OUR ANNUAL WAR SCARE.
1* is a peculiar coincidence that
every year, just about the time the
big appropriation bills are before con
Kress, a carefully prepared war scare
is agitated and as a result the admin
istration usually has little difficulty i
securing an enormous military appro
priation. This year the "Yellow Peril'
was agitated so successfully that con
gress was bluffed lato granting about
$2:">(J.OOO.OOO to protect our menaced
frontiers.
No one who has studied the ques
tion carefully can entertain seriou
doubts that the steel trust and the
big shipbuilding and military arma
ment supply houses are back of our
annual war scare. These interests
do an enormous business with the
government of the United States and
they will continue to do so as long
as battleships and coast defences are
beiug ordered by the government.
ftichani P. Hobson. "The Hero of
the Merrimac." is the mouthpiece of
these- interests. Shortly after the
Spanish-American war. Hobson was
retired from the navy and was elect
ed to the House of Representatives
from Alabama. He has been in con
gress ever since and when that body
is not in session. Hobson tours the
country, making rabid "Yellow Peril"
speeches and hysterically calling for
battleships ? battleships ? more battle
ships. With the prophetic eye of
genius Hobson can clearly see the
day approaching wheu the hosts of
Japan will descend upon our shores,
sink our navies, route our armies, an
?ack our cities. To hear Hobson talk
one would think that our national ex
istence depended upon the suffranc
of Japan.
It is to laugh!.
The "Yellow Peril" is a chimera
a myth fostered by a few interests.
There is little doubt but that Hobson
is doing press agent work on a gi
gantic sca?-l for these interests. What
his reward is, he best can tell.
Of course the United States needs !
a strong navy. It is axiomatic that
"in times of peace prepare for war."
But it is sheer folly to bankrupt the
United States in building battle
ships. Last year our naval appropria
tion alone was $122,662. 48.">. The ar
my appropriation was $9.j,U82,2-l7 ad
ditional. These two items were more
than one-third of the whole expense
of conducting our government.
How many people in the United
States would vote to continue this
policy if the matter were put before
th'e people?
HOME RULE.
1 desire to say there is one other
right that is near and dear to my
heart, and that is home rule (or Al
aska ? the grandest country on earth
the wonderland of the world, the
richest asset in I'ncle Sam's domain
? and I hope the next congress will ,
grant Alaska territorial government '
with all the rights ever possessed by
any Territory."
Speech made in congress by Repre
sentative William Sulzer of New York;

di\ision in Alaska will give the admi

Every community is cursed with
one or more trouble brewers. David
Harum said that fleas kept dogs from
brooding over their sorrows. Who |
shall say that the mlsrhief maker has
not his sphere?"
It Is rumored that "Stroller" White

"And further, by these, inv soli,
be admonished: of making ot' many
books there is no end; and much
study is weariness to the flesh."
There are a number of Alaskans in
Washington, D. C.. who believe in the I
man seeking the office rather than
the office seeking the man.
The government has purchased an
automobile for the use of President
Taft. Couldn't horses strong enough
to pull him be found?
The world holds no more priceless
treasure for man than the love of a
pure woman.

All lovnl Alaskans want homo rule

Young Woman Found in Awful Con
dition with Scabies? Body a Mass
of Sores from Scratching? Tried
Many Remedies for Seven Weeks
? Result Was Discouraging, But
ITCHING TORTURES
YIELDED TO CUT1CURA
"While I was doing mi -ionarv work
in the lower portion of several citie I
found it necessary to know a little of
the efticacv of a few medicines and
after a while I found that i little knowl
edge of Cuticura was at> tit all 1 needed.
One of th<- very bad en - 1 had to deal
with was that of a vounc woman who
had come to us not only broken ia
spirit but in a most awful condition
pnysically. Our doctor examined her
and told" us that she had M-abii (tho
itch), incipient paresis. rheumatism,
etc.. brougnt on from expo- 1. re and tho
effects of her ragged-edged life. Her
poor body was a mass of sores from
scratching and she was r. t able to
retain solid food. We tried many tiling,
a good tonic was prescribed and baths
with a rubbing of lard and sulphur. Wo
worked hard for seven week and you
can imagine how discouraged we were
when, after all that time, we could see
so little improvement. One day I hap
pened to see a Cuticura advertisement
telling how a little baby had been
cured of a bad case of skin eruption,
and although I had but ninety-seven
cents with me, I bought a cake of Cuti
cura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura
Resolvent. When I reached homo I
was like a child with a new toy, and wo
bathed our patient well and gave her a
full dose of the Resolvent. She slept
that night better than she had sinco
she had l>een with us and the next day
I located the price of a box of Cuticura
Ointment. I am not exaggerating
when I say that in exactly five weeks
this young woman was able to look for
a position, being strong enough to work
and full of ambition. In another
month she left the home, and now has
a good position in a nice family whero
she is respected and is strong and well.
You may refer any one you w ish to me.
