EDITORIAL PAGE
At a nominating caucus held la
Ketchikan on the fourteenth of the
mouth, sixty-four names were plac
ed on the ticket for couocllmen. A
committee was selected to visit the
nominees and accept withdrawals,
should anyone decline to enter
(he race for election. If there
are no declinations, the whole sixty
four names will be printed on one
ballot and the voters can take their
cnoice. It is certainly a very dem
ocratic way of conducting an elec
tion, and does away with much hos
tility that usually accompanies city
elections.
Can someone who is familiar with
tiie working of modern business,
- Attain the following for the beue
iit of the Petersburg Progressive?
Explanation wanted: ? Freight car
ryiug boau bringing coal from Se
attle to Ketchikan which is sold to
the consumer at the rate of $9.00
per tou. From Ketchikan to Pet
ersburg, a run by boat or approxi
mately nine hours, for the identical
co.-., the consumer is made to pay
i 12.00 per tou for. From Peters
burg to Janeau another run of
twelve hours is required, and
tuero that same idontical coal is
solt' for SS.OO. Can some one
explain?
John Frame has again broken
into the newspaper business having
started a p;'per at Valdez called
Tbe Coxaioner. Frame has start
ed a half dozen "Truths" in his
da> in Alaska, and they have all
I eon crushed to earth. He has
adopted Tfie Commoner as a title.
Tua Coiun oner is patterned some
thing after the Bryan Commoner,
only it is not so voluminous.
Frame h;is a fearless way of talk
1 and t .ere is always method
in his sv< ches, as witness the fol
lowing from his editorial columns:
There *ias been a great change in
the minds of the people in the last
few years and also ? great change
in their way of thinking. There
U a great Ural more independent
thought throughout the country
thau there was ten years ago
A few years a^o if one were ask
??* to name ihe 'leading citizens"
ct a place, he would have given
you a list of lawyers, three or four
men handling merchandise and
irobably a landlord or two. But
diiould that Question be asked to day
the names mentioned would be
those of the producer iu the place,
men who are openiug up miues,
establishing industries by which the
people are enabled to get employ
ment, such as machine shops and
(actcries of all kinds.
What au Alaska city wauts to
?lo if it expects to amount to any
thing, is to produce as much as it
ran of the things that it consumes.
The man who hei^s her most to do
this is hor "leading citizen." A
uian that produces all the products
ia Valdez that the community con
sumes is more of a "leading citizen"
than any capitalist whose chief em
ployment is collecting rent from
some poor cuss who has to work
from morn till night, for his bread.
U some man can demonstrate that
broom-corn will grow in certain lo
calities in?thls district and will mak
all the brooms consumed in this
community he would be more of a
loading citizen, than the man who
buys a broom in Chicago for .20
nnd sells it to the prospector for
.76. The man who comes to Val
dez and opens up a machine shop
ii more of a "leading citizen" than
tne hardware merchant who buys a
monkey-wrench In Chicago for forty
(cents and sells 11 to me miner m
Vnidez for $1.25. The machine
man is a public benefactor.
The blacksmith is a "leading
citizen" because he produces some
thing but the man who buys a
horse-shoe for fifty cents and sells
it to the blacksmith for eighty
cents is a pirate. ,
The man who will secure the
building of a railroad in Alaska,
tc be operated by the people and
for the people will be a "leading
citizen" for railroads will do more
than any other one thing to foster
industries in this country.
The maa who keeps the trail
open and moves freight in this
country is certainly a "leading citi
zen" because he is doing some
thing to assist the man who is es
tablishing an industry somewhere
"Business men," are in a way
uecessary citizens but they to often
assume that they are exclusively
"leading." Nothing in it, and the
people are thinking more about it
every day. Hence all this progres
siveness you are hearing about.
Italian Women Beautiful
Because They Eat
Spaghetti
By UNA CAVALIER1. Italian Prima Donna

CRULY. THE SPAGHETTI IS AN AMBROSIAL FOOD. FIT FOR
GODS AND FOR GODDESSES. AND I BELIEVE THAT IT
MAKES ONE BEAUTIFUL. FOR ARE NOT THE WOMEN OF
MY ITALY THE LOVELIEST IN ALL THE WORLDT AND
DO THEY NOT PARTAKE OF THE SPAGHETTI? IS IT NOT TO
THEM THfc STAFF OF LIFEf
They have not indigestion and white, fat faces and slow moving
bodies. They are tall, and there is a dusky red in their brown cheeks,
for they are well, gloriously well, and the reason is that EASY TO
DIGEST SPAGHETTI.
I eat anything ? bread, soup, meat, vegetables, sweets ? and my
spaghetti. Always I have the appetite. I do not know why, but I
do. And my singing is not troubled that I eat as other people. No,
indeed ! And I do not grow fat, no matter how much I eat Is not
that nice ?
I think the fat, ngly woman is the lazy woman. Sometimes her
body is LAZY ; sometimes her brain is lazy; sometimes both. NO
ONE WHO IS STUPID IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL The eyes
are dull and the smile is vacant unless there is a lively intelligence
behind.
I WORK, but no one knows how T work. I study, study and
practice, going over my eld, old, scales, learning the new songs and
operatic scores. That keeps my brain WAKED UP AND
LIVELY. I do not let it get what yon call "slow."
