A BIT OF PRIVATE INFORMATION FORI
THE JUNEAU RECORD-UNO ?Nf|
OTHER INTERESTED
Tbe Juneau Record if greatly con
corned about the sum The Alaskan re
ceived for the advertising recently ap
pearing in its columns of the Corson
platform ? repeating the question over
and over in almost every issue. It
seems a shame to allow the boy sleuth
to worry so and, although it is a most
impertinent question, an unheard of
thiug among real newspapers for one to
ask another for information as to Its ad
vertising contracts, The Alaskan will
take cognizance of tho matter sufficient
to say that there was no cutting of
rates in the matter and that what it
charged it received which, it is report
ed, is more than did the Juneau Record.
It is perfectly well known that Mr.
Corson repudiated his obligation ? such
as it was, for althoufh it accomplished
nothing the Record did all it knew how
to do in his behalf? to that paper. It
is perfectly well understood that Mr.
Corson left the Juneau bills to Gover
nor Hoggatt to pay. declaring, when he
saw how things were going, that "since
he is dragging me down, he can pay the
bills in his home to?u. for I won't."
Under such circumstances it is readily
understood how the Record might be
slaeplessly anxious to Know "how much
The Alaskan received."
And the occasion might as well be
taken to s?y that if Governor U?'CC?tt
wishes at any time to avail himself of
tho wide circulation of the Daily Alas
kan among intelligent thinking people,
to present, in the advertising columns
of this journal, what claims he
may think his newspaper, the Daily
Record, ihas for consideration among
such i-lass, and Governor Hoggatt
will pay the price, the Alaskan now
a?sures him columns aro open to
him as freely as to any other advertiser.
But, also, the Alaskan will here warn
him, that it will not lor so much as a
single issue cease to advise iu readers of
how the Record is utterly unreliable,
untrustworthy and. as it itself said of
the enemies of Ju>lge Wickeraham
"capable of resorting to any means
whatever," of accomplishing iu end.
If he wishes to advertise on these terms
?it is up to him.
The advertising columns of the Alas
kan?any reputable newspaper? are
like a street car, as free to one as anoth
er. All that is necessary Is that you
pay fare and behave. And again, the
Alaskan, like a street car, whether you
ride or not, goes its way. It is one of
the advantages of a newspaper with
CHARACTER.
A man's life is full ?f crosses and
temptations. He comes into this world
without his consent and goes out against
his will, and the trip between the two
is exceedingly rocky. The rule of con
traries is one of the features of the trip.
When be is little the big girls kiss him,
whan he is grown the little girls kiss
him, if he is poor he ii bad manager, if
he is rich he is dishonest. If he needs
credit he can't get it. If he is prosper
ous every one wants to do him a favor.
If he is in polities it's for the pie if he
is out of politics you can't find a place
for him, ami he is no good for bis
country.
If he doesn't give to charity he is a
stingy cuss. If he does it's for show. If
bo is actively religious he Is a hypo

THE RIGHT SPIRIT
The result of the delegate election of
last week should carry conviction on at
least two points? that the people of
Alaska are in favor of a territorial form
of government, and that they desire to
see no Interference witli their repre
sentative at Washington.
Let those peoplo who believe that Al
aska should have ten itorial government
stand by the man they have elected.
With the people at his back congress
will listen to him. The efforts of a few
discredited newspapers to cast doubts
upon his intentions will avail nothing.
Though of an opposing political faith,
the Transcript believes the only way to
accomplish anything for Alaska is to
stand by its representative in congress,
and this it will do to the best of its
ability. It believes that every Alaskan
who has Alaska's good at heart will do
the same.? Juneau Transcript.
WRANGELi. VOTED RIGHT
The reports that came to Skagway on
the day following the election credited
Wickersham with 2V and Chilbirg with
31 at Wrangell. The editor of the
Wrangell Sentinel writes The Alaskan
declaring that the publication of those
figures "did Wrangell a terrible injus
tice" since it gave the plurality in the
vote there to another thau Wicker
sham, He says the vote for Wicker
sham was 29, all right, but that it was
the highest vote cast. The next high
est vote cast was for Cordon, 22; ltouan,
IS, -and Chilberg, instead of leading the
procession, was last, receiving but 10.
The correction is n ade with pleasure,
paying tribute to the discernment of the
people of that town as it docs, and that
withcul wishing to reflect upon Mr.
Chilberg.
THE LAST SUMMONS
[The government has arranged to throw
eight Indian reservations open to
public settlement within a vear.]
'Tis so we have been crowded from
plains we called our own.
From lands white-crowned with
mountains, whose trail's we
knew alone:
But why should wo make protest, with
hope and courage gone?
'Tis one more step, O brethern ami
then Oblivion.
And better Kindly silence, in scattered,
lonely graves,
Than life wherein no lodge-fires light
faces of our braves;
No more our circled tepees are mirror
ed in the stream,
And why, then, should wo lingor, and
seek in vain their gleam V
So open wide the portals, nor seek to
stem the tide;
Grant every claim upon us? let nb
thing be denied:
The poisoned smoke of commerce is on
the wind's pure breath:
What should the Indian hope for, out
freedom founu in death ?

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Hatlth <? Worth Saving; anil Some
Aluiliit People Know How to Save It.
Many Alaska people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsi
ble for a vast amount of sulTerlng and
ill health, but then.' is no ueed to su'
fer nor to remain in danger when all
diseases and aches ami psines due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Dean's
Kidney 1 'ills.
P. Lammeh. 121 North Terry Ave.
Seattle, Wash., says: "Ills now three
years since I gave a nfftlimoulal recom
mending Doan's Kldnev Pills after the
prompt and satisfactory manner in
which this remedy had relieved me of
kidney trouble which had affected me
oil aud on for a number of years. Just
prior tn using Doau's Kidney Pills, my
sulTerlng had become moro severe, i?nd
ono day 1 wus taken suddenly with at
tacks of sharp pains through my loins
and bladder. 1 sent for a doctor who
linallv used a catheter. This gave me
t;r?at relief at the time but still 1 had
trouble afterward* with Irritation of
the bladder aud with the disordered
action of my kidneys. I bee an using
Doan's Kidney Pills and they acted
very promptly and directly on the parts
affected, so that the bladder trouble dis
appeared and In other way I found great
realief This was several years ago but
still I am a hearty advocate of Doan's
Kidney Pills and recommend thorn to
all sufferers from Kidney trouble."
