THE COMMISSION FAD.
Before the President ma do that
speech, sad before he suggested a
commission for the government of
Alaska, indifference toward home
rule was about as common as the
feeling that home rule with limited
powers would be satisfactory. The
mere mention of the name "commis
sion" was the pressing of an elec
tric button. It united the whole ter
ritory under the home rule standard,
and what is more, those who former
ly would have been content with
limited home rule are now ready to
fight for the whole apparatus of a
territory in full standing. As the
revolution passed by the Fairbanks
mass meeting puts it, we say that it
is necessary that congress shall and
we respectfully petition the congress
to create au elective territorial legis
lature in Alaska with the legislative
power and authority conferred upon
such legislatures in territories.? Fair
banks Times.
GOVERNMENT AID TO RAILROADS
Government aid to railways, ac
cording to the modern methods, is I
not to be confused with the subsidy
idea. A subsidy is a gift. No
repayment is ever expected, and the
returns, if any, are only general.
When the government guarantees to
pay for a certain length of time the
Interest on the bonds of railways,
as is proposed in the case of Alaska,
the government acts simply as
banker. It advances money, but not
as a gift; the debt becomes a lien
on the property of the roads. It is
as sound in principle as the reclama
tion practice, which ties up millions
of the government money for a time,
but which in time is all returned to
the treasury of the United States.
The government comes out even, or
ahead; and has produced something
for the people which is a pure profit
to the nation.? Fairbanks Times.
? "Poor human nature," we some
times say, forgetting that through
every character runs a vein of gold.
Now and then kindly chance rends
the base earth that covers it and
shows us a hero or a heroine. But,
revealed or unrevealetl, all human
nature is rich in the possibility of
greatness. Here and there we build
a monument; but if for every deed of
noble daring some memorial were
raised, earth's monuments would be
as the star of heaven or the sands of
the sea; the names of the lowly and
the great would stand side by side,
and the name of the mother by the
name of the son. For the valor of
man is a mighty stream that all may
see as it rolls through the ages,
changing the face of the world, but
otttimes its source is a spring of coup*
age rising from the secret depths of
an unknown woman's heart. ? Ex.

NEW YORK. ? Mrs. Sarah T. Rorer,
the famous culinary expert, has shock
ed the Mother's Club by declaring
that no man should have anything to
do with the bringing up or his son
other than providing food and cloth
Ing for him. In discussing the sub
ject, "How to Mold the Boy's Char
acter." Mrs. Rorer said:
BOYS WHICH
FISH SCHOOLS
It Is common enough to see n boy
watching cattle u> keep them from
straying, an?l In days not so very long
gone by it was no unusual thing for a
boy to be set to keep the birds off the 1
crops. But a watch boy whose duty It
Is to keep a lookout for a school of
fish and who sits In a svutry box set
upon stilts 19 not such an everyday
sight
This particular kind of watch boy Is
Norwegian, the soeno of his labors be
ing the shores of some fiord of his na
tive land.
His little sentry box Is made of
wood and perched high upon posts.
Here the lad sits, gazing out across
the arm of the sea, using his keen
eyes for the benefit of the farmers
wbo are depending upon him to give
the alarm when a school of tlsh shall
appear. They work contentedly
enough in their tlelds, secure in the
belief that their watch boy will let
them know when it Is time to reap a
harvest from the sea Instead of from
the land.
When the signal Is given they leave
their work, throw their big nets over
their shoulders and hurry off to their
boats.
Sentinel boxes similar to those em
ployed in Norway were in use among
the fishermen on the shores of the
Mediterranean, and It Is supposed that
the vikings brought back with them
from some of their piratical raids the
Idea that has been put in practice ever
sliK-e. Youth's Companion

COMES ACHOSS
BOSTON, ? A family agreement in
volving nearly $300,000 between Mrs.
"Men are not fit to bring up child
ren. They aro too irritable and cross
to assume auy control of their child
ren, largely because of their worries
In the present condition of the com
mercial world. Men are not suffic
iently gifted with patience to teach
children."
The statement caused a lively dis
cussion.
Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder and
leader of the Christian Sclencc denom
inatlon, and her son, George W. Glo
ver, of South Dakota, and her adopted
son, Ebenezer J. Fostor Eddy, of Ver
mont, has been concluded, according
to announcement made by represent
atives of Mrs. Eddy here yesterday.
Under the agreement George W.
Glover and his family received $245, ?
000 and Ebenezer J. Foster Eddy $43,
000. Mrs. Eddy's son and adopted
son relinquish all. their present and
prospective rights or interests in Mrs.
Eddy's estate.

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which lias kept the kidueys in good
health since, can bo relied upon to
perform the same work In other cas
es. Read this:
R. C.- Fen ton, 3903 N. Cheyenne St..
Tacoma, Wash., 6ays: "I gave a state
' ment for publication, telling of my ex
perlence with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased t<>
confirm all I then said in their favor.
' I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became bo bad off that
I was obliged to give up iny work
I had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
the kidney 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 the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. 1
have since had no return of kidney
complaint"
