Alaska in particular and the Territory in general.
KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, MAY 10, 1916.
GOOD OINTMENT.
Germany replied to President Wilson’s complaint
and threat and the reply was accepted as the proper
ointment with which to heal our blistered pride and
quiet our tormented feeling; and everything is well
It is remarkable when a person is injured how
quickly he recovers when he finds that there is no
remedy except by mixing up- Especially with a big
fellow when the possibility of being licked is glaring.
This does act as a strong remedy and even any old
apology will be accepted as a sure cure for an injury;
no matter how serious the injury may be- This fits
our case exactly, at least in our opinion.
We have grasped a flimsy excuse to accept the
German reply as conforming with our demand rather
than incur the risk of being licked. It is well be
cause our skin is dearer to us tljan our shirt- Ger
many is too bog a nation to monkey with. Ireland has
found that out- We may monkey with Mexico, be
cause wc do as we dem please with that country and
let it go at that. No ointment will be accepted from
that country with which we can heal our blisters- You
see, might makes right.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT AT WORK
Public sentiment is a mighty weapon. Its power
is incalculable in the hands of the people- It will
transform everything, it will even change the desire
of republican bosses to nominate a "pet” for an of
fice; which is going some- Public sentiment has been
at work recently to force the "old boys” to nominate
Roosevelt for president at the coming campaign. The
“old boys”, have fought tho notion bitterly, but ap
parently to no avail- Roosevelt is gaining ground
every day. Among the “old boys” the broader minded
ones have already given up hope of defeating public
sentiment in that respect; and concede that Teddy is
the Only Man- Which is right.
NEED NO COMMENT.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found the order
of the district court directing the manner of holding
an election to decide as to whether the saloons should
get a license or not. The trimming of the order is all
that is fair about it. Lay it bare and you find an ap
parent desire to unlawfully harass a class of people,
you find an autocratic tendency to construe a term to
suit the purpose or intent- “The people rule.” Piffle;
not with our district court.
Tin cans, bottles and rubbish are not moving very
fast- Perhaps the sledding id poor. If so, why not
bury the nuisance and prevent the breeding of flies
“A stitch in time saves nine” in nearly every case
A FAMILY DOCTOR’S TEMPTATION.
(American Magazine-)
Some patients do not like to be told that nothing
is the matter with them, and if a practitioner is de
pendent for his income upon the whims and prejudices
of his patients it is a very serious thing with him
to risk their displeasure by telling them they have no
need of a physician.
In private practice the temptation to "hold pa
tients,” whether they really are benefited by treat
ment or not, is very great, and in private conclaves
one sometimes heals astonishing revelations of the
methods resorted to by certain practitioners for the
purpose of "holding” certain patients, that is, of
keeping them in the habit of visiting their doctor.
Druggists play into the hands of the lower type of
physician in this matter and arrange medjcines in
such form that the patiertt cannot take them with
out paying his physician a visit and a fee
There must be neither lamentation, nor quarreling,
nor sloth, nor fear, for it makes a discord in a man’s
life. He that fears serves. The joy of a wise man
stands firm without interruption; in all places, at all
times, and in all conditions, his thoughts are cheer
ful and quiet. Into what dangerous and miserable
servitude he falls who suffers pleasures and sorrows
(two unfaithful and cruel commanders) to possess him
successively!—(Seneca.)
All Alaska is to be congratulated on the ending
of.,the strike on the government railroad- It has been
ended, besides, in a manner which promises a perman
ent settlement, and each side perfectly satisfied, one
side receiving generous wages and the other free
from the fear that any other disturbance will come
to delay the work. The method adopted to bring an
end to this difficulty was the best that could possibly
be devised. It shows the difference between patching
and building anew with a solid foundation.—(Seward
Gateway.)
Next! La Foliette, tbc buster and smasher, nar
rowly escaped defeat in Wisconsin, the State in which
he had absolute control two years ago when busting
and smashing was the program of the popular dema
gogue. And now Buster B^yan is rejected in Nebraska
which, heretofore, he had held in the hollow of his
hand. This is striking evidence of the changing trend
of the times- The people are tired-of the destructive
program of busting and smashing and have determined
that the demagogue must go, no matter to which party
he belongs.—(Leslie’s Weekly.)
