THE CASE OF SITKA AND GOV.
HOGG ATT
There is nothing strange about the
(act that the people of Sitka cave Gov.
Hoggatt a royal welcome on the oc
casion of his recent visit to that place.
The citizens of Sitka, like those else
where in Alaska, are broad minded
Americans and Mr. Hoggatt is their
governor, and we all believe that be
will make a very worthy one- The
only bone of contention between the
people of Sitka and Gov. Hoggatt is in
relation to the latter's intention to
remove the capital to Juneau, and the
difference in the attitude on that point
is one that is creditable to both sides to
the controversy.
Of course the people of Sitka desire
to retain the capital of the district.
That is natural and a manifestation of
decent local pride. But they can read
ily understand why Gov. Hoggatt
should decide, as he has decided, to re
move it to Juneau. Congress has voted
for removal ones, and there can be no
questioning the fact that the majority
of the people of Alaska regard Juneau
as the most suitable place for the capi
tal at the present time, at least .
Sitka is fighting for herself in a li
gitimate manner and on a ligitimate '
battlefield when contending for the j
retention of the capital, while Gov. ,
Hoggatt, in removing it to Juneau, is <
making effective a law of congress and
complying with the wishes of a major
ity of the people whom he serves.
They understand each other, perfectly
and have no quarrel.

LET US HAVE CAHDOR
Some of the other candidates for del
egate to congress from Alaska could
take lessons from A. F. Wildt, of Skag- 1
way, and improve their positions be- (
fore the people < ~he district |
by so doing. When Mr. Wildt an- |
nounced his candidacy for delegate he '
accompanied the announcement with '
his platform. That was honest ? it was <
a display of that kind of honesty that s
the people should demand (one thai, <
they will unquestionably demand if (
they are wise) from the man for whom \
they will voce. WE DO NOT WANT |
A REPRESENTATIVE AT WASH- '
TON WHO IS WILLING TO BE A '
CANDIDATE FOR DELEGATE ON J
ANY PLATFORM HIS PARTY OR ,
FRIENDS MIGHT SEE FIT TO j
MAKE *OR HIM. WE WANT A ,
MAN OF CONVICTIONS AND
WITH THE COURAGE TO DO ,
BATTLE FOR THEM. This is not a '
i
propitious age for practical polititics, <
or for obsequious politicians, whose '
chief interest in politics is a desire to i
enjoy the powers and emoluments of a
responsible and lucrative office: and
above all countries Alaska is not a place
for such to thrive in.
The longer a candidate for delegate
to congress delays telling the people
what will be his position on the PARA
MOUNT ISSUE BEFORE THE
ALASKAN PEOPLE, WHICH
EVERYBODY KNOWS TO BE THE
QUE9TION OF REPUBLICAN
FORM OF GOVERNMENT, the
greater will his candidacy be laden
with suspicion.
LET US HAVE SOME ROOSE
TELTAN CANDOR. LET THE CAN
DIDATES FOR CONGRESS TAKE
PEOPLE INTO THEIR CONFI
DENCES. LET US DEMAND THAT
MUCH IT IS OUR RIGHT.
Former Senator William A. Harm,
of Kansas has accepted the democratic
nomination for governor against E. W.
Hoch, the Standard Oil fighter. Kan
sas will have a good governor as both
are good and able men.

The delegate from Alaska muse be
chosen on account of WHAT HE
STANDS FOR, and not because he Is a
good-fellow, or some good-fellow's
good friend. The people should DE-j
M AND before they give any consider
ation whatever to the oandidacy of any
man to be their representative TO
KNOW WHAT HIS CANDIDACY
STANDS FOR. No man has a right
to take offense at such a demand. No
honest man will.

WORKS WONDERS
A Wonderful Compound Cure* Piles.
Ecaema. Skin Itching, Skin
Eruptions. Cuts and Bruises.
Doan's Ointment is the best skin
treatment, and the cheapest, because so
little is required to cure. It cures piles
jfter years of torture. It cures oDsti
aate cases of eczema. It cures all skin
itching. It cures skin eruptions. It
tteals cuts, bruises, scratches and abra
sions without leaving a scar. It cures
permanently.
M. Sullivan, employed in the street
iepartment of the city, who resides on
Water street, at 73?, Portland Oreg.,
iay?: ''Doan's Ointment is without-any
exception the best preparation on earth
'or the puposes for which its use is indi
cted and from my own experience I
mow that it does all that is claimed for
it. For two years I was troubled with
;he worst kind of itching and bleeding
hemorrhoids. I tried one remedy after
mother and even sent sent east for a
well known medicine, and was treaded
by physicians, but I got no relief until I
learned about Doan's Ointment. I pro
jured a box and the first application
jave me relief such as i had not exper
ienced for two years, I continued the
treatment for two or three weeks, when
[ was completely cured, and sinces tnen
I have been free from the tormenting
iftliction. Whenever I hear anyone
:omplain of being annoyed with piles 1
never fail to tell them what to do'to get
:ured. I would willingly give f2(J for
j box rather than to suffer one night
like I did before I used Doan's Oint
ment."
