INVITATION TO PRESIDENT W1L
SOX.
Ilia decision oX th« Juneau city
council to Invite President Wilson
to extend his first western trip as
President oX the United States to
this territory was an appropriate
th'ug to do. More than once since
his inauguration President Wilson
lias said that he would like to be
able to visit Alaska before the ex
juration oX his official term, ana
there will probably be no more op
portune time for him to gratify thai
desire than during his coining
visit, which will begin when he de
parts from Hampton Roads on a a
American waTshiu March 6.
it would be a most. fitting tiunj
ior President Wilsoa to visit this
territory. He has done more tor
Alaska than any man who has been
ii. public office since the American
was raised over the terriioo
;:i ist>7. He may be appropriate
styled the saviour of Alaska. He
c .me into office finding the people
of many parts of the territory dU
• ouraged almost to the point Oi
despondency. Business was s;au
nant, and those who had bwn wail
ing for better times had all liu; J
abandoned hopg of thtj future. It j
was the interest that President Wil-j
son took la the territory raot;
changed this condition to one ot" j
optimism and activity.
The people of Alaska would givi*
President Wilson a royal welcome if
lie should find it possible to spars |
tao two or threq weeks that wouid
t-e tux-essary for him to visit the |
Alaskan coast, stopping at the prlii- j
clpal Southeastern Alaska and West-!
ward point*.
And, §v$n should the president I
fid it impossible to visit Alaska,
un invitation to do so would no '
doubt T>e appreciated. He, at least,
h is earned that much consideration
from the people of the territory.
Every city council and every com
•ucrcial body along th© Alaska a
coast should join in the invitation.- j
Juneau Empire.
The Dully Alaskan believes tte I
mi've uiauo u.j mc
council in adopting a resolution '.o
'ender the chief executive of tbt
nation an invitation to visit
the remote region for which, during
the short time he has been in of
fice, he has done so much, should
\jj lollowed by every community of
any size along the entire southern
coast of Alaska. As the Daily
Empire says, even should President
Wilson be unable to accept the in
v!tatlon, he is at least entitled t°
all the consideration and courtesy
that can ivossibly be shown him by
the people of this territory.
We feel assured the town
council of Skagway will look
at the matter in the same
li.tht as did the members of
the city council of Juneau and join
with that organization in the invita
tion it contemplates extending to
President Wilson.

THE PRUDENT MAN.
The prudent man always studies
serious'y and earnestly to understand
whatever he professes to under
stand and not merely to persuade
people that he understands it, and
though his talents may not always
be very brilliant they are always
perfectly genuine.—Adam Smith.
The Salt, the Dance.
The word "ball." as applied to a
dancing party, came to be used In the
first Instance from an ancient "ball
play" given In cburcb by the dean and
choir boys of Naples during the Feast
of Pools at Easter At subsequent
dancing parties in Naples the dancers
threw a ball at one another to the
sound v! their own singing. They
whirled about In measured time, and
the sport consisted In loosening hands
in time to cntoh the ball.
Power of the Albatross.
The albatross, the largest webfooted
bird, measuring sometimes seventeen
feet from tip to tip of wing and weigh
ing up to twenty iHiunds. frequently
accompanies ocean steamers from the
Cape to Melbourne, a distance of 5.500
miles, without being seen to rest on the
way

Dochart Spelled Macgregor.
Many of the Macgregors, when their
own name was forbiddeL, took that of
Dochart. This was in gratitude for
the escape of a number of them, who,
being hard pressed, got away by swim
ming the stream that issues from I.och
Dochart. Dean Kanisay h is an anec
dote of a young "Dochart" from Dun
blane. who In being sent to Glasgow
college presented a letter from his min
ister to the iiev. Dr. ileugh of Glas
gow. lie gave his name as Dochart.
but In the letter It was Macgregor.
"Oh," said the doctor, "I fear there Is
some mistake about your identity; the
names don't agree." "Weel. sir, that's
the way they spell the name In our
country."—! onUou Chrouicle.

FAIR EXCHANGE
A X»\v Back for ait OI<l Oue. How
it Can be Done in Alaska
The back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys, and again tba loins are so
lajne that to stoop is agony. No
use to rub or apply a plaster to
the back if tho kidneys are weak.
You cannot reach tho cause. Alas
Kan residents would do well to pro- j
fit by tho following example.
John I. Conger, prop, printing!
shop, S45 N. Seventeenth St., Saletu,
Oregon, says: "My back got weak !
and sore and my kidneys did not
act as they should. At times 1
could hardly straighten Doan's Kid
ney Pills gave me relief and it took !
them only a short time to rid mo
of kidney troublo 1 publicly en
dorsed them several years ago aiul
am glad to do so again."
