KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, DECEMBER 15. 1915
ARE WE DOING SOMETHING?
Are we doing something toward preparing a
Christmas Tree for the little ones of the town this
year? It seems to us that we should not forget
how happy they were when the Arctic Brothers
gave them a year ago what their little hearts craved
for. However if we have forgotten, they have not,
and naturally they wiil expect the same experience
this year. A pleasing experience is so attractive.
Only ten days remain till that time. Cannot s<uuc
good association—there are many in Ketchikan
take the task this year without trying to overdo
the work of previous years and provide some form
^ of entertainment and again gladden their little
hearts. We wonder.
Along this line of thought we may suggest tha'
a little inquiry into the need of some might lead tc
brighten some one’s life. While their seem to be
none reaily needy in our community, yet a little
generosity about Christmas time often helps to for
get dark days. And really what we give we’ll
never miss, because whenever the cost comes back
to our mind it will be accompanied by its reward,
and that is the good it has done.

A FUNNY STUNT
According to Attorney Krauczunas, who is here
now, and who represen, ted Ed. Krause in the court
at Juneau, the officials pulled a nice little stunt
when Krause was sentenced to one year for imper
sonating an officer. Without the formality of
reading the charge to the prisoner, without demand
ing that a plea of guilty or not guilty be made
or given a chance to summon witnesses or anythin;,
else, and over the attorney’s objections, the defen
dant was given a year.
When a prisoner is brought before a commis
sioner, the first thing that the latter must do is
to read the charge against him, and enter the plea
of guilty or not guilty. The court then sets the
time of the trial and give both the prosecutor and
defendant time to pet their witnesses, if any. Un
less these rules are followed, there can be no justice
But according to the report, the Juneau commission
er is above following the rules of justice—or i.
may be he had forgotten them. Be it as it may
Attorney Kaxis Kraucxunas' objections to the pro j
ceedings were brushed aside and the prisoner was
given a year, which he may or may not have deserv
ed, but the action of the court was queer to say
the least

THE HURRY-SCURRY WORLD .j
If you saw a bunch of pilgrims, walking as if
for a wager, each with his teeth set; and if jou
happened to ask them one after th other: thither
they were going? and from each you were to receive
the same answer: that postively they were all in such
a hurry they had never found leisure to inquire into
the nature of their errand—confess, my dear sir, you
would be startled at the indifference they exhibited.
Am I going too far, if I say that this is the con
dition of the large majority of our fellow-men and
almost all of our fellow-women?—Robert Louis
Stevenson. -

THE TENDENCY
In human life, therefore, the tendency must al
ways be the main thing. What is the direction 'of
a man's facultis, his aims? If you know the an
gles of convergence of the sides of the pyramid
the point at which they meet may be tomputed. If
the tendencies of life are in the directions of an
idea! the apex may be equally recognized, though
it may not be reached. In our youth our actual
and our^ ideal seem to be not only distinct but hos
tile to each other. But the main lesson of our
life is to learn that they are really friends.—Moncure
D. Conway.

TIME HONORED ADVICE
If a man whose integrity you do not very well
know makes you great and extraordinary profes
sions, do not give much credit to him. Probbably
you will find that he aims at something besides
kindness to you and that when he has served his
turn, or been disappointed, his regard for you will
I cool.
Beware also of him who flatters you and com
mends you to your face, or one who, he thinks,
will tell you of it; most probably he has either de
ceived and abused you, or means to do so. Remember
the fable of the fox commending the singing of the
crow, who had something in her mouth which the
fox wanted.
Be careful that you do not commend yourselves.
1-. is a sign that your reputation is small and sink
ing, if your own tongue must praise you.—Sir Mat
thew Hale.
