THE LOCAL PAPER
Wesley A. Sunder, managing ad
vertiser ot the Office Outfitter, Chi
cago, recently made an address betore
? body of retailers In which he called
attention to the value of the local news
paper. He said in part:
"Tne local newspaper Is the greatest
thing the retailor has If he will use It
right, but . l*rga proportion are too
pioau to believe that the editor will
t?ke care of their interests whether
the* look after his or not. This is
wrong. If merchants as a class would
only take advantage of their opportu
nities that the local newspapers afford
them they would reap rewards far be
yond their foudest dreams.
"While self-preservation is the first
law of nature, editors of local papers
have a habit of letting self-Interest go
to the limit when It comes to a question
of serving the community. For this
they are entitled to recognition, which
they rarely receive.
"No doubt the retailers have en
couraged them .s far as sentiment goes.
They have undoubtedly said that they
approve of the editor's methods aud
called him a "good boy," but in how
mmy cases have they fallen short In
their real encouragement that counts i
How often have thev neglected to use
hi, columns thinking they were clever
In It?
"In falling to patronize him they have
killed the goose that laid the golden
'"you must get behind your local
editor and push for all you are worth,
tie gives you *2 back for every dollar
invest with him. He furnishes
loryou. at his own expense, one ot the
biggest assets you possess, the medium
through which you let the people know
what you have to sell. Through recent
years the mall order proposition ha.
been somewhat bothersome. The ed
itors of the country have done more
than -11 others combined to win busi
ness back into normal channels a?d
to reconvert the farmer and general
consumer to the logical belief la home
tradiBg.
"The country editor refuses to tane
profits from your enemy even when the
roemv will pay more than you will.
He refuses to accept business from the
mall order store la the distant city and
even goes further by telling how supe
rior the local store is to the distant one
and dtttailes tho advantages of buying
at home.
??Do not let It be said of your com
munity that you have let your editor's
work go unappreciated. Use his paper.
Make him prosperous and yourself rich :
by doing so. If you have foolish ideas
about* the nooproductiveness of news
paper advertisidg, throw them off and
try it out. One try will prove nothing.
If its successful, so much the better,
but the constant use of the paper
In an intelligent manner will produce
the results.
"The bent friend any business man in
the world has, next to his wife, is the
lo?l newspaper, and if he doeen't get
lull value for his friendship It Is his
fault, not the editor's. The editor of
the average so-called country paper has
done more to upbuild his town and
retailers In It than all other Influ
ences combined, and It also follows
that as an honest and unbroken rule
he is the least appreciated person In
the community."
In conclusion Mr. Stanger said that
tho country newspaper man does not
ask for charity, but sunds readyJX)

There is no troth In the report that
the new delegate already has the Jun
eau "capital" on wheels ready for mov
ing: it to Valdez or Cordova, so the Re
cord can lav down the ghost of its o<vn
rising. If he could do so it would not
be likely that he would thus reward
that paper for Its strenuous and suc
cessful effort to give him a majority
over all in its own home town. He is
rather under grateful obligations to the
people of Juneau, whatever he considers
the just debt he owes to the Record?
Ketchikan Miner.
The name of Guggenheim was used
by Fairbanks newspapers as a weapon
against Wickershain. Pre-election
Issues of the News and Times just at
hand charge him with being a "Gug
genheim* man." It must be llattorioj:
to the Guggenhaims that their own
papers use their names in the form ol
a standing offense to the people? at
taching It to their enemy as the surest
menns of securing that enemy's defeat.
If none were aick and none were sad,
What service would you rendor?
I think if we were always glad.
We scarcely could be tender.
Did one beloved never need
Our patient ministration,
Earth will grow cold and miss, indeed,
Its sweetest consolation:
[f sorrow never claimed one heart,
And every wish were granted,
Patience would die, and hope tie part
Life would be disenchanted.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Henl<h is Worth Saving and Soma
AUtk* Pcojilo Kuow How to Save It.
Many Alaska people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsi
ble fur a vast amount of suffering and
ill health, but there is no need to suf
fer nor to remain in danger wben ail
diseases and aches and paines due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Dean's
Kidney Pitts.
P. Lamraeh, 121 North Terry Ave.
Seattle, Wash., says: "It is now tbrer
years since I gave a testimonial reoora
mending Doan's Kidoev Pills after the
prompt and satisfactory manner in
which this remedy had relieved me of
kidney trouble which had affected me
off and on for a nnmbsr of years. Just
prior tn using Doan's Kidney Pills, my
suffering had become more severe, and
one day I wue taken suddenly with at
tacks of sharp pains through my loins
and bladder. I sent for a doctor who
Onallv used a catheter. This gave me
ureal relief at the time but still I had
trouble afterwards with Irritation of
the bladder and with the disordered
action of my kidneys. I bee an using
Doan's Kidney Pills and they acted
very promptly and directly on tho parts
affected, so that the bladder trouble dis
appeared and In other way I found great
realief. This was several years ago but
still lama hearty advocate of Doan's
Kiducy Pills and recommend them to
all sufferers ftom Kidney trouble."
