AN ABSURD THING ?
This attempt of Col. Harvey and
other retrainers of tae money lords
to bring out the venerable Ex-Presi
dent Cleveland as a third-term presi
dential candidate is beyond the limit
|or absurdity. That thu people of the
United States have passed bevoud the
ideas and conservatism of Cleveland's
da; is so apparent that one would think
it wou d be accepted by those who
were leaders of thought a generation
ago as a matter of fact.
The failure of the movement to
defeat the nomination of President
Roosevelt in 1SXM, the larcical termin
ation of the Parker campaign, the
refusal of the Democratic masses to
take up the boom J udge Parker and
Col. Harvey tried to create for a South
ern candidate, the flatness of the Wood
row Wilson boom, which struck earth
with a sickening thud w soon after Its
launching, and many other things
should have taught the relicts of a past
epoch the futility of disturbing .the
respectable repose of the "Sage of
Princeton'' a: this l?.ie day. ? The
people of the United St.itereg?rd Pres
ident Roosevelt and William J. Bryan
as the leaders of the two great parties
and to side-track either will, in all
probability, mean a defeat for the
party which permits the side-tracking.

ARTHUR M'EWAN DEAD
Arthur McEwan, oce of the leading
editorial writers of the Hearst paper*,
It uead of heart disease McEwan was
developed in Nevada. He went to San
Francisco when his state became too
small for aim. Afterward he followed
Hunt co New York. Ee ,was classed
aa oce of the greatest editorial writers
of the na;ion. He was an acurate and
brilliant thinner, possessed of a wonder
ful vocabulary, and was a graphic and
incisive writer. Like with most great
journalists, tie w*> sufficiently indepen
dent lo write truth, as it appeared to
him, upon everything lie touched, let ii
he.p jr hurt wbom it may. He was a
Scotchman by m>n by oirth and educa
tion, but American 10 tae coie in prin
ciple and exp.i iei.ce, and no man was
more pairionu&n.) uevi.ted to bis adopt
ed country.
A rumor was in circula. ion at Juneau
the other day iha. the Alastan road
commission was about to CQange its
be?aquarters from Skagway to that
place, and for tne first time a Juneau
newspaper cjntained an objection to the
sugn.est,on that the cuinmia>ion should
move to Jjeatt.e. Howevjr, we can tell
the Juneauue that the road commission
is nut koiuk to lesve Skagway. It Is
here to stay. Aiajor Kicbardson, presi
dent of tne commission, says Skagway
Is good enough. In fact, he goes further
than iba;: He says there are two cities
in the World? New York and Skagway,
and New York is not lu Alaska where
the law requires the commission to have
its headquarters.

THAT AID FROM
I lit NATION
(Ketchikan Miner)
We receive much financial help from
the national governmet .??>?? the gov
ernor [Got. Hoggatt]. Yea, and every
dollar of it cornea ouc of our own pock
eta, la the way of lictnie and occupation
taxes Imposed upon us by that .same
government. Not one of the approprl
ations to which he refers are, in view
of the libe.-al treatment heretofore
accorded the organized territories,
justly chargeable against Alaska. It
has appropriated Urge amounts, in
money and public lands, for tbo con
struction of roads and maiking internal
improvements in the several states and
territories, compared with whioh the
appropriations for Alaska referred to
by the governor are wholly insignifi
cant. Therefore the Miner feels justi
fied in tne assertion that every dollar
the government expends on acconot of
Alaska? aside from that it would
expend just the same under a territor
ial form of government, and aside from
appropriations for the general public
benefit of the country at large, is
contributed by the p:op!e and indus
tries of Alaska.

OVERTAXED
Hundreds of Alaaka Raadera Know
What It Manna
Tbe kidneys are overtaxed;
Have too much to do.
They tell about it in many ache9 and
pains ?
Backache, sideache, headache,
Early symptons of kidney ills.
Urinary troubles, diabe es, Bright's
disease follow.
W. K. Mcintosh. of 593 Harrison Ave.
Astoria, Oreg., says: "For years, off
and on, I suffered a good deal from a
deranged condition of tbe kidneys and
lameness arid aching across the small of
my back, which annoyed me very much
at my work and made it painful to stoop
over or lift anything. I often thought
I was troubled with gravel, so painful
was the passage of the kidney secret
ions. Doan's Kidney Pills came to my
notice and I procured them at a drug
store. They helped me from the first
and soon relieved the pain and lameness
in my back, corrected and regulated
the kidney secretions, and the lapse of
time since I gave my first statement re
garding my satisfactory experience with
your remedy, bas shown that the bene
fit derived is still of a lasting nature."
