RLRSEF SENTINEL
THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1905.
THE LAST STRAW.

Secretary of war Taft may be big man; he may be learned man and he may be a well-meaning man Bnt when he places Alaska in the category with the Philip pines, Porso Rico and Hawaii in his proposition of governing them through Bureau at Washington, as he stated in a speech at Hono-. lula, the other day, he does Us district a great injustice. It seems triAe strange that the great men of the United States vii. insist upon chasing Alaska among the "Insular Possessions" of the coun- try. Alaska is not an island. True there are some islands upon it's coast b1t is no more of an ''insu- lase possession than is the state of Washington. on our south. And more than that we do object to be- ing chased in the same line of cit izcnshin as those of the islands secretary Taft mentions. Alaska's citizenship doe not consist of semi barharic sayagcs whose ideas are not much above those of the ami nal. Ii is made up, in the main of men who have come here as pie neers from different states of tic Union, 10 pave the way for what should 5e today one of the grand est states in tie galaxy; if is made up of men and women who in { point ot culture, refinement an@ general knowledge are the peers ot any other section and the superior: of many; it is made up of mel who hava az-i5tcd in the passage 0. .ae bez. .s@s in many of the s.ates; i is composed of men wEc can g;9g saaretary Tatt and other. high in authority pointers on good government, And yet this high o'iicia' would place ,ais section on a plane with GreastTs. Iagos, Hot tentoz arl a.her If f4. 10 have no, l@ .s idea ot liberty and self government as the Alaska h. dian. Secretary Tait could have done the country a greater amount Of benefit by paying Alaska wis 1 and seeing conditions a8they exist than he is doing by crossing the ocean to tell the people of an is land that will prove curse to tic country, that they and Alaskans are to be put under the same dy- nasty at Washington. This is d. most the Hast straw.'

treasurer of the town from which it is sent. What is the use of this? Why burden the clerk of the dis triet court with the task of reeeiy- ing, caring for and returning this money, and often working hard ship upon the people waiti"g for money which the law says belongs to them, but which, underline pres ent rule must take such rounda- bout method to reach its final des- tination? It seems to us that proper way of transacting this bus ness would be for all license mon ies to be paid directly to the town treasurers, who would be empow- cred by the district clerk to deliver licenses furnished by him, and re- port his doings to the clerk; or, better still. do as is the custom in free and untrammeled sections of
 the count-y, give municipalities
 the right to run the business with 1 in their own borders, so long as they do not trample upon the laws of the general government. The flaws need "fxin'o in many par ticulars and the sooner the better. =-=-----==--
 "The town knocker is always an undesirable citizen. One dyspep- .ic fault-fnder can tear down in a Jay more than a steady, devoted business community can rear in a month. A knocker is a menace to the peace and dignity of a people. He is a thorn in the flesh. He is like a court plaster on a girls nose always in sight. And besides, he's the wisest of all the Solomons. He can advise as to the conduct of all lines of business between a fea- ther foundry and the United States postotlice. Verify he hath wisdom, and to spare, but the room occu- pied by the town knocker is much more desired than his presence. ."- Exchange. Of course this doesn't apply to Wran9ell. The town ney- CT had but one of those obnoxious personages and he was transported to a place of universal knockers where things are more congenial for him.
 For the life of us we can't see the use of such caustic sarcasm as that spit out by the Fairbanks News-eyen if it be true. It says; "As for Governor Brady-he Is un- der investigation by federal off cers. What the News has had 10 say about him grows from the be- liet that he is behind the times, that as Judge day said, he is not the man for the place. Sleepy old Sltka with its totem poles, Is repre- sentative of him, and he oi it. For the good of all Alaska, Alaska should have a live man as it's gov ernor, breathing the modern spirit Of advancement and development"
 For some reason Juneau cannot get counted; that is, Editor Frame says that three handred too many are on the list, or to be explicit ,297 as he dug up three more-a Jap, a man in jail and another in the hospital with q sore leg, And this all comes about to determine whe- taar or not liquor licenses shall he f100O or $500.
 pr. c. D. Rogers, whom every old timer in Alaska knew, died at Denver, Colorado, recently. Dr. Rogers was a prominent man, here, having been clerk of the federal court for number of years, and later practicing his profession in Juneau. He was a delegate to the last democratic national conven- ton from Alaska, and soon after left this coast.

Proper Treatment Of Pneumonia,

Pneumonia ia too dangerous a di-
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand A physisi-
clan should always be called, It
should be borne in mind, however,
that pneumonia always results from
cold or from an attack of the grip, and
by the proper treatment of these di-
seaees threatened attack of pneumo-
MIA may be warded off. There is no
question whatever about this, as dur
ing the thirty years and more that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been
used, we hava yet to learn of single
case of cold or attack of the grip hay
ing resulted in pneumonia when the
remedy was used. It is also used
by physicians in the treatment of pnau-
monia with the best results. Or. W.
j. Smith of Sanders, Ala, who is also
druggist. says of IT: 1T have been
selling Chamberlain Cough Remedy
and prescribing it in my practice for
the past six years used it in case of
pneumonia and have always gotten the
best results. For sale by all druggists.
