rillVATK CITIZEN'S Dl'TY
llux'f.ifo X V., -'s one of the
cities 'hit is making suecial ef
fort to got in the habit of keeping
spick *ud span; and incidental to
the work which is bein:; done in an
official capacity the Buffalo News
calls r.itcnlon to the fact that muni
cipal cleanliness is not achieved by
ordinance alone. TUo contention is
that it is the private citizen more
than anyone else who can keep the
city with a clean face.
Th.n contention is a sound one be
vend luy doubt; and it is one that
the private citi2en of this town
nti<ht ponder to th-j immense ad
vantage ot the community. It is
'.ot that conditions are intolerable in
that rt^pfit but they ?rr not near
ly do creditable as we could make
them, ai'd we ought to be proud
to have them.
I. KT I S B!s I IIH
Ketchikan Progressive. The Ju
if.iu Empire wants t:s to believe
*h::t the entire credit lor the rail
road that is about to b* construct
ed in Alaska is due to the presi
dent. and says: "Alfter all >s
said and done. he. tPiesldent Wil
son) above all other men, is Al
aska's great benefactor, with the
•;id of Secretary L«uxe, senators so
•uid so. and Wickershaiu." On the
• outrary, if the Empire reverse that
:.d say that Wickerrliam is above
.ill other men the real benefactor
<Alaska, it'll be ail right with
most of us. If we wish to be fair, we
should admit that it was Wicker
sham who made the president un
derstand the necessity of a pov
t rnraeni railroad in Aihska. It was
'vVickersham who drew and glue
;he attention of the lawmakers un
to Al;iska. It was Wlckersham who
made the majority of the lawmak
ers see the advantages of the pro
posed reairoad iu the same light
that he did, and with incon
:rovertible facts, logically presented,
rompelled them to pass the act for
the appropriation of the necessary
capital. It was Wickersham—with
'he generous as well as valuable
aid of the president, Secretary
i*ane and others who made our
dream come true. Let us be fair
with our delegate, he has done a
sreat deal for Alaska.
NO EDITORS IX JAIL
The following paragraph is pub
lished in the Prison Mirror of the
Minnesota penitentiary:
"Why is it that frcm the first in
ception of our oapsr 10 the present
time we have never had an editor
to sojourn In our midst? Other pro
fessions have been well represent
ed. Of preachers w> have had suf
ficient to have furnished subsistence
to an Atrican chief for a year; of
Joctors sufficient in number to de
l opulate a state; ai:d of lawyers
enough to establish a good sized
colony in hades. Kut editors—not
one."
Come to think of it, iti those so
cial items which treat of prison ev
ents and occasions pertinent there
to, we recall the absence of the edi
tor from the list of "those present."
It describes a condition that ap
peals now as a matter of course;
although wo might not have given 1
a second thought weru it not for
the rather plaintive complimen
which the Minnesota prison paper
pays the craft.
We distinctively disavow the
Pharisaical attitude. Editorial mod
esty will not countenance standing
in the market place, and thanking
God that editors are not as other
it en. And even if that were not
so, editorial activity doer not admit
c* the loafing and boosting stuff.
One of the earnest Sunday
school recollections is that old pro
verb about the activity of the devil
to supuly his particular sort of oc
cupation for idle hands to do. With
the editor it is a case of work or he
does not eat. and go about among
his fellows in presentable condi
tion. This, coupled with the in
nate modesty of the t; il e, answers
the Prisou Mirror's question com
pletely and, we hope, satisfactorily.

A Xew Back for an Old One. How
it Can tit' Done in Alaska
The back a^hes at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, mak
ing you weary and restless; pierc
ing pains shoot across tl>o region
of the kidneys, and .again the loins
nre so lame that to stocp is agony.
Xo use to rub or apply a plaster to
the back if the kidneys aro weak.
You cannot reach the cause. Al
askan resiednts would do well to
profit by the following example:
John I. Conner, prop, printing
3!;0p, 845 X. Seventeenth St., Sa
lem, Oregon, says: "My back got
weak and sore and my kidneys did
not act as th<>y should. At times
I could hardly straighten. Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me relief and it
*cok them only a short time to rid
me of kidney trouble. I publicly
r-ndorsed them several years ago
I ind am glad to do so again."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
