THREATENS SEAHLE
?The persistent attempt of the Seat
tle Post-Intelligencer to hare the pub^
Here that Governor Hoggatt is recreant
to his duly as governor of Alaska will
yet provoke the business interests of
Alaaka, which Is strongly opposed to
territorial government, ?o strongly ad
vocated by the officious organ, to retal
iate by refusing to give any support to
Seattle's pet scheme to secure a milllou
dollar appropriation from congi ess for
the so-called Alaska K.i position. There
are many Alaskans who believe that
this million dollar* spent directly in
Ala?*a Dy the federal government
would be a far greater ami more direct
benefit to the people of Alaska, than to
exuend it for a tair a thousand tulles
iway.
"Then agaia the people of Alaska
might petition every state legislature
to appropriate no funds for this so-calletl
Alaskan Kxposition for the reason that
they did not think It a good thing for
Seattle.- Certainly the people of Alas
ka have just as good a right to advise
what is good or bad for Seattle as Seat
tle has to advise what is good for Alas
ka. What kind of meat has Seattle
fed upon that she assumes to advise
what kind of government Alaska should
have.
' But there is method in all this mad
ness of the Seattle paper because con
gress will not grant Alaska a home leg
islature. It might be easy enough fur
Seattie to Riplingerize Alaska politi
cally as she has Adaiuized her financial
ly, bat the federal congress is too big a
concern for her to finance.
"it is all well enough to talk about
'tie intelligence and patriotism of the
American cTtizco'. residing in Alaska'
and all such tommy-rot, but the intelli
gence and patriotism of the American
citizen residing in Alaska is not one
whit better than the intelligence and
patriotism of the American citizen re
siding in Seattle, and certainly no one
will deny that the Seattle political
cabal, whose organ i> the Post-fnteili
geocer. has made that city stink politi
cally until the man in the moon holds
hi* nose when that orb passes over El
liott Hay. Ail Alaska understands why
the Post-Intelligencer is ao anxious for
Alaska to have home government." ?

People who are unfamiliar with Alas
ka conditions might well believe that
the power of the governor hire is om
nipotent. The threat in the above arti
cle implies that unless the Post-Iotelll
gencer ceases its efforts in behilf of the
people of Alaska the Hoggatt following
will use from the Seattle Kxposition
the appropriation for the fair. As well
might they threaten to take from the
sua :ts lustre. The reptile press kcowj
that it would be impossible for the Hog
gatt following to get a petition from the
people of Alaska favoring anything
that Hoggatt might do. The only
prayer that would be well signed in
which the name of Hoggatt played any
part would be one asking for his remov
al. The reptile prtsi of Juneau has
b come so used to threatening those
opposed to self-government that in this
instance it attempts to intimidate all
Washington with lis fi.->hwoman abuse
because a Seattle paper makes a plea for
what is Alaska's right.
Yet The Alaskan agrees entirely with
the Record-Miner when it say-- "the
people have as good a right to advise
for Seattje as Seattle has to advise for
Alaska," but the Record-Miner be
longing ^boots, body and breeohes to
the Hoggatt coterie, is not in a position
to know what the people want or may
wish to advise.
aIood argument
Mr. Brown, a Kansas gentleman,
keeps a boarding house it appear?.
Around the table on a recent occasion,
sat bis wife. Mrs. Brown; the village
milliner, Mrs. Andrews; Mr. Black, the
baker; Mr. Jordan, a carpenter: and
Mr. Hadley, a flour, feed and lumber
merchant Mr. Brown took a ten dol
lar bill out of his pocketboolc and
handed it to Mrs. Brown with the re
mark that, there was tea dollar*
toward the twenty that he had promised
her. Mr. Brown then handed tho bill
to Mrs. Andrews, remarking: "That
pays for my new bonnet.'' Mrs. An
drews. in turn, passed it to Mr. Jordan,
saying that it would pa.v for tho car
penter work he had done for her. Mr.
Jordan handed it to Mr. Hadley, re
questing his rectipled bill tor Hour, feed
and lumber. Mr. Hadiey gave the bill
back to Mr. Brown faying: "That pays
ten dollars on my board." Mr. Brown
again passed it to Mrs. Brown saying
that he had now paid her the twenty
'dollars that be had promised her.
She in turn paid it Mr. Black to settle
her bread and pastry account, Mr.
Black handed It hick to Mr. Hadley
requesting credit on his Hour bill and
Mr. Hadley returned the bill to Mr.
Brown, saying that it settled for that
month's board, whereupon Mr. Brown
put it back into his pocket, observing
that he had not supposed that a green
back would go so far.
But supposing that Mrs. Brown had
sent It to a mail order house for her
new bonnet, then the ten dollars
would have gone out of town and never
returned.
The following uncredited, but truth
ful statement deserves a wide circula
tion: "A newspaper imy boom a town
through its edi.orial and news olumns,
but a critical investor lcoUs to the ad
Tertising columns for substantial evi
dence of push and life. To him they
are the thermometers measuring the
intensity of public warmth: they are
the pu'se which indicates the healthy
condition of the collective body of the
people; tbey tell him whether or not
the community is up to the times in
business ui?ttera."? Pointers.

WHEN WILL ALASKA PEOPLE LEARN THE
IMPORTANCE OF IT?
Backache Is only a simple thing at
first;
But when you know 'tis from the kid
neys;
That serious kidney troubles follow;
That diabetes or Bright's disease may
be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the follow
ing experience.
William Bungardner. retired, of 424
Water St., Salem, Oregon., says: "I
speak from personal experience when 1
say that Down's Kidney Pills do all that
is claimed for them in curing kidney
complaint and backache. I have felt the
need of such a remedy for a goo 1 long
while but did not know just what 1
should use. I have found that many
medicines are worthless and that even
physicians' presciiptious do not always
p_ove effective. When I read of Doan's
Kidney Pills, however, I was induced to
procure a supply. The backache and
irregular condition of the kidneys
which had annoyed me, quickly gave
way on begining to use your remedy
and 1 was restored to a condition of
ease and comfort, I can recommend
Doan'd Kidney Pills to anyone in need
of such a medicine.*'
