POLITICAL PARTIES AND I
ISSUES
At Spokane ibey had a city election
the pother day where the Democrats
espoused the the cause of the "wide
open" element and the Republicans
represented the so-called ''better"
element of the voters. Down at Port
land they have a municipal oampaign
on now where the positions of the
parties are reversed? the Democrats
proclaiming themselves adherents of
"law and order" and the Republicans
championing a "liberal" policy. In
other towns the parties rotate. One
year the Democrats will be for a
"clean'' towo aod the Republicans for
a "wide-open" (own, and the next year
the Kepub ican? will champion the
cause of the "clean*" and the Demo
crats thiiof the "liberals"
And there you are. Parly names are
coming to mean very little these days.
It t* up to the individual voter to look
Into tue issues involved in each cam
palgn and to vote as his judgment and
conscience dictates. Let that course
be followed for a few years and the
parties will become aligned on issues
In such a way that they will mean
sometaing more than a passion for suc
cess.
If every elector would use his vote
and influence to make his party right
at the primaries, if possible, but if
failing to right Its wrongs at the polls.
It wou.d sjon be discovered by the
"party managers" that it were not
worth while to count upon the
"strai/hi" party vote, irrespective of
the issues, if they temper their plat
form to cjtch those who are selfishly
h ter.stcd in govermental policies.

It much like other people. He thought
President R-iusevelt ti bully fellow uo.
til he refused a persooal request: now
he is a "big stiff." This way of meas
uring statesmen by the strength of
one's pull with them is is too
generally io use.
Former Senator J. C. S. Blackburn,
of Kentucky, recently appointed to be
governor of the Panama canal zone and
member of the Panama cans] com mis
lion, has arrived on the ground and as
sumed charge of things. His salary is
114,000 per year? almost three times
the amount he received as a senator
from the blue Grass state.
It is Claimed that Attorney Senkler,
formerly connected with the govern
ment service at Dawson, now practic
ing law at Vancouver, B C., has been
offered and refused ths Yukon gover
norship.
The Roosevtlt-Uughes quarrel has
added an unexpected complioatirn to
the political stuatioo, and one that
makes figuring harder than ever to
po.uiciaos.

Basebai'ists and Hose Rac
ers Called Oat
Manager J. M. Tanner, of the Skag
way base'iaft team and o I the hose cart
teams, has requested all the ball play,
era and racers to appear on the baseball
ground this evening at 7 o'clock (or tue
purpose of practicing. It is the pur
pose to keep the athletes at work at ev
ery spare moment until the meet at
Whitehorse a week from next Satur
day.
Skagway baseball players have had
almost no practice tbis year and the
team has been weakened by the depar
ture of two or three of its strong men.
This is given as one of the reasons why
there should be more strenuous work
put Into the practice than ever before
has been done. It Is also pointed out
that Whitehorse and Juneau are ar
ranging strong teams for the summer
and that if Skagway desires to maintain
her supremacy in Northern baseball it
is time to get busy.
Judge Tanner things he will be able
to organize a winning hose team.

in anything but good shape and a lay
up of three hours was occasioned, but
the last 20 miles of tbe trip were made
in the good time of three hours.

WHY SO WEAK?
Kidney Trouble* May ba Sapping
, Yonr Lift Away
When a healthy man or woman be
gins to run down without apparent
caus?, becom~s weak, languid, depressed
suffers backach* dizzy spells and
urinary disorders, look to the kidneys
for the cause of it all. Keep the kidneys
well and they will keep you well. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
keep them well.
Jas. Vandervere, motorman O E. Ry.,
living on Central St., corner Second St.t
Olympia, Wash., says: "Just about
two years ago, I learned about Doan's
Kidney Pills, I was troubled a great
deal with backache at the ime. At in
tervals, the pain was severe and at
other times, a steady dull aching.
Whether it was my work or colds or
both that caused the derangement, I do
aot know, but what I do know, is that
Doan's Kidney Pills quickly relieved
and eradicated the complaint, stopped
the aching completely and strengthened
my back so that I could lift, stoop or
brine any of the back muscles into play
without the slightest twinge. I consider
Doan's Kidney Pills unsurpassable-.''
