GAME LAW
Is Defended By Congressman
 Cushman.

Congressman Cushm n, in speaking last week on the bill providing a game law for Alaska, said:
 ''l state here and now-lnd ] wish to give all the emphasis to lt that this oeea' sion will permlt-that Alaska contains the only strip of land on this continent over which the American f,g floats that does not have law for the protection of game birds and game anlm ils' IL Is the bit Of territory between the Rio Grante and the North Pole thlt has been so neglected bv the llw.msklng power, that they have not even game law.
 "The fact i.self shows the necessity of some kind of legislation on this subject.
 "AS Is we'll known to all of you, live In the state of Washington, the of this Unlon that Is closest to Alaska, and when say the state that Is closest to Alaska, mean it not onlv In a geographical sense, but commercially and industrially and tl- nancl1lly, and In every other sense there exists bond of sympathy between Alaska and the state of Washington. They have no representative on this floor, and they expect the representatives of the state of Washington to speak for them and demand proteetlon for their interests This am both proud and happy to do."

Politics Ias a Poison For Yirtl


You cannot purify politics. Such
thought would be self-delusion. All
hope must come from source beyond
the ballot box. The best reformers
soon become the worst politicians at
the mandate of an inexorable law.
More harmful advice Is impossible

and say that it shall not be l believe
the reformation is begun aud that ere

our public honor as fungus growth
that is sapping its substance and new
life injected into it.
The inexorable law that makes cor
rupt politicians of the best reformers
Is only the law that a man is no better
than his cherished friends. We're
these reformers to keep their distance
from the cOrrupting power instead of
jure them. If you coddle serpent it
will sting you, but fight it with nat

politics has poison for virtue, deadly
as the upas tree, but in hostility your
honor will never be blackeued by
touching it, your soul eau never com.
within the circle of its deadly, wither-
ing influence. Fight it and you will
have upon your side the Everlasting
Arm, with which there can be no de-
feat. Then mlngle III politics for its

up and combat successfully with the

they be? For the task requires men.
Broad shoulders with clean hands and

POLITICALLY SAID THAT
EVERY MAN HAS A PRICE
VIGOROUS PAPER CONTRIBUTED BY HEN.
Rf orion ON POLITICAL CORRUPTION.
Makes a Plea For the Purity Of Politics and
Urges the Citizens TO Take More Ia.
tereSt in the Ballot.

Mr.. EDITOR:-In discussing politi-
cal corruption one often hears the re-
mark that every man has his price. To
thls assertion there can be no mistak-
EN- meaning. 1t says that every man is
willing to exchange his honor for po-
sltlon and wealth. 1t says that every
person is willing to forsake his con
science and self-respect to attain these
ends. | cannot-I will not believe
that this is the truth, even since all
must acknowledge that circumstances
seem to Justify the assertion. Ger
talnly there is much, too much dishon-
esty among public men aud profess
slonal politics is rotten to the core.
L believe that over fifty millions of
dollars are used in directly buying a
large part of the vote cast at every
Presidential election. Even nations
are not above these petty meannesses.
Their justice can often be swayed. their
fav II bought with price. Neverthe.
less this Is not sufficient reason why
the shame of all humanity in general
should be dragged INTO the considera-
ton. He who says that 'every man
has his price" is welcome to the pride
he takes in being too cute to be
caught. OF his dishonesty there is no
question, but all men are not like him
self. To prove his statement false. a
protest rises from the marts of busi-
ness and the halls of devotion, from
the deep caves of nature and the cata-
combs of death. There are thousands
III this present day within the limits
of fAmerica-thOusands who have not
kissed the golden calf nor bent the
knee to Baal. Moses refused to be
called the son of Pharoah's daughter.
and the Children of the Captivity of
Judah chose rather to be thrown INTO
a fiery furnace or lions den than do
what they believed was wrong. But
We need not go far back into the past
and search Scripture and ancient
chronicles for examples of patriotism
We can find them near home in our OWL
land. Strains of the purest sentiment
that ever animated the ideal man are
cleaning to us from every page of oul
country's history.

