NOME, ALASKA, MAY 24, 1917.
OUR SOURDOUGH GOVERNOR.
On yesterday the various democratic
organizations in the Seward peninsula
sent to Washington enthusiastic wires
endorsing Governor J. F. A. Strong
for reappointment as governor of the
territory of Alaska.
Old-timers throughout the territory
know J. F. A. Strong; we have known
him for the past twenty years in which
time he has earner! the respect and
confidence of all with whom he came
in contact with. He was with us here
in Nome for many years, and, at all
times stood the acid test.
We are proud of the fact that he has
been governor of this territory for the
past four years in which time he has
done much for the development and
benefit of Alaska.
Knowing as he does—through actual
experience—the wants of Alaska and
Alaskans he is the right man in the
right place and we cannot let this
occasion pass without openly stating
during his term of office he has served
the territory In the capacity of gov
ernor to the utmost satisfaction of all.
“Alaska for Alaskans" has been the
slogan throughout the territory for
many years and when a "sourdough”
was appointed governor of the terri
tory the selection was extremely grati
fying to everybody—irrespective of
party politics.
It is to be hoped that Governor
Strong will be reappointed to the office
which he now holds. He is one of us!
He is an Alaskan through and through!
We want an Alaskan to fill the bill,
and sincerely hope there will be no
change.
LLOYD'S.
You frequenly come acros the name
"Lloyd's” in the fore'ign news, espe
cially in regard to the hazards of ship
ping, since the war has been in prog
ress. You also have read such state
ments as “Lloyd’s will give 3 to 1
on the probable end of the war by
Christmas.” You may also remember1
that when King Edward was yerv ill

the shopkeepers in London insured
their stocks of black goods against
the possible recovery of the sick mon
arch, in which contingency the black
goods would not sell.
Dr you know what "Lloyd's" is and
how it got its name? On the surface
it is merely an insurance company,
which will insure anything in the
world, from a cargo of merchandise to
the business of a restaurant keeper
whose trade during a public festival
would be diminished by bad weather.
The organization bears no resem
blance to American insurance com
panies, and just as all insurance is a
form of betting, this one assocaltion
carries the taking of risks to the ex
treme. It came into existence as long
ago as 1688, when Edward Lloyd op
erated a popular coffee house in Tower
street, London. Here the men inter
ested In mercantile marine and over
sea commerce used to congregate to
talk business. Lloyd published a ship
ping Journal, and his office came to
be the center for marine insurance and
shipbroking.
Although the enormous association
now has Us offices in the ltoyal Ex
change, it maintains a restaurant for
its members, in memory of its seven
teenth century origin.—Ex.
DON'T INSULT THE FLAG.
This is no time for any one living
on American soil under the protection
of the American flag to insult the flag.
He cannot do it with impunity. In
New York city the other day, George
Luksich, a member of the coast guard
ut the barge office, severely thrash
ed a bigger man who, in puassing,
wiped his hands on the colors. For
this act he was promoted by the sec
retary of the treasury, and, on Wash
ington’s birthday, received the Dennett
gold medal from the Sons of the Dev
olution who honored him with a ban
quet. Lugsich is an Austrian by
birth, but is now a naturalized Amer
ican citizen.
There are other ways of insulting
the flag than by disgraceful touch, and
all who are disinclined to respect the
nation which our flag symbolizes
should be circumspect in public speech.
Americans are not unduly excited, but
they are now keyed up to high ten
sion. They may differ on the question
of preparedness, and of the policy of
declaring war with Germany und
probably concerning war as an art, I
but all kinds of Americans will join
in resenting insults to the flag. Citi
zens and sojourners who do not feel
the obligation to respect the flag must
respect the sensibilities of those who
do.
HISTORY OF ALASKA.
When we go in modern times to see
a Shakespearean play we will find all
the characters highly cultured, all the
women beautiful and everyone per
fectly refined and clean. If we go back
and read Homer we find all his char
acters magnificent creatures. His
Achilles looks like a god and Helen is
a Venus.
We seldom stop to think that Hel
en never used any soap and that
Queen Elizazbeth and her courtiers
were blissfully ignorant of any sort
of a fork except their fingers. The
chances are that if Andromache came
back to life as she was she’d look
like on of our own romantic squaws,
just as perfectly bathed, groomed and
scented.
And now it is coining to pass that
,he old days in Alaska are assuming
the romantic halo that only time can
impart. We read of the good old
days when the natives were warriors
and their women were 'princesses,
when they fought valorously and the
squaws loved exquisitely .Then appar
ently they were all washed and now
they arc all si washed. Hut the history
of Alaska and every detail of it should
be carefully recorded and preserved.
This will be a country of great popu
lation some day, and the historian of
the future will have his work made
easier while the people of the future
will be blessed.
It is a question, though, whether
real history should overlook the ex
act truth in sociological matters.
There will be high class people spring
from the present Indian population,
but a full knowledge of conditions as
they were should be useful to them
and to all others. Any of us whites
would give a good deal now if we
could only glance back and see what
our ancestors were. We need not go
back quite so far as the ancestor that
hung by his tail to receive quite a
shock. A lady that lives off blubber,
after all, is very different from the
woman that lives oft crabs at New
port—or lobsters.—Juneau Dispatch.

KEEP YOUNG
Feople with bad backs and weak
kidneys are apt to foci old at sixty.
Many old folks say Doan's Kidney
Fills help them keep young. Read
this case:
Mrs. Margaret A. Nesary, 1513
Twenty first avenues, South Seattle,
Wash,, says: "If I worked too hard I
had dull, sickening pains across my
loins and hips. My whole system was
affected and made me feel poorly In
every way. Spells of dizziness came
on and I had a glimmering before my
eyes at times . My kidneys were ir
regular in action and the passages
were distressing. Doan's Kidney rills
greatly benefited me. In spite of my
advanced age, I am active and do all
my own housework.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Fills— the same that
Mrs. Nonary had. Foster-Milburn
