WHY NOT AN ALASKAN EDITOR
IAL ASSOCIATION?
The newspapers of Alaska do r.ot
pull together well. With few excep
tions the papers of Alaska are lit
favor of home rule, miue inspection,
protection of our fisheries, more lib
? ral lumber laws and et cetera. With
united effort great good could be ac
complished along these lines by the
Alaskan press.
The Alaskan suggests that the
cewspaper men of Alaska form an
editorial association. Not only would
this association tend towards unify
ing the work of tbe Alaskan press,
but Its recommendations would carry
considerable weight both within and i
outside of Alaska. It would result |
!n a higher standard of ethics among
the members of the profession.
In many ways an editorial associa
tion would be to the advantage of
both the individual editors and to
the profession at large. A little
united effort and the editorial asso
nation will become a reality.

BLUE BLOOD.
My sires were strong, heroic men,
who fought on many a crimson field:
and none could better cut a throat,
or batter down a foeman's shield:
and some were knighted by the king,
and went around with golden spurs,
which must have been a nuisance
when they walked among the cockle
burs. Their sires were barons of the
Rhine, who worked a now historic
graft; they held up travelers by
day, and quaffed their sack at night,
and laughed; they always slept upon
the floor, and never shaved or cut
their hair; they pawed their victuals
with their hands, and never heard
ot underwear. Their sires, some cen
turies before, rau naked through the
virgin vales, distinguished from the
other apes because they hadn't any
tails. And they had sires, still
farther back, but that dim past is
veiled to me, and so 1 fear 1 cannot
claim a really flawless pedigree.
? Walt Mason.
The cry of Alaska is being heard.
The sound is reaching the east "as
the voice of one crying in the wilder
ness, prepare ye '.he way" for the
kingdom of self-government is at
band. They have set rulers over us
who have scourged us with lashes.
Our hearts have been troubled and
by the waters of the Yukon we have
sat down and wept. We stuck a
knife into a few of them before we
sat down to weep. We asked for
ioiue-made bread and they gave us a
carpet-bagger. We have made gold
bricks without straw. The voice of
lamentation is now stilled for our
deliverer in congress Is being heard.
The east is taking up our cause and
on all sides the press is heralding
our grievances. The dawn of political
liberty is breaking, and behold! Joy
cometh in the morning. ? Ketchikan
Miner.

GOVERNMENT
FEEDS POOR
Word i'roni Dawson is to the effect
that the government has at last been
compelled to open free soup houses
at that place for the relief of the
many new arrivals that have been
disappointed in securing work and
who are without means. The Salva
tion Army has charge of the distri
bution of food but the government
pays the bills. Governor Henderson
lias appealed to Ottawa for aid in
the matter. It is thought the gov
ernment will be called upon to ship
many of the destitute men out of
the country. ? Whitehorse Star.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
! through the kidneys once every thre
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work nigt and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
! ttr is left in the blood. This brings
ou many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
| bearing, dizziuess irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But If you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives me
pleasure to confirm the statement I
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief 1 obtained from their use
has proven permanent I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though I used remedy after
remedy, I, was unable to find relief.
1 had the most severe pains across
the small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Fills helped me at once aud continue
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan'r Kidney Pills
and have recommended them on
many occasions."
