IS IT STRANGE I
? ?
The Juneau Record-Miner says the
Issue to be settled in the coming cam
paign in Alaska is the question as to
whether democrats or republicans are
more numerous in Alaska. The Trans
cript says "me too." The Daily Alas
kan has said something about that
question.
Here is what the Juneau Dispatch
says:
"Can any one find an issue for the
delegate race! With the exception of
Nome vs. Fairbanks, \aldezvs. Seward,
and Juneau vs. Sitka, we cast around
sadly searching for a plank to fit the
platform. Every convention that meets
will endorse the Roosevelt administra
tion, territorial form of government, a
local government for the people and by
the people, sympathy for the people of
California and either a bunch of honey
or a big scare head-roast for the judge
of the third Alaskan judicial division.
The only live issue which presents
itself is whether the first division will
line up with Nome, Fairbanks or Sew
ard. In either events with a full vote
at home she can land the plum."
In other words the platform will be a
general cctch-all but the real
issue will be to get the office for
Juneau!
In the face of all this comes the gov
ernor of the district, himself a leading
citizen of Juneau and the head of the
official life in that citv|of officials, and,
while admitting that Alaska can get
what she aska for, says that the ques
tion of territorial government has been
settled for 10 years.
Now, honor bright, is It strange that
those of other Southeastern Alaskan
towns should hesitate about accepting
Juneau's leadership? Is it strange
that they should be suspicious about
Juneau's good faith ? Is it not time for
Juneau ites to come to the front and
say where they stand ?
If the insurance business is so profit
able that the insurance companies
can pay the losses of the Baltimore,
Rochester and San Francisco conflagra
tions in addition to other losses that
must come as a matter of course and
still control the investment securities
of the world within a score of years,
as was claimed by Senator Bulkeley
will be the case, is it not about time
the rates were being reduced? The
insured should be given an opportunity
to save a little money for themselves.
If it had not been that Attorney Gen
eral Hadley, of Missouri, had just com
pelled the Standard Oil Company to
admit that it owned the Republic Oil
Company and the Waters-Pierce Com
pany, after it had denied ownership,
both of which have been dissolved,
more respect might have been shown
for the Rogers- Archbold answer to the
president's special Standard Oil mes
sage to congress.
The telgraphic dispatches tell us that
the mining code prepared under the
direction of Gov. Mclnnes for the
Y ukon, is sure of adoption by the Do
minion parliament.

It I* Dangerous to Nifleot a cold
How often do we hear it remarked:
"It's only s cold, ' ' and a few days later
learn that the man is on his back with
pneumonia. That is of such 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 gained its great popular
ity and extensive sale by its prompt
cures of thta most common ailment. It
always cures and Is pleasant to take.

way, Sunday at 11 o'clock, on the

first base for Skagway last year, one
of the strongest player who ever came
north, is on his wav to Skagway and

One of the prizes that will go to the
baseball team winning the contest at
Whitehorse, Victoria Day, will be a
challenge cup. It is proposed it shall
represent the championship of the
north coast, and that the team winning
it shall be required to defend it under
certain regulations which will be pro
mulgated.
There will also be a prize of $125 to
the winning baseball team on Victoria
Day and $50 to the team winning the
second place.
HOUSEHOLD CARES

a* 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 251S. 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
nev secretions, pain and soreness across
the kidneys and weariness and languor.
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, j
I had 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 al most immediate
ly and soon correctected the action of
tbe 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."
