have been so damaged or so alter

All oX these causes combine to

the effect of lessening the capacity

AU of these facts, taken into
consideration together, should
give American shipbuilders reason

APPLIES TO ALASKA
Washington, Sept. 7—Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson announced to
day that, owing to an unlocked for
International situation, he will not
be able to make a speaking carn
paigu during the congressional cam
paign this month or next.
The president made his announce
ment in a letter to Congressman
Frank E. Doremus, of Michigan,
chairman of the Democratic cam
paign committee, i* his letter, the
president wrote;
"America is greater than any
political party—America cannot be
properly served by any laau who for
the moment measures his interest
I against her advantage. The time
has coma for great thin-s. These
are days big for the destiny of the
United States as it is for the other
nations of the world. A little wis
dom, a little courage, a little self
forgetful devotion may, under God,
turn that destiny this way so that
great hearts and great natures will
respond. Even little men will 're
joice to be stimulated and guided
by men who set an heroic example
bv staying by their duties regardless
j of their own Individual interests.
"The party will fare well enough
without nursing, if the men who
make it up and the men who lead
it forget themselves to serve a
cause and set a great people for
ward on the paths of liberty and
peace."
In this crucial period of Alas
kan history the president's remarks
apply to Alaska as well as to the
nation. When Governor Swinefor
waa running for delegate to con
gress, he was asked about his
politics and he replied;
"Aly politics are Alaska. I don't
think we should try to build up a
party in the interests of a few of
fice seekers. Alaskans should all
work together in the interests of
Alaska."—X.

To have the pains and aches of
a bad back removed—to be entire
ly free from annoying, dangerous
urinary disorders, is enough to mak
any kidney sufferer grateful. The
following advice of one who has
suffered will prove comforting -word
to hundreds of Alaskan readers.
P. E. Sanderson, 819 First St-,
San Diego, Cal., says; "A severe at
tack of la grippe laid me up for
five weeks. My back got very
painful, lame and weak. My kid
neys were in bad shape. I felt
ail run down. I read about Doan's
Kidney pills and got a box. They
fixed me up all right. Whenever I
have taken cold on my kidneys since
I have used Doan's Kidney Pills.
They have always brought good re
sults."
