Since Pennsylvania is the second state in the union in wealth and pop
ulation and has long been a leader in influence in national legislation, par
ticular interest attaches to the appointment of a successor to the late Boies
I enrose. The new Incumbent. George Wharton IVpper. of Philadelphia,
is a man of nation-wide reputation as a lawyer and economist and an ng
rressive flshter for American nationalism. Although he has always been
a republican his activities in politics have been in minor capacities, lie
i* a close friend and supporter of Theodore Roosevelt and has many of
the characteristics of that famous leader.
A hard worker in his profession as a lawyer, he has found ample time
to devote to physical exercise and athletic training, lie spent two summer
vacations as a "rookey" at the riattsburg Training camp and at the out
break of the war in Europe was one of the most vigorous advocates of na
tional preparedness.
Senator Pepper is 54 years of age, looks younger, and yet has accom
plishments to his credit that might well indicate a greater age. In col
laboration with Dr. William Draper Lewis he compiled a series of volumes
comprising a digest of Pennsylvania laws and i irt dec. skins. He was one
of the most active members of a commission that drafted a new constitu
t-on for Pennsylvania; he has served for a nuniln r of years as a trustee of
the I'niversity of Pennsylvania, and has given much time to the develop
ment of the public school system, particularly in securing adequate com
pensation for teachers by which mea:;s 'i ' er standards are attained lie
was one of the leaders in the campaign for adoption of equal suffrage and
declared to be the foremost and most active layman In the Protestant
Episcopal Church. He will be rem* inhered as the counsel for GitTord Pln
> hot In the great contest between Pint! ot :itid I'allinger over public land
|KiIic|es.
V. en President Wilson propo d tL.it the t ailed States become a
member of the League of Nations. Mr |v- r oi.atiized and headed a na
tional movement devoted to •"Preservation of American Independence," and
delivered addresses in all parts of the lulled States in support of his views,
of his personal characteristics i!; 1" !;•! ;a North American says
"Senator Pepper dominates those with whom he comes in contact by
his sheer intellectual force and his thoroug'i understanding of subjects up
on which he declares himself. Yet oittstantlirg traits of his personality
are modesty, a winning kindliness of in inner, tolerance, and patience He
has i '-senilis for composing the diflen • > s which create antagonisms of
opinion between men or groups. In pair otism. intellectual aqulpmcnt.

In a recent talk given liy Commissioner ot Education L. D. Henderson
:o the Juneau high school student body, the fact tiiat the conduct of stu
dents outside the uchool be creditable and proper was emphasized. It is
well for all of us to take this verv seriously because our actions outside
although seemingly innocent, may give false impressions and create an
opinion of which we would be ashamed if we were to hear of It.
Tin? conduct of boys and girls in school may be very estimable, but af
ter s< ool. if they go out on the street corners and stand talking and tak
ing up room which other people need, and at night go to the moving pic
ture theater and enjoy themselves by being noisy and causing disturbances
and discomfort to the other people, it shows they have not much respect
for the public, and do not realize what the resluts will be. Public privi
leges such as the library are often abused in just this way. while people
wonder where the training of the students comes in.
Furthermore. it is not only our own reputation which we injure, but
that of our school. The teachers do their very best to have classrooms ap
t-ear orderly and quiet, and show us the value of good conduct. They have
us all work together for the common good in school, so why shouldn't we
do the same outside? It is very evident that we can get nowhere in o::r
struggle for knowledge unless we do all work together. Just so in other
things of life, we art- only taking that much longer to accomplish our task
in life, and hindering others from doing so.
It may be seen. then, that the public judges our school largely by oar
words and deeds outside of school. By keeping this constantly in mind we
should endeavor to make it our first duty to ourselves and our school to
so deport ourselves everywhere as to reflect only credit and praise on dear
old Juneau high school.—Juneau Empire.

A BIT OF ADVICE
l'irsl—IHm't IVlny. Socoitd—Pon't
t-.xperiniont.
If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; it you rest
poorly and are languid in the morn
ing; if the kidney secretions are Ir
regular and unnatural In appear
ance, do not delay, in such cases
the k.dneys often need help.
Doan's Kidney PlUs are especially
prepared for kidney trouble—they
are recommended by thousands. Can
residents desire uore convincing
proof than the statement of a citi
zen of this locality?
Geo. Nawottny, butcher, 1543
Grant SL, Bellingham, Wash., says:
"1 suffered from laice back and kid
ney trouble. At times when 1
stooped I could hsj-dly straighten
because of the severe pains which
caught me in the small of my back.
I 7os subject to pa;ns in the back of
my head and spells of dizziness and
my kidneys didn't set right. I saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised in
the paper and one box knocked the
pains out of my back and head.
They also rid me of the dizziness
and made my kidneys well."
Price 60f, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Xawottny had. Foster
