KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, JANUARY 13, 1916.
NOW GIRLS ITS UP TO YOU
Of course everybody knows it but it will injure
•nobody to talk about it, and all we want to do is to ■
remind the girls that Leap Yeay is here, and that it j
is up to them to pop the question.
All throughout 1916, a girl has a perfect right to
ask Jack, Tom, Harry or even Bob to be her husband,
jfor better or for worse, whatever the case may be.
jYcu can pursue him in any way you wish for all is
fair in love and war.
It's a cinch that Bob will act cov-like and will
want to make it appear that he is in no hurry to rush
into an alLiance. But take from us girls, he is j
just as anxious—and more so perhaps than you are
to get married. As a matter of probable fact, he is j
J crazy to get you for his wife and all he is waiting for
is to see if you have “spunk” enough to ask him.
All you have to do is to say, "Bob will you be mine
just like that, and you have him and the world will
wish you both happiness everafter. That’s easy girls.
jtry it on-. Anyhow, it’s up to you this year.

WHY WORRY
It is said that worry’s effect is like that of poison.
Then why worry? Many of us are worrying over the
cold weather, the lack of water, the threat that Alas
ka will become dry like Washington and that some
will drink wood alcohol- Some of us worry over
unpreparedness, others worry over the poor mail serv
ice, cable service; some there are who worry over
their complexion and all such foolish and kinds of
worries, which if it is true that worry’s effect is like
that of poison, it follows that we must all be poison
ed, and some one will worry over that also.
Worry is said to have become a question of hygiene
rather than of religion. But whether immoral or not,
it is certainly unhea’thful. Whatever its effect upon
the soul—those who have souls—it is known to in
jure the body. In our opinion the only thing that is
worth worrying over now days is whether our water
pipes will freeze—after the water is turned in a
gain—and how wo are to get our next meal.

WHY FORD CAME HOME
(Portland Telegram)
Mrs. Inez Mu'.hall and Boissevain of New York left
the Ford peace party in high dudgeon, because she
tould not have her own way. Were Mrs. Boissevain a
student of human nature, she would know that in fair
and open dealings with any concourse of people, no
body ever has his own way. She complains that “We
have appeared to the public what we are in fact, n
confused mass of amiably intentionted persons, of
vague thinking and no collective planning.”
Henry Ford, if he had the same command of lan
guage as is unquestionably possessed by Mrs. Boisse
vain, and were as frank in expressing himself, could
give a very entertaining account of why he deserted
the party personally, though still recognizing his
financial obligations to the coterie of well-meaning
individuals whom he had gathered together. Mr. i
Ford was quick to recognize failure and chose to be
as far away as possible when the break should come.
The Ford peace party lacked the first element
of success. A collective body can accomplish little
unless each individual member is actuated by the prin
ciple of great personal compromise and sacrifice. This
is why a crisis always calls for the directing hand of
autocratic power. Grant was successful as a gen
eral in supreme command of all the nation's troops,
first, because he was competent, and second, because
he had all the power of an autocrat as the active
head of the army in the field. Democratic gatherings
at times overlook the value of able and efficient lead
ership. A peace party is often a misnomer, because
the spirit that dominates a peace gathering is gen
-ally wholly and divergently militant.

THF, BUSINESS OF SCHOOLS
It is not the business of schools and colleges to
fit young people to earn a livng. They teach us to
read that we may know what the world is thinking,
feeling and doing, that we may enlarge our buget of
“information." correct and refine our ideas. They j
teach us to write that we may pass on our thoughts,
feelings and ideas; mathematics, that we may under
stand the terms in which the world measures, weighs,
computes and handles all the exact sciences. It is
to enable us to live with our fellows on more under
standing terms that we go to school; that all of this
contributes to the problem of earning our own living,
is of course, true: but that is not its object,—Ida M.
Tarbell.

MUSIC AS A MEDICINE
(From the Musical American'
Music’s potency as a therapeutic agent is being
demonstrated again ju«i now in the hospitals in
England. The physicians have recorded remarkable
results from the effect of music on soldiers who have
suffered from gun fire and bombarding and have re
turned from the fighting line mere nervous wrecks.
Some specialists have gone so far as to say that
no other cure has brought about such good results.