Family cares and duties DO not weigh
down the we'll woman, and the children
are never in her way. But when the
womanly health fails, and there is con-
slant struggle with weakness and pain,
household duties are a burden almost
past bearing, and children are a cease
less annoyance and worry.
Weak women are made strong and
sick women are made we'll by the use of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It
establishes regularity, dries disagreeable
drains, heals inflammation and ulcera-
tion and cures female weakness.
Sick women are invited to consult DR..
Pierce by letter free. All correspondence
strictly private and sacredly confidential.
Address DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y.
"I had been ailing some time, troubled with
female weakness 'writes Mrs. VIM. H. Johnson
OF Avondale, Chester Co., Pa "Every month
would have to lie on my back. tried many
different medicines and nothing gave me relief
until began DR.. Pierce's medicines, using two
bottles of Favorite Prescription and two of
Golden Medical Discovery These medicines
have cured me. When I began your treatment
l was not able to do very much, but now do
the work for my family of nine, and feel better
to-day than l have for a year. thank YOU
doctor, from the bottom of my heart, for well
do know that you are the one who cured me-"
"Favorite Prescription has the testi-
rnony of thousands of women to its COM
plete cure of womanly diseases. Do not
accept an unknown and improved sub
stitute in its place.
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best laxative for family use.

81 an Not Worth Purchasing"

81 am not worth purchasing" said
grand old General Reed, when offered
wealth and position for his influence.
II am not worth purchasing, but such
as l am the King of Great Britain is
not rich enough to buy me-" This un-
swerving old patriot was but one of
many who took part in the throwing
off of England's rule and instituting
the present government. This task
which they successfully completed
continues to excite the admiration of
the world. 1t stands without parallel
as the accomplishment of united peo-
pie. 1t would have been impossible
had not large numbers of the people
of the common people been grounded
in their own honor and self-respect,
so that the Kings favor could not daz-
zle them, his gold could not buy them.
Not only this, but America can
boast of sons who have drunk deep at
the filthy pool of politics itself and
yet remained conscious to high ideals.
l say this with due respect to the state
ment kindred to the one that this is
written to disprove, namely: that an
honest politician is an impossibility.
There is in my mind a man who was
in public service fifty years and never
once attempted to deceive his country
men, who refused to withdraw his sup
port of an unpopular measure because
he deemed it more worthy to be right
than President.
And now will any one renew the as
sertlon that every man has his price? l
believe that if they have, the price of
some of them is beyond human con-
ception. That not dollars, nor posi-
tion, nor anything that is less than an
assurance of eternal life could induce
them to clog their conscience or sway
their opinions a hairs breadth. Poll
ties is degraded, not because every
man has his price, but because those
politicians have, who were lured into
public life merely by the lust of office.
There was time in the days when
America was young that the citizens
ran our government, but now they
hold aloof and let corruption rule SUI
preme.
The Saloon Power and Office Holders.
While the temperance lecturer and
the minister are raving from the plat
form or composing a sermon the sa-
loon power and the office holders are
nursing the ballot-box. They control
the primary elections and select the
men for both tickets, yet the people
wonder on election day why such bad
men were nominated. The citizen
casts his ballot and considers his
whole duty done, and whichever side
wins the saloon and political machines
are still in power. Yet the universal
advise is that the citizens take no fur
ther interest in politics than this.
Ltately one of our newspapers said:
"Young men, touch politics on your
peril. Run from it as you would from
the putrid corpse of leper. 1t h as a

who stopped here and made an inves-
tigation Of conditions, on his way to

a report Of his findings as to Hawaii.
Griffith declares that cattle have done
vast damage TO the forests, killing the
underground so that the trees have
died, with the result that the rainfall
and water supplies have been much
affected. He recommends that the
high forest areas be fenced and cattle
kept out of them. Unless this is done
he says that there will be a serious

from bare land the rain all runs into

were prepared by the Superior Board of
Health, and are founded upon the
authority given the Governor by the
statutory enactment of the last 1egis-

to prescribe and regulate health and
sanitary measures The rules are ex-

put speedy end to glanders and other
