UNCLE SAM'S LINERS.
Not ships, you must understand.
That subsidy Question still calls for a
great deal of debating before the title
of this article will mean anything to
those who are Interested especially
in the merchant marine. What we
mean by "Uncle Sam's Liners" is the
sort that is put on the "want ad"
pases.
The government has made this an
nouncement from Washington in re
ganl to the securing of recruits for
the navy: "The only method of se
curing applicants which the service
finds more effective than the colored
poster is the newspaper want ad."
Here we have testimony from the
very highest authority. Our govern
ment has tried putting out pretty pic
ture? on the fences to attract young
men into military service, and has
found the returns insufficient. It
icok a little "liner" to do the busiues
People who want to work, read that
page, word for word. People who
want people to work for them don't
let a bit of small type escape their
ey?. Pople who don't think they
want etther giance up and down thosa
meaty columns and change their
minds.
When the elder James Uordon Ben
nett Invented those little "person
als" and ran them in the tiniest type
he had. he didn't know he was found
ing the world's greatest market place.
But with every year greater and
greater throngs have come to that
market to buy and sell. And now
your Uncle Samuel acknowledges that
be can't do as well, either with ap
peals to patriotism on the one hand,
or gaudy billboard advertising on the
other. The pen is mightier than the
sword ? the "want ad" has the litho
graph beaten to a standstill. ? Cleve
land Leader.
ALASKAN PRESS.
The boasted patriotism of the
townsmen who would have news sup
pressed merely for the sake of a con
tinued population is manifesting it
self (Tally since reports of Iditarod
strike have been received here. It is
a usual occurrence for a newspaper
man to be accosted on the street
with "why don't you cut out this
news of the new strike; don't you
know that it will cause a certain
number of people to leave here?"
Some questions originate beyond a
doubt with the extremely foolish.
"Why don't you suppress the news?"
they say and then wonder why it
Isn't done. The difference between
one man who has this over-strained
patriotism for his home town, and the
newspaper that, large or small, mer
its the name as far as its equipment
and facilities are concerned is: the
Uwnsman is selfishly inclined and
like the man who would crush the
rose that he could not pluck for him
self, he would sink the treasure that
he cannot gain for his own to prevent
others from enjoying it.
The newspaper warts the news,
and when it can get it if it is a live
publication it publishes it. It ian't
claimed that this paper publishes
every bit of news it can get, for
which many at different times may
feel truly grateful, but news of gen
eral interest Is published. There
are happenings in Nome that are
Interesting, but they are not calcu
lated to be of benefit or use to
either the newspaper or the general
public hence for n groat ninny sake*!
it is forgotten ami plain facts of
the life of the camp, its business,
the professions, the changes, etc, are
given publicity as should be.
Every gold mining camp must take
care of Itself, and when a new sec
tion shows promise of growth and
advancement the entry of the people
from other towns is sure even with
out the aid of newspapers. It is
impossible to prevent the spread of
news thut is known as "wildfire"
and such news certainly is going the
rounds about the Idltarod. ? Nome
Gold Digger.
From the best information obtain
able it must be the radical change
of climate that, puts the Skagway
bowlers to the bad when they plnv In
Whltehorse. From the banana belt
to the home of the ice worm is too
great a change in one day.
With another drop of the mercury
today and the wind still holding its
own, it is up to every one to use
every precaution in their power
to prevent a fire starting from over
heated stoves and to keep good watch
on chimneys and flues.
"GET THE HABIT!"
If you buy from the local merchants
your money stays in town.
Home rule for Alaska.
RING THE BELL SOFTLY.
SOME one has gone from this strange
world of ours.
No more to gather Its thorns with
Its flowers.
No more to linger where sunbeams
must fade.
Where on all beauty death's Angers are
laid.
Weary with mingling life's bitter and
sweet.
Weary with parting and never to meet.
Some one has gmie to the bright golden
shore.
Ring the bell softly; there's crape or the
door.
Some one Is resting from sorrow and sin,
Happy where earth's conflicts enter not
In.
Joyous as birds when the morning 1s
bright.
When the sweet sunbeams have brought
us their light.
Weary with sowing and never to reap.
Weary with labor and welcoming sleep,
Some one departed to heaven's bright
shore.
Ring the bell softly; there's crape on the
door.
Angels were anxiously longing to meet
One who walks with tnem In heaven's
bright street.
Loved ones have whispered that some one
Is blest.
Free from earth's trials and taking sweet
rest
Yes, there Is one more in angelic bliss.
One less to cherish and one less to kiss.
One more departed to heaven's bright
shore.
Ring the bell softly; there's crape on the
door.

NITROGEN IODIDE.
A Wonderful 8ubstance That a Mere
Breath Would Explode.
"What would be the consequences of
firing a barivlful of nitrogen Iodide It
would be impossible to suy," declares
a writer In the London Strand Maga
tlne, "simply because tho stuff Is too
awful to be made in such quantities.
"It may sound like a Joke, but It Is
nevertheless the truth, that the tread
of a housefly Is sufficient to explode
this dangerous material. It Is not
necessary that a fly should walk over
the compound. It has orly to let one
foot come Into contnct with the explo
sive. wheu til** Jolt ccuses It to ex
plode and to blow the ibcect Into the
air.
"Another manner In which the pecul
iar property of this oxploslvo can be
demonstrated Is by scattering a small
quantity of the dry powder over a
sheet of clean paper. It then resem
bles pepper and only needs a few
sharp breaths of the manipulator?
Just sufficient to maVo them roll? to
cause each speck to Ignlto and ex
plode. meantime giving off a long, tnln
column of dense purple Hmoko. If a
barrelful of nitrogen Iodide could bo
made It would have to be kept moist
to prevent danger. By comparison gun
powder Is a mild. Innocent, inoffensive
material."

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys in good
health since, can be relied upon to
perform the same work in other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Fenton, 3D05 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
rnent for publication, telling of my ex
perience with Doans Kidney Pills som
yeans ago aud I am now pleased to
confirm all I then said In their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
I had dull, heavy pains through my
kldnoys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition ol
the kidnoy secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from tho first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. 1
have since had no return of kidney
complaint."
