"PIT OVER" IS RIGHT
in speaking of the session of the
democratic divisional convention for
this U^trict held la Juneau last
week, the Juneau l>aily Dispatch
says chat after one of the hardest
battles ever put up on the floor of
an Alaska convention, during which
the opposing forces expressed con
siderable feeling and bitterness,
Senator j, M. Tanner of Skagway,
assisted by Chewk of Juneau and lie
fctrath of Sitka, "put over" Sve.C
Beth of Wrangeil, as the nominee of
the convention for senator.
"Put over" is the proper term,
no doubt, for we can recall several
occasions when the senator from
Skagway has tried to "put over" |
schemes of one sort and another,
on the people of the territory as
Well as upon the people of his
home-town, some of which were sue
cessful but juany of which were not.
At thg above mentioned conven
tion, Mr. Tanner was one of the
platform committee and was instru
mental in inserting a plank into
that document which is too plainly
a bid for the support of the women
voters of the territory to blind
their eyes to the significance of the
fact that if they endorse it at the
polls they will have to swallow the
whole democratic ticket—senators,
representatives, and incidentally,
the democratic nominee for delegate
to congress.
Wo have too much faith in the
Intelligence of the women of the
territory to believe that they will be
taken in by this bit of political
buncombe, any more than were those
of Skagway at the last municipal el
ection when this same gentleman
promised them that U he were re
jected as a member of the town
council, he would cut the tax levy
of the town for the ensuing year in
half, but failed to explain how he
could single handed and alone bring
about such desirable an end.
We have no doubt that Mr. Tau
ter will endeavor to "put over"
anything he can at any time he
csn, but of his ability to "pnt
over" a measure that .will result in
th« return of any one but James
.Wlckergham as a delegate to con
greas from this territory we have no
apprehension whatever.
* PICKING IT COLONIES
i
As soon as Great Britain de
clared war upon Germany it
became certain that thj outlying
possessions of the German Empire
would gradually be taken by Brit
ish forces, or other expeditions in
the Interest of the allies. The only
doubt was as to the time and the
method.
This work Is going on. German
Samoa has been surrendered to a
force sent out from New Zealand.
The Japanese hare destroyed the
German wireless station on the
telanj known as Yap, in the west
ern part of the Pacific ocean. They
are •krwly beginning the siege of
Klo-Chau, on the Chinese coast.
Togoland, a small German depend
ency on the west coast of Africa,
has fallen to British troops from
the Gold Coast colony. Australia
will doubtless take German New
Guinea before, long and the Union
of South Africa has ample forces
U> selge and hold German south
west Africa and German East Af
rica.
Cut off from help by sea, these
possessions of Germany are in a
hopeless position.. Their fate is in
evitable, if the war lasts long.
They are held hy little garrisons
often composed chiefly of natives
under German officers. They will
be bravely defended against any
forces which can be resisted with
lie slightest hope of success, out
they cannot be saved.
Germany's consolation lies in the
fact that their ultimate disposition
may be settled on European bat
tlefields, and it helps a good dei-.l
to kaow tfcat with the exception of
Kiao-chau they are of very little
value. The loss of all of them cau
not weaken the German Empire
within its own borders or agaiust
Its present Xoos.

WE ARE ABOUT TO EMERGE
FROM A PSYCHOLOGICAL
DEPRESSION. OUR SUC
CESSFUL EMERGENCE IS DE
PENDENT ON MANY THINGS, NOT
THE LEAST OF WHICH IS A DE
CREASE IN PSYCHOLOGICAL LEG
ISLATON—THAT IS, LEGISLATION
FOR POPULAR EFFECT AS OPPOS
ED TO LEGISLATION DIRECTED
TO A REAL PUBLIC GOOD.
I am not opposed to a federal
commission with power to direct the
enforcement of federal laws, includ
ing the Sherman act, when the po
litical short term attorney general
fails in his duty. We should have
in every state people's supervisors
to compel the enforcement of the
laws, anJ 1 would be glad to see Ihe
enforcement of an effective blue sky
law directed by responsible state of
ficials.
THE REAL ISSUE TODAY IS NOT
GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSON.
IT IS THE PRESERVATION OF THE.
EFFICIENCY OF SUCH GOVERN
MENT ON THE ONE HAND BY
CONFINING IT TO THE GREAT OB
JECTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AC
TION AND THE PRESERVATION
OF DEMOCRACY ON THE OTHER
HAND AGAINST THE UNWAR
RANTED ENCROACHMENT OF EX
ECUTIVE CONTROL OVER THE
INDIVIDUAL. DEMOCRACY CON
SISTS IN THE ESSENTIAL LIBER
TY OF THE INDIVIDUAL.

A .New liack for an Old One. How

The back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across tho region of the
kidneys, and again tho loins are so
lame that to stoop is agony No use
to rub or apply a plaster to the
back if tho kidneys are weak. You
cannot reach the cause. Alasican
residents would do well to profit
by the following example.
John I. Conger, prop, printing
shop, S45 N. Seventeenth St., Salem,
Oregon, says: "My back got weak
and sore and my kidneys did not
act as they should. At times I
could hardly straighten. Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me relief and it
took them only a short time to
rir" me of kidney trouble. I public
ly endorsed them several years ago
a-d am glad to do so again."

simply ask for a kidney remedy—ge
