good, by substantial
proof, the wholly reckless assertion)
credited to and not aeoied by him,
thst credit will not be accorded him
either by the press or the people of
Alaska.
"Tne way is yel open to him to make
hit peace with the people whose
lnulliitence he has indirectly, if not
Intentionally Insulted. He can do that
in no otherwar, however, than by
substantiating, or trying to substanti
ate the trut 1 of at least one or two of
(be reckless aiseraons referred to,
if Indeed he cannot truthfully deoj
having nude them. But for the
official position he occupies they would,
in the absence of substantial proof not
be given credence anyweere.
"The Miner wilt see to It that the
question of popular home guvernmeLi
for Alaska is kept to the fore, and
unless tne substantiations asked for are
ere long forthcoming, will undertake
a rattling of the dry rones of the
opposition that will cause some few
people at least to sit up and Uke
heed,"
"Natural flowers were sent from
Skagway."That is a customary sentence
in a Northern write-up of a funeral,
a wedding or a social or festival occa
sion. Could there be a better advertise
ment for Skagwsy ?

When a healthy man or woman be
gin* to run down without apparent
caus?, becomcs weak, languid, depressed
suffers backache, dizzy spells and
urinary disorders, look to the kidnevs
(or the cause of it all. Keep the kidneys
well and they will keep you well. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
keep them well.
J as. Vandervere, motorman O. E. Ry.,
living on Central St., corner Second St.,
Oiympia, Wash., says: "Just about
two years a?o, I learned about Doan's
Kidney Pills, I was troubled a great
deal with backache at 'be time. At In
tervals, the pain was severe and at
other timet, a steady dull aching.
Whether it was my work or colds or
both that, caused the derangement, I do
not know, but what I do know, Is that
Doan's Kidney Pills quickly relieved
and eradicated the complaint, stopped
the aching completely and strengthened
my back so that I could lift, stoop or
bring any of tbe back muscles into play
without the slightest twinge. I consider
Doan'a Kidney Pills unsurpassable.''
