Alaska in particular and the Territory in general.
KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, DECEMBER 13, 1915.
A THREAT NEVER HURTS
Ever since we invaded the bachelors’ privilege
last Friday with a little comment on their selfish
ness, we have been complimented by the girls—that
is not complimented in words but with snules, which
amounts to the same thing—and we have been hunt
ed, menaced, called names and thratened. Yes,
threatened. Isn’t that the limit? One bachelor in
particular said to a man in the office that he would
get “his editor.” Just like that. Now, as a matter
of fact, we have never paid any attention to threats,
because threats never hurt, but if that man ever shoot
us dead, we’ll have him pinched, that’s all. “Pinched”
would mean a conviction because we have all the
girls on our side.
YY'e believe that girls are tickled almost to death
that we assailed the bachelors. Girls hate bachel
ors. Of course girls are naturally too nice to how
their hatred, but they hate them just the same, or
should, especially bachelors with high positions. Y\ e
can’t blame them either because we hate them also,
although we are notmarriageable.
YVe are told that there is a movement on foot
started by the girls all over Alaska to organize a
club with the declaration of war against the bachel
ors as the object in view. If the girls stick to
gether, they’ll have some fun. They’ll see some meek
old bachelors go down on their knees and beg for
another chance while the most stubborn will take to
the tall timber where they ought to be. the mean
things.

WHAT ABOUT THAT REYVARD?
YVhat about that reward Marshal Bishop: isn’t it
about time that it should be paid ? If Mr. Carlson
does not get that reward it can be truthfully said
that the reward was intended for deputies only. In
that case the notice should have so specified, and in
the absence of such specification, the first person
who gave the information that lead to Krause’s ar
rest is clearly entitled to that reward. YVithout
authority, no man would have attempted to arrest
Krause. From that we can reasonably infer that the
reward was intended for officials only. But as Car
.Ison had nothing to do with either the offering of
the reward nor tho printing of the notice of the
offer, how was he to know that it was for officials
only?
If Marsha! Cislop had in mind when he sent
the notices of the 'offer of reward that only the man
who 'made the arrest would get the reward, he used
the mail fraudulently as he failed to mention that if
a woman knew Krause’s whereabouts, she would not
be entitled to anything unless she made the arrest
herself. Conclusively, that reward must have been
intended for officials only.

WHAT THE DEAD MEAN
From the Knickerbocker Press)
We read in the cable dispatches of the thousands
and thousands who are slain upon the European bat
tlefields. We read without a tear, without a quiver
of an eyelash. We have become so hardened to
death in war that we scarcely realize what it means.
Every one of the hundreds of thousands of dead
men upon Europe’s battlefields means a hope for
somebody, a hold on the future cut off. Every one
of these dead means the crippling of numbers of the
living, the reduction of the potentiality of livintr
members of society. WTien the son is killed the par
ent is cut both at the blossom and the root at once.
They, too, die, those others, in reality. Thus the
loss is multiplied many fold, the economic loss, the
spiritual loss. Like the ripples of unseen air waves
the destruction of death is carried far afield, crip
i pling untold ifbmbers, reducing the potentiality of all
life. Under the gray sky over those battlefields
there must hover many ghosts above the silent dead.
For no matter how loud the guns and all the din of
; modern battles, a ghastly pitiful silence rests on the
faces of the dead. Then lie there like lumps or
earth, crumpled up. or stretched out at length, life
snuffed out wantonly in the game that is played fai
away at the headquarters or in the chancelleries of
state.

BRIEF DECISIONS
(Judge
Many a man who prides himself on his physical
strength cannot even hold his tongue.
Armed with a tongue and a broomstick, the aver
age woman can defeat a regiment of men.
A girl feels that she has fulfilled her mission in
life when she attempts to rear a goldfish.
The rule is that the more worthless the husband
the more faithful the. wife.
We can say this much: None of our. clothes
button up the back.
A pessimist will borrow trouble from himself if
he can’t do any better.
The man who is afraid of his wife never has any
time to love her.
If you would lead, keep out of the way of those
who would follow.
-+ + +- -
We should remember that happiness In life is
made up of small duties, little kindnesses, courtesies,
pleasant words, genial smiles, good wishes and good
deeds. Yet all this need not cost a red penny.
There Is No Question
but that indigestion and the distressed
feeling which always goes with it can
be promptly relieved by taking a
