KETCHIKAN. ALASKA, APRIL 17. 1916.
BOTH ARE FOOLISH.
The pe-.'r'.e of Jmseass have been talking of “parks
now for some litt..e time. As a matter of fact, if we
arc a it mistakes, they have arrived at a dec'saon and
will have case park at least- They rccegrised the
necessity and wstl act arcordingly
Tfce revp'e of Ketchikan think they arc foolish
because : * the r okuiate. with the rain cozasng down
eic'jtz days on! erf every week and the Taka wind iso
zzx through the city at a brcak-aeck speed tearing
.•'.--vs reefs, chimneys. signs and every blessed thing
m its read. Talk about parks for such a city makes
_5 W; think them simply foolish: and we are
r.gfct in a way. but in other ways we arc wrong.
Thee want to keep up appearances. This alone is
eonusserdubie- With as we arc wrong because with
our dimate—Idruisa Belt—and a beatstifa! s'-te for a
park, we arc still without one. Consequently, the peo- i
pie of Juneau arc foolish to try to pat « style when
nature—the climate—prohibits it while we of Ketehi- j
-j. favored in ercry way. we persist in denying
curseiv-is a park; something that every community ’
considers inestimable. By all means, let some one
take tie feast in this enterprise and we shall soon:
have a park where- the boys and girls can meet in
frierdlv contests t. le we c-m fogies sha.. ,ock ©b
and revive pleasant memories of former days. It ^
may help some of us.
THERE ARE OTHERS.
Tie report of Prof. Miestaest that there were
c-rlv -wo sehc-i s in Alaska whose sndeats could be
admitted t© the University of Washington without
the usual preliminary esamiaatksa, will net prevent,
tie students :-f stfeer «ixls from entering another
University. The Univarsity of Washington is net the
only “pebble ia the bach’ Moreover, it is no great
h-m-cr to be iimitted to an rbirnitMTlnl Lnsiituiiojt
withe ut -r i- nation. the honor lies in passing the
exastizstiws. The University of Washington may be
all that : — -=d fur it, bat there- arc others jast as
sz.yi. Trc :f that lies in the fact that mazy
students of that University arc bow in Alaska, a zd
so far as v; knew, save accomplished no wonders.
Another consolation for the Ketchikan students is
that when our present school teachers say to a studen
that he is ready for the University, that student need
not worry about his ability to pass the necessary ex
amination. whatever Prof. Miesuiest may think to
the contrary notwithstanding. He can proceed to the
University over the barrier erected by the judgment
of one single individual, by passing his examination.
THE POWER OF SUGGESTION.
(From the Weekly Unity.)
There is a subtle power its suggestion to which
everyone is more or less susceptible. Children are
peculiarly receptive to the suggestions of those with
whom they are associated, and parents and teachers
would do weil to acquaint themselves with the law of
suggestion and employ i* in its constructive action up
on the child's mind. The constant suggestion of ahii
ity, of loring-kii iness. of truthfulness and honesty,
with Sot even the faintest suggestion of the opposites
of those Qualities, will inspire every child with the
desire to meet these expectations which are held for
him.
Many a person is encouraged to take a new hold
co life through a suggestion of his power to succeed
which seme good friend gave hint. We all should rec
ognise and appreciate fine seal Qualities although they
may appear in the garb of a tramp, or In one behind
the burs in one of our penal institutions. Many a
person has been redeemed through the suggestion of
his ability to control and direct his life and to merit
the honor conferred upon the man who is a power
for good in his community. We cannot help being in
daesced by our comrades' opinions of us. hence every
thooght as welj as word should be a suggestion for
righteousness (rightness! which will fail into receptive
Marts and bring forth according to its kind.
Our suggestions to ourselves should always be of
lofty character. W* should see ourselves as efficient,
trustworthy, successful, and able jo meet the exigencies
of life and rise superior to them aii
Tfee astonishing statement is made that the new
secretary of war smokes a corncob pipe and is net »
demagogue. We .ire ready to swallow either assertion'
but bos both.—(Florida Times-Union.
ANGER CUTS LIFE SHORT.
< Kansas City Star.!
“Unless you are tired of life, learn to control your
temper.” advises a prominent physician. "Have you
ever gives a thought as to why so many men die be
tween the ages of 50 and 55?
“You haven't? Well, do you want to live oat
your cm allotted span of three score and ten? You
do? Then avoid, as very plagues, three things—grief
worry aad anger. The latter particularly, and for this
reason:
“Time cures grief, and wisdom cures worry—you
get wise as to th? utter futility of it—but there's no
time -'lire for anger, and it's only the wisest of men.
and very few there are of than, who are wise enough
to make a point of never getting angry.
“Anger, or raze, uses up the vital forces at an
appalling rate. That exhausted feeling which comes
over you after you have been thoroughly angry should
tell you that you have draws on the day's supply of
vitality.”
