Ketchikan, Alaska, Saturday, March 15, 1019
WE MIGHT TRY
Before many weeks, the expected rush to Alas
ka shall be on in earnest. At least a rush has
been predicted, and new comers will want to
locate somewhere andas sure a anything can
be, some will want to settle here. Bearing that
in mind, and taking in consideration the fact
that we want to build up our town, it would be
well if we were to check up a hit and prepare to
give Ketchikan a boost, The best way that we
know of to build up a town is to stand by every
man in the place who doe-; rioht. Whenever a
man is doing welldo not tear Inm down. All le
sidents should be partners, not opponents. In all
livelihoods the more business your rival gets the
more you will do, Every business man who
treats his customers honestly and fairly will get |
his share, and the more business that can be se- j
cured by united efforts, the better it will be for
all. When tt Vown ceases to y w it begins to die
and the more people try to onchother’s busi
ness intheir town the more road’-v will utter ruin
come to all. Stand together for the advancement
of every citizen, is our idea. !i ’’an shows ability
to prosper do not pull hkn hack thru Jealousy
or weight him down throiv n cold indiffeience.
If you put in a good word fov another, specially
to new comers, it will not hurt you. On the con
trary, it will come back to you in kind,and inci
dentally, will help the town We might try.
JUST TO FINL FAULT
Some may say that we are envious. Fortu
nately we are notAVe confess of being ambitious
but not envious. But that n ; what we started
to say, which is this: The first article of our
Federal Constitution savs in part:
“No person holding' any office of profit or trust
under them (the United Stater;) shall without
the consent of Congress, accept of any present,
emolument, office, or title, of any kind wheatever
from any king, prince, or foreign state.”
Now,on his first trip to Furope. President
Wilson was showered w:th ift and presents
from kin-s. princes and fcrewn p"f«ntates. It
is said that he was given > much that it requir
ed special cars to transport them. So far as we
are concerned, that part of it would not cut a
great figure if it wasn’t not for the fact that all
that stuff istobe admitted into the country free
of duty.
If you wish to send a letter in a hurry, write
in one corner of the envelope “in haste”The post
master and clerks will fall over each other t°
<'ret t in the mail bag first, and then they will sit
down to wait for a boat. Aweek or ten days or
such a matter. Meanwhile some will hollow
their fool heads off for the government to take
over all public utilities including the cable and
the cable repairing ship Burnside.
Some doctors think that the new woman is
getting round shouldered from wearing suspend
ers to support heavy skirts. That is a grave
mistake. In our opinion if the new woman is get
ting round shouldered, it is caused by suporting
good-for-nothing husbands like some of the pro
fession .
FAILURE OF GENERAL STRIKE
There is no question that in the sympathetic
strike so ingloriously started by the Central
T abor Council of Seattle and which was one of
labor’s greatest blunders, was revolutionary in
its aim. One of the published statements was
to the effect no newspapers were to be print
ed except Revolutionary Papers and thanks to j
the Mayor and the Chief of Police the revoluti I
onary or c an was suppressed and its officials ar-1
rented. The strikewas known to have failed at!
twMifht on the first day when the municipal and j
private electric lights twinkled brightly at the
usual hour. The chief brag of the strikers was
that the lisrhts were to be turned off and when
thev shown forth that first evening they were
like beacons of hopes to the American citizens.
Then it was that public opinion saw the light and j
"r*t behind the Mayor and Chief and the soldiers:
t ater when the car employes, the teamsters and i
others deflected from the temple of anarchy and
Mayor Hanson issued his ultimatum, the public
knew the end was near and in three days the
strikers in the most abiect manner possible ac
knowled^ed their utter defeat and called off the
strike. It was a silly play and a complete failure :
Tn place of muzzling the press, it turned former j
lv friendly papers into enemies. In place of shut
tmoDfl' news, the Oregonian of the neighboring
cifv sent up thousands of copies daily with com
nW* reports and those reports told what the
TT. S. Army, the Mayor and the police were do
in<r. in place of hurting Seattle.its many idle
••pporters were able to send by wire thousands s
of words to the Easter papers and in the eyes!
of the American public the union members of
were made ridiculous to such an extent
♦ there own national feaders ■rebuked them.
veors the Central labor Council has been
n feHoHne' sore in Seattle’s body politic, and
when the showdown came Seattle answered.
