EDITORIAL PAGE
THK SLIPPERY SKYKN
It now appears that the determin
ed defense of the seven slippery
senators by the Juneau K>npire has
not been so much for the love of the
dear senators as an endeavor to
combat the chances of Jim Wicker
sham being elected delegate again
next fall. Most of us had not
thought of it in that ligiit
The News has neve." been a
supporter of Wickershan.. However,
we are willing to give where credit
Is due, and we realize that there
are few men in the North who
could have made the tight that our
delegate did for the ra.'lroad bill,
and it is not our iu oution to
withhold from him any part of the
honor which he has justly earned.
Wo also apply the snuii; rulo to
the sovi u senators, but in making
our criticism of their a-.'ts we had
nothing* up our sleeve. V.'e are not
trying to destroy them—to blast
their political future. The people of
Alaska will 110 doubt look after that
part. Now the Empire taxes up the
cudgel again and says: "if they de
sire to re-elect Judge Wiekersham
it is their privilege 10 do what they
can to that end." That lets the
the cat out, and wo now understand
riiat all this fuss 011 tht part of
the Km pi re is directed toward Mr.
Wiekersham, lor fear th.it he will
quietly step in and tako charge of
Alaskan democracy, nnuh to the
disappointment of some others who
would be leaders.—I)out:!; s island
LIFF DIARY OF
,WEAVER
Her Experience Was a Very
Sad One.
NEVER AGAIN FOR MARTHA.
She Brings Shame and Ridicule Upon
Herself—Husband a Willing Ac
complice—They Both Were Taught
a Lesson That Will Last Them Their
Entire Lifetime.
[Copyrighted. 10U. t»y Thomas J. Sullivan I
Do uot judge from mere appearances,
for the light laughter toat bubbles on
the lif often mantles "ver the depth
of sadness, and lhe serious look may
be the sober veil that covers a divine
[Hsace and joy. The bosom may ache
beneath diamond brooches, and many
a blithe heart dances under coarse
wool.
Assuming the above to be true, we
will proceed to tear a page from the
life diary of Mrs. Weaver and present
it to our readers.
That New Suit.
"What am I going to do about that
new suit 1 must have";" said Martha
Weaver to her husband as he came in
from work one evening.
"Why is there any question about
that? Go to Hopkins & Co. and get
what you ueed. If you need a suit get
it," answered her husband.
"I have looked there," replied
Martha, "but they haven't anything
that I want. I just need a simple suit,
but I want good material, and it must
be neatly and well made, one that I
could U9e for almost any occasion. I
would prefer a ready made suit, but
those that Hopkins & Co. have ap
pear to be made of poor, flimsy mate
rial, and they are decked out with such
cheap, flashy, dowdy trimming that I
Just cannot bear to wear them," replied
Martha.
The False Step.
"Well, what do you want to do—run
into the city and get you a suit?"
asked John.
"No. That does not suit me either,
for when I have to pay my fare, my
hotel bill and other incidental expenses
it makes the cost too high and also
takes more time than I can spare for
the purchase of one suit," said Martha.
"Could you not order one? Didu't I
see some mail order catalogues around
here awhile ago?" asked the interested
husband.
"les; I could do that, but I am al
most afraid to risk it. Still, their
styles appear to be good, and the prices
quoted seem reasonable. I have been
thinking about doing that. I wil. look
them up again and see what 1 can do,"
answered Martha.
Martha's Heart Sank.
Martha had little difficulty in "look
ing up" the catalogue, as the house
seemed full of them, and after critical
ly examining the suit pictures a simple
blue took her^/ancy. The description
corresponded with her idea of what she
wanted; the trimming looked neat and
of good quality. Tho price was sntis- ;
factory, so after debating for some lit
tle timq she decided to send for it. A j
4r*ft was forwarded, and the long vigil j
pending the arrival of the suit was as
dejirtgaiuiLUUy1! Johitag upon Martha.

WI Hi1!
Aliiskn, Like Every Sc<tion in
tlio Union, Receives It.
Peoples with kidney ills want to
bo cured. When one suffers the
tortures of an aching b.iclc, relief is
eagerly sought for. Thero arc many
remedies tsday that r;'",ve, but
i'Ot permanently. Doan's Kidney Pills
have brought lasting rtsults to
thousands. Hero is proof of merit
Iroin this vicinity.
F. A. Sutton, tent awing
dealer, Room C, Capitol llo'el Rldg.,
Salem, Oregon, says: "I had kidney
troublo and rheumatism for ten
years and sometimes I w.i>: laid up.
Doctors did Lot help mi. Sharp
pains extended through my back
and were most severe in mv kid
neys and loins. Often wa-'-r work
ing, I had to give up. I lost weight
and was in very poor health. I
bad lieidaohes, rested b.n, little at
night and d'd not know what to
do. On a friend's advice, I tried
Doan's Kidney Pills an J to my
surprise, they brought a ijreat im
provement in a few da .ts, I con
tinued to get better storliiy. I got
more sleep, my appetit3 'mproved
and the pains gradually, tut sure
ly, left mc. After I had used three
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills, I
was in better health th.in I had
been for ten years and net a sign
of kidney co:np!alnt remained. The
euro has been permanent. I gladly
confirm tho endorsement I gave
Doan's Kidney Pills several years
ago."
