m MUCH TALKING
A
Those gentlemen who have gone from
Nome and other Northern points lo Se
attle on their way to Juneau as dele
gates to the Republican convention are
working overtime in the newspapers in
Seattle telling wbat they will and what
they will not do to Governor Hoggatt
at the coming convention. This Is foo!
hartly. What they should do is to keep
their own counsel, and when the time
comes to act to be in a position to catch
the Governor unawares. The idea that
tome people have of going hunting for
deer acoompanied by a brass band has
never resulted in game bagging. The
first lesion in politics is to learn to keep
one's mouth shut, at least part of the
time.
WHIPPING THE PRESS
The Canadian Pacific Telegraph com
pany, says a Winnipeg special to Cbe
New York Times, has declared a boy
cott against the Winnipeg dailies and
refused to deliver ihem auy news spe
cials except at full commercial rates.
Thero is a notice in the operating
room instructing operators to refuse all
messages addressed to tb?se dailies.
The company has a virtual monopoly in
western Canada. The trouble arose
over a combination of western dailies
to fonn a press association, with a rep
resentative to send and receive all
news. The telegraph company real
ized that by this means they would be
transmitting but one message, which
would be used In the same cities by two
or three papers.
The company's first action was to re
fuse matter addressed or sent by the
association. Then matters went along
quietly until R. L, Borden, a Conserva
tive leader in Canada, spoke in Vancou
ver, and the Free Press received the
message for three Winnipeg dailies.
The company then presented its ulti
matum, stating that unless the papers
signed an agreement cot to distribute
news the service would be refused.
The dailies declined, and the telegraph
company Las completed its boycott, and
for the last few days practically all
western Canada news publish cd there
has been received by mail or clipped
from country exchanges
The Daily News, which has been call
ing attention to the defects in the tele
graph service, has been refused all tele
g'aphic matter upon refusal to sign an
agreement not to discuss the working
of the company in the future.? Ameri
can Press.
This attempt will fail as it certainly
should. . There is no Telegraph or
Steamship company that can dictate to
the newspapers what they should cr
should not publish, that is, provided, of
course, the editor has auv backbone.
For a time, to be sure, .he publishers
may be embarrassed, but, in the end.
the companies will gracefully come to
tkeir knitting.
LAWSON ON ADVERTISING
Declaring that advertising twas bis
chief aim and game in lite, Thomis
W, Lawsoo, of Boston, addressed mem
bers of the Sphinx club at. the Waldorf
Astoria in New York last week. He
declared that he had been adver
vertising for thirty-tight years andhad
spent between tti, 000, OOOJacd |S, 000, 0(0
in thM way since he bejan, He said in
part:
Let me say at thi outset that huod
reds of millions of dollars are wasted
annually because advertisers don't un
stand advertising as they would if ad
vertising were taught in the schools
and colleges. It is possible to save to
the people millions of dollars yearly
simply by means of judicious adver
tising and at the same time allow the
advertiser to do the same amount of
business. Advertising is something
more than a profession. It is an art.
It's a broad and far reaching profession.
I should say the advertising field is
divided into three classes ? first a
human being with a want; second, a
want filler, who has a desire for money,
and third, the man who gets_ the two
together? the advertising agent.
My life game Is advertising. I play
U for fun, to Ret rid of a constantly in
creasing gain that comes in from other
sources. Unlike every othrr advertiser.
I have nothing to sell. I never had
anything to sell, and I started In to ad
vertise it, and I've been advertising it
right along.
The moit sensible thing Is consis
tency. Be consistent, just as I am Con
sistent. I advertise to my readers in
the morning to buy this or that, and at
night I advertise to sell. But it isn't
my stcck I advertise my readers to buy.
It's the public's. I've gut to keep rigU
with the public, so when I say "bu>"
I say next "sell" so vou see my consis
tency consists in my stickiug to my
Inconsistency, You all know that's
so.
For thirty-eight years I've been ad
vertising nothing and sticking to ir.
In those thirty-eight years 1 hate spent
between and six and ei?ht million dol
lars advertising. It cost me f.'i$o,000
in a very few days work in one batch
of adverlislng.

i A Vancouver paper, In speaking of
the trail which the j>olice are carrying
out from Peace river to Dawson, says
that next year another 400 miles will
be completed, bringing the trail as far
as Atlin from which place, the Van
couver paper says there is a good trail
on to Dawson, via the telegraph line,
Why, a chipmonk would require to
have its tall connected with the tele
graph line with a trolley to follow that
trail. The question is who will use tbo
trail after it is built? For all the trav
el there will be over it the thing will
grow up as thick as ever in a few
ye?rs.? Whitehorse Star.

WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS
Doan'i Kidn?y Pills Huve Done
Great Service for People W h a
Work Jn Alitalia
Most Alaska people work every day
in some strained position? bending con
stantly over a desk ? riding ou jolting
wagons or cars? doing laborious
hou?e work: lifting, teaching
or gulling, or trying
the back in a hundred and one ways.
AH these strains tend to wear, weaken
and injur? the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of filtering the
poisons from the blood . D >an 's Kidney
Pills cure s':ck kidneys, put new
strength in bad backs
W, H. Wood, of 250 Cottage St Sa'.
em, Ore says: "A good many years a jo,
I was badly kicked by a uiule right
over the kidneys and at another time
while digging a well it caved lu on me,
also injuring my baca. Siuce tnen I
have had more or less annoyance
from my kidney*. Change of weather
caused my back to ache nad whon I
worked hard it became so lame that I
could hardly straighten up after stoop
ing. J procured Doan's Ktdnep Pills a<
a drug store and since taking them, al
though I have contluued to work hard
and been exposed to severe weather
not an ache or other symptom pt rav
former trouble remains. This clearly
proves that Doan'v Kidney Pills act up
to the representations mado of them.
I also know of other people who have
derived great benefit from their use. I
am glad to let other? know the merits
of Doan's Kidney Pills for backache
and kidney trouble."

MAKING GOOD
HEADWAY
Excellent pi egress i? being made on
the rallrot d spur to tho mines, and the
graders are following hard on the heels
of the rlghi of way gang whloh Is carv
ing out a pathway through the virgin
; forest, says the Whitehorse Star.
Fifteen n^n under Curly Mcintosh
are clearing the rgbtof way, and be
hind them is the *team stump pallor
that keeps tho atmo.*pheu> In its local:
ity full of stumps. In fact, it is said
that the machine will stump a track 5O
feet wide and a mile long in a day.
Following the stumping machine is
the grading gang with eight or ten
teams engaged In plowing and scraping
and putting the roadbed in condition
for the laying of ties for the raits.
The work will continue just as loug
a:>ihcg(.o\ weather holds out, and as
yet there are no signs of a change. The
present conditions are very favorable to
outside worlf, ns now thrre are no Hies
or mosqu :yw to bother the men.
The spur will be completed to the
mines early in the spring, and ore ^hip
ping will then be carried on In a big
scale.
