MINDED IMPERATIVE
.NEED
The bringing into the city from
Win J haai Bay of Fred Trumpf on a
coiaol&iut charging insanity, only
serves to intensify the Jmpertaive
need of a proper nstitution for tie
e;>re of Alaska's old, respected and
'■liirm prospectors and trail blaz
ers—the brave souls who have ux>
selfishly paved the way into isolat
-d mountainous sections, winding
creeks, hills and valleys und thus
created the aveuues through, which
the countless millions of wealth, have
bj«n obtained and over which un
»cld millions jrill come in the futur
an I who, through neglect, old age
Hud insufficient food, find them
selves, in ther declining years, suf
fering with mental disorders. These
gallant souls jn declining days are
hauled into court upon the issu
ance of processes which in their
vev nature carry the stigma of
ciminality. However it may be
said, ja passng, that such means
are the only ones available to get
a: y action in behalf of. the unfoT
li:uatc sourdoughs, due to the lack
ot' Iu:ids available for the establish
ment oi a sanitarium to which they
could Lt taken, other than pursu
ant to warrants alleging insanity,
or even crimes. It has been paid
that not infrequently have these
unfortunates been charged with
crimes, petty crm.es, to the end
*ha» they could be brought in and
cared for either in jail or at an
rutside sanitarium.
Wiivit a saa reuecuon: in nwi
pu's name, don't we as a Nation,
cwe more to suffering Humanity? It
is tiue that Governor after Govern
or has recommended the establish
ment of such an institution at whic^
these men may be spared for many
• ears if proper medical attention is
administered. A promnent doctor
once testified in the commissioners
oot'i> in an insanity investigation,
concerting one of Juneau's oldest in
habitants, that he was emaciated,
woak ai:d enfeebled due to lack of
wholesome food and proper care,
and that this ■weakened physical
condition was the direct cause, of
mental disarrangement. But the
various recommendations have not
been heeded, and today we are pur
suinj the outrageous policy of ar
rowing our old pioneers, placing on
tium the inevitable stain of of
fiuders of the law, when such is
not due.
It is to be hoped that the time is
not far distant when an insitution
will rear itself heavenward, call
ing •'orth to the Ieelite minded,
"Come, enter herein, and ye shall
find shelter and rest."
Would not Tenakee with its won
derful medicinal waters be an ex
cellent place? It is said that these
old Boula should have a change of
climate. Well, grant this. Then,
?".> to Washington or Oregon and es
tablish such an institution to be
eappcrfed and maintained by the
government, and not hfre them out
to private institutions — Juneau
Dispatch.
"YOU ALWAYS PAY"
(Kansas City Star)
"You alyays EaJ*» >'ou kflOW>'
said the forger, Whitman who was
captured last 'week in. Cincinnati
after years of liberty as a fugitive
from justice.
Suie you do. Whe'her you vio
late man's law, or nature's law,
which is another name for God's
law, you always have to pay, and
the full price, *00. Som$ pay, as
Whitman did, in. dodgng and Bljak
ng through the world Ike a hunt
ed beast, his mind worried, his
a'ter years of liberty as a fugative
look, knowing always that some
where ahead lay the steel-jawed
trao all set and ready.
Some pay with, broken, health,
others with) broken, hearts, some
surrender friends and love; some
give all in life worth) living for;
some caat their conscience to be
gnawed by the wolves of remorse;
some not only, pay their, own share
in full, but ehift part of thq bur
den to »hoir children, and children's
children, even to t.he third and
fourth generation; for the d§ft must
be paid to the last farthing.
The best people of the Island, re
gat dless of sex, sect, uarty or creed,
endorse the action of the mayor and
city council in cleaning up the re
stricted district and closing thd
cribs, although there are some—not
many—who oppose the move on the
ground that it "will hurt business."
About all that can be said jLn, ans
wer to such an argument is that
any business which depends for ex
istence and prosperity on prostitu
tion and on the patronage of pros
titutes is not deserving of life or
liberty.—Dougla3 Island News.
VOLUNTARILY". ASKS
TO BE INCARCERATED.
