Accor- ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any facilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time.
 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances.

 Why ls It that certain American citi- zen,, some of them of high official rank are less iIclinea 10 trust Alaska than they are to trust the Philippines or Hawaii, or Porto Rico. or "the black republic" of santo Domingo? Why Is It that they are willing to concede more to the inhabitants of these islands than to Alaskans? Do they realize that they are dealing less justly with Alaskans than Nicholas of Russia is with the provincial prolotarlat, loss con- siderate even than Leopold in hin treat ment of the CougoeseP Out oi what kind of coarse and unseemly clay Is the Alaskan made that they should be thus degraded2
 Reasonable grants have been made to Hawaii, the Philippines and Porto Rico. Even now the federal govern ment Is actually administering the af- fairs Of Cuba, and protecting the in- tegrity of the new republic against nn- tive aud alien insurrectlonlsts It is standing guard over the treasury of ssnto Domingo. Its pledge ls main taIning order In Panama and preserv- ing republic of it's own creation. With this nations fighting pledges thus extended thousands of miles into the sea, isn't it rank folly to speak of the danger of extending territorial autonimy to Alaska merely because Alaska is nOn:coutIguous?
 If any fundamental policy Is involved in the case of Alaska, 1t Is the policy which condemns the holding and ex- plotting of subjugated provinces. Alas kanS are Americans, and Americans can never be subjects. Subjects are alien to American soil, alien to the political beliefs and institutions of the country. The faith and honor of the American government are involved in the Alaskan issue, and the issue cannot be met with the thin plea that Alaska being pon-coutiguous Is out of reach. The arm that reached the Philippines is long enough to reach Alaska.-Post- Intelligencer.

ALASKA NOT OUT OF REACH

Alaska's enemies are hard pressed indeed when they bring forward the argument that the northern country should not be gwen territorial form of government because the area in- yolyed is non contiguous That !s @ mere political scarecrow. There is nothing in the law or history of the country to sustain the contention. Such argument Is popular ouly with those who wish to check the progress of the nation.
 Alssks, with well.organIzed terri tOrlsl government, will be less danger ous to the peace of this country, than Alaska is now. The nation ia not with out experience in such matters. How ever much men may differ with re- spect to our Philippine venture, con sldered as a permanent policy, 1t will be freely admitted that liberal conces- sions made U the Islanders, under Sec retary Tait's wise recommendations have done more to paoiiy the na tiveS and to turn them into the ways of peace industry and thrift, than all the so-

 Naturally government along these lines would be crude-it would not be all that Alaskans want, but 1t is high ly probable, that It would lead to A baOaaoF form and, once AlasEans have demonstrated to Congress that they can take care of the more Olmpie form of administering their own affairs, more complicated one may be given them.
