KETCHIKAN, ALASKA,'MAY 1, 1916.
'j HIS IS OUR CLEAN-UP-WEEK.
Let us see: It seems to us that last week we
promised to take this week as ,a “clean-up” week. If
we did make such a promise, there is no need for a
reminder, and it suffices to say that the week is with
us- Nos'- let us get to work. Not that we need a
clean-up very bad, because we don’t; but just to keep
up the good habit. Besides, the Honorable Mayor
backed up by the whole council ordered it, which is
quite sufficient assurance that the order 'shall be en
forced- A proof that the council does just what it
says lays in the fact that it was agreed to visit the
location for a recreation park yesterday- Yesterday
came and every member of the council forgot that it
was Sunday, forgot their devotion to the church and
in a body went according to agreement, and today the
town is possessed of a beautiful location for a park;
and there you are. Isn’t that proof that we shall be
made to clear.-up whether we want to or not 7 It sure is
A TIMELY ORGANIZATION.
According to the Seward papers, the republicans
of that division have organized in opposition to the
Shack combination, for the purpose of taking over the
management of the machine into their hands. In
cidentally. and as cruel as this may seem, leave the
combination out in the cold, cold world with nothing
to manage.
But why all this fuss? What did Shack ever
manage anyhow? For a man to be a manager, he
must have something or somebody to manage- Shack
hasn’t got anything, or anybody to manage- Nobody
will let him- Such being the case all what the re
publicans of the Third division had to do was to
resuscitate the old machine, oil it well and set it in
motion with the proper pilot to steer it around gather
ing in adherents of respectable government- An easy
job. provided the pilot can show that he is not an
“underhanded worker or a confirmed W- W. man- If
the pilot is a confirmed Wilson-Wickersham man he
will not do anymore than he would do if he were a
Shack man. But if he is T. R- man, he can have it all
his own- That’s the way it looks to us anyhow.
Tlie Juneau Empire says: “As far as these
Presidential preference primaries go. President Wilson
is the one sure shot.” Yes, ves, of course with the
democrats, because there are no other democrat fit
for the position. However it does not mean that
there are no republican better fitted than Wilson i' -• <
the position- President Wilson is a kind and lovabie
man, and would undoubtedly make a splendid presi
dent of a Sunday School class, but when it comes to
preside over a nation full of annoyances, he lacks the
nerve to strike hard. Roosevelt is THE ONLY MAN.
A HOWLING FARCE.
(Seattle Times.)
\\hen Pershing was ordered into Mexico to catch
Panchc. Villa six airships were placed at his dis
posal- Withm a few days two of them were out of
commission.
Latir it was announced that the remaining air
craft were so underpowered that they were unable to
fly in the rare air of the mountain heights, where they
were needed by the columns seeking to spy out the
fleeing bandit. In fact the aviators were said to take
their lives in their hands when they made a flight
Ultimately a third plane was retired via the acci
dent route. Yesterday’s news reports carried informa
tion about a mishap to a fourth and also the state
ment that the other two would be taken to Columbus
and scrapped
This.. then, is the record made by the United
States aviation corps in the first operations where
American planes were used under service conditions, i
The blame, however, devolves upon Congress, hot upon
the corps, which has been striving to do the impossible
with the meager appropriations made foT* it.
THE POISONERS.
(Tacoma News)
Witnesses who are qualified to know whereof they
speak testify that more drunk men were seen on the
streets of Tacoma Saturday evening than at any time
since the prohibition law took effect, and more than
usually were seen before that time- It is reported
about the streets that liquor is procurable in many
places, including some of the drug stores. It is a well
known fact, recognized by officers of the law, that
most of the whisky being consumed is of a most
dangerous variety
The fact that it is extremely poisonous makes
more necessary the strictest enforcement of the law
and the officials must awaken to the power of the foe
they have to fight
The ’aw must be enforced- Those who sell liquor
unlawfully must be clapped into jail and their fixtures
confiscated. 'Temporizing with poisoners will not do
We must hit and hit hard, and so impress the evil
doers. if possible, as to drive them Into the paths of
honest labor. A man who will drink the rot-gut of
the bootlegger is a fool, just as the man who sells it
is a cold-blooded criminal, and the community must
find the means of dealing with both of them

The high cost of living may be reduced. NOT
by buying CHEAP GOODS, but by buying the best
goods cheap.
YOUR great problem is, to get the best value to
be had for the money; and TO GIVE the best value
that can be given for the money, is OUR great aim.
For fifteen years we have been selling the best
coffees the world has produced, from the Islands of
Java and Sumatra, from Arabia, from South and
Central America, and while these coffees each have
some predominating fine quality, the problem has>
been to combine them and yet preserve all their fine
qualities and to so blend them as to reach PERFECT
ION IN THE CUP.
This has now been accomplished. You will find
a coffee THAT JUST SUITS YOU in CRYSTAL
BLEND, a coffee that stands alone UNEQUALED.
I/et us send you a pound package to convince you
that it is THE BEST COFFEE YOU EVER DRANK.
Phone us your order today.
