FROM DIFFERENT AXtJI.KS
Though worn exceedingly thread
ixue by long usage the old saying.
Wo two people cai. agree fully up
on any giveu question," is as ap
plicuelo at the present time as it
was u the day on which it waa
coii'.-d. A gool illustration of this
ss to b«- seen in the comments made
by the Juneau Kmpire and the Ju
neau Dispatch :n their write-ups or
the organization of the second ter
ritorial legislature, which convened
in Juneau on last Monday. Their
sizing up of the situation politically
is as widely at variance as it is
possible to imagine.
The Daily Kmpire of March 1st,
sc.ys:
As the senate and house
-tand organized the adhereuts
of James Wictersham, Alaska's
delegate to congress, are in cou
trol of the organization.
And the Da'iv Dispatch cf March
id, says:
The second session of the Al
a»ka territorial legislature com
pletely divorced politics from
Us deliberations by organization
on purely non-partisan lines.
Although i: is plainly evident
from an article in the Daily Km
pire of March 2d that the editor of
that pa>>r is sorely disappointed
over the result oi the elections in
ilie senate ana uousv. >i uui .n
>o be said, much to his credit, that
iie philosophically accepts things as
they ar- and is willing to pro\e
itis allegiance to Alaska by extend
ing ail the help thai he can iu
furtherance cf the interests of the
territory. The article in question
says iu part:
No matter whit individual
numbers of the legislature or
others mgiht thiak of the me
thods and results of the con
test over the organizaticu o."
t i.e second legislature of Ala
ka teiviiory, none should nurse
. Slouch. Ihe principal thin.u
i. that the legislature is organ
ized. and it is here to give at
tention to th»* \vjrk that m.tst
l>e done for Alaska.
It is agreed that President
Sutherland and Speaker Col
lins are men of high character
and capacit*. No one will
claim that they will not be fair
and efficient and honest in ihe
discharge of thei.- duties and
those are the things that are
important to all of us.
The Empire believes that thf
second legislature is capable of
doing good aork for Alaska,
:<ud that it will do ir. It be
lieves that the members will
t. ke into account the general
welfare of all sections of the
territory, and act in all
things with the good cf the
whole of the great Northern
Empire in mind at all times.
T^e only way to do this is
to forget the factional and sec
tional matters that usually ac
company a distribution of the
loaves and fishes.

TESTED AND PROVEN
There is a Heap of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a AYell
Karned Reputation.
For months Alaskan readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and
read about the good work the/
have done. What oth9r remedy ev
er produced such convincing proof
of merit?
Anthony Miller, 4316 S. Puget
Sound Ave., Tacoma, "Wash., says:
"I had lameness across my kidneys
and headaches and dizzy spells. I
suffered from a constant backache
when on my feet. I tried everytliin
but got nothing that would remove
tie trouble, until Doan's Kidney Pill
were recommended to me. They
quickly strengthened my back and
t amoved the lameness. I was soon
able to sleep well at night and got
up iu the mttiling feeling refresh
ed, Instead of being more tired
when I went to bed."

unfortunately those positions were so j
unattracthe tlmt tiie employees there j
could not be made to hold their places |
Jim was told that he might have a!
passenger traiu in this region, but was j
advised that the people traveling there
were hard to manage, and it was fear
ed that he would give up the job after
lea ruing the conditions.
Jim had commenced railroading aa a j
brakctnan The salary of conductor
was much better than that of agent at
an inferior station, and he decided to
accept the position. Another induce
meut was that if he succeeded in run
uing his train through the lawless dis
trict with regularity he would be ad
vanced to a higher posltloa
The main trouble Jim's predecessors
had experienced was collecting fares.
The people of the country made all
softs of excuses for not paying their
way, and if itie conduct>r tried to put
them off the train they would make a
flght. One conductor had been killed,
another severely wounded, and others
had been too frightened to Insist on
getting thp fare All this was explain
ed to the applicant

man noi es].eri illy muscular. He was
quite ingenious ami relied on his think
ins powers to pro\ hie ways of collect
ing fares
Jim had l*>cn running his tniln sev
eral days without trouble when a
wild looking man got on at a wilder- I
ness station, ami when ,li:n asked hlro I
for his fare the passenger. feeling
through hi< po<-i.-rts tinally took out a •
dirty paper on which lie had himself !
written a pa<s ,11m handed it back I
to h!m with the laconic remark, "No [

conductor with his tongue for insult
ing him. at the same time putting bU
hand to his hip for his revolver. Jia
put his hand Into his outside coat pock
et and. pul'ing out a rubber bulb, re
peated his request for the fare. Tht
<n»n was setting his revolver in pos!

Tin countrymen along the line were
used to lighting with their tists or their
revolvers anil were entirely put out of
their reckoning by such unprecedented
methods of warfare. It required but
these two instances to stop the refusal
to pay fares, for after the second ejee
tlon no one else eared to take the risk
ef running np against some new plan
of the conductor of accomplishing bis
purpose.
Meanwhile the railroad was civiliz
ing the people who lived beside it. A
respect for law and order was creep
ing in. and public sentiment was turn
Ing against the carrying of weapons
In other words, the people were be
coming a peaceful farming community
Jim Donnelly's success in collecting
fares was noted in the general offices
of the railroad company, and one day
he received the appointment of dlvi
Sion superintendent.
The country through which the line
passes is now thickly settled, and Mr
Donnelly Is vice president of the road.
