KETCHIKAN. ALASKA. FRIDAY, OCT. 15. 1915.
WE HOPE FOR THE BEST
Is yesterday's Progressive-Miner, there appeared, a
ftatem-ect from a reputable person of the medical
profession. m which a data is made of the discovery
of a cure for tabercsloss. The most w onderful achieve
Eteat* of the age- SoneOuic the most ieamed .have
strives to discover for ages, yet if »e take Dr. Brown's
statement as accurate, those wise ©id doctors asust tip
their hats off to our lady resident doctor. Not ©Bly
the “wise ©3d doctors' but the world owes this woman
a debt that cannot be paid in dollars and cents.
The sceptics are not likely to accept a mere state
ment as ftnai ana will want t© ascertain the facts
leading to the discovery, what results and how obtain
ed. And it will be well, as the public has been impos
ed upon by fakers before- Besides, it is the duty of
the profession to investigate and in case of fraud,
whether intentional cr otherwise, should warn the
public. It has been said that honest lawyers car. be
found. If we have honest doctors in Ketch'kan. let
them investigate the wonderful discovery and make
their report. If the cure has any real value, a re
port from reputable doctors will only help Doctor
Brown, if the contrary appears, die public will be sav
ed the experimentation period through which such a
wonderful discovery must pass.

THE ONLY WAY TO LOOK AT IT
Of course we are grateful that we have the Maroon:
Wireless system with which we maintain cecair-uncs
tsan between our fair community and the outside
world: but that isn't the point. The point is that
here we have a government owned public utility that costs
thousands of dollars every year, that :s oat of eotnmis
sos a great deal of the time, yet during that time
the public is ma.de to pay just the same as if it - is
in use, that is to say, the expense for operators, offices j
and what not continue. All for the lack of a few
thousand dollars with which to replace the okl rotten
.•able by a new one. One should always look a little
beyond one's own inconveniences. Our telersphlc news
costs us two cents a word a day, and while the rate
is .juste reasonable, yet the deficiency of the cabie
system is not lost sight of thereby, for the simple
reason that the cost to the government of that cabie
still obtains. No the Marconi Wireless is a princely
adjunct to oar community but it does not reduce the
cost of the roaintainanoe of the rotten government
cable.

IN THE NICK OF TIME
-♦ 4 4
A certain sportsman went out for a day's rough
shooting. Not being a particularly good shot, the
bag was nothing, and. as he did not like to return
empty-handed, he bought a rabbit in the t©"® on his
way home. He presented it to his wife, who after
expressing her thanks, thoughtfully remarked:
“It was a good thing you shot that rabbit when
voa did, John; it wouldsX have kept another day."

FAMILIAR TONGUE
A venerable English lady lately went to Fat is on a
l.o'iaay. and was greatly .on:used a: the table of
ton. ties she heard there. At length she heard a cock
crow, whereupon she joyfully exclaimed:
, “Thank goodness, 1 have '.card a bit of my own
English at last’.''

We're not curious, nor nutlun’, but we d like to know
what she calls hint—“Willie, “Woody" or “Prexy,* and
when and how the matter was broached, if it has bee®
broached, of dropping the dignified “Mr. President'
for something more dove-like and coxy. —Tacoma News.

GRANDMA'S HOUSE
(From the Kansas City Times)
There are always prim or stately or homely Gow
ers nodding in the back garden. Within, there :s
always an old-fashioned clock-ticking atmosphere of
peace that will not fret the tempers of little boys and
girls; always, eyes the years have filled with tender
wisdom to watch lovingly above the play of grand
children; always, cookies waiting in tke great old, bat
tered can in the pantry for the arrival of sweetheart
fingers; always, a deep closet in which are the toys of
bygone years, all patched and mended by grandma
when her little one grew away from them., and kept
: here by her against this time, just waiting. Suer
toys that must suffer to be cast aside and ye: must
always be ready and never failing when the next pudgy
hands cecre to take them up, hold the mellowest heart
aches the world, and tragedies as great and dumb as
the worn shoes of babies who went off on a day
; with the angels.
This is grandma's house. And the more houses
of grandma a city holds the more blessed It is abox
its fellows.
