WHAT IS II NEWSPAPER ?
A newspaper Is the thing which
every person in town knows how to run
except the editor. It is what should be
aa oven for "roasts" on every one ex
cept himself, members of your family
and a few of your particular friends, for
whom it should be a sweet scented bou
quet of praise.
It is a promoter of profanity if it is
not on the front porch when vou get
home in the evening and what you tell
the man who works on it isn't fit to go
into a decent person's home.
It is what the young man who bor
rows it from the saloon bar "kicks"
about beoause it contains only a little
sporting "dope'' and which the woman
tells her neighbor when she lukos it
back is not worth subscribing for bo
caute it has nothing nice about her
daughter.
It is what the merchant threatens to
pull h's ad. out of because he cannot
have the run of the paper and what the
old subscriber declares is going to the
t>ad V ecause it is getting so that noth
ing but advertising can get a position
in it any more.
It is what you want to sec the editor
to keep your name out of as soon as
you bave gotten into trouble and to get
your name into as soon as you think
you should be limelighted.
It Is what is just too horrid and in
qusitive for anything, and "please keep
my name out" when you are asked
about the bridge whist club, and which
is the mean old sheet that never gets
anything right when your name Is
omitted from "among those present."
It Is what no one ever forgets to con
demn for its mistakes and never re
members to praiae for (he good it ac
cornp i sites.
It Is a subsidized organ when it fails
to tell about the corporations' law vio
lations and a libelous yellow rag when
it reports outrages committed bv them.
It is what is difficult to print so as to
suit anybody and which would be noth
ing but pages of blank white paper
with a heading if it were published so
as to soit everybody.
MAY HE FINISH WELL
All honor is due Frank Young, the
man connected with the Valdez Home
railroad, wbo filed charges against
Governor Hoggatt for his usurpation of
powjr in the chaotic state existing at
Valdez. When complications like the
affair to the westward arise, a tactful,
honest and impartial guiding l'.and is
necessary to sepernte the tangled con
ditions that business hate and rivalry
have woven together ? dispassionate
investigation of the merits of both
contending sides alone can pioduce re
sults. As was to be expected, unfor
tunately, however, Governor Hoggatt
took the side of the powerful interest?
the Guggenheims? and sa-v but one
side of the fight. More business
were thus brought about. All Alas
kans will wish Frank Young well and,
should he be successful in obtaining the
removal of the tin soldier Governor,
Frank Young will, long after Governor
Hoggatt has been forgotten, be remem
bered as the man who did Alaska her
greatest good.
A WISE RESOLUTION
The Herald believes that the action
of the Republican caucus in indorsing
the principle of home rule for Alaska,
In a resolution w hlch was not so vague
as to its intent, is along right lines.
That the great majo'ity of the Repub
licans of Alaska favor territorial gov
ernment will not be seriously disputed.
The opposition to it comes not Irom the
rank and file of the party, but from the
official class; not as a unit, Lowever,
for a distinguished member of the ju
diciary, at leant ia outspoken in his
advocacy of home rule for tbe people of
the district.
It takes time to bring about reforms
and to establish innovations, especially
in ^overnmeat, and this is one of the
reasons that the Herald advocates aud
ihc hniuf rule idea. It is not
too early, as some urge, to prepare for
territorial garments. Bt the time we
shall receive them we will be
quite prepared to wear the raiment
with becoming dignity and with credit
to the past great sisterhood of territor
ies, now bright particular stars in the
union of States, to which in the not
distant future will be added Alaska.?

THE WAY IT ENDS
Matching his own remedy against h
patent cure for the liquor habit, W. A.
Warden, whose home was in Portland,
won his fight In the end. In his earlier
years of drinking, like every other one,
he boasted of his ability to drink or
"leave it alone." Still he mostly
drank? drank because he liked it, and
did not leave it alone Decsuse he knew
that he could do so if he desired.
