doctrine. The speech is long but 1t is good reading throughout. It is clear, fair, convincing. It can't help making friends and winning votes where 1t goes and is read.
 "But," says the Cleveland Leader, referring to this, Git Is unfortunate that the printed words have to do serv- ico instead of their author. It would be we'll for for the country if Taft himself could speak to all the voters wno will receive copies Of his speech, aud meet them face to face. Not that there ls magic in his oratory, lie has little of the charm of elOQuence which is in the voice, the gesture, the facial ex- prSsslou of the born manipulator Of crowds. The effect of Taft speech lies In It's thought and substance, it's revelation of the nature Of the man himself.
 "Yet William Howard Tatts perso.al appeal is very potent. He gains the confidence of his hearers by his sound, true, kindly and broad nature, His character shows ln his face, his tones, bis whole bearing upon the platform. No one can come in contact with him aud fail to feel his influence and his power.
 "Those who talk of Taft as pleasant and sensible but wanting in force and distinction do not know the man, They have never seen or heard him, or else they do not speak caudidly. They can find no such opinion among his inti- mates, friendly or otherwise. Before the end of the next presidents first term the country will forget that any one ever questioned the great strength in body, mind and soul of the Republi- can leader of 1908. It will seem ir' credible that such doubts should have existed, in respect to such a man even whom emerging into the foremost place ia the public life ot the United States from behind the dazzling personality ol Theodore Roosevelt.

Many Alaska people take their lives iu their hands by neglecting the kid ueys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are respousi- hle for vast amount of suffering and m health, but there Is DO need to sui- 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.

THE IMPORTANCE TO ALASKA OF HR.
 TAFT'S ELECTION

The growth of the so-called Alaska fund, derived from the collection of licenses outside incorporated towns In Alaska, is noted in recent Washington correspondence of the r.-T. The ln- crease is heresuIt of increased business of course.
 Seven percent ofthe fund Is expend- cd, according to law, for road and trail building, ? per cent for school and 5 per cent for the care Of insane persons
 'The returns for the fiscal year 1908, which closed on the tenth of last month, have not all been received at the treas ury department, but the collections so far as reported are already largely in excess Of the collections for tbe fiscal year lgO7," says the dispatch. "In the year ended June 30, 1907, the Alaska fund amounted, for that period, to Sl64,- 556L4. Incomplete returns for the fiscal year 1908 give the amount as s2Ol, POP. 43, or s36, ,546.29 more than in the entire fiscal year 1907.
 This means much for rOsd building in Alaska. Last year the commission oi army officers in charge of the con structiou of roads and trails h the ter ritory had at their disposal Sll5,259. 30 from the Alaska fund, besides a pretty generous special appropriation carried by the military appropriation bill. Major Wilds r. Richardson, chairman Of the commission, has always had good success in persuading the congress lead CTS Of the merits ol road building in Alaska, and his advice has often been sought by the military committees in house and senate. Former war Secre- tary Taft, now republican nominee for the presidency, believes thoroughly in perlecting ways of communication in Alaska, and it Is probable that in the event of bis election he will recommend, besides annual appropriations for wagon roads, some form of government aid for railroads iu the territory. Secretary Tait's interest in the territory comes partly from his experience iu the Phil ippines, where he became the leading authority of the administration in mat ters pertaining to the government oi our outlying territory, and partly from his special reliance CD Major Richard sous judgment as to what is good for Alaska.
 'Instead Of the sll5,OOO derived from the Alaska fund last year the road com mission will have at it's disposal from the same source this year the sum of Sl4O.S4l.TO. This, Of course, is supple mentary to the special appropriation. The Alaska fund, from collections made during the last year. will also provide s5O3O0 50 for the support Of schools and SIS, ,O50 l3 for the care of insane persons. These figures are based on incomplete returns to the treasury de- partment."
