ALASKA'S COMPLAINT
Commenting- upon the scandals in
connection with government in Alaska,
the Seattle Post Intelligencer says:
"The president has decided to send a
personal representative, in whose fair
ness and sound judgment he has the ut
most confidence, to Alaska to investi
gate the various charges and counter
charges which have been filed bv and
against a uumber of federal officehold
ers, with a view to determining on the
ground the real merits of controversies
which have been raging for years in
the district.
"Ti'e condition seems to be chronic,
and there seems do other manner of
settling it. A change of personnel does
not put a stop to the quarrels, for as
fast tw a new man arrives he gets into
the thick of the controversy as deeply
as his predecessor and takes his hand
in filing charges and in defending him
self against charges which have been
filed against him.
"A man from the outside, a trained
and experienced lawyer, holding a high
federal position, knowing none of the
parties, and having no purpose to serve
save to honestly aid the president in
determining clearly th merits of the
quarrels, can probably get at the real
truth ot th- matter. Assistant Attor
ney General Young appears to have
these qualification*. He will leave for j
Alaska in a out three weeks, and will
spend the greater part of the summer
In the d >agreeable duty to which he
has been assigned. He is quite likely
to come away profound! > impressed
with the soundness of the tradition that
there is something about the atmo
sphere of the far northern territory
which is unfavorable to the cultivation
of veracity. Hut b- that as it may, it
is to be hoped that he is a man of capac
ity adequate to suggest at least a par
tial remedv, if not a complete cure, for
Alaska's chronic complaint."
The Post-Intelligencer seems to be
departing from the sound and safe rem- '
edy for Alaskan ills it advocated with
?uch force and ability for so long a 1
time, otherwise it would not discuss the
situation so much at random, or make
the silly suggestion ..that "there is
something about the atmosphere of the
far northern territory which is unfavor
able to the cultivation of veracity."
The Post-Intelligencer truly says (
that "a change of personnel does not
put a stop to the quarrels" that harrass
Alaska, but rather than to blame the
atmoapher* , -> >?-ie .uin would take this |
fact a conclusive evidence that the
'roubles with the administration of law
In this district have to do with the sys
tem of fovernmeut rather than with in
dividuals. I
If the American princip'e of self- gov- '
ernment were applied to Alaska all
these perplexing problems of adminis- 1
tration would solve themselves. If the '
executive or administrative duties were
removed from the federal courts and
placed in the hands of the people, to be
exercised by them through servants
specially chosen by the electors for that
purpose, with their powers and duties
defined by laws made by the people con- 1
cerned. then there would be qo more
friction in Alaska than in any other
section of the I'nited States.
With Americans, whenever the last
appeal as to the merits of a law or the
manner of its enforcement is not to the
people concerned, there will be conten
tions and -candals. Mr. Roosevelt can
seed all hi* cabinet officers with all '
their department assistants to Alaska
and the\ will not be able to discover a
satisfactory substitute for self-govern
ment.
The people of the states of the North
are just now considering the "divorce
evil" while thotie of the South are ser
ious'? discussing the penchant of their
neighbors for shooting irons. It is not
improbable that if the people of the
North would do a little more shooting
under certain circumstances there
would be fewer divorces, and If the peo
ple of the South would confine the use
of the gun to the protection of their
families, there would be less complaint
In that section of the country. Divorce
courts and shooting irons are both use
ful agencies for the promotion of U;e
welltare and happiness of the human
family when properly used. It is the
improper use of the one in the North
and *he other in the South that are
presenting serious social problems for
the wise men of the country to solve.

Backache and kidney ache are twin
brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the back
iche until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are well and strong:,
:he rest of the system is pretty sure to
be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney P ills make strong,
healthy kidneys.
H. B. McCarver.of 201 Cherry street,
Portland, Oregon, inspector of freight
for the Trans-Continental Company, a
man who is very well known among
the railroaders of the coast, says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills are among the
few patent remedies which do all that
is claimed for them, and they have my
thorough confidence. I used them for
backache and other very marked symp
toms of kidney trouble which had an
noyed me for months. I think a cold
was responsible for the whole trouble.
It seemed to settle in my kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills rooted it out. It
is several months since I used them
and up to dale there has been no re
currence of the trouble I have recom
mended them to a number of the boys
about the freight house and I know if
they gave them a fair trial they c?r-i
tainly must have been pleased with the
results."

cents. Mailed by Foster-Milburn Co.,
