TRYING TO OUST BRYAN.
The bitterness and persistency with
which strong administration • news
papers have assailed Secretary Bry
an, especially because of his Chau
tauqua lectures, has given rise to the
report that friends of the adminis
tration are trying to force Mr. Bry
an out of the cabinet. Whether this
be true or not, the criticism has been
very annoying to the secretary of
state.
It is, of course, impossible to prove
that there is any concerted action
among newspapers supporting Presi
dent Wilson to crucify Secretary
Bryan. And there may be no con
cert of action. But many of the big
papers that have nothing hut praise
for the president have nothing but
censure for the secretary of state.
When Secretary Bryan announced
that he intended to lecture in order
to swell his income, he was criti
cised in all parts of the country.
With this criticism fresh in his ears,
he appealed to the president and
-procured permission to fill his Chau
tauqua dates.
Whether the president allowed Sec
retary Bryan to have his own way
because he thought the secretary’s
absences would not interfere with
public business, or whether the presi
dent was actuated by a deeper mo
tive may never be known. But it is
pointed out by shrewd observers that
the president made a wise move when
he gave Secretary Bryan all the rope
he wanted. For it is recognized that
Secretary Bryan has placed himself
"in bad,” and politicians are of the
opinion that Mr. Bryan never can be
renominated again for the presidency.
His lecture record would prove a
heavy handicap.
Therefore, if the president was
seeking to eliminate one of his most
threatening rivals three years hence,
he has accomplished his purpose.
ALASKA NEEDS BOTH RAIL AND
WAGON ROADS.
It probably would not be wise for
the railroad and wagon road propo
sitions in which the people of Alaska
are interested to be united in one
measure. The railroad bill has been
pretty thoroughly discussed. It has
been reported favorably by the com
mittees of the two houses of con
gress, and it has the support of cabi
net officers. It is going on the cal
endar in each house for considera
tion at once after the disposal of the
currency bill as an administration
measure. It should be given un-'
hampered and unqualified right-of
way.
However, work on the proposition
to secure $1,000,000 a year for wagon
and automobile roads should proceed
at once, and the work should be fol
lowed persistently. The prospects are
that the railroad bill will be out of
the way before spring, and the high
way project should have an organiz
ation behind it ready to start it on
its way as soon as the railroads are
assured.
Railroads and wagon roads are
both needed in Alaska. Highways
and trails are required to open up
the country adjacent to the railroads
and waterways. The country cannot
be developed without them. Prom
the standpoint of the railroad man
agement they will be required as
feeders to provide tonnage for trans
portation. Work on them should be
jtushed so that their construction
will keep up with railroad building.
Let us make no mistake. Alaska
wants both railroads and wagon
roads, and while we must not per
mit the desire for both to prevent
our securing either, the ground should
be prepared in such a way that the
demand for $1,000,000 a year for good
roads will not be a surprise when
it is presented in formal manner.—

plain law in the case, there is no
harm in admitting the notorious mil

AN AUTHENTIC PROOF
IN VALDEZ THAT
Dr. J. Eugene Jordan’s Glandular Sys
tem of Medicine Cures.
This Story ofg Suffering and Misery Speaks for Its Self.
Valdez, Alaska. Get. 33, 1913.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
For the last six years I have suffered agony from neuralgia of (lie face
and throat. The muscles of my face and neck felt as if they were being
lied in a knot that would tear them from the bones, while the pain was
something terrible. It was a dillieult task for me to talk, and very often
1 have crossed the street to avoid meeting those whom I knew. 1 rare
ly relished a meal as terrible pains would keep me from masticating my
food.
I tried doctor after doctor but could not receive any relief. I came to
the conclusion that my terrible suffering would die wnen 1 would.
Dr. LeRoy, who is prescribing Dr. J. Eugene Jordan’s Glandular medi
cines, was recommended to me. When I consulted him, he said. “Your
case is curable,” and gave me medicine which I have taken for about a
month.
I now' have no pain, can talk and eat with ease, and can hardly re
member when I felt so free of pains as 1 do now.
I w'ill forever be indebted to Dr. J. Eugene Jordon and his discoveries,
and hope that Dr. LeRoy can find it possible to remain among us and keep
up the good work.
J. G. BRAXTON, Keystone Ave.

Small Stores Made Profitable
The amount of business clone does not always depend on the
size of the store. Many small stores properly conducted
are doing more business than some of thei; larger neighbors
handling the same line of goods.
The amount of business done by a store of a given
size depends directly upon the effectiveness of he methods
employed to draw trade.
One of the most effective methods is the use of good
light—plenty of light—electric light.
