KETCHIKAN. ALASKA. JUNE 7. 1916
, LET US BE GOOD
Our trouble is over; that is some part of our
trouble. Not all, but some of it. The made
to-order election is over and the question wheth
er the saloons can do business another year is
settled. The majority spoke which means a
conclusion. Now, why not forget, forgive and
go about our respective affair without any fur
ther wrangling. This life is too short to be for
ever quarreling. Factions should not be toler
ated. Everybody should remember that we
are human, and we have our shortcomings, our
failings and instead of trying to force reforms
on others, we should educate those whom we
wish to reform to follow our examples by peace-!
ful means and not by agitation, misrepresenta
tion or exaggeration, spite or underhand work.
Let us be frank with one another; at the same
time let us be broad enough to concede personal
liberty. This is our undisputed right—or:
should be.
It seems that if a person is disatisfiied with
his environment, condition or position he should
endeavor to improve them by every legal pos- j
sible means, always, however, mindful of others' |
right. In the next world we may have to suf-1
fer the company of otners because there won’t!
be any getting away, but in this world it is dif
ferent and those who cannot endure shortcom
ings of others can seek other environment, but j
so long as we are here, let us not wrangle. In
stead, let us teach harmony, and together we:
can make of Ketchikan, a prosperous city popu- j
lated with contented people which should oe the j
aim of us all.
SOMETHING TO COGITATE OVER
I
In speaking of the “high cost of living” the
other day, one of the businessmen said: “There
has been an average increase of twenty-five per
cent in the price of raw materials used in baking
in the last two years; and your bread and cakes
cost no more today at the bakery than it did
then. Can you say as much about the goods
baked in your home? Think it over.” and the
busniessman left.
From the above we confess our inability to
account for the raise of other necessaries of life,
If the bakers can get a fair return for their in
vestment today, and get no more for their pro
duct than they did a few years ago, why other
necessaries have soared up so l Off hand, we
may consider 1he question thus: The bakers
who paid much less for their raw materials a
few years ago must either have been making an
enormous profit or the vendors of other r.eces
' saries today must be taking their turn at the
grafting counter. And we don’t blame them
either; blit we should like to know when the
| consumers’ turn shall come.
CHANGE IN NAME OF PAPER
Beginning today (May 24) this news
paper will hereafter be issued as the An
chorage Daily Times, but for the present
it will also carry the name of the Cook In
let Pioneer. This change was deemed ad
visable in order to keep the town of Anch
orage more prominently before the reading
public and is only one of the many improve
ments contemplated as soon as the neces
sary machinery and equipment, which has
been ordered from the factory, can be de
livered.—Anchorage Daily Times.
Obviously, the new owner does not like any
j mixture. The former was a democrat and the
present is a republican. Not satisfied with the
change of politics the name of the paper is also
changed. That is the way it should be. We
congratulate the owner for the good taste dis
played.
SUPERSTITION CREATES "LIAO LUCK"
Calamity has no pets nor favorite dates. Accidents
, are bound to happen In the best of well regulated cal
i endars. Chance doesn’t follow a schedule.
There’s a definite and logical cause behind every
j happening.
Superstition is unintelligent. The man who fears
Friday can't expect to accomplish as much in life a»
; those who face every day in the week wi... enthusiasm
' and hope.
You produce bad luck by credulity in it.—Hoffman.
REASSURING THE TEACHERS
(Knickerbocker Press)
New York is safe—that is, the great metropolis of
I the western hemisphere is a place where out-of-town
folk may venture without immediate peril of benig
j scalped, sniped, drugged, kidnaped or shanghiod. This
j imporant news has been spread throughout the country
! by the bulletin of the National Education Association,
I which has its annual convention in New York in July.
"Forget the myth that painted in lurid colors the
vice and crime of New York,” says the bulletin. This
I publication further imparts to the teachers of the nation
the information that the New Yorker works in the day
' time, sleeps at night, is steady, respectable, sound, kind,
gentle and safe for a lady to drive. It is added
that there are plenty of eating places that will not take
a person’s money unless he or she insists.
With all this reassurance there should be thousands
J of charming teachers who will be bold enough to make
the trip to New York this summer. Perhaps some of
them will be disappointed if they have expected too
much excitement in modern Babylon. The city, at
| least will be a fortunate place to entertain guests so
I easy to look at and fit to admire.