What was the need ? He was no weak
ling like the other fellows who could
not stop, And so his thirst grew apace,
and he sought to quench it with all bis
earnings through years of toil, end
finally, nearing the half century marl;
a "broken man, he found he must drink
and could not let it aiona. Plans,
struggles, contest of will, drugs, rem
edies and every method suggested to
break the tyranny of the drink habit,
were tried and the battle ever los'/
One last receipt was secured and tried.
It failed. Then he resorted to a des
perate remedy of his own choosing. It
worked parfectly. He had proven his
earlier faith that be could "drink or
leave it alono." Hereafter he would
leave it alone. The last written re
ceipt that failed they found in his pock
et. His own remedy, a terrible one,
but one oft tried, lay revealed by the
bottle lying beside him on the Hoc- ,
reading ''Carbolic Acid." Oje last
firry draught of which "had quenched
his thirst forever.
FATE'S IRONY
By one of the curious iro. ies and
contrasts of fate, the very dt-.i upon
which the great Dupont Po*dei V orl??
at Fontanel, led., blew up, killing uoui
100 to 100 people, injuring about (MX) and
wrecking nearly the whok* town, the
marriage of Alfred I. Dupont de Ne
mours, vice-president of the Dupoi t
Powder company of Delaware to ills
second cousin was being celebrated.
Seldom has circumstances afforded such
a tremendous contrast, even temporari
ly, between employed and the employ
er. No retlecticn against the Duponts
arises from this unfortunate circum
stance. however, as even all new9 of
the fearful disaster was kept from the
groom and his brother until after the
wedding, as it was believtd otherwise
the ceremony would be postponed aod
the brothers start po9t haste to the des
olated Indiana town.
In explanation of her husband's suit
for divorce a prominent woman of
Lowel1, Mas.*., states that her husband
was a model man, but?that they marri
ed young and were mismated. Pos
sibly if he had been * something
less than a model man she would have
found him more of a model husband.
Apparently from her explanation lie
was almost too perfect for her to take
any interest in.
THE COMMONPLACE LIONS.
(When Mark Twain met Bernard
Shaw in London be said: "I like bis
face." Shaw said: "I've read all his
book9.")
When great wits meet, the common
h?rd doth (lock to hear the jest
To mark the sparkling repartee that
both get otT with /est;
And what, alack? also alas.'? doth real
ly take place ?
Ono murmurs: "I've read all your
stuff." Answer. "I like your
face."
Two statesmen meet, from ends of
earth? reporters crowd about;
They'll solve some deep world problem
here? some vexed theme, no
doubt;
But what do all the breathless heart
when ends the first embrace;
Says Number One: "I've read your
speech." Says Two: ""I like
your face."
And thu9 it goes throughout the world
?'tis disappointing sore
To think that greatness thrives alone?
'roong oibers it's a bore?
The lion when he meets his kind Is ever
commonplace:
Roars Lion Oae: "I've heard your
growls.'1 Roars Two: "I like
your f?ce!"

From Skin Disease from Birth Until
Six Years Old ? Father Spent
Fortune on Her Without Benefit
? OIJ Doctor Suggested Cuti
cura, which Cured H'er in Two
Months, Leaving
SKIN SOFT AS A BABY'S
AND WITHOUT A SCAR
" I have a cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once had a skin disease from he?
birth until she was six years of ago.
Her father had spent a fortunoon her
to get her cured and none of the treat
ments did heranygood. Old Dr. G
suggested that he try the Cuticura Rem
edies which ho did. When ho com
menced to use it t ho child was almost in a
solid scab. He had used it about two
months and the child was well. I was
there when they commenced tousoyour
Cuticura Remedies. I stayed that week
and then returned homo andstayedtwo
weeks and then went back and stayed
with them U o weeks longer and when
I went home I could hardly believe sho
was tho same child. Her skin was as
soft as a baby's without a scar on it. I
have not seen her in seventeen years but
I have hcrird from her and the last time
I heard fi Jin her she was well. That is
whero I became acquainted with Cuti
cura. I hope this may be of some ser
vicato you in tho future. Mrs. W. P.
Ingle, Burlington, N. C., Juno 16, 1905."
