1T is mistake to allow rheuma-
tism to become chronic, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The re-
lief from pain which 1t affords is alone
worth many times its cost. It makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in cases
Of long standing this liniment should
be used on account Of the relief which
1t affords. 25 and so cent size for
sale by all druggists.

II the drag Is used on It when It Is
wet. II the roadway Is full of holes
or badly rutted. the drag should be
used once when the ground Is soft
and slushy. This Is particularly ap-
plicable before cold spell in winter.
when II Ii possible to so prepare the
surface that II will freeze smooth.
Not infequently conditions are
met which may be overcome by q
slight change In the manner Of
hitching. Shortening the chain tends
to lift the front slab and make the
cutting slight. while longer hitch
causes the front slab to sink more
deeply into the earth and act on the
principle Of q plow.
II furrow Of earth is to be NOV
ed. the doubletree should be attached
close to the ditch end Of the drag,
and the driver should stand with one
foot on the extrme forward end of
the front slab.
Conditions are 30 varied In diff
ferent localities. however. that 1t is
quite impossible to lay down specific
rules. Certain sections OF q road
way will require more attention than
others. because Of steep grades. wet
weather springs. soil conditions. ex-
posure to sun and wind. washes. etc.
There II one condition. however, in
which special Attention should be
given. Clay roads under persistent
dragsings frequently become too high
In the center. This may be corrected
by dragging the earth towards the
center Of the road twice. and away
from It once.
There II no question as to the
economy Of this road-making imple-
ment. either in first cost or In opera
tion. In six counties in Kansas in
1905 the cost Of maintainin ordinary
earth roads. without the aid of the
split-log drag. averaged $42.50 a
mile. These figures were furnished
by Prof.-w. c. Hoad, OF the Univer-
sity OF Kansas, who secured them
from oficial records Of the counties.
Some figures furnished by f. p.
Sanborn, and r.. H. Ashton. general
manager Of the Chicago and North
western Railroad. have revealed the
wonders Of this simple device. Mr..
sanborn said. 1.-THE least expense per
mile per annum for sp,it-log dragging
was $50. the greatest q little over
80. and the average expense per mile
for 5 La miles little over IS. I
have lived along this road all my life
and never In 40 years have 1 seen 1t
freer. from mud and dust. despite the
fact that during the season we have
experienced the extremes of weather
conditions"
The testimony Of Mr.. Ashton IL
equally strong. Learning that town
ship In Iowa had been making an IN
vestigation of split-log drag and
had been experimenting with It for
year on 20 miles OF highway. he
sent an agent to secure information.
IL was reported that although the
town had paid the cost Of making
the drags and Of hiring men 10 op-
crate them. the total expense for one
year averaged but $40 a mile. and
the roads were reported to have been
like . race track" the greater por-
ton OF the year.

THE RETURNS FROM WHITEHORSE

Whi.ehorse Star; The result of the Alaska congressional election and Wickersham's majority of upward one thousand votes is grati- lying to all who have known "Jim" wickersham for 20 years as has the ed itor of the Star. wickersham is a LOOd fellow and we congratulate him. Corsou is a good fellow and we extend to him our distinguished cOmmisera- tiOn.
 wickersham's election was not due to his almighty" popularity. COrsOn's defeat was not due to his unpopularity. He was not unpopular. His defeat was due to the fact that be was the candi- date of Governor HOggatt and uudoubt- guly uUsgasC IS the most unpopular man ln Alaska. He is misit of the raukest kind and CorsOn's defeat and Wickersham's election constitute a direct slap iu the face O. Hoggatt from the iree-born voters of Alaska.

He served a term In con gress from a republican district and ac- complished an astonishing lot of prac- tical Legislation for bis state for tyro. Be made friends on both sides of the house every day he was there and was man marked for future. They say of him down in California that if he was republican iu politics he could have just anything he might want in that republican state. But he is not only not a republican but is radical Bryan democrat, was temporary chair man ot the Bryan national convention. In the primaries he has been defeated by Gavin McNab for the leadership of the party in the state-Gavin McNab, who became a wheel horse Of the party 8 dozen years ago and has never risen above that point until now he is chosen against the brilliant young Bryanite. You may be sure it wasn't Bell but Bryan tha, brought about his defeat in his own party.

Slowly, but surely, the the world
is beginning to understand the
labor movement, says the. Atlanta
Constitution, and with that under
standing comes each day a larger
measure of cooperation and sym
pathy for the other classes.
But there are still those who
cannot or will not see the working
mems movement as it is intended
by him to be; therefore he is pc
riodically denounced.
He is a striker, they say. So he
is, but not until he has been ar.
rogantly told that there is nothing
to arbitrate.
He boycotts. Yes, but he learn.
cd the use of that weapon from the
cruel blacklist-the blacklist that
made MIN an industrial outcast
and denied him the right to be the
breadwinner and sent him away
from his home with the wall of his
child and the sobs of his wife
breaking his heart.
The striker is but Il rebel. The
rebel has been the torch bearer of
civilization since man realized he
had a soul.

Union Politics.

Politics and unionism don't work
In harmony in the true sense of the
word, for politics, if brought into
the union, would corrupt the union
and destroy its usefulness. yet,
nevertheless, the time is ripe for
union men to take active interest
IN politics. 1t is not necessary to
bring politics into the union; let
the various unions appoint COM
mltteemen or hold an occasional
mass meeting. and support true
union men for office, and let every
union man work and vote for them.
That's not politics, just a sample
game OF getting honest men and
our friends into office and the re-
suit will be beneficial and good
