THE PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE

President Wilson's personal mes. sage to Charles E. Bunnell express ing wish for tho Democratic candi dates election as delegate from Alas ka disposes of all pretense that the president is in sympathy with Dele gate Wickersham's campaign.
 Nobody need accept the president's s wishes as controlling. Every man is supposed to do his own thinking, and the pity is that so many men yell their heads off without thinking at all However, all Alaska feels that Presi dent Wilson has placed the territory under obligations to him by doing more for its development than was done by the national government in forty-six years before his inaugura. tion.
 There is a strong sentiment all ov. CT Alaska to show appreciation of the presidents work for the territory and the Wickersham faction has strenuously sought to take advantage of that sentiment by claiming the president and cabinet favor their can didate It is now up to every man who wants to vote to suit the presi- dent to vote for Bunnell.
 The gabble that the message is a forgery is too infantile for consid- eration. It is dated at the White House and has all the marks to show it's route from Washington to the Valdez cable office. Any man who would utter such forgery would be quickly caught and would play check CTS with his nose several years There is plenty of time for Wicker sham shouters to get a denial from the White House if the message did not start there.

STUCK TO HIS FAITH.

Anyhow It Paid the Young Prussian
 Not to Change It.
 A king of Prussia who reigned about the beginning of last century was not ed for his geniality, and often in the course of his walks through the streets would enter into conversation with his subjects.
 One day he met a young man and asked him what his faith was. The youth, who was somewhat of was. answered. smiling, 'I believe what my tailor believes" The king entered pleasantly into the joke and then ask ed again, "And what does your tailor believe inT "Your majesty" replied the young man, "he believes that he will never get the 30 marks which owe him, and believe 1t also."
 The king laughed heartily at the out spoken and unrestrained way in which he had answered him, and then gave him 30 marks. "Now, then, you can pay your tailor and so change his faith" The young man fancied, how. ever, that he could use the money for q better purpose, and the tailor nat urally went unpaid.
 Not long afterward the king met the same youth, who, as he saw his maj- esty approaching, tried to escape down side street The king had, however, espied him and called after him. The youth, somewhat crestfallen and abashed, approached his majesty, who at once asked him if he had paid his tailor. A smile passed over the young mans face as he replied, "Your majes ty, could not change my faith for 30 marks"

Let us not grieve for the slain soldiers. They have escaped from misery. Let us shut our eyes even to those weeping for their dead or wounded.

Mothers Tell Of
Mothers Friend

Experience is or should be our best
teacher. Women who have obeyed the
highest and noblest of all sacrifices, the
struggle for the life Of others. should
have a better idea Of helpful influence
than those who theorize from observation,
AT any rate when a prospective grand
mother urges her daughter to do as she
did--to use Mothers Friend" there is
reason to believe it the right advice.
Mothers Friend" is an external ap-
plication-for expectant mothers. It's pur-
pose is to furnish pliancy to the muscles.
to take away the strain on the cords and
ligaments. to relieve the tension Of nerves
and tendons so apt to provoke or Rg-
gTavate nausea, morning sickness twitch-
ings OF the limbs and SO on.
= Although. in the nature Of things, a
woman would use ''Mother's Friend but
but rarely, yet so effective has It been
found that this splendid remedy is on sale
in most drug stores throughout the
United States. It has been prepared by
Bradield Regulator Co., 406 Lamar Bldg,
Atlanta, Ca, and advertised by us for
over forty years. This is fine record
for such q special remedy and the grate-
full letters received to-day are just as

posed to have greatly advanced. Ask at
