KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, DECEMBER 2, 1915
LF WE COULD ONLY REMEMBER
If we could only remeber that other people have
a perfect right to their opinion, ideas of freedom and
liberty and right to exist, as we have ourself, what >i
difference it would make for harmony in this world.
The trouble is we are too darn selfish. We may
not admit it, or even know it, but it is the truth
nevertheless. We always figure that the other
is wrong or we always manage to convince ourselves
that we are correct in our views, no matter what
may happen.
The Kaiser is reported to have asserted the other
day that “Germany was forced into this war in self
defense.” The other warring nations say, “Germany
started it and we have to defend ourselves.” Hert
we find an irreconciliable difference of opinion. We
say “irreconciliable” since to prove the respective
correctness of their opinion, they are killing one an
other. What more could they do? Now, is not this
evidence of selfishness? In every human endeavor
we find the same determination to always be right,
and the other is of course always wrong. And so,
the world goes on tramping down some one’s right
that some one’s wrong may prevail. If we could
only remember that we may be wrong sometimes
also—but that would be contrary to our selfish
nature
-+ ♦ ♦
A HORRIBLE MIXTURE
Of course, we all know that this world is made
up of all kinds of men and women; made up of all
kinds of characters, tendencies and ambition. Some
there are who prefer this, that and other things as a
vocation. Never reflecting one moment in an endeav |
or to find out their true calling; the real vocation j
that would suit them best, and would suit other people I
best. For one may be suited for a certain line of j
activity, yet not suitable to those upon whom one
will have to depend for a living. The point is this;
Supposing a man would like banking for instance;
that man may study the business and make himself
familiar in all its branches, become proficient In all
its intricacies and all that, yet that same man may
inherit such manners that may be repulsive to the
general public, consequently will drive away cHcn'
from the bank, instead of bringing them to it. /
a .matter of fact, some are bankers who should h j
potato diggers just the same as some cd!'<"e j
should be wood choppers, or grave diggers who shoul 1 i
be in the grave instead of out of it.
To remedy this, future generations should b''
taught from childhood by actual training what would
meet each individual requirement, thereby avoid
making bankes from potato diggers, editors from
woodchoppers, etc. Such training should be from
childhood, because when some of us become old enough
to know better, we don’t know anything and only
have a feeling of being top-heavy, that’s all.

It is true that the millionaire cannot eat any
more than the poorest day-laborer without injuring
himself and without paying the penalty in suffering:
but it is also true that the millionaire can always
purchase what he wants to eat while the day-loborr>
can only purchase what he can afford and sufficient
to sustain life. And there is a vast difference be
tween being able to sustain life and satisfy one’s ap
petite.

It’s quite a long time since we saw the sun, and
we wonder where nature has sent it to. Can it b^
that it is hunting for an honest man? It it is, why.
there is no telling when it will return, if it ever re
turns.

It is gratifying to know that Senator Sluser, who
is now visiting in town has promised to take up
political matters in Alaska. The people will be in
terested in whatever the Senator will have to say ir.
that respect.

A ROYAL BAWL OUT
Ferdinand of Orleans, Duke of Montpensier, to
Ferdinand of Bulgaria: * * * Your saintly mother
my aunt Clementine, daughter of a king of France,
and herself a faithful French woman; your uncles,
those noble, unsullied soldiers, Orleans, Aumale, Ne
mours and Chartres, if they hear the earth's uproar,
must rise in their graves to hurl their curses in your
face.
And I, who so often sent you my affectionate mv!
loving wishes, especially on your name day, which is
mine, also—I, who saw in you a son of France doing
honor to his house, disown you' now. I know you
no more; I abandon you to your apostasies, your
remorse, your Turks and your Boches!

CALLS BALDNESS A CRIME
From Cincinnati Inquirer
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, world’s champion pure food
expert, had started to lecture on the preservation
of teeth at Emery Auditorium, but toward the end
of his argument spoke on the subject of baldness.
The audience tittered. Doctor Wilev placed his
hand on his cranium. “Oh, I know I’m baldheaded,”
he said, “but it isn’t my fault. Nobody told me
when I was young how to keep from losing my hair.
Bladness is a crime of ignorance, a crime of fashion.
Our hair is starved to death.
Women do not wear hands around their fore
heads like men wear hats, although if the bands were
in fashion the women would wear them. The hat
band keeps the blood from nourishing the hair.”
Watch Your Children
Often children do not let parents know
they are constipated. They fear some
thing distasteful. They wifi like Rexall
Orderlies—a mild laxative that tastes
like sugar. Sold only by us.
