THE PARAMONT DUTY OF THE
IMMEDIATE HOUR
The thing of paramont importance
just now to Alaska is the selection of a
man who will properly represent the
wishes of the people of Alaska at the
next session of congress. Alaska has
waited long? knocked insistently at the
gates of the administration for a hear
ing. All the while she has been
knocked just as insistently and hard by
those within the gates having personal
and priyate ends to serve in prevent
ing the hearing. Now the door has
been opened, at last, just wide enough
to admit a voteless representative to
the nation's councils who has at least
the poor privilege of speaking up in
public and permitting the powers to
know at first hand how we all fee! about
it. away up here in the negelected
north. The tirst man to enter through
the opened gate should first of all
KNOW what wo want. Second he
should be capable of being understood?
making the congress of the United
States understand our condition and our
most pressing desire, the thing nearest
our hearts, the boon of liberty and tbe
privilege of being allowed to steer our
own boat. No man in Alaska is better
equipped to perform this service than
former Governor Swineford.

LA FOLLETTE
Senator La Follette wants to succeed
Mr. Roosevelt. And who not ? Mr.
Koosevell has given the Americ?n
people a decided taste for men who act
ratter than talk? or at least who act
as well as talk, for no man will accuse
Mr. lUxweveltof being a sphvnx in the
matter of speach. La Follette is dis
tinctly of the class of reformers whore
form. He placed his mark on the state
of Wisconsin and he is most cordially
hated by the looters of that state. But
in the scramble for precedence at the
next national republican convention
La Follette will have to encounter ex
actly the same sort of opposition as
lloosevelt had to overcome ? not only
the secret machinations of the mill
ionaire^ but the open cry and suspicion
of '"unsafe" and "unsane."
In stature La Follette is under the
medium, and his short eropDed hair
grows straight up? he looks the rest
less Sre br and that he is and will so
lend himself to the slurs and suspicious
of his enemies. Re is to be counted
upon however in the next assembling
of that national convention that, at its
last session, turned him so coldly down.
There is this to be said however,
that the presidential office as a mere
honorary affair, a figure-head to dec
orate the American governmental
structure, has passed into history.From
this time the people will expect the
president to fulfill the meaning of the
word "executive," to assume the initia
tive and "do things," To be sure it is
a dangerous role, and the "unsafe" and
"unsane" element will have to be care
fully safeguarded against. But certain
ly times have changed? and so far
greatly to the better.
The middle west has contributed its
quota to the long list of great disasters
that have struck upon the face of the
gray old world this most remarkable
year of modern history? remarkable
for these scencs of physical upheavals.
To be sure the cloud burst at Denver,
was'nt much ?s compared to some
others but serves to show that 'the
storm is not over and to keep the timid
in a nervous state of mind while they
wonder what next.
MISSEDTHf
JAPAN TRIP
Mrs. J. A. Greene, who passed
through here from Dawson recently on
the first steamer of the year with the
plan of joining a party of friends at
Vancouver for a trip to Japan, reached
Vancouver just one day after the trans
Pacific steamer with the party had de
parted. Mr. Greene decided not to
take a later boat, but will visit in the
states, and return to Dawson.
I* Spain,.
; "On* meets with quevr oppo?lt? h
i Spain." said a man who has traveled
| In that country. "In the Basque prov
inces the people are alert, up to date^
thrifty and industrious. In Barcelona
I was agreeably surprised at the erV
dences of modern progress, and Its prla
cipal street the Rainbia, is undeniably
finer than any boulevard In Paris. Ii
some other sections the natives art
about the liuilt of sloth and evince a
don't care spirit in everything that con
cerns their temporal welfare. They tell
a story of a Spanish shoemaker who
was approached by a customer with
wornout shoes with a request that
they be repaired immediately. The cob
bler called to his wife to know how
much money there was iu the house
She answered enough to supply th?
family wants for another day, where
upon the customer was told that If he
was In such a great hurry he had bet
ter try some other shop. This Is the
spirit that prevails In some parts of
I the kingdom, but must not be taken aa
a national characteristic."? Washington
Tost.
The Word "Cad."*
"Cad." it is pointed out by a write*,
Is a word furnishing "a pathetic la
stance of verbal degeneration." ill
gays: "Its grandfather 'cadet' and itl
father 'caddie' are still alive in tb?
language, though the relationship ii
recognized by few. 'Cadet,' signtfyinj
by derivation from the Latin a -'little
head," or 'little chief,' was a sufficiently
honorable word for the yonnger sou ol
a noble family, and acquired ita ino<l j
ern army sense from the fact that th>
army was often the destiny of voongei
sons. But it also begat 'cadle' or 'cad
die," a Junior or subordinate in general
such as a bricklayer's assistant or the
familiar golf caddie. Then Vaddie" 01
'cad' came to mean an odd job maa
and from calling the men who hunj
about to pick up jobs by this name
Oxford undergraduates presently ap
plied It to 'town' in general, as
trusted with 'gown.' As no compliment
was thereby intended, ita tinal deff
radation is obvious."
Michael Anitelo.
Michael Angelo, while painting "Tht
Last Judgment," fell from his scaffold
and received a painful injury in the
leg. He shut himself up and would uol
see any one. Baclo Kontinl. a cele
brated physician, came by accident tc
see him. He found all the doors closed.
No one responding, he went into the
cellar and came upstairs. He found
Michael Angelo in his room, resolved
to die. His friend the physician would
not leave him. He brought liinnout of
the peculiar frame of mind into which
he had fallen.
NATURE TELLS VOL
As Many Reader Knows Too Well
When the kidneys are sick,
Nature tells you all about it.
The urine is nature's calendar.
Infrequent or too frequent acticn:
Any urinary trouble tells of kidney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
J. W. Strong, a retired veteran of ">06
Ohio Street Bslltngbam, Wash,, nays:
"Up to three years ago 1 had never
suffered any form of kidney complaint.
After that time I moved up the Colum
bia river to Whatcom Lake, and three
months after locating there I began to
notice symptons of kidney trouble. The
first was a dull aching p?ia across the
back, and which finally got so bad that
I was unable to get out of the house at
nil. Changes of position were accom
panied with severe twinges of piiu and
the kidney secretions were dark in
co'or and contained a heavy sediment,
and pa!sing was accompanied with
pain. I think all this trouble was
brought on by drinkin impure water
while at Wbatcom lake. However true
that may be, I procured a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills took them according to
directions, and was completley cured of
my troubles. About a month ago I had
a severe attack of the grip ard was
afraid this would bring on kidney
trouble again, but there has been no
symptom of a recurrence. I am satisfi
ed that the cure is permanent."
