Hoa-th IS Worth saving, and Some Skagway People Know How to
 Save It.

Many skagway people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Weak kidneys, are responsible for vast amount oi suffering and i'll health, but there is no need to suffer nor to re main in danger. Use Doan's Kid hey Pills-a remedy that has helped tn oueandsIof kidney sufferers. The following statement leaves no ground for doubt.
 J. W. Liming, carpenter, AT Pine S; santa Cruz, Calf; says; My kidneys wo:5 weakened during the spanish American War while soldier ing in the Pniluppine Island. My back ached almost constantly and made 1t hard for me to stoop or do any lifting. My kidneys acted yer frequently and irregularly. I tried Doan's Kidney Pills and they Were just what I needed. They soon rid me of the backache and Put my kid neys in good shape. I know Doan's cant ne beat for kidney trouble, I advise anyone having weak kid neys to try them."

AN MExCUsABLE PARDON

The pardontng OF the Mexicans who
assisted villa in his murderous raid on
Columbus, New Mexico, by the governor
Of that state, will not meet with public
approval. The Columbus massacre was
cold blooded and deliberate and several
Of ths Victims were women and children.
The sixteen who have just been pardon
ed. pleaded guilty to their share In tho
crime
Reasons given by Governor Laszarola.
OF New Mexico, for his action are that
he believed tho men ignorant and not
criminally responsible and that they act
cd under duress. This, at best, Is mere
~ an imaginative theory. An ignorant
man is just as criminally responsible as
nj, educated man, and it Is improbable
that these men required any great
amount OF compulsion to induce them to
take part In Villas raid. No man can
look into the thoughts of another. so the
law very properly provides that every
man is responsible for his own actions
and is presumed TO intend what he does.
The outstanding facts in this case are
that these sixteen men are murderers
and that they have been turned loose.
