WHERE ADVERTISING WOULD
PAY.
Every man, woman and child that
passes through Skagway on the way
inside or bound for below must nec
essarily spend some dollars in this
town. The more people we get the
more money is left in the town. This
being mo. it is an incontrovertable
fact that it would pay ? pay In dollars
and cents ? for the merchants and
business men of Skagway to back
any movement which might be the
means of inducing any material num
ber of men to pass through Skagway
A new placer gold district has been
found In Alaska. The Idltarod is rap
idly becoming heralded as the com
ing camp of the north. Expert auth
orities state that twenty thousand
men will rush to the Idltarod dig
gings nex* spring.
WHICH WAY WILL THEY GO?
Will they come through Skagway
and go down the Yukon river? Or
wiil they mush overland from Seward
and Valdez?
It seems to be the general opinion
that the river route will be the
cheapest, easiest, safest and most ex
peditious.
WHY .VOT ADVERTISE THE
PACT?
Most of the twenty thousand people
who are expected to head for the
goldeo sands of the Idltarod will be
newcomers in Alaska. They will eag
erly seek information as to the best
way of reaching their mecca. Any in
formation that they could reach the
Idltarod via Skagway and the Yukon
river quicker, at less expense of mon
ey and toil than by other routes
would undoubtedly Induce hundreds cfl
them, now undecided, to come this
way.
The Commercial club of Seward is
boosting the overland route from that
town. It is up to the people of Skag
*ay to get Into the game. It's a case
of dollars and cents, gentlemen.
A SUGGESTION TO BE HEEOED.
The suggestion made by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor that on the
Sunday preceding Labor day all pas
ton devote their sermons to the
discussion oX labor problems is one
that might be well heeded by the
clergy of the country.
All over the country clergymen are
asking "Why meu stay away from
church?"
There are many contributary caus
es, *he chief one being the undeniable
fact that in most churches there is
a lack of human interest in the top
ics of the sermons. The church Is
improving in this respect. Today,
more than in the psu?t, do ministers
take up the topics of the day. But
there is still a gulf to be bridged be
tween treatment of abstract morality
and concrete conduct before the aver
age man will look to the church for
practical guidance.
If the churches would deal more
with the vital, burning issues of the
day, more men would attend church
and more men would tend themselves
to an ifflueoce which had power to
shape tie trend of their fives.
The problems of labor are questions
that concern every man who works
for a daily wage. They are questions
that shoukt concern every man, wheth
er or not he works. When men are
hippy th?y ire usually receptive to
good and moral impulses. Men who
are unhappy in the inverse ratio are
more or less ready for conspiracy
and crime, Anything that will break
the monotony of existence and stifle
recollection for a few hours. Most of
our waking hours are spent in work.
I* is the mature and the. uiuutier of
performance of this work which de
cides whether our days are to he hap
py, or whether we toil In indifference
and despair.
In the main, morality is more of an
effect than a cause. If organized re
liglou would wield a greater power in
the world of active men it should
deal with tho questions that most
concern men. The suggestion of the
American Federation of Labor opens
a way to an avenue that will do more
to increase the power of the church
and tho clergy, in our opinion, than
any other means that can be selected.
Whenever a football player is kill
ed a hue and cry goes up about ab
olishing football. Carefully kept sta
tistics prove that baseball .horse
back riding, yachting and canoeing
claim more victims each year than
doeti football. Football is a rough
game. It should not be played by
weaklings. Its so called brutality,
however, is greatly exaggerated, ?
usually by people who have little or
no understanding of the game and
know not of what they speak.
If it is true that the managers of
the mine at Cherry, 111., where the
fire damp explosion took place last
Sunday, sealed the tunnel openings
so that the mine would not bo wholly
destroyed by flro and thereby end
ed any chance that several hundred
mon may have had of escaping alive
from this raging inferno, ? then these
men should be prosecuted to the ful
lest extent of the law. .Most coal
mines are carelessly conducted, but
this sort of thing is criminal beyond
expression.
Public opinion in the States is
slowly deciding against Cook and in
favor of Peary. Alaskans called the
turn on Cook from the start. His al
leged climb of Mt. McKlnley proved
to be his Waterloo.
It's easy to win with good hands.
Success in the game of life comes to
him who plays a poor hand best.
For we brought nothing into this
world and It is certain that we can
carry nothing out. ? Timothy, 6 ? 7.

I feJt weak and depressed and often
arose 'n the morning so lame an<l
stiff that I was hardly able to do
my housework. There was a bear ;
ing-down sensation through my hips
and loins and at times I suffered so
intensely that I was forced to lie
down. The kidney secretions werel
unnatural and gave me much annoy
ance. I finally learned of Doan's Kid-'

commend the remedy highly."
