KETCHIKAN HAD TO GET ALONG WITHOUT
WICKERSHAM
Ketchikan business men also found it necessary
to send an unofficial Representative to Congress in
order to get legislation that would prevent the fish
eries industry of their town and other Southeastern
Alaskan towns from being transferred from Alaska
to British Columbia. H. C. Strong, of that city, has
been managing the legislation on this question at
Washington, and yesterday succeeded in getting the
measure designed to protect the business Interests
of American ports and to save the fisher folk as resi
dents of Alaska, pass the Senate.
While Mr. Strong was laboring for Alaska, the
Delegate was neglecting all Alaskan matters, spend
ing his time trying to manufacture campaign dope?
and then deserted the field where he admits that
things of great importance to Alaska arc being con
sidered.
CONTRIBUTE TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
?'Y t U? Y! NG AT HOME
There is far more money made through Commun
ity development than through individual earnings.
More men become well-to-do because the town in
which they live and the surrounding country grows
larger than in any other way. One of the best ways
in the world to aid your town to grow larger and
richer is to patronize home institutions. The larger
the volume of local business becomes the greater the
local payrolls will become. The man who buys at
home, therefore, is contributing to the growth of the
town.
The man who takes an interest in his town, its
progress, the growth and improvement of its public
institutions, and that of its stores and factories, its
newspapers and all of its necessities and conven
iences is a good citizen, and he is aiding himself.
NOT HUGHES' SHAME
If tho telegraphic strrv that comes from the
Hughes special train at 1-ouisvillc. which says that
Candidate Hughes was confronted with a packed au
dience at Nashville, and was hissed and hooted, is
true, the shame is Nashville's and not that of the
the Republican candidate for President. While there
seems to be a growing belief that Mr. Hughes has
not been conducting an altogether dignified or states
manlike campaign against the administration, Ameri
cans should not forget for a single minute that he
is the candidate of one of the historic American poli
tical parties, which contains practically half of the
American people, for the highest office in the land,
and is the leader and spokesman of that party; that
he is "a former Governor of the greatest American1
State and a former Justice of the greatest American
court, and has otherwise been highly honored by his
countrymen. He is entitled to a respectful hearing
from those who have the opportunity and desire to
attend his meetings. If there are those who resent
his course, and do not care to hear what he may
have to say, they should refrain from attending his
meetings.
TERMS OF EIGHT-HOUR LAW
The eight-hour day for railroad employees will
not go into effect until January 1. and it provides
that over-time compensation until the matter shall
have been fully investigated shall be at the same
pro rata hourly rate as regular time.
The statement issued by the Senate committee
on interstate commerce in support of the measure
describes it briefly in these words:
'That eight hours shall be deemed a
day's work and the standard for reckoning
compensation of railroad employees operat
ing trains in interstate commerce after Jan
uary 1. 1917; and
?'That a commission of three, appointed
by President Wilson, shall investigate the ef
fects of the eight-hour standard from six to
nine months and then report to Congress,
present wages not to be reduced during the
investigation or for thirty days thereafter
and overtime to be paid at a pro rata rate."
WHY NOT ON THE JOB?
If Delegate WIckersham feels that the Alexander
Alaska fisheries bill would ruin Alaska, if it should
become a law, and that there is danger of its pass
age. why did he not remain in Washington and con
tinue the fight against the adoption of the favorabte
report which he says has been made since he left
Washington? President Wilson and the leaders in
the Senate and House of Representatives have not
permitted ambitions for re-election to interfere with
their duties as representatives of tbo people and law
makers of the country? Delegate Wickershnm gets
$7,500 a year to represent and servo tho peoplo of
Alaska at Washington. Why is he not on tho Job?
While the richest of the Filipino millionaires says
the Philippines desires a separation from the United
States, an even 5,000 of tho voters or the Danish
West Indies voted in favor of annexation to the
American Nation and only 11 votes wcro cast against
It.
Why wasn't Wlckci^ham on the Job at Wash
ington when the Juneau school bonding bill was upf
When the Ketchikan fisheries bill was up? When
the Carlin-Alcxander bill was being reported? Why
was ho not trying to help Nome get her school house
bonding bill through? He is paid $7,500 a year to
care for such matters as these at Washington.
THE BURIED PITCHFORK
(St. Louis Republic)
In the Senate, shortly after Mr. Hughes had
raised the old cry that the Democratic party is sec
tional, Senator Ben Tillman made a short address
which Is worthy of more publicity than it received.
Mr. Hughes had attempted to enforce his position
by pointing to Southern leadership in Congress by
reason of the number of chairmanships held by the
Southern men.
Of course. Senator Tillman found the answer
very easy. The prominence of Southern Democrats
is largely due to the habit of Southern voters, who
keep good men in Congress until the rule of seniority
lifts them into chairmanships. Tho same principle
works in favor of certain States of tho North and
West when Republicans are in power. Maine and
Iowa have been conspicuous exampels of this ten
dency.
But it is not this part of Senator Tillman's
speech which is the most impressive. We look rather
to the Senator's deeply sincere plea for an end of
all sectionalism for what was most significant in the
speech. It is not possible to quote the speech here,
but a passage in which the speaker expressed his
personal attitude and feeling may be given. It is as
follows:
"" J ~ '*??>? *>A vanrc T hnVA <lon?
