THE NEED OP ORGANIZATION
For the lack of a nail, the shoo
was lost,
For the lack of the shoe, the horse
vas lost.
For tho lack of tho horse the rider
was lost
Fcr the lack of the rider the battle
■was lost.
All was lost for want of a horse
shoe nail.
For tbe lack of a civic organiza
tion, Skagway has lost a most
glorious opportunity of "aining some
re:J, first hand advertising, gratis.
That's what tho loss of a visit
of the "Billionaire" excursion, now
Eit-king tho tour of Southeastern
and Southwestern Alaska, amounts
to.
While the whole civilized world
19- breaking its neck, and in some
instances going broke financially,
in a frantic endeavor to "et adver
tising, such as will bring into
prominence the advantage and res
ources of its respective localities.,
Skagway has dozed indolently in it.s
hammock, swinging gently in tin
cuol breeze of the genial summer |
sunshine, and allowed an opportuni
ty. to Baii sereuely by, passing this
port by only a few miles, which
might havo been negotiated, had
aa invitation, emanating from a well
organized civic body, been tendered
to the owners of the "Billions"
and their respected host.
I'erhaps, if the owner of the
horse had hunted up a farrier at j
the last moment andhad the shoe
retet, the battle, rider, horse, shoe j
ard nail need not have been lost,
and thus it is with Skagway.
Why not get busy at once, and
e\ptnd a few dollars on' a cable
to President Alexander, inviting
him, and even going so far as to
implore him, to call in at Skagway
cn the return trip, and allow the
poor over-worked billionaires an
opportunity of seeing the VERY
BEST THAT ALASKA HAS TO
OFFER.
Let's be up and doing.
While "somebody" is writing the
cablo, and another "somebody" is
soliciting the few dollars necessary
fc-r the cable tolls, let "somebody"
else get busy and re-organize the
Commercial Club. Skasrway needs
such an organization, if for no other
purpose than to take up just such
matters as the one mentioned above.
A lommercial club is not an expen
sive proposition, while on the other
hr>nd, it is a money getter to the
DvJEiness men, and those dependent
on the town for a livelihood. It
requires but a few hours to "or
ganize,"' elect officers and commit
ters, and the deed is done. What's
th matter with sotting the alarm
clock for 8 o'clock Monday even
and call a meeting at the
town hull? Who socouds the mo
ABSENTEE CITIZEN'S I
Why do not. Mr. Carnegie and
other advocates or universal
peace, s:!^s the Cleveland Leader,
address their efforts to the
elimination'1 of one of the most pro
li'ic causes of war—thit ancient
doctrine in pursuance of which
Groat Britain, for example, feels
lurself compelled to guarantee the
lift and property of every British
citizen who wanders over the globe,
even to the extent of sending war
ships and troops to piotect or
avenge him?
Is this not an appropr'ate time to
question whether it would not be
vastly better for all mankind to lot
t'.iose who prefer to stray away
from tlieir own countries do so at
C.ioir own risk? And could any na
tion raise the question more grace
fully than the United States?
America has had much experi
ence in this matter. Many years
ago a New Orleans mob precipitat
ed an international crisis by lynch
ing some Italian laborers, residents
bu». not citizens. Tho presence in
this country of citizens of Japan
has long threatened the peace of the
Pacific. Even now, because tho
United States has failed fully to
protect tho lives of either citizeus
or aliens in Colorado, the Austro
Hungarian ambassador at Washing
ton has been "instructed to take en
ergetic steps for the protection of
il:e 1. ^iiimato interests of Hungari
ans in the United States," and the
Italian press comments with aatis
in upon the signing of an ar
bitration treaty at Washington,

pou rs of Europe, has a deep inter

Jt might seem that, In proposing
at: owners' risk doctrine in connec
tion with foreigners' lives, America
onld be selfishly seeking to save
herself trouble. Yet she has been
known to act vigorously in defense
of wandering Americans, as in
China and some African states, and
her present lenity toward Mexico—
•vl.ere more than 150 Americans cit
izens have been murdered and
many more stripped of "heir prop-1
erty—advertises her equanimity
and disinterest to all the world.
Repealing the old law of might, j
calling off the doctrine that tho j
flag follows the emigrant, would,
o course, provoke opposition. But i

The Englishman will get all

he can have it at close range. It

Alaskan Residents Must Learn
The Importance of Keeping
Tbeni Well.
Perfect health means that every
organ of the body is perioimiug its
function properly.
Perfect health cannot he enjoyeil
if the kidneys are weak and dis
ordered.
Thousands testify that Doan's
Kidney Pills have a reviving action
on weak kidneys.
What this remedy has i'oiio in so,
many cases of this kind is the best
proof of its merit
Read the following. Its testimony
gratefully given by a resident of I
this locality:
H. J. Durfee, Bos 349, Lynden, j
Wash., saya: "I was troubled by
my kidneys off and on for years. |
If I caught a slight cold, it always
settled in the kidneys. My back,
to, became very lame, veak and
painful. Finally, on a friend's ad
vice, I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills and in a few days the trouble
left I know many porsons who have
been benefited by Doau's Kidney
Pills."
