KETCIUKA-V, ALASKA, APRIL 26. 1916.
THEY WERE THE WHOLE CHEESE.
An estimable, likewise a brave democrat whose
generosity is exceeded only by his good nature, gave
the Progressive-Miner the report that appeared in our
issue of last Monday in reference to the democratic
primary election held last Saturday and reported as
“largely attended"
To be candid to our readers, we felt a little
skeptical about the large attendance and concluded to
investigate and found that the attendance was made
up of three men who were candidates for election to
the democratic convention to be held at Jur.eau later
and acted as judges and clerks of said election, elect
ed themselves delegates, certified to their election; and
as four delegates were required, they borrowed the
name of an outsider—probably a Progressive-Republi
can—and performed the same ceremony over the un
fortunate. and called it a “democratic primary election"
just to “comply with the law” said the estimable demo
cratic reporter: and he concluded. ‘The three of us
were thp whole cheese.”
Of course the whole business was a farce- but we
cannot blame the rest of the democrats in Ketchikan—
if there are any—because it takes a brave man these
days to assert his affiliation with the democratic party.
That party is on a dow-nhill puli and going too fast
for anybody to see but a few stragglers who are too
slow to raise the dust with whieh to cover themselves
This is a funny world with the democrats making up
the funniest part
STICK TO YOUR GUN.
It has never been explained- but it is a fact
nevertheless that sometimes there come days when
everything seems to go wrong- Everything seems up
side down, dragging an anchor or something and we
cannot accomplish anything- The hours slip by that
count oniy as so much of our life wasted. Such days
come to everybody, and it is then that we feel dis
couraged as we face disappointment—the hardest
inemy tnat one can meet- Disappointment is a hard
opponent to battle with, yet we know that it can be
conquered ana that all we have to do is to keep on
fighting. When those dark days come if we grab
our courage, stick to our gun. hoist the sail of con

fidence and thus equipped, v.v shall never fail to
through disappointment and reach success. After dll.
in an undertakir success depends largely upon our
mental attitude: oar com mence in ourselves. Uncertain,
ty as to our ability to perform a task is lack of con
fidence in ourselves, and lacko feenfidenee means fail

THE COUNTRY HOY S CREED

I beiieve that the country which God nude is
more beautiful than the city which man made- The
life out of doors and in touch with the earth is
the natural life of man- > believe that work is work
wherever I find :t- b« that work -with nature is
more inspiring than work ■- ifh the most intricate
machinery. I believe that the dignity of labor do- .

that opportunity comes -to a boy on the farm as
often as to a boy - the city, that life Is larger and
freer and happier on the farm than in the town,
that my success pends no- upon my location, hut
upon myself—not upon my dreams, but upon whc.
I actually do; net upon luck, bub upon pluck- I be
lieve in working when you work, and in playing
when you play, and in giving and demanding a square
deal in every act of life.—(E. O. Grover )
