COAL LEASING BILL INEVITABLE
The coal land leasing bill is in
evitable, says the Juneau Empire.
In shaping constructive legislation
for Alaska the people and the ad
ministration must accept conditions
as they are. Too much time al
ready has been devoted to discuss
ing what might have been had the
Roosevelt and Taft administrations
executed the laws as they found
them on the statute books. "
If is now too late, at least as
far as the Bering river and Matan
uska fields are couctrned, to at
tempt to appropriate the lands un
der the old order of things. The
legally constituted authorities, fol
lowing the narrow construction of
the law adopted and applied by for
mer Secretary of the Interior Fish
er, have decided that nearly all
o* the original claimants of those
coal fields acquiredd no basis of
title to them. Their claims are
barred—whether rightfully or oth
erwise is immaterial 6'. far as the
fact is concerned—and no princi
ple of right or justice could be
served by throwing the lands open
to locacion by people who have had
uo part in their discovery and de
velopment to the point of determin
ing their worth. There is no good
reason why great areas of coal lands
should be offered as a prize, for
swift mushers with st^Ks and pen
cils.
The swernment was left to
choose bee ween but two logical and
practical methods of procedure. Th
lands of proved va'ue could be plat
ted and soid to tho highest bidder,
with proper restrictions against mon
opoly, or '.hey could be leased on
terms tha'vould appeal to men with
the knovledge and capital neces
sary for their development. The
temper of public opiuiou is such that
to attenxp' the first named method
would very likely prove abortive.
With it eliminated the leasing plan
only is less, and 't h;u> been accept
ed by the Administration. The re
sult will be that the lauds will be
made available or those who will
work them.
The Wickersham amendment to
the leasli.'p bill, referred to in Sat
urday's dispatches, rhould be adopt
ed. It is designed to permit peo
ple to obtain title to the lands
in the iuteiior aud elsewhere in Al
aska that contain lignite and other
inferior coals which cannot become
a factor !'i the channels of general
commerce but may become valuable
for local development, ond to per
mit thos..- who discover and develop
new coal fields to obtain ownership
of them under the laws as they now
are. Tae acceptance of this
amendment would serve to make
available the lower grade coals
wherever 'hey could be utilized, pre
vent a rtpetition of the injustices
and waste caused by he eight years'
delay that resulted from Roose
velt's high handed wi'hdrawal ord
ers and tae Taft policy of procras
tination aud inefficiency, and offer
inducementc to others to prospect
for more coal lands and more re
sources that may be capable of de
velopment.
DUTY YOU OWE
YOUR 10WS
[Copyrighted, 1914. by Thomas J. Sullivan.)
Duty is a power that rises with us
in the morning and goes to rest with
us at night, it is coextensive with the
action of our intelligence. It is the
shadow which cleaves to os, go where
we will.
Let us do our duty in our shop or
kitchen, in the market, the street, the
office, the farm, the school, the home.
Just as faithfully as if we stood in the
front ranks of some great battle and
knew that victory for mankind de
pended upon our bravery, strength and
skill.
When we do that the very humblest
of us will be serving in that great
army which achieves the welfare of
the world.
A Dollar Lost.
It should be the slogan of every
rural consumer never to send away
for goods that be can just as well buy
at home. Every time you send a dol
lar to a mail order house that dollar,
as far as you and your community are
concerned. Is practically out of circu
lation. . ■■ g
Tour own home merchant is the one
who helps to keep up your schools,
your churches and your town. He Is
the one who deserves your trade and
not some catalogue house In Chicago
or elsewhere. ,
Goods on Unsecured Promises.
When you have nothing to give in
exchange, to whom do you go for ac
commodation! until some uncertain
time when you can pay?
Do you not always find your home
merchant ready and willing to let hi»
goods go on promises, not guaranteed
notes, but verba! promises, trusting to
your honesty and good luck in meeting
the obligation later?