A man wearing a uarka and with
a mask over his face, who had been
seen on the Valdez^Fairbanks trail
several times, and for whom the
Fairbanks officials were keeping a
sharp lookout, gave himself up to
the marshal recently. He refused
to give his name, but was lated
identified as a man named Heubner,
who had worked on the steamer Re
liance during the summer. He car
ried a riflo when he surrendered
and s'afed that he wished to be in
carcerated for fear he would hurt
somebody. He ig temporarily un
balanced mentally. — Anchorage
Times.
SAYS DUTCH HARBOR IS
PLACE FOR NAVAL BASE
A writeT in the last Century Mag
az)na says that Dutch Harbor is
tne best place in Alaska for a na
val base. He believes it could be
made a veritable Gibraltar and
would be in the proper position for
a war with au Oriental power, while
it would also serve as a base for th
protection of the Matanuska coal
fields and the copper mines of Cop
per river.
ARE YOUR
KIDNEYS WELL?
Many Alaska People Know the Im
portance of Healthy Kidneys
The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day.
.Well kidneys remove impurities.
Weak kidneys allow impurities to
multiply.
No kidney ill should. t>e neglect
ed.
There is possible danger in delay.
If you have backache or urinary
troubles.
1' you are nervous, dizzy or worn
out,
Begin treating your kidneys at
once;
Use a proven kidney remedy.
None endorsed like Doan's Kid
ney Pills.
Recommended by thousands.
Head the following statement.
W. V. Condon, 382 H. St., San
Bernardino, Cal., says: "I think
'he jan-ing and Jolting of the ynag
cn I ric'e is what weakened my kid
neys ai.d caused backache. I could
hardly get on or off the wagon be
cause of sharp pains in the email
of my back. The kidney; secre
tions were too frequent in passage,
causirg me to arise several times
at nigh'. I had dizzy spells, al
so. Doan's Kidney Pills cured the
backache and regulated the action
of my kidneys."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the game
that Mr. Condon had. Foster-Mil

GREATNESS.
Real greatness lies not in be
ing strong, but in the right us
ing of strength, and strength is
not used rightly when it serves
only to carry a man above his
fellows for his own solitary glo
ry. Ho is the greatest whose
strength ccrrias up the most
hearts by th? attraction of his
own.
Columbus and the Gult stream.
It is curious to nolo iu the history of
the gulf stream how great its Influence
has been on the fortunes of the new
world. Before the discovery of Amer
iea strange woods and fruits were fre
quently found on the shores of Europe
and off lylug Islands. Some of these
were seen and examined by Columbus,
and to his thoughtful mind they were
continuing evidence of the fact that
strange lauds were not far to the west
ward. These woods were carried by
the gulf stream aad by the prevailing
winds from the American continent, so
that in part the gulf stream is respon
sibie for the discovery of the new
world.—London Telegraph.
Power of Fiattirv.
Wife tin the cafet—George. that
brute over there has been staring at
me for half an hour. Somebody ought
to kuock his foul head off George
(to stranger,)-What do you mean, sir,
by ogling my wife? Stranger (calmly)
—I'll admit that I have taken inori
than passing notice of the lady. A.
more than ordinarily pretty woir.au
always attracts my attention. Wife—
Now, George, don't make a fool of
yourself and start a scene in here.
The gpntlemau evidently meant no
harm.—Puck.
Whiskers of Felines.
Cats' whiskers are absolutely neces
sary to them, according to the Popular
Science Monthly For the whiskers
are as long as the cat's head is wide,
and the head is as wide as the body,
ao wherever* the whiskers ko there
may the cat go also.
The tiny, delicate hairs grow from
glands and are nerved to the utmost
sensibility. No matter how light the
touch of the hair against an obstacle,
it is felt iiist'iuily by the cat. As cats
prowl much at uight the whiskers
serve them belter than eyes.
John O'Groat's House.
I John O'Groat's house was formerly
| situated on Duneiinsby head, the most
northerly point of Great Britain. It
. took its name from JoUu of Great, or
j Groot, and his brothers, who came. It
| is said, from Holland about 1-IS9. The
j expression so often heard. "From John
' O'Groat's to Land's End," means the
\ whole length of Great Britain from
north to south, like the other ex
I pression, "From DJiu to Heersheba,"
! meaning the entire length of Palestine,
