KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, NOVEMBER 1, 1915.
HARDLY ANY HOPE LEFT
The loss of deputy fish commissioner Irwin, and
his aids, Sandy Clark and the other man, reported in
last week’s issue has cast a gloom over the community.
Not only because those men had the confidence of
whoever came in contact with them, but because of
the menner they met their fate. Leaving no trace
whatsoever. As though they had sunk to the bottom
of the ocean, when, and as a matter of fact, that was
impossible, as their boat was found anchored in a
shallow part of a bay.
Some have advanced the theory that the men met
with foul play. They base this theory on the fact
that they were after law breakers and in an endeavor
to make an arrest—the presumption is—they were
overpowered and disposed of. Of course this is only
a mere supposition, nevertheless, the circumstances
leading up to the finding of the anchored boat, to
gether with other indications, leave a cloud on the
mind to account for their mysterious disappearance;
hence the great interest displayed by every citizen to
clear up the mystery. And thus far, it Is gratifying
to state that no efforts have been too great to under
take by the good people of the community to tmravel
the mystery, and with hardly any hope left, some are
still working on the case, and indication of real sorrow.

TOO DEEP FOR US
Last week we published an account of a blind man
who had been made to see, which was reported in the
Portland Oregonian, a newspaper of high standing.
The account said that the man had been blind for
thirteen years, or more; yet one day not long ago, as
he proceded on his way through the streets of Pen
dleton, Oregon, he, of a sudden recovered his sight.
A casual reader will not take notice of such a report,
unless a chain of circumstances draws his attention to
it. It may be a similiar instance that came under
his observation or it may be something else, but wtih
us it is the fact that he attributed his recovery to

his persistent faith in the power of his mind to be
!:eve that his blindness was an unnatural state. In
other words, in the belief of prayers. For years he
said he had kept his mind in an attitude of prayer, and
he was finally rewarded.
The great majority of us do not believe in prayers
do not believe in Christain Science, or Unity teaching,
or whatever it is called. At least have had no faith
in it. But what can we say when such a cure is ob
tained. When, for instance, an epileptic sufferer for
years is cured in one week by the persistent belief
in such teaching. Or, when a person is practically an
invalid for seventeen years and had tried nearly every
thing without any permanent relief, and is cured en
tirely through the Unity taching. What can the un
belivers say? Surely, they must admit that there is
something in the teaching that is too deep for the
average mind. But is seems as though it should give
food for thought. And it does. We wonder if the
present cruel war could not be stopped by the univer
sal concentration of the non-combatants’ mind to that
end.

A VITAL DUTY
(From the Minneapolis Journal.)
The home is the most precious, as it is the funda
mental and most vital institution in the life of a na
tion. If that thought is commendable, is it not also
reasonable to think that the biggest, bravest and
brightest career possible to woman and men, is the
founding, beautifying and upbuilding of the home?
Ambition for active citizenship, the yearning for
mental expansion, the novelty and allurement of play
ing “the man’s game,” the craving to get into busin
ess and the professions, even the sometimes unwomanly
yearning for notoriety—all of these tendencies of
the mdoern woman may have their reasons, their ex
planations and their excuses.
But the destiny of this nation is enevitably in the
line of its homes, its families, its domestic life. The
coming generation must sit at the feet of the mothers
'of men, and the home must be the nursery and the
school, the shrine and the sanctuary of the race.
As there can be no real home without a woman, it
; would seem that feminine ambition, pride, -individual
| ity, assertiveness and patriotism would resurge to
' ward the home as the most natural, the most endur
; ing and the most glorious focus of activity. Lawmak
: ing itself is not so near the welfare of a people as
j homemaking.
Men cannot make homes. That is for women to
do. And it seems worth while.

“IT ISN'T THE TOWN, ITS YOU”
(From the Chicago Blade)
If you want to live in the kind of a town
Like the kind of a town you like
You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You’ll only find what you left behind,
For there’s nothing that’s really new.
It’s a knock at yourself when you knock your
own town.
It isn’t the town—it’s you.
