KETCHIKAN. ALASKA. JUNE 14. ISIS.
THE FOURTH OF JULY.
The Fourth of July! Sorry is the man or boy
to whom this does not mean anything. On the
other hand, happy is the man or boy who under
derstand the message and can respond to it.
To most of us men. the mention of the Fourth
of July brings fond recollections from as far back
as we can remember—perhaps from way back
when we were just beginning to learn things
about the great holiday, when father or uncle or
somebody showed us how to light a fire-cracker,
then later, when weeks before the Fourth, we
began to gather pennys to get a bunch of crack
ers. Some of us can remember every detail of
of those celebrations. And what a time we had!
Most of us remember how our father enjoyed
to see us having some fun. as we used to call it.
How ‘-dad” looked and acted. He became a kid
again in those days. It does our old heart good
to remember.
Ketchikan is preparing to celebrate the Fourth
in the old fashion, and in order to bring hap
piness to our kids, we must get together, con
tribute liberally our pennys and go back, at least
in memory, and watch our kids enjoy themselves.
Let us become kids again.
To prepare for the celebration of the Fourth,
is laborious and costly. The various commit
tees wii] have to devote a great deal of time and
energy; and those of us who labor not. should
contribute liberally and thus help along the good
work.
IT DOES NOT LOOK REASONABLE.
According to a late dispatch, the municipal
authorities of the city of Seattle have refused
to comply with the apparently unreasonable de
mand of the longshoremen, and more trouble
may follow. If such is the case, there need not
be any doubt about the unfairness of the cause
of the strikers, because the business men of
Seattle would not for one moment countenance
the demoralization of the shipping commerce if
there could be found a semblance of justice in
the demand of the strikers. If the dispute was
between private concerns alone, it would be an
other matter: but when the importance of a
shipping center like Seattle is involved, it is well
that the business men take a hand.
It seems strange that the government allows
strikes to go on. When a controversy arises as
in this case, where thousands and thousands are
made to suffer, the authorities should take hold
of the situation to the end that the people who
are not interested do not suffer. None will deny
that due to the action of a handful of men. so
to speak, the country- is involuntarily drawn in
to a controversy of which it has no concern. The
city of Seattle, as a municipality- having control
over the doings of its citizens yvithin its limits,
in our opinion, should take a stand such as yvould
protect its interest as a yvhole. and if the com
panies are unreasonable, make them come to
term and do likewise with the strikers. The
municipalities along the coast which control the
shipping facilities are. or should be the best
judge of what is fair or unfair, and as such
should not permit a feyv to impose on the many
who are not concerned directly.
FLAG DAY.
Evidently, the citizens of Ketchikan have some
consideration for the flag of their country if the
large display conveys such idea. It is well, as
our flag means a great deal—or should. There
can be no better display of patriotism. A na
tion without a flag may be said to be a nation
without a recognized government; and what
would a country- become without a government ?
A display of our country’s flag is to be encourag
ed as it inspires patriotism, an attribute that
is lacking in too many, unfortunately.
WORK AND HAPPINESS.
(Columbus Ev ening Dispatch.»
Col Roosevelt says that those who "cloak their un
willingness to toil and endure, are timid and laiy. But
what woaid he say to those who are unwilling to toll j
and endure, and do not cioak it ? Perhaps he would say
that they are unjust to themselves and to others, court
ing unhappiness for themselves and seeking to extend
it to others. If so. he would not be far wrong.
The person who is unwilling to toil and endure does
not properly belong in this world, for happily this is a
world of wort He ought to go hence or reform. Work
is. in itself, not a thing to complain of: rather is it some
thing to be joyous about. Of course, the conditions of
work may be unpleasant and the task before us may
be distasteful. But the character of the task is gen
erally of our own choosing and we are unfortunate if
we have made a poor selection. Loving some work, the
effort should be to get into the work we love. As for
working conditions, they are something of our own
making: and where they are not, they are always sub
ject to correction. Work is the discipline that makes
character, loving one's work is the joy of living. Of all
mortals we can conceive of none more unhappy than
those »ho are unwilling to toil and endure and try to
hide their unwillingness.