How many farms have been paid for
by your merchants advancing both the
goods necessary to keep life in the
body aDd cash to meet that dreaded
interest on the mortgage?
Under the same conditions would
the farmer trust the merchant for
months and months with the produce
of his farm, or would he ask for cash
or Its equivalent upon delivery of the
goods?
Not a Robber or Cheat.
We know that the average consumer
does not fee! that his local merchant is
n roblMT or :i cheat: but. like nil hu
mankind. the catalogues and prices of
mail order houses appeal to him, and
be forwards his order and cash with
out considering the injustice lie is do
ing himself. Ills merchant and his
home town.
The catalogues of the mail order
bouse are illumined with pictures to
catch the eye of the unwary. They
range in complexion from a brunette
banana to a blond canary bird They
offer to sell you anything from n phi
losopher's stone to a cypress shingle
sawed out of a sunbeam.
Cash Versus Credit.
It seems unbelievable, but it is nev
ertheless a fact, showing the ^titire
lack of any sense of justice, that many
people regard their local stores as
merely institutions of accommodation
When these people have cash to spend
it goes to the faraway mail order
houses, but when times are dull, when
they are sick or out of work or during
the season when farmers are not turn
ing their produce Into cash, what do
they do? Do they write to the cata
logue house and ask for credit?
If they did do you think they would
get it? Not on your life! Those con
cerns must have cash, must have it in
advance, must have it before you can
even see the goods you buy. The con
sumer sends his money aud then sits
down and waits until the mail order
house gets good and ready to All his
order.
But when home people want credit
or favors of any kind they hustle off
to their home merchant, very obliging
ly order what they want and tell him
to charge it. expecting him to wait at
least from one to six months for his
pay
\ Dealing With Neighbors.
In buying from your home merchants
you deal with neighbors. Buy with
goods before you. Pay when you get
the goods If you so elect. Have goods
delivered free. Return goods if not
satisfactory. Build up your home
gtore
Help build up your own home town
and make of yourself a man worthy of
your day and time Every man should
take pride in being a good American
citizen, and we believe most men do
and that most men are. or at least de
sire to be. but what kind of citizen is
the man who supports an octopus?
Should he not be placed in a class
with the man that Imocks his own
business? That sort of man is invari
ably neither a goi-d neighbor nor a
good citizen.
You should give "Luxor" toilet
articles a trial. See the "Week
End" sets for men and women, 35
cents. Enough for a thorough trial

Make The Stomach
Go Back To Work
%
Then is the Whole System Glad.
Purola Dyspepsia Tablets Will
Quickly Put the Stomach In
Shape.
When the stopaach fails to do its
work properly the whole machino
of man is unstrung and wholly In
capable of work. This condition
obtains from the tiniest nerve to
the big strong "jumping heart.
It is a wise law of nature that
has made the stomach man's strong
est organ, but when it stops work
man ought to realize that it does so
because it can continue no longer.
Purola Dyspepsia Tablets will
certainly give the stomach the re
pair it needs and is always crying
aloud for.
A tablet taken after each meal
will in the course of several houra
become a portion o' the digestive
fluids. It will build uu these fluids.
First iu the stomach, then in
the intestines.
The liver is the storehouse of the
body. Here are assembled all the
reserve fluids of the system and
here the various ingredients of Dys
pepsia Tablets mingle with the
faulty natural juicea aud strength
en them, or if they are too strong
then th-?y will be reduced to their
proper strength and proportion.
Purola Dyspepsia Tablets con
tain a single ingredient, one grain
of which is sufficient to digest
3,000 grains of food. Just think
how gratefully such an element is
received into a body that cannot
digest at all without a new weaken
ing of the already depleted Juices.
Go to Keller Bros. Drug Co this
very day and obtain a box of Purola
Dyspepsia Tablets, price 60 cents. A
week's trial will make you a new
man and your ntomach will go
back to work.
