AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
The remarkably high tempe
ratures prevailing throughout
most of the Territory during
the present winter have again
resurrected that ancient spec
ulate 1 regarding possible
changes in the Japan current,
as a result of volcanic or other
seismic disturbances.
It may be true that there has
been n shifting of the ocean
current but we recall that
every unusually warm wintet
occuring since the days of the
great gold rush has given rise
tjo a vast deal of conjecture ov
er the same subject. And if,
recollection serves aright, each
such mild winter was invari
ably followed by a resumption
of the usual winter weather
conditions during succeeding
winter sfor several years.
Two mild winters never came
together so far as the memory
of man runneth j whence wt
opine that no one should let
the present salubrious season
mislead them into buying a
lighter overcoat for use next
winter.

The merchants and business
men of Hyder never fail to con
tribute a major portion of the
cost of every public benefit.
They are the principal con
tributors to every charitable
cause. They are forever being
asked to give something or to
buy something in aid of this or
that. And, with rare excepting,
they always “come through,”
no matter how thick and fast
they come. But not one single
case of mail order houses con
tributing to these enterprises
has ever been heard of and it
might be a timely suggestion
to use that mail order cata
logue to start some of the early
spring fires with, so that said
merchants and business men
may know that their contribut
ions have not been in vain.

The increasing value of the
newspaper, from the stand
point of business, is frankly
avowed n a statement just out
bv the National Association of
Credit Men. However, among
; members of this organization,
and among business men gen
erally, the value of the news
paper, even in the daily rout
ine of business, has always
been recognized and properly
appraised. But the point in
the recent declaration is that
the reading of newspapers in
the offices of business men
; once looked upon as a waste
of time, is now regarded as an
! act not to be condemned and
; a real necessity.
-o
I The attack made by Rupert
i Hughes and other iconoclast*
on George Washington was to
expected of course. The icono
clastically inclined have been
very busy doing things like
that for several years. The
reputation of no great histori
cal figure is entirely safe u
the hands of these people
who, for no defensible reasoi
assail the fair fame of the il
lustrious dead, who, locked ir.
the eternal silence of the
grave, cannot defend them
selves. One cannot help won
dering what satisfaction thest
i people find in exposing to the
eyes of the later generation.
the frailities of those whom
mankind has been accutomeo
to revere as shining example;
human virtue. Why besmirch
i.the unblemished robes of hon
; or swathing their silent, re
cumbent forms? Why not let
i them remain as shining ex.
j amples of virtue and goodness
whom later generations may
i aspire to emulate? We cannot
; understand wherein truth de
mands the assassination of un
spotted reputations or wherein
humanity is in the least bene
fited by being made aware,
that its revered idols of brast
had feet of clay.
However, in the case of Georgi
Washington there is a curious
ly implied contradiction even
among those who claim that
Washington swore and drank
and otherwise misconducted
himself. They would leave tht
impression that he was fa:
; from being a hypocrite-that
he was bluff and frank in his
truculent peccadilloes.
In the addresses.and writings
of George Washington, we
find a singularly reverent and
devout spirit. His utterances
are conspicuous by their refer
ence to Deity and to prayerful
[ness and faith in divine guid
ance. It is a matter of histori
cal record that he prayed foi
help and guidance at Valley
Forge, when the cause of the
' republic seemed the most des
perate. He could not have
manifested such religious spiril
and at the same time have
been scornful of religion, with
out being a hypocrite. And hfc
detractors make him out to be
anything but a hypocrite. And
therein lies the contradiction
Why is it that those who clqip:
: to have new revelation or
i historical personages and e
| vents wait so long for their dis
j dosures? How do they hap
I oen to have superior know
i ledge of or access to the actua
j facts?
| Even the word-of-mouth tra
I litions handed down fron
j father to son, are not al
: together untrustworthy. I:
: Washington had been a rough
leek and low-minded person
his own contemporaries woult
| have known it and they woult
have transmitted the informat
| Ion to their descendants. Sucl
, a theory does not hold good
Washington was revered, ev<ei
* during his life. He was knowi
as a good man and one witl
a particularly broad and keei
vision into the future. The cir
cumstantial evidence * sustain
Ing Mr.Hughes’ theory is ver;
thin indeed .

When we hear a girl raving
about how “swell” a dresser
some young sap is we can’t
help recalling that most of the
world’s big jobs are done by
men who don’t know what
kind of a tie is becoming to
them.

how small it is now—the bank may help make it larger.
