TOUGH ON THE POLITICIANS

According to railroad men, says the New York Commercial, the Hepburn law will cost the political arrangements of presidential candidates about one- half million dollars in tho coming caU- paigu. The Hepburn law prohibits the issuance or acceptance of transpOrta- tlOu passes under penalty of fines from s2OO to s2o,OOO, with possible imprison. ment as well. In former presidential campaigns the railroads and the other transportation companies have extend- ed pass courtesies to speakers and other political workers amounting to the equivalent of from three-Quarters of a million dollars to one and one-hali million dollars
 The estimate of s5OO,OOO for campaigD transportation is based upon the trav- cling expenses of agents of the agri- cultural department of the government, which aggregated $3OO,OOO during the past fiscal year, and their number is by DO means as great as the speakers ano other workers that political managers  will nave in the field Furthermore, they will not as rule be atle to meet this expense out ol their own pocket bOoks, and possibly before the cam paign is ended each of the national committees will have spent for railroad fares much more than one-half million dollars.

There is in the uncertainty of mans estate Great cause to wonder how and why and when, The thing c,Iled Lie endeured itself to men. As, bucking up against the fist O fate, We learn too early, or again to late That with hard luck existence over. flows, And little waits us here but knock out blows, For justice lagS or else is out of date.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
HeaIth Is Worth Saving and Some AlaskA People Know How to Save It.


 Many Alaska people take their lives n their hands by negleUting the kid ueys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsi- hle for vast amount of suffering and tll health, but there is DO need to sut- fer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and paines due to weak kidneys can be quickly and per- manently cured by the use of Deans Kidney Pills.
 P. Lammeh. l2l North Terry Ave. Seattle, Wash, says: Ut is now three years since I gave testimonial recom- meuding Doau s KidneY Pills after the prompt and satisfactory manner in which this remedy had relieved me Of kidney trouble which had affected me of and on for q number of years.

To be sure Mayor Valentine might display copy of that telegram in his window just to set the town laughing sgaln-but there would be the danger of mysteries. Even joke shouldn't be carried too far, The idea of a town being "plastered all over" with FAC SMILE of a telegram RECEIVED on a SENDING blank and then the raising of a serious cry of FRAUD three days afterwards by a guardian of the peoples morals who goes to CordOya for bis election returns-no, on second thought 1t would be dangerous to dis play that thing again.

Now fl Governor Hoggatt thinks the people of Alaska are going to pass this matter up with 8 jest concerning the great number Of voters who "threw their votes away" is is only another evidence of how little he understands the temper of the people over whom he has for lit,le time been set as "Cov- eruor." That fraud was perpetrated of the boldest and most insoIent character at Cordoya there Is no shadow Of doubt
 Here iu Alaska we all know the cir cumstances-that the men who cast that big Corsou vote at Cordova are railroad Iaborers who came from Seat tle. The facts are to be laid before the authorities at Washington and Cover nor aoggatt himself-nos his creature Corson-requIred 10 explain.

As a matter Of fact, however, this whole business could not have turned
 out better than 1t has to serve the best interests of Alaska. This lesson had 70 be taught and, as stated, the time to teach it is NOW. But it is a matter ot common knowledge that when the de- sire of the people ol Alaska was brought
 to the attention of Mir. Roosevelt some years ago he was not very enthusiastic about it Not that he feared the people of Alaska but the corporstions-he thought the power oI the corporations would be brought to bear in the elect Ions and, where the distances are so great and the population so sparse 1t would be better that the government at Washington retain absolute control. Still he was willing to be shown and as seen in his last message to congress beginning to lean in the other direct ion. The government at Washing has this absolute control, and we see the repretentstive Of that ''government at Washington" the representative also of the corporations and bcldly and defiant

declares that every thoughtful Anieri-
