Narrow-minded indeed is the person \\Mio
mks nothing to admire in the (ierinan feat
of sending a merchant submarine to Amer
ica, discharging her eargo and getting her
saifelv Imek into deep w?ter under a dozen
enemy warships that were lying in wait to
seize her.
l*ast week tin* Democrats were in session
at Juneau ami this work the Republicans
wore in tho front ranks at the same placo.
W ti'k after next the W. C. T. I . will meet
in eonvention there and probably something
else the following week. .Innean is cer
tainly in line for contracting the convention
habit.
Notwithstanding tin- fact that Canada
has already -uhscribed one hundred million
dollar- of a war loan, she is contemplating
issuing war bonds for seventy-five millions
more. When it is considered that Canada
ha.- le*> than eight million population, it
inn>t be admitted that she is not shirking
anything iu the line of what she considers
her duty to the Mother country.
"Skookum Jim" Mason, at one time the
wealthiest Indian in the north, died recently
at his hotne, Careross, Yukon. Jim was a
brother-in-law of Cieorge Carmack and was
with liim when he made liis tamou- discov
ery on 1 bonanza creek, near Ihiwson, in 1 Hill J.
Jim -ecu red No. below discovery and it
turned out to be one of the richest claims on
the creek. Notwithstanding the fact that
practically every man who worked on Jim's
claim robbed him right and left! lie cleaned
up and got out with considerably more than
one hundred thousand dollars. It should
have been fully a million. In later years
Jim lo-t most of his money and when In
died he left practically nothing;
The Progressive-Minor of Ketchikan in

an outside town, the editor of this paper can

Kit Y ATT AND CASEMENT
The execution by the (tcrmans of Cap
| tain Frvaitt of t lie British steamship Brus
sels, because of an alleged effort to ram a
(terman buhmarine, evoked indignant com
ment from tin* Iiondon press.
The Times says editorially:
The Herman government has perpetrated another
ouo of ilioHf atrocious net ? which wring the heart Hiid
arou>e the boundless indignation of hII virilized men.
The Daily Mail savs:
The murdei of Captain Fryatt is tbe wont brutal
outrage committed in thin war. It surposses in Its
naked horror the sinkii g of tho Lusitauia and t ha ex*
edition of Miss Edith Cavell.
The Morning Post says:#
The Itr it i?h are a patient people, but these repeat
ed du?taidly outrages ara more than they can stand,
and let theUermans he aura that the llritish inercan
tile maiine, the lir iti-h navy and the llritish nation
will not forget these things. Tbey will bo visited up
on litirmitij in good tiuie with oompouud interest.
The Daily News says:
Assume that the charg* be irrefutably proved:
that the venlict bo unassailable, the death by ? hoot
ing remains an outrage against any instinct of human
ity and eveiy canon of international law.
The Daily Chronicle says:
If the object of tiie Ueiman government wore to
render the Hi it i - li sentihient absolutely implacablo
tonaul Germany and to make the (Jermuu name
among us a synonym for infamy for generations, they
could haidly take a straighter way to it than by tho
murder of Captain Fryatt.
Without passing on the justice of the
Fryatt ease, so far as we have been able to
learn, not one of the above mentioned lead
ing and prominent English publications, to
the astonishment of the rest of the world,
printed a line in defence of Sir lioger Case
i incnt, a loyal British subject, whose offense
was not that he loved England less, but Ire
, land more.
