ENROLL YOUR NAM E.

The treatment accorded to Alas ka by the Republican administration was in many of the states made an issue by the Democratic candidates who so successfully ended their campaign on Tuesday. The uU-AmeT- ican policy of the Republicans in re gard to this country was freely ad- mitted to have been responsible 10 a cons 'derable extent for their re yersal in Maine. and in many other of the states the same arguments were used to demonstrate the un- democratic leanings of the adminin- tration The splendid victories won by the Democrats. therefore. tndi- cate that to a considerable extent, the people of the states are in sym pathy with Alaska's struggle for an American type of government
 A week ago The Citizen stated: Tomorrow the voice of the people will be heard at the polls through out the states in condemnation of the type of government which is being forced on the country by Presiden. Taft and that wing of the party which fayors such government tai action as has placed the masses at the mercy of the privileged class es From one end of the country to the other Democratic and lnsurgent gains will be registered and Pres ident Taft will be rebuked in no un. certain language. l. appears 10 be almost certain at this time that the oext house will be controlled by the Democrats Therefore is 1t time for Alaskans who have the interests of the country at heart to be up and doing"
 The forecast was correct one and the Democrats are in control of the House by a large majority. With the Insurgent members Of the Re, publican party it is also probable they will control the Senate. Any legislation, therefore, initiated by the Democrats will probably be en acted into law. In the platform adopted at the Denver convention two years ago by the Democrats there was a plank calling for a ter ritorial form of government for Alaska and there is every reason to believe that this pledge will be faithfully kept
 petition calling 10 the attention of the Democratic Senator's and Congressman the fact that the citi zens of Alaska are still desirous of territorial form of government with a local legislature, Is being circulated. Copies of it will be for warded 10 the other camps through. out the country and after they have been circulated they will be sent to Washington. All who are opposed to the administrations military com. mission scheme should sign the pc, tition and thus record their protest at the same time making plea for the form of government they are entitled to-

NO CAUSE FOR SURPRISE.

There was no cause for surprise to be read in the results of last Tuesdays elections, and those who have carefully followed the trend of events during President Tafts ad. ministration are convinced that the Democratic landslide will be follow ed by one of even larger volume two years hence. The Republican par ty was pretty badly wounded on Tuesday; in 1912 1t will be buried and suitable epitaph to inscribe on it's tombstone would read "The Victim of Unfulflled Promises"
 One month after President Taft had assumed office it was plain to the country at large the feather duster had taken the place of the big stick, and that the corporations were not to be interfered with in the public. It was also made pa tent that the President believed he would be able to smile that public into good humor-in other words, to make them take their punishment and say they liked 1t.
 After months of tinkering with the tariff, the disgraceful Payne-Al- drich bill was evolved, and although the President had insisted-publicly -op a revisiOn downward ba ey. pressed himself as we'll satisfied with this measure, which in reality as ne we'll knew, was a revision up ward of nearly two per cent.

The Fair neld for the benefit of St. Matthew's hospital, on Wednes- lay, Thursday and Friday of last week at the Auditorium. besides being a most enjoyable social func- tion, was entirely successful from T financial standpoint. The decora- tions in the hall, all of Japanese ies.2n, were most effective and the pear1nce.
 The fair was opened at o'clock 0n Wednesday afternoon and al most at once there was a big rush for the many bargains that were on display. An accident to the moving picture machine prevented this lea tura being put on Wednesday. but on Thursday and Friday it proved a big attraction.

COAL FOR THE NAVY.

Secretary Meyer has given posi- are to be made by the warships 0.
 he Pa fife coast coal will be fair in every possible way. Not only will
 the first tests be made with tic grates now ill use, but for tho pur- pose of making them complete others better adapted to the Pacific coast coal will be substituted. Moreover. If 1t Is possible to obtain a suffic tent quantity Alaska coal will also
 be testcd
 If the tests are fairly conducted. as now seems certain they will be, and If the coal fuel determination is based upon 2 comparison of cost with efficiency il is evident that there is more than a prospect hat | Pacific ooas, coal will hereafter be used by the warships in time of peace. The commercial end Is es- l tablished. Every merchant steam NllIp NlSIlliI6 lIlt tl1llN NOdoli Gli 1 of the army transports, the revenue cutters, the vessels of the lighthouse establishment and the coast and geo. detic survey now use Pacific coast coal It is used because 1t is by | far the most economical. A vessel
 can steam more miles at a less fuel cost by far when Pacific coast coal
 Is used than when eastern coal is
 used, at a higher price due to the
 freight charge around from the At | lantiC.
 l As a question of practical conser-
 vatlon. it is apparent that the Pa
 cifc coast coal will be used. It
 takes, II is estimated, the consump- | ton of one-half ton of coal to ! transport a full ton of coal from the ! Atlantic around to this coast by
 waler. Thus, for every ton of east
 ern coal used on this coast, displac-
 ing Pacific coast coal, there Is the direct waste of onehalf a ton.
 Secretary Meyer is thoroughly in-
 formed on the question now. It is
 evident that the department will give the question lair consideration, and there Is a prospect for an en-
 larged use of the coal local to the
 coast :n tte navy hereafter,-Post 1 Intelligancer.

The Cause of Colds Good Advice Regarding the Prevention of Coughs and
 Colds

If people would only fortify and strengthen the system, the majority of eases of coughs, colds and pneu- monla might be avoided. These troubles are frequently due to weak ness, which produces a catarrhal condition of the mucous membrane, which Is an internal skin of the body. When this skin is weakened it becomes easily infected with germs which cause many of the diseases to which 'esh is heir. Healthy mucous membranes are essential safeguards of tIe body's general health.
 An excellent a,d in the preven- tion of coughs, colds, pneumonia, and such Ike infectious diseases, i, a remedy that will prevent or cure catarrh.
 We have a remedy which we honestly believe to be unsurpassed in excellence for the prevention of coughs, colds and all catarrhal con .ditlons. It is the prescription of n famous physician, who has an en- vlable reputation of thirty years of cures gained through the use of this formula. We promise to make no charge for the medicine should it fail to do as we claim. We urge everybody who has need of such a medicine to try RcXall Mucu-Tone.
 It stands 10 reason that we could not afford to make such statement. and give our own personal guar antee to this remedy if we were not prepared to prove the reasonable ness of our claim in every partic- ular, and We see no reason why any one should hesitate to accept our offer and try it We have two sizes of RcXall Mucu-Tone,
 Sometimes
 bottle is sufficient to give marked relief. As a general thing the most chronic ease is relieved with an average of three large bot ties. You can obtain Rexall Rene dies only at-The Rexall Store.

when he was in exile in Elba is COM

attempted to guide it himself. but the
oxen refused to obey him. overturned
