OI K CHOI:
The last few days have hi rdiftc of dis
cussions of the quali'irati r. e -everal can
didates for election to the l or the coming!
term, and while our opinh . choice for the
mayoralty is worth anythin t, we are free
to say that it has been t .1 re teat edit. One
man who says is a "new • requests us to
name our ehoice.
Everything considered, in opinion, the
best informed candidate e needs of the
town as well as its linan. : . t lion, is M. J.
Heneghan, whose qua’ifu ' ; the office
cannot be questioned. I: experience
both as councilman an r. v. •> are proud
to say he made good. He i a A workingman
and whatever he posse se-'. i do here and is.
all within the city limits. He a man who is
not ashame to pack his • his back thru
the streets. He is by cha nt ns well as by
choice one of the masses: ' u: rinnately, not
of the Bolshevik tendenct. r. i: r of the schem
ing get-rich quick variety. He : progressive in
a practical way. With h::.i 1 executive of
our municipal gevernnu " no fear that
Ketchikan will become . * schemers or
agitators, and prosper;:- n.inue to favor
us. This is our opinion '-idate heading
the municipal ticket at the \'.g election. As
to councilmanic timber. ; c the voters to
elect men who have been ’noting whatever
business they are in. c v v, and Ketchi
kan shall be safe at lea-. : ” > her year.

e With pro
d. food is gett
ing harder to secure. The only crop that is pro
fitable is the crop of anarchy and nurders and
outrages and speeches^ and neither of them are
good substitute for food. But this terror is
bound to consume itself. The day is drawing
near when the ignorant, the bestial and the cra
zed will no longer rule in Russia or anywhere
else. The people will come to their senses and
'earn that it is by industry, by energy well spent
by brains and by thrift that a people gains com-1
fort and happiness, and not by robbery and out- j
rage and agitation.
The British government in requesting our
State Department not to issue passports to tem
perance or prohibition advocates for use in any
part of the British dominions, has shown no re-;
gard for reciprocity. Didn't we let in the milit- j
ant suffragists, including the old dame Mrs. |
ranknurst: Anyhow, the prohibition agita
tors wouldn’t like to get over in England or some
other British possession and be sent back home!
as undesirable aliens. They wouldn’t admit they
were undesirable in the first place and that j
would cause more trouble.
The German National Assembly has decided
that industrial material taken from France and
Belgium must be returned, this is either a
sign of awakening conscience, or an effort to get
a reduction of the bill.of damages. More likely
the latter, for it is very doubtful whether the
Hun has such a thing as a conscience.
When one contemplates the new war taxes1
and the high cost of living, it is difficult to leave
the ex-kaiser to the stings of his own conscience
We should like to shake him a bit.-Toledo Blade
THE MAN WHO WON THE WAR
Now we know who won the war.
Some have said it was the United States, some
have said it was the gallant little Belgium,
others have given credit to France, while it has
been generally assumed that the British Empire
had had something to do with it.
But not atall. These guesses were all a mile
out. in fact several thousand miles out. It was
that master strategist.the same military genius
who on a famous occasion told Kitchener where
he was wrong, who stepped out at the critical
moment and showed Generalissimo Foch and
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig how to defeat
Germany. It was of course. Sir Sam Hughes.
Sir Sam has told us all about it. He wrote—
surely he should have cabled to Foch and Haig
and urged them to quit frontal attacks and as
sault the enemv's flanks. Then acting under
I
Sir Sam's advice they changed their whole sche
me of operations, and went out and won the war.
*i myself.didit," says the redoutable Sir Sam. j
And to think that all this time we were ignor
ant of the truth as to how the war was won—
