KETCHIKAN. ALASKA, DECEMBER 16. 1915
WE ARE IN THE SAME BOAT
It is conceded all over the United Sta.es that!
the Underwood Tariff has raised cain in some parts |
of the country. For instance; if we take lumber, it
chopped off the duty to practically nothing and allow
ed the Canadians to compete. Results: Shutting
down of the sawmills, logging camps and all of the
commerce along that line, yet the consumers canno.
see how they were much benefited according to a
report by a Democratic Com mission that was ap
pointed to investigate the condition along the Sound
Now that commission is prepared to recommetai to
return to the old way of dong things.
In Ketchikan, we are just in the same boat as
the lumbermen on the Sound. The Canadian gov
ernment is desirous of taking our fish commerce,
and to that end it has dropped everything in the way
and proceeded to encourage the fishermen to go to
the Canadian ports to do business. Y'et the fish
ermen cannot say that they have been much bene
fitted. a* least not in proportion to the injury they
have done this country. If the tariff can regulate
prosperity on the Sound we cannot see why a duty
on exporters of fish cannot help some.

SHOWS SIGN OF LIFE
According to telegraphic news, England is shew
ing signs of life. The rush of recruits to enlist
has never been equaled in the history of the country
and much less in the history of the present war. and
shows that the Britishers are thoroughly roused at
sast. They have finally woke up to the realization
that their country is confronting a serious situation
and needs greater efforts on the part of the citizens
than ever before.
Heretofore, it appears that the little nations in
volved in this conflict were made to carry too much
load and presumably some thoughtful men pointed
that out to England, with the result that nearly four
million of Britishers wHl soon be in the fields, ac
cording to the reports.
From now on. it is clear that England and
Russia will have to carry the bulk of the burden,
as the others are somewhat weakened by the long
strain they were made to carry through the slow pro
cess that England used to come to the full realisa
tion of the situation. Roused at last, she is rapid
ly moving the element of uncertainty out of the way.

“The Forty-Ninth Star" has just reached our
office in good shape, just as anybody would expect.
Be it known that the above named star is a pub
lication just started in the town of A aide*, edited
and published by John Frame, the former publisher
of the Valdei Commoner. It is just like the Com
moner, full of spicy, newsy and interesting material.
The old saving that “You can’t keep a good man
down" applies here. We surely welcome the Forty
Ninth Stas

EVANESCENT HATRED
(From the Post-Intelligencer)
Even while the war lasts the story of the hate
of the United States is not all one way. Not many
good haters of America could be found in Belguim,
we fancy. And in Servia the names of Dr. Ryan
and other Americans, who threw themselves into a
battle more perilious than that in the trenches—we
mean the battle against typhus—can hardly be held
in execration. The new Poland will not be very
apt to mjje war upon us for what we have done
for Polish relief. And the belligerent nation are
not without evidence that the war has disclosed
the fact that not all Americans are heartless and
money grabbers. But put the case at its worst.
Suppose that France and Germany and England hate
this country. Nevertheless it will be to their inter
est to cultivate good relations with us when peace
comes. This has just been frankly stated by the
Manchester Guardian. In a discussion of the Amer
ican note to the British government—to some of
t.ie terms of which it took strng exception—it urged
a calm and friendly spirit as regards the whole af
tair. for the following reason: Let no one forget that
when this war is over, cordial friendship with the
I nited Mates wiTl be. not a luxury, but a necessitv
of British policy: we have to consider, not onlv the
matters now, but what will matter then." Could
the voice of Gerrrau rulers be heard, h would un
doubtedly be of the same tenor. If German in
dustry and commerce are to be restored, their de
pendence on American supplies and the -American
~*rket is so indisnutable that the idea of Germanv
parsumg a policy of sullen hatred toward the Unit
ed State? is mconcehrable.
