A REMEDY
An Americ an rai'.rord mm of nation- '
al reputation say a the wholesale ]
wracking of trains on thii continent it
due lo an Inadequate patrol system.
Ue says the track walkers are too few 1
and Incompetent. In a recent state
ment this man said that It the railroads
would have capable railroad men of
known reliability and with ample
authority to act in an emergency to
patrol their lines, instead of more
or leas worthless track-walkers, em
ployed in many cases because they will
work for small wages, the number of
aociJents would be reduced 75 per cent.
This railroad man says that instead
of the track walkers being the poorest
paid men in the railroad service they
should be among the best, aad that
they should be recruited from the em
ployees of large experience in road
building and train operation. They
should understand the detai's of con
struction and operation so that they
could detect anything wrong in an
nstant.
Whether this theory would work out
or not is a question for others than lay
men, but it sounds all right.
There will be no a ore mail to arrive
at this place until next Sunday when
the Dolph:n will be due again. The
Humbol t will be in port about midway
in ibis period bat the people are denied
the rght to have mail oj her. Every
other week (be people of Southeastern
Alaska aod the Yukon go without mall
for five days without there being any
necessity for it whatever. The post
office authorities are not doing as well
by Alaska as they should do or as well
as the facilities permit them to do.
William J. Bryan has joined in the
sruaade which demands a higher stan
dard of ethics of the profession. He
agrees with Judge Brewer that a law
yer's duty is to see that a client secures
bis rights Jnder the law and that his
duty ends there. Both of these men
contend that an booorable lawyer should
not aid a client to avoid the law or to
gain privileges which are not his right
under it. A strict enforcement of this
rule would make less business f.,r at
torneys.

What It Mamm
The kidneys are overtaxed;

They tell about it in many aches and
pains ?
Backache, sideacbe, headache,
Early symptons of kidney ill*.
Urinary troubles, diabetes, Bright's

W. K. Mcintosh. of 593 Harrison Ave.
Astoria, Oreg., says: "For vears, off
and on, I suffered a frood deal from a
deranged condition of the kidneys and
lameness and aching across the small of
my back, which annoyed me very much
at my work and made it painful to stoop
over or lift anything. I often thought
I was troubled ?ith gravel, so painful
was the passage of the kidney secret
ions. Doan's Kidney Pills came to my
notice and I procured them at a drug
store. They helped me from the first
and soon relieved the pain and lameness
in my back, corrected and regulated
the kidney secretions, and the lapse of
time since I gave my first statement re
tarding my satisfactory experience with
your remedy, has shown that the bene
fit derived is still of a lasting nature."
