WICKERS HAM SURE WINNER
E. R. Hunter, whq had been with
the Alaska government railroad
survey in the Susitna valley during
the past summer, passed through
here recently on his way outside.
While the boat waa laying over iu
Juneau a representative ot the Daily
Alaskan Dispatch interviewed ilr.
Hunter as to his opinion of the po
1 tical situation to the westward as
between Mr. Wiekeraham and Mr.
Bunnell in their race for the posi
tion of delegate to congress from
Alaska.
Mr. Hunter said;
"There is nothing to it but Wlck
ersham around Seward and all
through the Susitna valley. I talk
ed with a lot of t*ie old timers and
they are stronger than ever for
Delegate Wickersham. If that
part of the country is any indica
tion of his vote elsewhere, he will
have a landslide.
"In some of the towns the kid
glove politicians are trying to swing
the business elemeut and saloons
against him, but I have an idea,
from what waa told me, that they
will have pretty slim pickings. In
any event, you take it from me,
that all cf the boys iu the bills are
strong for Wickersham."
The victims of that Chicago fire
works factory could not have been
any worse off in Antwerp or Paris.
The press censors w*U more than
earn their pay if the Turk ever
gets to issuing war bulletins.
France is reported happy with
out absinthe and Russia without
vodka, but Virginia has not yet
tried getting along without juleps.
The latest thing not worth while
to worry about is '-he possibility
that Huerta left anything in hi3
wine cellar.
There are not going to be any
rivers of doubt on the map of
Europe after the great powers get
through with it.
Few will think it queer that,
since that transatlantic aeroplane
was needed on the other side in
such a hurry, it didn't fly aeross.
Do your troubles seem almost
more than you can bear? Then
think of the football players who
have to face the Michigan team—
and cheer UP.
The Krupps have provided $7,
500,000 of the German war loan.
Seems like taking money out of
one pocket, putting it into another
and in due time collecting again.
Now is the season when some
men talk largely of "support
ing" certain candidates when their
cwa support consists of the board
ers or washing their wives take in.
As election day draws near the
scones of conflict look more and
more as though dumdum bullets
are being used.
In order to make doubly sure
the special war tax would be paid
exclusively by the Northern peo
ple why didn't congress levy it en
tirely on snow shovels?
Now we know why Senator La
Follette is so quiet. Wisconsin's
Increase in population is only 13
per cent and Its increase in taxa
tion 350 per cent.
One of the unhappy effects of
the war will be the necessity, after
it is over, of unlearning most of
the interesting things we now j
know about it

Do the right thing al the right

Act quickly hi time of danger.
Ia time of kidney danger Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of evidence of their worth.
Mrs. M. E. Cook, State St., Sed
ro Woolley, Wash., says: "I strain
ed my back while lifting and it
lame and weak for a long time. 1
had sharp shooting pains in my
back, and if I stooped k was hard
for me to straighten. It was also
hard for me to get up from a chair
I was bothered with too frequent
passages of the kidney secretions
at times, then again they didn't
pass often enough. I doctored, but
got no better, and finally I decid
b i *o try Doan's Kidney Pills. After
I had taken a few doses, I found ;
they were helping me and I contin-1
ued using them until I was fixed up
in good shape."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply- ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Cook had. Foster-Milburn
