0 APT. A \V THOMAS. Ketchikan
I. P HAWKS, of Wmn(t*U.
The commercial club down at
Ketchikan recently took up the
quest io>V of exorbitant rates for
powtoffio- l?ox rent They went to
the de|vart aX'Tit *t Washington * ith
the eompl tint and very soon their
complaint waa answered bv the
First Assistant Postmaster General
who notified them that hereafter
the rates ? oulil be rinliiPul to the
following priiw
Small. 4.V j?er quarter.
Medium. Srtc per quarter
l-ar*e, ,5c per quarter.
The only way to Ret things in
t h s< world is to (to alter them, and
this is* a tip for the Skajjway com
mercial cluh The P?ily Alaskan
has already taken the matter up
with the department at Washington
and If we can (set the support of
the cit i*ens generally, a reduction
in rates can be secured for this
The sensitive. fluttering brain of
Editor Rushell of the Ketchikan
Miner is shocked Br some unheard
of method an idea soaked into his
intellect which caused him to cry
.mcuish Ttiis whirlwind
? amp i.gr. r for lost causes is men
tall v agitated because the editor of
the I*ailv Alaskan re'erred to the
Von-Partisan" ticket as "Anti
Home Rule, when every member.
?ith one exception, has been closely
associated with the movement."
Th? ltaily Alaskan referred to
the co ibination as Anti-Home Rule
for the simple reason that it is
hack?s1 bv such enemies of Home
Rale a? Kditor Pushell, who since
he graduated from the Gloomy Gus
school of journalism has fought
home rule at every opportunity, and
because every man in the district
who has opposed home rule is today
supporting that combination Even
Rushell's own delegates wouldn't
stand for *he combination as framed
up at Juneau, and are today active
ly supporting the Ke?chiltan candi
date of the Home Rule party.
Supposing the men who were noni
inatcd on the Anti ticket have, in
the past, been assiociated with the
home rule movement, will they not
U- under political obligations to the
Antis who are trying to elect them?
The mere fact that they are seeking
Jobs at the hands of the old gang
is sufficient evidence that their pre
vious association was only skin
deep They want the jobs right or
wrong, home rule or anti. for or
against
The sincere lovers of Alaska will
make no trades or combinations
with its enemies.
Politicians are known by the
company they keep The men who
?pend their time and money in back
ing a ticket will come pretty near
controlling the men they elect.
The Home Rule ticket is backed
by the voter* of Alaska, by the
home lovers and the home rulers,
the same today as in the past, and
when that ticket is elected it will
be controlled by the voters, and not
by any frame-up In the Interest of
the old gang
Kdltorially the Whltehorse Star
says:
The Star greatly deplores the mis
erable mesa In which local social
conditions sre now floundering ow
ing to political and factional dif
ferences Neighbor is arrayed
against neighbor, former boaotn
friends meet and pass with scarcely
more than a grunt ? some times not
even that. The former good feel
ing and goodfellowahlp which char
acterised NVhltehorse and her peo
ple have been burled beneath dark
and gloomy monuments of hatred,
malice, scowls, bickerings and gen
et al oussedneea? - a deplorable state
of affairs to exist in a town such
as this is.
"I won't bowl or curl If So-atul
So bowls or curls" is an expression
frequently heard and uttered by
those who would resent being call
ed narrow-minded. They are mak
ing themselves miserable, as well
as spreading a mantle of misery,
malice and dissension over the com
munity
l.lfe is loo short to be lived in
such an atmosphere of strife Such
??ocial conditions are not for men
who would succeed either in busi
ness or politic*. Cut It out, bury
the hatchet, and surprise God Al
mighty by asking His aid in making
you bigger, broader and better men
? not forgetting that God helps
1 those who help themselves
Growing old is a habit. People
of airl seventy who think they
arc oW, do Vut d.-eam. The host
work of this life ia performed by
people of that age. Dr. Karl Barnes,
formerly professor in Stanford I'ni
j versity. ha* compiled statistic* show
ing that only one per cent of the
:-eal things of this life are accom
plished by thoee who are under 40
vears of age
He haa compiled a list of 400 of
he most noted men in all linen of
iction through the ages of civilisa
tion The honor roll comprised au
thors, architects, painters, poets,
philosophers, philanthropists, scient
ists, sculptors, statesmen and war
riors. Opposite the name of each
celebrity was placed that of his
greatest achievement.
The roll call of fame was submit
ted to competent critics and under
went several revisions. Finally that
decade of each character's life In 1
which he had docv his greatest work_
was put down
The result was astonishing. Ex
pressed mathematically, it is to this
effect Thirty-five per cent of the
world's greatest achievements have
l?een done by men between the
ages of fi?? and 70. Twenty-three
per cent came from men between 70
and 80. while mer. over 80 did 6
per cent Only 1 per cent was
achieved by men below 40. 10 by
those between 40 and 50, and 25
per cent between 50 and SO,
Briefly put, men who had passed
their 60th year have done 64 per
rent of the great achievements of
culture and history, and the world
owes even more to men over 80
Than to men below 40.
The best products of human ex
istence come from men in the full
maturity of their spiritual, intellect
ual or artistic powers is the opinion
?>f L>r Earl Barnes The finest
>utput of a good, strong and vir
tuous man does not come until he
is over 60. Modem discrimination
against men over 40 hardly endures
the test of the world's experience.
So long as men retain their faculties
the experience, study and toll of a
life-time increase their usefulness
