THOSE APPROPRIATIONS
Ever since hi* position as chief of the
Tory lobby ca'Ied him from Washing
ton back to Alaska Got. Hoggatt has
been ringing the changes on the
amount of the approDratioos this Dis
trict got from the recent congress, and
all of bis apologists have been
bragging about it, and, with him, the;
hire been setting It forth as conclusive
?vidence that Ai??k? has an "idea!
gOTernment."
We will pass over, for the time being
at least, this acceptance of that degen
erate standard of statesmanship which
regards ability to get a good grab at
the federal treasury as the chlefest
mark of excellence in a representative
at the national capital, howbeit this
same standard Is one that is eating at
the very ritals of our nation. We will
consider only the question as to
who put up the money appropriated to
us.
The items of which Got. Hoggatt
brags and which make the sum of the
appropriations of .this District run into
respective flgures are those for roads
and telegraphs. The former amounts
to 8:50,000 and the latter to 9190,000.
Both are maJe up from moneys that
have been collected from Xlaskan
people and those doing business with
them ? addition to taxes such as are
required from Americans residing else
where than in Alaska.
The road appropriation is just a small
part of more than $1.000.0c0 that hare
been paid by the people of this district
into the federal treasury in occupation
taxes? More than #tiOO,COO of which is
still there, drawing interest let us hope,
for the future Territory of Alaska.
The telegraph extension appropria
tion is of money made by the federal
government on previous investments id
this district? profit the government
has earned by doing business with
Alaska being reinvested that the profits
might become still greater.

NON-PART1ZAN DOCTRINE
John Temple Graves, the Atlanta edi
tor who created a sc asation a couple ol
weeks ago by by asking1 W. J. Bryan to
place Presided Roosevelt In nomina
tion for president at the nest Demo
cratic national convention, has beeu
creating much talk since that pronuncL
amiento. He has spoken atChicago.N'ew
York and other places ind everywhere
be has caused talk. Mr. Graves is
preaching a doctrine of aon-partizan
ship. He is urging thd people "to put
the parties on the shelf" for just one
campaign. He thinks they are getting
tired this battle of one organization
against another under conditions which
make the organizations the instruments
of whatever interests that succeed In
capturing them.
Mr. Graves says be askedMr Bryan to
take the liberal course and name Presi
dent Roosevelt to be the Democratic
candidate, because, as a Democrat, he
would have no right to make a request
of President Roosevelt to Dominate Mr.
Bryan Id the Republican convention.
He says he would be equally well satis
fied with the one as president as with
the other.
While the country may not be ready
to follow Mr. Graves there are many
who agree with him on the situation ?
far more than those politicians who
scoff at him imagine.
STANDARD OILS' TROUBLE
Tbe Standard Oil company'* plea
that it didn't know the law doesn't
speak well for the lawyers to whom it
has been giving steady employment.?
Ketchikan Miner.
More likely the sentence was not
completed. Probably the Standard
Oil Company did not know tbe law was
to be enforced against It. Laws were
so long regarded as instruments to be
used against the other fellow to make
the Surdard Oil monopoly complete
that It could not bring itself to under
stand that there bad been a change of
policy.
Notwithstanding that in giving swing
to bis propensity to "butt in"Preaideot
Roosevelt has placed himself is the
wrong in this Haywood, Moyer and]
Pettlbone business ud is rightly sub
ject to ceoiure, the laboring people of
the United States will sadly regret it it
the expression of their resentment in
so forceable a manner shall result in
the selection of a reactionary for the
next president. This eplsodo Is a very
small matter when considered In con
nection with the great work President
Kooeevelt is doing in the contest to re
store the American government to ths
American people.
In giving prizes for the boys of Skag
way to play ball for, Dr. Keller is setting
an example worthy of emulation. We
are prone to give too scant attention to
the.boys, particularly noticeable Is that
in our northern towns. To make
life Interesting to the young people in
a sane and wholesome way is to do a
public service.
In honoring the Japanese Gen. Kuro
ki the American people and nation are
showing respect for one of the greatest
of the war geniuses.
FRED Sf
IS IN NtVAO.4
Fred Ronkend^rf has not left Nevada
according to a letter received from him
In the last mall by C. T. Moore, former
chief of police of this city. The letter
was wrttten April 23d, and was from
Tonopah where Mr. ROnkendorf is
located, and at which piece he claims
to be doing well. I
Mr. Ronkendorf said nothing of any
intention to return to Alaska nor did
he intimate that be expecaed to leave
Nevada. To the contrary, Mr. Moore
construes the letter to indicate that he
will remain where he is.

MAV PROVE FATAL
Whu Will Alaaka Paopl* Lurn the
Importance of It ?
Backache is only a simple thing at
first;
But when you know 'tis from the
kidneys;
That serious kidney troubles follow;
Tbat diabetes, Bright'! disease may
be the fatal end,
Yon will gladly profit by the follow
ing experience.
William Bumgardner, retired, of 425
Waler St., Salem. Ore., say9: "I speak
from personal experience when I say
that Dosn's Kidney Pills do all that is
claimed for them in curing kidney com
plaint and backache. I had felt the
need of such a remedy for a good long
while bat did not know just what I
should use. I have found that many
medicines are worthless and that even
physicians' prescriptions do not always
prove effective. When I read of Doan's
Kidney Pills, however, I was induced
10 procure a supply. The backache and
irregular condition of the kidneys which
had annoyed me, quickly gave way on
beginning to use your remedy and I was
restored to a condition of ease and com
fort. I can recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills to anyone in need of such a
medicine." -
