PROTECT NORTHERNERS
Juneau Empire: Not long ago
Vice President Marshall said that
every American dollar would be ex
pended if necessary to protect a
single American life in Mexico. The
seutiwent is one that all Americans
applaud. The administration is fol
lowing the principle set down by the
vice-president with fidelity. A cor
don of battleships and armored
cruisers surround the coast of Mex
ico and now 13,000 armed men are
hanging over its northern border.
The warships aud the infantry, caval
ry and artillery regiments are kept
close at hand and prepared for in
stantaneous action at great expense
to protect the lives of Americans
in that country. Not only are we
spendl i£ vast sums cf money for
that purpose, but we are ready to
risk the lives of the men that wear
their couutry's uniform if it should
become necessary.
But, Mr. Vice-President and geutl
men of the administration, there are
more American lives In jeopardy in
Alaska than there are in Mexico—
and their danger is more imminent. |
T:»lrty-one of them—if we include a
few Canadians imen and women of i
our own blood and tongue) that wer }
within our borders and under the
protection of our flag—were sacrifice
ed a little more than a week ago be
cause the federal government has
meted out its mouev in surveying,
mapping and marking the waters
through which all that come to and
go from Alaska must pass. The ex
penditure of a little of the 'money
and energy that it is costing us to
protect those lives in Mexico would
have saved the lives that were snuf
fed out within a few seconds after
the State of California struck an uu
ckarted rock in the unmarked har
bor of Uambier bay a short time
ago.
i Why not be consistent. The life
of an American in Alaska, where tho
people are developing an American
commonwealth, should be as valuabl
to the country as one in Mexico. If
all the wealth of the nation is be
■ hiud every American .life there,
enough of it should be expended to
make more secure the lives of the
thousauds that live in" Alaska and
that travel up uud down the Anier
icaun Pacific coast.
PRETTY PLAIN GAB
Ttis town, like every other com
munity, is cursed witli a set of lazy,
contemptible idlers, by courtesy call
ed men, .who appear to think that
it is their plivilege to criticize, ad
versely, about everything worth whil
in Seward. T&ese loafers, i who
avoid work as they avoid the plague
limes without number, have cast
senile and impotent reflections on
this paper, which they borrowed from,
some place of business. The Gate
way has borne this abuse from these
relies of humanity as long as it pro
poses to. The next specific instance
that comes under our observation
will subject the cur to a rebuke that
he will loug renumber, and no word
will be minced in expressing our
opinion, either. These gentlemen of
leisure are the same that unjustly
criticizes our public utilities, such
as light and water plant*. They
burn nothing but candles and Bteal
their water from a neighbor's faucet
They are of no benefit to the town,
and the sooner they are:driven, by
force of public opinion, from it, the
better the community will "be.—Se

BEWARE FIRE FIEND
Ruby Record-Citizen: How about
fire protection? Has each owner of
a building in Ruby taken the proper
precautions whereby a calamity may
be averted? If not, he should at
once busy himself. •
How about stovepipes? Have they)
been cleaned lately?
How about safeties? Are they in
good condition?
Are airtonneetfous of pipes made
properly, and are there any rusted
links? 1
There is no better time than the
present to attend to these matters.
These are precautions that every
owner of a building, every merchant
and every householder owes to the
public at large. A little care at this
time may be the means of prevent
ing a serious conflagration.
Make an inspection of these safe
ties, flues, stovepipes, etc., at once,
aud then keep an eyo on them at
all times. It is a duty you owe to
yourself, your neighbors, aud the
balance of the community.
THEY ALL DEMAND IT
Alaska, Like Every Section in the
Union, Receives It. ,
People with kidney ilia want to
be pured. When one suffers the
tortures of an aching back, relief
is eagerly sought for. There are
many remedies today that relieve,
but not permanently. Doau's Kid
ney Pills have brought lasting
results to thousands. Here is proof
of merit from this vicinity:
F. A. Sutton, tent and awning
dealer, Room 6^ Capitol Hotel Bldg.,
Salem, Oregon, says: "I had Kid
ney trouble and rheumatism for ten
years and sometimes 1 was laid up.
Doctors did not help me. Sharp pains
extended through my back and were
most severe in my kidneys and loins.
Often when working, I had to give
up. I lost weight and was . in very
poor health. I had headaches, rest
ed but little at night and did not
know what to do. • On a friend's ad
vice I tried Doan's Kidney Pills
and to my surprise, they brought a
great improvement in!a few days. I
continued to get better steadily. I
got more sleep, my appetite improv
ed and the pains gradually, but
surely left me. After I had used
three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills,
I was in better health than I had
been for ten years and not a sign
of kidney complaint remained. The
cure had been permanent. I gladly
confirm the endorsement I gave
Doan's Kidney Pills several years
ago."

cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,
