KETCHIKAN. ALASKA. OCTOBER i. 1915.
THE O-VLY REMEDY
la mr. mealing upon the active of the fisher see a of
Seattle last evening, ia reference tv shipping fish from
Alaska to Seattle instead of Prince Rupert, a fisherman
said that in his opinion the remedy lies exclusively with
the transports tic-a companies. Continuing he said;
"The ail-American shipping route to market Is so much
more expensive that we were forced to seek relief
through Canadian ports. la the mailer of “raw deals '
given the fishermen by the Seattle fishbrokers, he said;
•■While we cannot say that we shall be free from Can
adian raw deals yet. if we can eliminate the exhot-ritant
transportation charges, w* are that much to the go:.-."
This y-«-i is right. The fishermen's remedy lies
with the transyortatioB companies. Let the companies
compel—for they can—the fishbrokers to give the fish
ermen a square deal, and let them reduce their trarsj. r
tatioa charges, it is safe to say that sot one fisherman
will wish to change skipping port. But let them Ignore
the fisherman's rights, and the companies will be the
losers: at the same time impose hardship opera every
.Alaska shipping port.
It is oar belief that the companies caa carry ail
the fish from Alaska to Seattle free of* charge, be
cause by doing s-> their tcun&ge for the coni would in
crease Tn proper!u,u and what they would i*se tc carry
ing tie fish fret. Alaska to Seattle free, they would m.-.ie
by carry ice mere ex' 5 from Seattle to Alaska. As it
is now—and it is going to be worse—the comp-anie-s car
ry very little fish .at and bring in very little goods.
The traffic goes through Prince Baper; anl net K-cul
merchants, who are perfectly innocent of any exhorbitant
transportation charges or “raw deals''' suffer in : r.se
quence with all the rest c-f us. Obviously, the fisherman
holds the whip ham*. an! is making use of it. But turn
about seems fjdr.

BY AT.T. MEANS ORGANIZE
la tfeis w? pabliab a A:;er fr.is Mr?. 7a;?
V. Coanor, of D-.'sgias, a leader 12 tae f^a'eiEftased
Bomwetl to ,vr^niw what they call a “Territorial Fed- t
eration of Women’s Clots." To any the least. She
idea i* commend* We- Our women should take part in
everything in whieh men have an interest, educational
as well as political, and men should help them In every
respect, particularly wish their experience. The back
wardness of women to organise clubs lies in their ig
norance of what is known as Parliamentary Rules to eon
duct meetings without appealing ridiculous. As though
there was necessity for ules to govern a body of men or
women in the discussion of m atters in whieh we are all
interest O'!. Ail that which is necessary is to meet, ex
press one’s opinion—one at a time and no* altogether—
and wait conceals whieh will lead to a eereluilor. ami
the thing is done. Rules, regulations and formalities
may be agreed upon, but need not stand in Use way of
organisation.
There is no doubt that the country would greatly
beaefit by the organisation of such a club. For that
reason, the Progressive-Mirer will ever stand ready to
help the women felks along that line of endeavor, csiee ,
iallv if they are willing to take a hand in cleaning the
political atmosphere.

THE .VXSWER THE MIKISTER RECEIVED
, From the Seward Gateway)
A clergyman wrote to blitarod from Seward >>»*«
time ago issiing if that camp needs a minister of Use
gospel and our esteemed contemporary, the ldri*r« l
Pioneer, receive! the suggestion in what must be calk'd
an extrernelv irreligious manner. Quoth the Pioneer:
•■We may as well be entirely frank with our eor
respendent and inform him at the outset that it is our
tiras be.ief that there is so pressing demand for the
services of a minister :a hatsr.-i Not that we are an
irreligious people—far from it. Nor need the reveren t
gentleman be unnecessarily eeceerned about the * de
plorable fact ’ that we are deprived of religious services.
The people of the Iditarod section are of such a cosmo
politan make-up that it is extremely doubtful if there
could be found enough adherents of any one religion to
form a congregation. The population is rather widely
scattered, and travel between the different sections is
extremely difficult at certain seasons of the year.
Is is probable that the only kind of minister who
we-uli be at all popular in this section would be sn ex
ponent cf • muscular • _ns: unity.” Such a person, de
. .........g a
No. 2. and his leisure hours to spiritual ministrations a
! aeng his co-workers, would find a splendid field.”
i Fie on you, Pioneer. Thine own very words eon
! dents thee and scow dearly thy pressing need of some
j one to say a few prayers over thee. Woe be unto thee.

WHAT CAN' MAKE UNIVERSAL PEACE
Hike the individual ge-si and the nation will ie
good. This :s possible only by devising means whereby
the possi.-s of men can be kept under control and re
place selfishness by altruism, hatred by love, and urnae
justice govern the hearts of men. To accomplish tis*->
each Las a duty to perform, and that is to test’s one aa
ctker true brotherly love.
