KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, SATURDAY, OCT. 16, 1915.
LET US DO SOMETHING
Let us do something for our town Let us take
up the question of a federal building. Let us take
up the fishing industry, a question that is all impor
tant to us. Let us take up Dr. Lester Jones’ report
that is about to be brought before Congress for action.
Let us take up the question of divorcing the First Div
ision from the others. Let us take up the question of
enlarging our territorial legislative power. Yes, let
us take up 'all these questions and many more that
affect us all.
Delegate Wickersham is coming soon. Likewise
Congress wil* soon meet and if we have the best inter
est of our part of the country at heart, it is about
time that we should wake up and take these matters
up, discuss them and see what is best to do. But,
some one will say; whose duty is it to attend to that ?
The Commercial Club of course, although not exclusive
ly, but for anything in which the public at large is in
terested, a commercial body of citizens should handle
such maters. Ketchikan has many and many energet
ic business men who should take the lead and bring
together as many as possible and prepare recommenda
tions in reference to this, that and other things; and
when the Delegate comes, consult with him. Who
knows but what we would obtain results. Let us try.
A wise old Quaker once remarked: ‘‘Dost thee know
why it is so many people make so many mistakes!
It is because there are so many wrong ways of doing
a thing, but only one right way.”
There is one right way to create a healthy, proper
public sentiment, and that is through united effort
and co-operation in the Commercial Club.

HOW THEY COULD HELP THE PARTY
It has been said that a confession was good for the
sou!. We!!, here is one that we hope will do us good.!
We frankly confess that at no time in our whole life ;
had we ever thought for one moment that one or
two, or ever, three Democrats combined could ever he
able to help the standing of the Democratic party; but:
that it would take at least a small army of them to do
that , However, that was all a mistaken idea, and we
are convinced now that if two or three office holders
of this division—Democrats of course—would resign
their offices, they would help the party in more ways
than one. Of that we are positive. On the contrary,
if they persist in holding on, many Democrats who are
disgusted with their demeanor will forever quit the
party, thus bringing down the party to that extent, at
the same lime showing that it does not take an army
oi Democrats to help the party.
It’s a wonder to us that some Democrats cannot
take a tumble by themselves and only tumble when the
1 people take a hand.

LET’S BOOST
(Fairbanks Citizen)
Let’s ail get in and boost for a new federal building
1 for Fairbanks. It has been a possibility for a long
! time now, owing to the efforts of delegate WicKersiiam,
but it has never been an actual probability until tne
. present time The delegate himself states that uie
prospects xor a new building were never brighter
than they are now and he is contemplating trying to
get an appropriation of 5250,000 for it at the next
session of Congress.

FOR THE OBSTINATE ONE
After a certain jury had been out an inordinately
' long time on a very simple case, they filed into the
conrtroom, and the foreman told the judge they were
unable to agree upon a verdict. The latter rebuked
them, saying the case was a very clear one, and re
manded them to the jury room for a second attempt,
adding;
“If you are there much longer, I shall have to send
1 you in twelve suppers.”
The foreman, in a rather irritated tone, spoke up,
and said: “May it please your honor, you might send
in eleven suppers and one bundle of hay.”

EXPERIENCE
Experience is never limited, and it is never com
plete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge
spider wed of the finest silken threads suspended in
in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every
: airbone particle in its tissue. It is the very atmosphere
j of the mind; and when the mind isimaginative—much
! more when it happens to be that of a man of genius—
• it takes to itself the firest hints of life, it converts .
very pulse of the air into revelations.—Henry
