PEOPLE NEED HOME RULE
President Taft has declared that
the present system of governing Al
aska ia no* satisfactory. He wants
to change it, and in that respect he
iq in accord with ninety per cent of
our population. One difference be
tween Mr. Taft and the rest of us is
the way the change is to be made.
Mr. Taft wants to add to his already
overgrown appointive privilege by be
ing given the power to select a com
mission to formulate laws for Alaska;
and we want to elect our own com
mission to do that work.
Mr. Taft is inconsistent. He has
already appointed every one who has
anything to do with t he governing of
this territory and admits it is a fail
ure,
In order to correct that failure he
proposes to appoint a lot more. who.
it they consistently follow the course
of the previous appointees, will only
make the failure more gigantic.
No question is ever settled until it
ia settled right, and. no system of
government was ever worth living un
der until it got into the hands of the
people who are to be governed. A
commission of outsiders can never be
made to stick in Alaska or any other
country where the population is not
chicken livered. so all this talk of an
appointive commission is drivel so
far as the settlement of the Alaska
question is concerned. Nobody be
lieves in it and nobody wants to.
The nearest solution of the ques
tion is embodied in the Wlckersham
bill. It assures sensible legislation
and allows of nothing else. It is
less expensive than the present sys
tem or the proposed commission. It
restricts extravagance and forbids
the creation of territorial debt.
It. adopts all that has proven benefi
cial to other territories and eliminat
es all the injurious. It is the right
way to settle the question, if the
majority Is to be given first consider
ation. ? Ketchikan Miner.

Insurance company who has been in

leged looting of more than a million
dollars from the coffers of his com

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 tho same work in other cas
es. Read this:
K. C. Kenton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave r. state
ment for publication, telling of my ex
perlence with Doans Kidney Pills sorn
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all 1 then said in their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
aud finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
1 had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion 1 was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
tho kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When 1 learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. 1 felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. 1
have since had no return of kidney
complaint"
