TIME IS UP
It is most pleasing to note ;that the
Filipinos have held their election, or
ganized their local legislature and pass
ed formal resolutions of thanks to the
United States for having guaranteed
them the rights that belong to them.
One of the notable things about this is
that the.v should have not over-looked
the matter of thanks. All that we have
heard about the Filipino hitherto has
not prepared us for this burst of thought
ful politeness.
Hut now that the Filipino has been
looked after by the United States gov
ern!! ent and the machinery for the ex
ercise of his right of self-government
literally foisted uoon him, is it not well
for the American citizens of Alaska to
again call the attention of the govern
rnent to our condition here? a condition |
that has been properly described as the
worst in the civili/ed world. Surely
time is up for some action to be taken.
The election of former Gove . nor Swine
ford will be formal notice in itself to
Washington that the people of Alaska
IX) fee! competent to govern themselves
?despite reports to the contrary ? and
that they demand that right which has
already been accorded to the Filipino.
Governor Swineford, if elected, will
represent all of Alaska and will look
after the interests of every sectiot., as
he can do out of a knowledge of what
those interests require and an ability to
present them well, but the cardinal
plank in his platform now, as it has
t?een for many years, is self-government.
With the kcowledge of that fact curreui
in Washington as here, his election, in
itself, will form a demand by the people.
The opportunity is here and should not
be allowed to pass.
Governor Hoggatt will not appoint
the i"> special local commissioners or
directors for the Alaska-Yukon-l'acitic
exposition until after his return to
Juneau from his tour of the district.
The directors of the exposition provided
for the appointment of these commiss
ioners to be named by the governor
from various points in the territory but
the governor prefers to first visit these
various sections, meet th% men identi
fied with the interests of each and
select from personal knowledge those
who will best perform the duties.
A young woman who undertakes to
run away fi-om her husband and in the
act drop-, bis own handkerchief on the
dock just before the boat sails away is
guilty of inexcusable carelessness and
deserves to be captured by the angry
hustiand and taken back. And ? on the
other hand? that an angry and persu
ing husband should come upon his own
handkerchief on the dock to indicate in
which way the bird had flown is but an
other sign that there is a,-, much melo
drama in real life as upon the stage.
Japan has been watching, studying
and following western ways and modern
methods long enough, she thinks. She
will now take the initiative, and lead a
bit -out westernize the west and be a
little more than modern. While other
nations continue to talk about national
ization of public utilities Japan is
nationalizing. And as it is a business
about which the other nations are timid
they will probably reverse the order
and watch Japan a while.
Harry Thaw at least has the courage
of his conviction. ? Or perhaps,
schooled to a perfect confidence in the
power of money, he is sure there will
be no conviction. Perhaps if it should
come to such unexpected pass that he
be led out on the gallows, be will wish
tbat he had been insane when he tired
that shot.
The railroad builders along the west
coast seem to be having no end ot
trouble in deciding where to begin.
Well that much is settled anvhow,?
Juneau is the capital of Alaska.

Astoria. Oreg., says: "I had been
troubled with a 'weakness of the back
and kidney for a number of years.
There was constant dull aching in the
loins and a numbness of the back, often
extending through the whole muscular
system as far up as the shoulders. Not
only did my back ach but there was a
weakness from the kidney secretions
which was very annoying and disturbed
my rest. I heard about Doan's Kidney
Pills and used them. I found them to
be a great benefit. After the first few
doses I felt better. I know of others
who have used them with the some
good results."
