MEDDLERS
This newspaper care? naught for
street "knocker*" nor for that element
of local leaders who discus the short
comings of o'hers when guzzling high
balls in back room* of saloons. Of as
little consequence is the prattle of hun
dred dollar a month clerks. Flamboy
ant as may be the statement as to what
certain people will do with other peo
ple in the matter of wrecking ven
geance for presumed ill-treatment is of
no concern to this page. The contro
versy that this newspaper may have
with corporation# or their agents
should not be meddled with by those
whom the outcome ic no manner ef
fects, However, those people who.
through uncontrolled desire to attend,
to other people's business, may get
mixed up in the matter, if they so de
sire, but, should they in turn later be
come offended at treatment they may
reccve for having done so, they will
have none but themselves to blame.
When one makes their own bed they
certa:n!y should not be averse to occu
pying it.
SHOf D NOT FALTER
The fear entertained by the Juneau
> Mspatch that soap judgment may be
taken at the Juneau_ convention and
Delegate Thoma-> Cale become the loser
cf his delegateship, through nominat
ing the delegate at the coming conven
tion insteed of at one that should be
held next summer, is groundless. In
the lirst place, the delegates at the
coming convention represent all Alaska
republicans, except the democrats who
were elected by the Treadweli Mine
and Governor Hoggatt at Juneau, and
w hy should they not nam.; the dele
gate now as well as next summer ? If
Oovernnr Hoggatt has the strength in
the convention, let him rule, but If, on
the other hand, the lovers of freedom,
the people who are making Alaska
thf taxpayers who are for territorial
rnmen: should have the power to
control the convention, and it looks
now as if there was no question but
w hat they had. then let them pass such
resolutions as cannot fail to sbow Gov
ernor Hoggatt in his true light, and
provide for their reaching the Presi
dent's eye. When that is done they
can do no more and no more will be
necessary. The fight has begun and no
whimper should be made by men who
have gone in with eyes open, The
1 resident in the past has acted on much
ess ground than can be shown in the
case of Alaska and he will, in all like
lihood, act tigaio.
This paper makes do pretense at- be
ing a sear, but when the press of Alaska
shill have been heard from upon a
certain manner of muzzling Dews
papers it is free to declare that those
people who hastily rush into a Don
Quixote fight with a newspaper will
wish that they had counted ten before
.doing so.
THE Wm
OF THE BANK
Skagwav, Oct. 23, 1907
Editor Daily Alaskan:
With reference to the bank failure at
Yalilez. reported in your recent issues
th?re is a saying to the effect that
"Misery loves company" and it may be
a solace to the unfortunate depositors
of the failed bank to know that back in
the so-called "dark ages," no less a
person than Nebuchadnezzar had sim
ilar trouble*, as the enclose fragment
will show.
Yours truly,
W. T. White.
AN ASSYRIAN FRAGMENT
{Translated from a Dornick picked up
at Nineveh.)
Now it came to pass In the days of
Nebuchadnezzar that a certiln rirb
Chaldean said to hlmsolf: "Go to, I
will arise and start a bank. And all
Babylon shall como to mo with their
moneys aid shall make unto me a de
posit and I shall become rich Id the
land and pcradventure may bo able to
buy a chariot of fire ? yea, even a 40
borse power chariot with a limousine
body.
And Uz, the Chaldean, went forth
and did open up his bank. And the
people of Nineveh marveled among
themselves and said: "Surely this is in
the nature of a snap. We shall receive
pay for our money and it shall be safe
from the covetousness of the Hittites,
and the Shalmanltes, and the Amele
kitcs and the Caledonytes, and the
Fleabites, and the Skylites." And they
came, yea, even a great multitude, and
brought with them gold a-plenty.
And, behold, Nebuchadnezzar had
gold beyond measure. For he had bad
talking* and argument with a rich
trader 'rem the East and had put the
screws to him yea, even the thumb
screws. And he said to himself: "Go
to, I will make a deposit in this new
fangled concern around the corner, and
I shall wax rich, yea, passing rich shall
I wax." And he made a quick hike
and deposited ninety talents of silver,
and of frankincense and myrrh, a
hundred weight, and of sbittim wood,
four cords.
And Uz, the Cba'dean prospered ex
ceedingly and rode about in liis chariot,
and did break the speed laws in divers
places. And he built him a great
mansion of olive wood and precious
stones. Yea, verily, he was the re.il
thing in Nineveb.
And his glory grew, and his wife
arrayed herself in purple and fine cloth
and did look upon the people with an
eyeglass tied to a stick.
Tben said Nebuchadnezzar one day:
"Verily, this man Uz seemetli to be u
prosperous cuss. Shall niy talents of
gold and my shittim wood buy the gas
ollne for his chariot, while I am
scratching like sixty to pay off the
millinery bill for the royal harem?
Co to, I will arise and draw out a few
bushels of chicken feed."
And he arose and took with him his
hand maidens, and his ox, and bis ass,
and went to Uz of the Chaldeans, And,
behold, upon the door of the bauk there
was a parchment. And upon the parch
ment was the inscription:
"This Bank is Closed."
Then did Nebuchadnezzer weep with
a loud wailing and rend ois garment, and
pluck out his beard. And he dispatch
ed sheriffs and men at arms after lTz,
of the Chaldean*; but they found him
not. For he bad departed into a far
country ? even unto Candia, which lieth
in the Mediterranean and had no ex
tradition laws.
And Nebuchadnezzar was exceeding
wroth, and ttere were no more banks
in Nineveh? Nay, in the whole of
Babylon were there no more banks for
a whole generation.
WHAT THE KIDNEYS 00
Their lUnceaaing Work Kenya Us
Strong; and Healthy
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once evory three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work dav and night. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains of
impure ma'ter dally, when unhealthy
some of this impure matter is left in
?he blood. This brings on many diseas
es and symptoms? pain in the back,
* eadacfce, nervousness, rheumatism,
k Out, gravel, disorders of the sight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, de
bility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in
the nrine, etc. But if you keep the fil
ters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
HeDry White, of Dundee Addition,
Port Townsend, Wash., says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills did me a great deal of
gooj "three years ago, when I was suff
ering from pains and aching in the
ack and sides. It felt just as if I had
been beaten or bruised. Sharp twinge
of pain would shoot through the kid
nejs, and the secretions wero unnatural
and caused a good deal of embarrass
ment. My son procured Doan's Kidne\
Pills for me and I took theiu according
to directions. They promptly relieved
the soreness and pain, corrected the
kidney secretions, and helped me in
every way."

PRINCESS MAY
ARIES LATE
The Princess May, which was due to
arrive in the city yesterday, did not get
into port until this rooming. No an
nouncement has been given The Alas
kan as to when she will sail. The
Humboldt arrived on time and will
doubtless carry out a large passenger
list, as she is one of the most popular
ships that touch here.
