NOW that the election is over let us
gef in and try to do a little real work
toward building up the town.
-U
The way Adelman. Orlander and
McMullen ran on the ticket shows
their energies are wasted. The> should
be nominated for governor or some
thing.
11 is now “Mayor” Ray.
Miss Sylvia Sexton and Judge Win.
H. Whittlesey were elected by on*1 of
the largest votes ever given a local
candidate.
What’s the matter with the winners
and the losers getting together and
having one big love tea si at the local
restaurant some night soon.
Anchorage had a far worse time
than Seward had. on account of hav
ing more people, probably.
The vagaries of elections are illus
trated by the fact that three hundred
votes were cast yesterday, where no \
one thing was (to gain or lose by a
large vote, while at the general elec
tion last fall, when Seward could have
secured additional representation in
the Territorial legislature less than
a, half vote was cast.
The Foster Literacy bill should be
indorsed by every- believer in good
government and one hundred per cent
Americanism. The hill provides that
to vote in Alaska one should be able
to read and write the English lan
guage. The object of the bill is to
shut out the half civilized Indian who
has not suffcient intelligence to know
for whom he is voting. It is a good
bill and should be indorsed by every
American Legion Post in the. Territory
as well as by every citizen who be
lieves his or her vote to be worth more
to the government than an Indian’s
Several citizens of Seward believe
that a protest should be sent to the
legislature against the enactment of
the Callahan bill taxing rafi’oads $100
per mile, where owned by an individ
ual, company c corporation; also a
protest against the Jonhston bill giv
ing the election printing of the Sec
ond, Third and Fourth divisions to Ju
neau concerns. Personally, we believe
the bills are so foolish and absurd as
to warrant no protest being made. We
have more confidence in the remain
ing members of the legislature, than
to believe for a minute such bills will
pass.
Why send a delegation to the Terri
torial legislature and then pay no at
I teniion to bills introduced? You are
i more vitally interested than you are
! awai e of.
MARSHAL’S PARTY COMING

shal for the Fourth division, will ar

guards.

GOING IT TOO ID?
Overwork, worry, overeating and
lack of exercise and sleep are respon
sible for much kidney trouble. If your
back aches and the kidneys seem
weak, rest up and use Doan’s Kidney
Pills.
J. P. Howe, proprietor of general
store, 152 Water Street, Santa Cruz,
Calif., says: “Overlifting affected my
kidneys. I had severe pain in the
lower part of my back, but the main
trouble was with my kidneys. They
didn’t act properly. The secretions
burned and there was inflammation
in my bladder. I tried different kid
ney medicines, but they did me no
good. Doan’s Kidney Pills did the work
for me. I have been entirely free from
kidney and bladder trouble since."
(Statement given February 19, 1916.)
On December 4, 1919, Mr. Howe
said: ‘‘I never miss a chance to re
commend Doan’s for I know from ex
perience there is nothing better lor
| kidney trouble.”
