THE ACME OF ABSURDITY
The ghost of some Kip Van Winkle
must be inspiring the political editor of
the Juneau Record-Miner. Tn a recent
issue he says the time is at hand when
the Alaskan newspapers should become
partisan and advocate the cause of one
or the other of the political organiza
tions of the land. In the course of a
long and hazy argument in justification
of this position. It seems to conclude
that a paper without a party is a "par
asite living on what others produce,"
and that if a newspaper is a supporter
of one party or the other, there is
something "responsible" behind Its
utterances.
The fact is, if there is a parasite in
American journalism, it is the party
organ which shapes and fashions its
utterances always having in view the
effect they will have on its party.
There was a time when that was a rule
with American country papers but that
was before the day of which Count
VTitte spoke when he said the United
States is a government by newspapers.
The modern newspaper of influence is
independent of party, and the greater
the independence the greater the in
fluence. The hon9st, courageous,
worthy newspaper is the one which
supports measures and men that it be
lieves to be right and condemns those
that it believes wrong, regardless of
lhe political party its course helps or
hurts.

If the Juneau Record-Miner's po
sition is in the interest of any one it is
in that of the professional politician and
those who would use political organi
zations. If the papers of the district
would line up for this party or that,
they could then be "controlled" by the
political organizations. That would
give the politicians of a party the
"right" to direct the utterances
of the papers of his party and to
say that the words of the paper of the
opposite political faith are for the pur
pose of helping its party and must be
given consideration with that in view.
This is no time for the Alaskan press
to submit to be muzzed by political
organizations. The people of the
States are successfully trying to get
from under the burden of partisanship
and a partisan press, and it" would be
the acme of aosurdity for the people of
Alaska, who have no opportunity to
exert any influence upon the tariff and
the other so-called political questions
or upon the success in the nation of
any political party, voluntarily to as
sume such a load,
No. Let the Alaskan papers be free
and untrammeled. Let them carry no
unnecessary dead weight. Let them
concern themselves with the questions
that are alive. Let them stand "for
the right that needs assistance," and
' 'against the wrong that needs resist
ance," permitting the politicians to
care for themselves. By that means
they can exist for a purpose that is
worth whiie.
If Bryan should become a president
ial candidate again just watch the edi
torial pages of those party papers
which said so many nice things about
him two years ago when they were
comparing him with Parker, the con
servative nominee of that year, to the
latter's disadvantage. Some of them
have begun to crawfish already.
It Is Duiguosi to Nejclect a cold
How often do we hear it remarked:
"It's only a cold," and a few days later
learn that the man is on his back with
pneumonia. That is of sucQ common
occurrence that a cold, however slight,
should not be disregarded. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy counteracts any
tendency of a cold to result in pneu
monia. and has gaiued its great popular
ity and extensive sale by its prompt
cures of this most common ailment. It
always cures and is pleasant to take.

LOOKS GOOD
John Kalem Thinks Well of
Skagway
The outlook for Skagway was never
better than it is at the present time
according to the opinion of John Kalem,
the pioneer grocer. So good does it
look to Mr. Kalem, that he will remain
here and devote his personal attention
to his Skagway business. Mr. Kalem
thinss the development of the Windy
Arm country will give Skagway all the
business that it has lost on account of
the deorease in the population of the
Klondike.
Said Mr. Kalem:
"Skagway is one of the best little
cities in the north and its prospects for
future greatness are excellent. The
hundreds of people that are coming in
to the Windy Arm country mean busi
ness for Skagway- I am here to stay
stay and I expect to give my persona
attention to my business here."
Mr. Kalem will enlarge his store and
carry a larger stock of goods than ever.
Mr. Kalem has not abandoned his
wholesale business with the interior
but will ship more goods this year than
ever he has, The business will be
handled from Skagway. He will give
particular attention to the American
Y ukon trade at Fairbanks and other
points on the Alaskan side of the boun
dary.

The regular weekly prayer meeting

HOUSEHOLD CARES
Tszlhg Woman of Alaika the Same
as Elsewhere
Hard to attend to household duties
with a constantly aching back.
A woman should not have a bad back,
And she woundn't if the kidneys were
well.
Doan's Kidney Pills make well
kidneys.
Here is a woman who endorses this
claim:
Mrs. Charles Wetmore.of 2518, William
street, Bellingham, Wash., says: "I
had attacks of kidney complaints at
various times for several years, indicat
ed by backache, difficulty "with the kid
ney secretions, pain and soreness across
the kidneys and weariness and laoguor.
I could not get proper or necessary sleep '
at night. My strength seemed in
sufficient to perform the oidinaiy house
hold duties without distress and in
other ways when suffering from these
spells my health was in a bad condition.
1 bad an attack some time ago, and
knowing of the merits of Doan's Kid
ney Pills I send for a box The pills
stopped the back ache almost immediate
ly and soon correctected the action of
the kidney secretions. My health was
greatly improved and I have no hesita
tion in recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills for any complaint similar to those
which afflicted me.''
