Ketchikan. Alaska. March 1. 1919
GROSS NEGLIGENCE
In speaking of his trip to Kh ock Hydaburg.
Cra g and other settlement.- on the West coast
of Prince of Males Islands, the Rev. Condit of
Juneau, in charge of the Prt L.vterian mission
work in Alaska, said that some kind of shelter
should be provided at this t rd of the Portage
front Suizer. for the accommodation of passen
gers coming to Ketchikan. Fe mentioned an
instance that came unde: hi- n-. lice a few days
ago when a woman, dcririn : to come here for
medical treatment, walked err -s the Portage,
wai'ed three hours in an old table for shelter
from the element, only to walk back, owing to
the fact that the mail boat could not net close
enough to shore, on account of ice. to ta e her
aboard.
Such a condition is deplorable m spy the least,
and should not obtain. And would not if we
wer? not negligent or indifferent or more than
half awaked. A few miles from. Ketchikan, a
few hundred yards from Delegate Sul?er‘s home
town and comparative!1 a few nHes from the
horn41 of our Road Commissi -- v who, from all
repots, has been extra-?. v nenerous with
fun*’s for work about Jwv*nu : ’ ia-t venr.
Jrst now is the time f. art* n, The legis
lative is in session: won’t - -nerve! Club
tak" such action in this v ns will remedy
such delinouency. for such L must lie. Mith a
resolution adopted by the ( * nm real h ’ub pre
sent to our represeotatL might secure
the relief so glaringly needed.
On-Jhis subiect we d -- -’.vest that
steps be taken to bring c!o=*v mmerelal rela
tions between Ketchikan and the settlements
abo -e referred to. We ar riiably informed
that those peoples are inclin-:1 t favor Ketchi
kan to any other tov r o i ie s with. Ac
cord:ne to that, it >e to our ad
vantage to improve an npo~• u *’:*'• that mvht
brir a great deal to our t< the future.

1 to understand
■e first place, we
cend* place we
• kc that enemy
pay? If our government needs fnnds with
which to carry on the work of making the
enemy pay, let the government sell bonds. The
people will buy them. Later, make the enemy
pay the iisoessary sue* to radaan the toed*
in this manner nobody will have lost a penny
but our enemy. Whereas, If all the frequent
ers or movies or users of luxuries are made to
nay the cost of war. the lost to them is complete
Our government will never refund it neither the
enemy. The loss is individual and not national.
Yet the war was against the nation.
There was a time when we thought nothing
of war taxes because we knew the money went
to deliver France. Belgium and other countries
from the grasp of the Hun devils and free the j
seas from the U-sharks. We saw part of our (
meagre earnings stormed the Hindenberg line.;
We saw a plane that we help to buy bombing
the enemy's stronyhold, and we were ready to
dig some more for democracy and humanity and
for tomorrw’s safety. That was the way we
thought of war taxes in those days. Those days
are passed now and we hate like sixty to pay
double price to see the moveis—the poor man s
luxury. Why not make the enemy pay the dou
ble part of it? And this is what we claim is
hard to understand.
One billion dollars is all the dicerence the
neople must pay for the guarantee of the mar
ket price of wheat. This was made so by Ger
many's unexpected surrender. But it would
have cost much more to continue the war. So
after all we are ahead of the game.
HUN’S MALICIOUSNESS PROVED
Some additional light is shed on the German'
destruction of the magnificient edifice that has
been described as “frozen musie.”In an inter
view that Cardinal Lucon, archbishop of Reims
oramed the editor of Everybody’s, Howard
Wheeler, who reports it in the recent number.
* A- you know”the archibishop told Mr. Wheeler
••the Germans have stated that the French
army had been using the towers of the cathe
dral for observation purposes and that guns had
been concealed there. The fact is the French
leaders, fearing that harm would come to the
cathedral, refrained at all times from using it
for any military purposes whatever. When the
bombardments were commenced I immediately
wrote a letter to the pope, in which I solemnly
swore, on my honor as a man and as a prelate
of the church, that never had I abandoned my
mt^edral since the beginnine of the war and
that never at any time had it been used for mol
Ptarv purposes. All to no avail. The bombard
ment continued at intervals and my old cathe
dral is battered piecemeal—and it breaks my
heart.”
Cordova sympathizes with Valdez in the poor
..•ail service it alleges this city receives. While
r>,r - »rvice has been up to the standard we are
a lens ways from needing sympathy yet. Bu
sine s has been good and the paucity of vessels
has kept our citizens from imbibing too much
