KETCHIKAN. ALASKA, JANUARY 21, 1916.
HE IS SURE OF SOME SUPPORT
According to telegraphic news, Bryan is after Pres
ident Wilson, has policy and we may as well include
his “goat” also, with an apparent determination that
avers of spite. It may be that Wilson made himself
tco popular to suit Bryan's fancy, or ambition as the
case may be. However, he is required to be full}
prepared to hattlv or the people's favor. While pre
paredness appears to be a popular move, should Bryan
decide to stand firm against Wilson and his policy
he issure to have considerable support; if not from
the Democrats, from the Republicans, but support he
shall have.
The Republicans have learned a lesson and as a
general rule, they are pretty long headed, and the
more opposition to Wilson they can create, the bet
tor is their chance to win at the next election. Bear
ing that in mind, they will encourage Bryan in his uni
versal peace propaganda and when the time comes to
elect a president, the Democrats will be divided and
-isrhting among themselves and the “foxy” Republi
cans will slip by leaving the Democratic party gasp
ing for breath. Jus; the same as the Democrats did
four years ago. They encouraged the Progressives
and helped in the defeat of the Republicans. To us
it is a case of "sick him Rover.” while the thief
tins awav with the boodle.

THE HOMELESS
Who of us have not seen at some time or other a
house full of beautiful furniture, complete in con
venience and luxuries, but found that the man and
woman occupying the house were homeless. If we
reflect for a moment, we must admit that we have
seen such a place where we never found anyone at
home, as it were. There are men and women who
have such beautiful places, yet the}- hardly ever stay
a: home. They h'. enter for their meals and for a
few hours of sleep but soon depart for the clubs where
-hey will likely r.,- : with others of the same mind,
end spend their : ■ >.e. Many women are the same now
days. They will go to a club meeting or gossipping ]
r ndez-vous where they seem to enjoy themselves im- ,
ipensely, but at home, they are restless. To such
men a nd women to whom marriage is a mere social j
contract— without the element of sociability—and the
family a mere conventional arrangement, there is
no going home. There is no refuge for the spirit,
no place where they can call a real home. As a gen- j
eral rule, they are homeless men and women, restless.,
dicsontented and unhappy. And. there are no more
pathethic figures in the world today than such men
and women, because there is no going home for them.
-♦ + ♦
Another thing that is a puzzle to most of us is
that besides the fact that the transportation com
panies start their boats from Seattle in bunches for
-he north is the further fact that they will arrive here
at night, almost invariably so. Could it be possible
that they have a grudge against Alaska in general
with Ketchikan as a foundation?

NOTHING BI T AMERICAN
When I look back on the shifting scenes of my
life, if I am not that altogether deplorable creature,
a man without a country, I am, when it come to
pull and prestige, almost equally bereft, as I am a
man without a state. 1 was born in Indiana. I grew
up in Illinois. I was educated in Rhode Island—and
it is no blame to that scholarly community that I
know so little. 1 learned my law in Springfield and
my politics in Washington, my diplomacy in Europe,
Asia and Africa. I have a farm in New Hampshire
and desk room in the District of Columbia. When
I look to the springs from which my blood descends,
the first ancestors 1 ever heard of were a Scotchman,
who was half - English, and a German woman who
was half French. Of my immediate progenitors, my
mother was from New England and my father was
from the South. In this bewilderment of origin and
experience I can only put on an aspect of deep hu
m'lity ir. any gathering of favorite sons and confess
that I am nothing but an Americal.—From the Life
and Letters of John Hay in Harper's Magazine.

MAR MAY COME
All of us, in office and out of office, hope and pray
that an international dispute will never arise that
cannot besettled through peaceful methods; but we
know just as well as we know that our government
will continue, that a difference may appear which
cannot be adjusted either by diplomacy or arbitra
tion.
We know that an indignity may be put upon us
which we will resent. Me know that an assault
may be made upon - which we must resist. Me
! know that there may come a time when we must
fight or lose our right to sit in the council of the
world. We know that a day may be drawn when
•ives will be the price of liberty, when our territorial
integrity can be preserved only with guns, and when
t-nr national honor must be maintained by the
strength of an army and navy.—Albert. B, Cummins.
