A QUESTION FOR fHE PEOPLE
When Gov. HoggaU says **??* the
qumion of territorial government for
Alaska i* '??for*?me
Tears to come he forgets that in this
country the people make the issues and
not the politicians. It is not for Gov.
Hoggatt to ??y th?l terr'"?1"1*1 eovern
uient has ceased to be an issue. That
power doss not even lie in the hands of
Pr?aidec: Rooeevelt, S peaker Cannon
or the senatorial oligarchy. It is a
matter that lies wholly with the people
of Alaska.
Territorial government (or this Dis
trict wili cease w be an issue only if
the people of Alaska will It so. A*
long as the Alaskan people keep the
question to the front that long will it
be an issue.
Nor will the people be without assis
tance in congress. There are many
senators and representatives who will
irake our fight their fTght whenever!
they are brought to~realize the princi- 1
plea involved in Alaska's battle for
home ruie. They are men who can and
will preeent our cause before eocgresa
and the nation in such away as to make
Gov. Hoggatt and all the Tories to the
land hunt their holes, as those who
have opposed American principle of
government in this nation have been
tn.de to hunt their holes since our
national history began as soon as they
were discovered by the public.
Now let us hear one word of protest j
from those Juneau papers, which pre- ,
tend to be so loyal to Alaska and so
greatly opposed to malting Seattle the
great Alsskan center, because of the
proposed removal o! the headquarters
of .the Alsskan road commission from
Skagwsy to Seattle. It is likely that
wc will be dissappoinud if we spend
much time in listening for an objection
from there. The Juneau idea of Alas
ka is Juneau. If the road commission
headquarters had been at that place
and it were proposed to remove them
to Seattle then would it be ' an outrage
upon Alaska."
Senator Borah, of Idaho, indicted for
complicity in the land frauda committed
in his state, has appealed to the depart
ment of justice, requesting that the
testimony upon which the indictment
is bued, be reviewed before the
warrant of arre-t is served upon him.
The request was granted and the IJ-'hit
ed States district attorney for Idaho
has oeen summoned to Washington to
report with the evidence.
I'nder a four-column headline of l?0
point setters saying "GOV. HOGGATT
GETTING HIS," the Fairbanks Daily
News last month grouped a dozen D&ih
Alaskan editorials referring to Alaska's
chief executive and his misrepresenta
tion of the Alaskan oeople.
Senator Bailey is doing his level beai
to make that vindication seem right
anyhow. Ue has declared himself as
an advocate for Brya.t for president.
In the Finnish legislature recently
oiacted there are 19 women. -Ten of
them are socialist).

Mrs. J. W. Painter, of 310 East Ttli

not lost any of my faith in Doan's Kid
ney Pills since I publicly recorameci. d
the remedy In February 1903. As 1
stated at that time, a severe spell of
sickness early in my life left me with
weak kidneys and as time went on, 1
suffered more snd more with spells of
backache. The pain through the kid
neys was torture and often 1 could aot
find a comfortable position to lie In.
When able to be up and around, I was
troubled with headaches and diz/.iress
and could not stoop or lift anything. I
doctored and used various treatments,
but nothing seemed to help me any in
til I begin using Doan's Kidney Pills.
' Tha u?e of this remedy was very satis

cannot heaitate to recounnjnd it nj

ney Pills whenever I find an opp ?r
