INVITATION* TO THE PRESIDENT
Tiic action of tho town council
last night la adopting unanimously
a resolutioa exteuding an Invita
tioa to President Wood row Wilson
to visit Skagway during his contem
plated tour of tha Pacific coast
states next March, was a commen
dable action looked at from any
point of view and wiil convince Mr.
Wilson, even though ho fails to
accent, that the people of this part
if Alaska are loyal American citi
zens and fully appreciative of his
efforts in their behalf to advance
the material interests and hasten
the development of this great do-'
maiu.
We believe that every town in
the whole of Alaska will heartily
join in the movement inaugurated
in Juneau a few nights ago and
adopted by Skagway last night, and
' hat even in the remote and in
accessible districts, where it is ut-1
ivrlv out of the question he should ;
visit at that time even though he'
accepted the invitation of the towns
on tl.e southeru coast, the glad hand
of welcome will be extended to him
across the impassable barriers of
glacial crevasse, enow-dad moun
tain range and over tho brc\d bos-j
om of the Pacific into that land of
almost perennial sunshine where I
the Golden Gate will be thrown wide
to the nations of the earth to ex- |
hlbi: to the admiratioj and plaudits
of mankind all that is best, most j
useful and most beautiful in arts j
and science as well as In commer- ,
c:al and Industrial pursuits.
IS VILLA LOSING?
The Bryan-Wilson policy iu j
.Mexico has been founded, for j
mauy mouths, udou the belief that (
Villa- was the strongest military
chieftain In Mexico and that he
would surely prevail over all his j
enemies and rivals. He must beat
"hern all if the administration's
course is to have even the dubious
justification of superior force.
And now it begins to look doubt
ful whether or not Villa can keep
up the record of victories h§ has
made Late reports from Mexico
tell of important successes for the
followers of Carranza. It is cer
tain that they have taken the large
city of Puebla. It is claimed by
(.'arranzista agents in this country
'hat they haTe also captured San
Luis Potoei and now Torreon, in
the district where Villa lived many
years and where ha won the hard
est fought battles on his way down
from the American frontier to the
Mexican capital.
Villa himself does not seem to
be active in the field. He appears ,
to find Mexico City too alluring, as J
many another Mexican rebel did j
before Villa's day when success j
came to his arms. And it has j
often seemed, in Mexican civil |
•vara, that to hold the chief city of
the republic was sure to unite
against the leader in possession all
the elements of discontent and
revolution in the country.
The robber chief of Chihuahua
may prove an exception to this
rule. He may crush all of his foes
and entrench himself in power. It
is still possible but he must bestir
himself. Just now the tide seems
to be running against him.

New York's new state superintend
ent c? public works, sayB he doesn't
know any New York politicians.
Rut he soon will.
A woman has been made chief of
ihe Darrowville, O., volunteer fire
department. It Is to be presumed
that she has the necessary vocabu
lary.
Still it might bo argued in be
half of subways that passengers
are seldom killed by automobiles
•while stepping on or off cars.
Apparently all that was needed
to give the desired Impetus to the
buy-a-bale movement was a little
contraband of war tucked snugly
inside.
General Joft're is said to wear
pajamas most of the time, being ,
too busy to dress. Tiia inference
seems to bo that he is never too t
busy to undress.
New that an American ship load
ed with cotton has been detained,
whatever happens cannot be laid
exclusively at the door of Standard
Oil. J . ' ,
In a less scholarly man than
President Wilson the use of the ex
pression "female suffrage" might
be excused as inadvertent.
But is not blaming Dr. Wilson
for the anarchy in Mexico as bad
as blaming the war in Europe for
the "war tax" in the United States?
Lucky or not, the next time the
equal suffragists appeal to Presi
dent Wilson to support, their cause
will be the seventh.

A Massachusetts man has re

husbands.

One curious result of a foreign inva
sion Is recorded in tlie letters of l'rlnce
Metteruich id Mme. Ue Lieveu. l'rom
Judenhurg, a small town in Styria, the
l'lltue wrote: "The burgomaster here
has been expatiating to me on the
large amount of damage done by mice
to farms In the surrounding district
On inquiring how long they had been
atllicted in this way 1 was told. "Since
the French were here." "Do you mean
to tell me the French brought mice
with them?' I asked. 'No.' replied the
burgomaster, "but they ate so much
bread that they covered our fields with
crumbs, and since then all the mice in
Styria appear to have settled Ivre.'"—

A Xew Rack for an Old One. How

Tho back aches at times with a 1
dull, indescribable feeling, making j
you weary and restless; piercing1
pains shoot across the region of tlio:
kidneys, and again the loins are so
lame that to stoop is agony. No j
use to rub or apply a plaster to j
the back if the kidneys are weak.1
You cannot reach the cause. Alas- j
Kan residents would do well to pro- I
fit by the following example.
John I. Conger, prop, printing
shop, S45 N. Seventeenth St., Salem,
Oregon, says: "Jly back got weak
and sore and my kidneys did not I
act as they should. At times I j
could hardly straighten Doan's Kid- j
ney Pills gave me relief and it took
them only a short time to rid me ;
of kidney trouble I publicly en
dorsed them several years ago and j
am glad to do so again."
