THK PATHOS A.NO KIIROB OF IT.
Clarence S. 1-arrow, a really bril
liant man, ami a man who is siu
cere, fiercely siucere, in bis sense
of comradeship >vith all the oppress
ed and needy, declared in a speech
in St. Paul that capital is labor's
eternal enemy and always will be;
that only preachers and newspapers
believe the two can ever be other
than foes.
It is pathetic to see such a man
so give way before the discouraging
facts of life. Mr. Darrow has suf
fered and has sympathized with oth
ers who suffer, lie has been torn
by the injustice of things aud has
become embiUered. He has sur
rendered in the face of facts.
The world is full of meu who have
suffered and been wronged aud yet
«no have remained without hatred
and bitterness. And no matter how
sincere a mail is, once he hates he
is uot so noble a spectacle as the
man who does not hate him.
The great men of thq world arc
the countless thousands who, un
known and unheard of, face life with
patience and with faith, and who,
while waging warfare against huina
ity itself, who believe that the world
turns more aud more toward the
good and the true as men become
braver and wiser. To surrender to
the hard knocks of life is as wrong
as to surrender to the softness of
life.
.Vr. Darrow and many of his
friends . honest though they may be
present the strange spectacle of
preaching humsn brotherhood up an
down the wor'd and furnishing as
its foundation, the idea of hate.
After all, what is it to say that
labor and capital can never be
friendly ? In its final analysis it is
simply to say that the man who has
more than his eighbor is that
neighbor's enemy, and this really
means that whoever .has a dollar
more than another man is the nat
j ural enemy of the other man. This
is the logic of the argument. Does
it not reduce the-world to a pretty
small scale, thus to measure the
fealty of human souls by a few pal
try pennies?
The truth is that a rich man may
be just as loyal a friend, just as
capable of brotherhood as a poor j
man. In the spirit which guides a
man is to be fv>und his real worth,
and when that spirit is hate or in
justice it matters little whether
the possessor of it be rich or poor,
he is not a real man.—St. Paul Pion
eer Press.
The following article, taken from
the lead of the editorial column of
the Ketchikan Mcrning Mail, sounds
greatly like a ante mortem state
ment.
Does it mean'that Ketchikan, wit
all her boaste.l prosperity cannot
come to the relief of a second pa
per. especially if that paper happens
to bo "The Morning Mail" which
from its name would signify that th
Ketchikanners could have it served
hot from the press and enjoy its
cheery news as they partake of
their moruing cup of coffee and hot
cakes.

in our demise. Of course it is
well known that an old printer ac
quires an appetite for running a
measlly old newspaper and hasn't
sense enough to turn his attention
to something else. Now if. we were
up there in Secoudland surrounded
by arctic solitude, free from the gos
siping neighbors, free from that har
rowing sensatio.'i caused by the man
who orders his paper stopped. Think
of that calm, peaceful opportunity
of starving, to death In a hurry.
The exporting industries of Alas
ka are following one on the other
This year the exportation of agricul
tural products was added to the
gold, the fish, the copper, the tin,
the furs, the gypsum and the others.
Next year's plan contemplate the
addition of wood pulp. The kelp
beds are being investigated, and
there is hope yet that coal will be
listed among vhe exports sometime.

People with kidney ills want to
bo cured. When one suffers the
tortures of an aching back, relief
is eagerly sought for. Thero are
many remedies today that relieve,
but not permanently. Doan's Kid
ney Pills have brought lasting
results to thousands. Here is proof
iof merit from this vicinity:
F. A. Sutton, tent and awning
dealer, Room 0, Capitol Hotel Bldg.,
Salem, Oregon, says: "1 had Kid
ney trouble and rheumatism for ten
years and sometimes I was laid up,
Doctors did not help me. Sharp pains
extended through my back and were
most severe in my kidneys and loins.
Often when working, I had to give
up. I lost weight and was in very
poor health. I had headaches, rest- j
ed but little at night and did not
know what to do. ■ On a friend's ad
vice I tried Doan's Kidney Pills
and to my surprise, they brought a
great improvement in. a few days. I
continued to get better steadily. I
got more sleep, my appetite improv
ed and the pains gradually, but
surely left me. After I had used
three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills,
I was in better health than I had
been for ten years and not a sign
of kidney complaint remained. The
cure had been permanent. I gladly
confirm the endorsement I gave
Doan's Kidney Pills several years
ago."