11 UUI11I& UlC IUOI -v ^
aught in this chamber or elsewhere to keep
alive the smoldering fires of sectionalism, let
me say today that they have long since died
out of my own heart and in the land whence
I come. I had no such purpose, but only to
defend the South when unjustly attacked and
to justify its actions under conditions which
you men can never realize, imposed by the
reconstruction acts. . ... If ever I did
hate the Northern people?and 1 confessed to
that the last time I spoke here?that hatred
and partisanship has died out of my heart;
and the pitchfork, if it was considered the
emblem of it, has long since been buried
From its grave an olive tree has sprung, and I
am tendering the olive branch, claiming to
represent the South in doing so, to all North
ern people."
Surely, if the "pitchfork" Senator from South
Carolina, remembering the ruin of Civil War and the
scandals of reconstruction, can say these things, there
is no more room in this country for breeders of sec
tional strife.
A NOISY CITY
(Seattle Post-Intclllgcnccr)
While conversation between human Deings is
still possible at times in the business district of
Seattle, there ire many moments of the day when
the din of car and general street traffic is so great
that the deaf and dumb language is the only relia
ble method of communication. Seattle is one of the
noisiest cities in the world, and the people who are
making most of the noise seem to be blissfully sat
isfied with their efforts, or obvious to the effect on
a nervous citizenry.
A suffering citizen has written the I'ost-Intelli
gencer a letter of protest, and urges the organiza
tion of a society for the prevention of useless noises.
Quoting from his letter:
"There is nothing like Seattle noise in
even the largest cities of the country. The
worst offenders are the motorcycle and auto
bile drivers; cut-outs wide open, horns
screeching and nosy street cars combine to
bring us frightful, sleepless nights and high
tension days. In most downtown offices tele
phone communication is impossible when a
window is open. Why is not the law regard
ing the use of cut-outs enforced?
rino nt fho ronanna u-hv \vi> are sr? nosv is that
practically no one is trying to prevent it. This young
and ebullient community is "up on its toes." attend
ing to business, very much In a hurry, and intent on
results rather than on means. Noise costs nothing
and is regarded as having no bearing on the earning
of a dollar, hence the issue is neglected. There is
no question that it ravels the community nerves and
is really deterrent in the dally routine of business.
There is a field for the activities of a society to
prevent unnecessary noises. There is probably no
good reason why a street car crossing a rail Inter
section should be allowed to create a din like a
carload of tin cans dropping in a rock quarry. There
is no good reason why an automobile or motorcycle
should be allowed to create a succession of explos
ions that rival the bombardment of Verdun.
The depressing volume of this daily cannonading
could be decreased if somebody made it a business
to attend to it. e\V hopefully call for volunteers;
perhaps the police department will respond.
DON'T PREVARICATE
(Louisville Courier-Journal)
Says the New York Sun:
"President Wilson is hurt to find
that a conviction has spread that he is
willing to sacrifice the principle of arbi
tration for the sake of settling the dispute
between the railways and their trainmen
forthwith. Mr. Wilson denies that he is
sacrificing arbitration. He says that he
favors compulsory settlement of such dis
putes in the future, but pleads that it is
too late to enforce arbitration in the
present controversy."
The President said nothing of the sort. He said
he had no power to compel arbitration, and this, un
fortunately. was and is strictly true. The Sun should
beware of garbling and prevarication.
A READY FRIEND MAKER
(Douglas Island News)
Chas. A. Sulzer. Democratic candidate for Dele
gate to Congress, in a letter to the editor of the
News from Nome, says the outlook there, as well as
at all points in the Interior, are most favorable to
his election. His trip around the circle is proving
that he Is a ready friend maker. Even those who
are opposing him have not a word derogatory to him
as a man-honorable, upright and capable. The Pro
gressive-Miner of Ketchikan, an outspoken Republi
can paper but ardent supporter of Sulzer, says: "If
half of what the reports bring us from the Interior
of Alaska is true, Sulzer may be said to be elected.
It is said that he has made of every man, woman
and child in that part, a friend who will vote for
him at the election. If he can get half of that num
ber of votes, the First Division will land him high
and dry."
Danish statesmen declare that the sale of the
Danish West Indies was forced on them by the Unit
ed States. Doubtless meaning thereby that this
country offered so much money it was impossible to
resist accepting.?(Chicago Herald.)
If a railroad situation like the present again
arises the public will have only itself to thank and
to kick for it.?(Chicago Herald.) <

Luke McLuke Says
fie woman whe marries a good
fellow often has a had time of It.
One of the most unpopular men
In the world Is the fellow who is
too popular with hiuuvlf
in: boss is usuahy such an O'd
logy that he can't understand that
the !ad who can roll a cigarette
wrli one hand and hp 15 balls at
peel is his most uie.el employee.
The reason why a married man
njver saves anything when he gets
$5 per week raise In salary Is be
cause his wife immediately sees to
it that the. household expenses in
crease $7 per week.
A girl should never try to get out
of a hammock in a hurry when
there are men around unless she is
wearing her best stockings.
A wealthy woman often spends a
lot of time doing things for the poor
because she knows that her husband
spends a lot of his time doing
things to them.
Many a father who never had any
education has to support a son who
knows ten times as much as his
father does.
When we look Into , a mirror we
imagine that we are seeing our
selves as others see us. But wo arc
not.
The reason why there Is so much
trouble In the world is because a
woman believes everything a man
says before she marries him and
won't believe anything he says after
she marries him.
A man has a chance to get away
and do something. But what is a
nice girl going to do when there
are men around and a chigger starts
boring a hole just north of her
knee.
It doesn't hurt to be honest once
In a while. The truth of the matter
is that a pretty man spends as
much time in front of the mirror as
does a pretty girl.
Why is it that they never organ
ize any societies for the prevention
of things that you don't want to do?
It takes all sorts of people to
make a world, including the town
man who thinks he needs a bull
dog.
