KETCHIKAN. ALASKA. JANUARY 7, 1916.
TALKING THROUGH HIS HAT
‘•Talking through his hat" may be a coarse ex
pression and all that but since the phrase was used
by the nation's chiet, we may be permitted to use it
also, as it conveys our idea better than any other
expression we could use.
Judge Bunnell who was on his way to \ aldez the
other day, .s quoted by the Empire as having said
|hat the “President will win in a walk” at tne next
election. That i# just where Judgo Bunnell talks
through his hat. In the first place indications are
far from being assurring of that; and in the second
place Bunnell is no prophet- That much we all
know. To prove that he is no prophet we only have
to go back less than two years when he was quite
free with his prophecies, yet he proved himself a dis
mal failure in so far as winning the deiegateship
yvas concerned. He fooled a few voters at that time
but he cannot fool anybody now.
Judge Bunnell is a “nice little fellow,” in a parlor
—4may be, but to give him credit for knowing better
than those who study the signs of the time, is fool
ish. The signs that indicate that Wilson will be
re-elected to the presidency are far from being clear,
and when Bunnell says that Wilson “will win in a
walk,” he is talking through his hat.

THINK IT OVER
That the voters have time to think it over and
see if it suited their fancy, a few days ago we pub
lished the territorial law in reference to municipal
election of officers. That law is of import to us all
and should be carefully scrutinized and if found t o
be an improvement over the old law, let us take ad
vantage of it. A petition with at least fifty signa
tures must be presented to the council beforehand,
and this should be attended to as the time will soon
be here for action.
This law might prove to be all that was claimed
for at the time it was passed, but a thorough analysis
of every point should be made. There is no doubt
T)ut that it has its good and bad points; hence the
necessity for its close scrutiny and find out whether
we can improve our condition or not by its adoption.
THE CHILD'S MENTAL ALTH
Ri.'cs fir purer.is to follow in safeguarding *ife
of ther children were adopted at the recent meeting
of the Massachusetts Society for Mental Hygien".
Here are the recommendations:
Give \ out child opportunity for variety of whole
some activities and interets.
Train your child to work hard in some regular
occupation suited to his ability and talents, but to
avoid fatigue by alternation of work and rest.
Train your child to give attention to the present
situation.
Train your child to strict obedience in a few im
portant matters and let him alone to the unimportant
things.
Avoid conditions that tend to produce overstrain.
Protect your child from shocks. Do not frighten
him yourself or let other people do so.
Give your child a variety of well cooked, whole
some food in ample quantity at regular intervals.
Train your child to avoid drugs and stimulants cf
all kinds.
Train your child to healthful habits of sleep in
fresh air, giving opportunity for at least nine hours,
and for more than that before the age of twelve.
If your child becomes worried and sleepless, or has
muscular twitchings or the like, consult a competent
physician a; once.
Take advice of a competent person concerning the
peculiar, sensitive or nervous child, in oraer to cor
rect a possible bad inheritance by proper education
and environment.
The best method of training is by example.

THE YOUNGER GENERATION
(From the Atlantic Monthly)
Our young people in their habits and tastes cher
ish and crave and admire health with a devotion ud
parralleled since the days of the Greeks. The cal!
of the fields and of the wild, the inoculation of early
childhood with the fever of athletics, and the er.or
j mous distinction obtained by strength, agility and
pluck—even the unprecedented candor of literature
and conversation concerning sex, parenthood, eugen
ic ics and femininism—all these signs of the time,
though they may involve new risks, unquestionably
free young people in large degree from introspection,
, sentimentalism, morbid conscientiousness, prudishneSs
and prurience, which have afflicted earlier genera
tions. Fearlessness, self-confidence, even audacity
isue from this healthiness. Nothing is too personal
to be mentioned; nothing too startling to be welcom
ed; nothing too sacred to be criticized. The most
repelling of traits is sickness, either of body or of
mind. Strong doctrine, naked truth, undisguised
convictions, are marks of the cult of healthiness, and
the resultant type of youth is one which cannot be
observed without admiration.—Francis Greenwood
Peabody.

The difference between a doctor of medicine: and
a doctor of divinity is. that one gives anaesthetics
and the other gives lectures, which amounts to the
same thing—Did we say difference ?
