HE'D WINS
Seattle Has Waged For Re-
 publican Control

Unknown of most people a battle has just terminated for the control of the Republican organization in Alaska which was waged long and strenuous ly. The leaders iu the contest were National Committeeman Held and George Irving. The former has won the contest.
 To wlu be remembered that at the last Republican convention to select delegates 10 the Republican national convention there was 8 split and two conventions were held and two delga- ti0ns elected. One faction was lead by T. A. Margulm and the other by John c. Held. The lOrmer, undoubtedly, 6ad the larger following, but it lost out fn the coutes. before the committee on credentials at the national convention for the reason that It had neglected to .fIe it's papers in time.
 . Cpou the national committees recOg- nizinr Mr. Held, the MaIquam central committee of which George Irving, of KsschiAau. was chairman went out of business and the Held committee, of which J. T. SpickeJI was chairman, was recognized by everybody.
 Last year the central committees called 8 onyen,ion for the nomination Of 8 candidate for delegate to congress. The convention was controlled by the element that had supported T, A. Msrouan at the previous convention, and when the central committee was chosen it was discovered 10 be practically the old Msrquam committee with George Irving again chairman.
 National Committeeman HeId, who is not au easy man to down even when the votes are against him, again began 8 campaign before the national com mittee for the recognition Of his same old central committee, claiming thst the committee was selected for four years and that the convention which nominated a delegate to congress, therefore, was uoy authorized to name 8 central committee.
 To IS said by Juneauites that MT. Held has been sustained by the national committee and that his committee will call 8 terriloria. convention to convene in November.

DENIED AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET ~
STRUcTlON

II is made obvious by the state
ment of President Harrington that
the accommodations at the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College
have become inadequate to the
needs of this State. DR.. Harring-
ton says twenty-four extra tents
have been ordered and that one
OF the old buildings on the grounds
has been converted into barracks,
but even with this increased space
some OF those already here mnst be
turned away, and il is entirely
useless for any Others To- come or TO
make application.
The News regards the Agricul.
tural and Mechanical College as
one of the most useful institutions
of this State. The farming indus
try is undergoing rapid evolution
all over the country, and the time
is not far distant when the man
who lacks the training given at the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege will be seriously handicapped
in his efforts TO make living from
the cultivation of the soil. II is a
matter OF the utmost importance,
therefore, that those who desire
that instruction, should have the
opportunity t. get it. Every dol
lar spent toward that end will yield
a profit, nor shall we have to wait
long for the returns.
That il should be necessary for
any one seeking this instruction to
live in tents is regrettable. to say
the least of IL. II does not speal
well for those whose duty il is par
ticularly to look after the institr-
tional needs of the State. II is TO
be hoped the next Legislature will
be less intent than was the last one
on creating new Offices, and that
instead of giving politicians a sal
airy lien OH the States revenues,
il will divert more OF the money TO
the purpose of aifording opportun-
tiles to those who desire this kind
Of instruction. Galveston News.

HAPPY RESULTS
Have Made Many Topeka Residents
Enthusiastic.

No wonder scores of Topeka citi-
zens grow enthusiastic. 1t is enough
to make anyone happy to find relief
after years of suffering. Public state
ments like the following are but
truthful representations of the daily
work done in Topeka by Doan's Kid
ney Pills.
Mrs Rachel Codington of 1907
Woodward Ave, Topeka, Kans., says:
Mr. Codington is just as strong in his
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills today as
he was six years ago when he first
publicly endorsed them through the
Topeka papers. Prior to using this
medicine he had been troubled with
kidney complaint for about two years.
The pain in his back was SO severe at
times that it was with great difficulty
that he could straighten after stoop
ing and at night his rest was much
disturbed The least cold he took in
creased his suffering. Doan's Kidney
Pills went right to the seat of his
trouble and cured him. Since that
time he has never had any indication
of backa che or kindney trouble. This
speaks highly in favor of Doan's Kid
ney Pills when it is understood that
Mr.. Codington Is rs years of age. We
have yet to hear of Doan's Kidney Pills
failing to do exactly as represented"

OUR COUNTY JAIIS.
Judge Ruppenthal Discusses Their
Condition

J. c. Ruppenthal, judge of the Tween
ty-third judicial district, writing to the
State Journal from WaKeeney the
county seat of Trego county, on the
subject of the condition of the jails of
Kansas, says:
I'm the western counties of the state
the jails are used so little that wha
they usually need is busting and sweep
ing, when anyone is to be incarcerated.
The bedding also must be aired and
busted
what we are needing in the western
counties is a law that will permit bunch
ing the persons under Jail sentence from
several counties, preferably in the same
judicial district. SO as to work them
to watch one or two or three prisoners
than their work is worth.
us this criticism of the county jails
of Kansas merited. Is the Wilson coun-
ty Jail an example? If so, whose fault
is it? Can it be believed that the alleg
ed abuses will continue If generally
known? If they are not known, why
vides positively and clearly that the
judge of the district court and the
county attorney of the county shall
each visit the county Jail once during
each term of the district court, and af-
ter such visit shall report in writing to
the board of county commissioners the
condition of the jail; whether it is safe,
secure and sanitary. and shall suggest
what improvements should be made.
This law, if obeyed, means that in each
county of the state, the board is inform
ed in writing of the condition of the Jail
two or three times each year. These re-
ports are open to the public, and may
be used by the press. Why, then,
should conditions be most deplorable?"
