KETCHIKAN. ALASKA NOVEMBER 24. 1911.
LET US GIVE THANKS
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day and the peop.e of
Ketchikan are in a position to show that there are many
reasons for which they can really be thankful. The
(year that is now drawing to a close since we las;
observed our National Thanksgiving, has been to u« In
America one of special blessing, when we consider that
the rest of the world is being shaken by anparalk'ed
distresses and disasters. We have prospered while thir
teen nations or practically the whole of Europe is in the
throes of a sickening tragedy, where famine and destt
tutiers stalk abroad.
Here in Ketchikan, few there are who have net bn t
enough to eat. a roof over their heads and suitable
clothing oa their backs during the pas; year Employ
ment generally has been steady and the reraunera":cu
adequate, Legitimate trade of the city <s in fair co -
dition and is steadily improving through the generou.
cc mm unity spirit which favors a united effort for the
upbuilding of the city by the encouragement of local
industries and a campaign of publicity calculated to at
tract settlers and capital to this locality, which pre
sents unrivaled opportunities.
Among the many other things for wihch we have
abundant cause to be thankful is that we Eve in the
good old United States, and especially in Alaska, the
new country of rich resources where peace and plenty
are to be found, and which offers great opportunity for
advancement for all industrious people. Above all
we should be thankful for the good health we enjoy
and the numerous other things that go to make life
worth living.
WE CANT DO ANYTHING
Roosters may be alright bat we absolutely refuse
to appreciate their early morning concerts. However
charming their crowing may be to the old hens, it hr ?
no charm for as. Teat being so. we decided to apply
to the council for a remedial ordinance whereby own
ers of roosters would be made to gag them at night, or
do something to prevent them front disturbing our
-- ... ■■ ----...J
sleep. Fortunately, we came across the following:
which we agree fi s our case.
It appears that in a large Eastern city not long ago
a baby was accost m<y o wake up early in the morn
lug and make an exhibition of his lung power tha
greatly annoyed t: e neighbors. One of the neighbors
in particular absolutely refused to appreciate the music
and applied to the magistrate for an order of eviction
against the baby's parents. The court ruled that it was
the nature of b*b> s to cry and the duty of older folks
to endure it. T’r.a ended the case, but left the baby to
cry while giving tve neighbors no relief. Yet the
judgement was sound.
Everybody must admit that habies are necessary
At the saw tir e, everybody must also admit that they
are no more so than roosters: that is. in their respec
tive function. Consequently, if the babies must be en
dured. so must th? roosters: and there you are. No
we can't do anything.

MANNERS AND GOOD MORALS
• From the Milwaukee Journal.)
“Manners." some one says, “are the minor morals."
Say lather they are the outside symptoms of good
morals. For toe i manners rise from consideration
for others: they re the testimony to our recognition
of the principle ti nt no man tiveth to himself.
So little a thing as net interrupting as-*iner per
son Is our acceptance of every- ones right to tha
same privilege we challenge for ourselves of beim
heard. A green youth overcome by his own sapi
ence. making himself heard loudly and listening lit -
tie. is set down net merely as deficient in training and
etiquette, bat as ’acking in common sense. And any
one “when the music of his own vain tongue doth
ravish like enchanting harmony" exhibits a rarely
poor judgement of the relative importance of things.
Mayhap it doesn’t seem closely allied to morality tha
a man rise when a woman enters the room, but it is.
Among savages they don’t do that sort of thing: force
alone compels respect- The homage of civilized man to
other qualities is the reflection of his truer sense of
values.
Tee other day ~e saw a yolang girl. 1" or IS years
old. perhaps, listening quietly and attentively while *re
father told a story she had heard often. One sees so
much of inattention and smirking deprecation of
father or mother’s hobbies that it was a pleasant thing
We credit that little woman with far more than mere
good training, with the right kind of heart. For truly
good manners mean more than technique: they bespeak
the true man—and the true woman, too.

FATHER IN THE HOME
(Woman's Home Companion)
A terrible blight falls over the average male in
the bosom of his family. Outside, in the club, he may
be a -harming talker, hot enter the home and you find
hint dealing out sententious comment, instructing, lec
turing. striv-:nc to mold the joyous and new minted in
dividualities of his sons and daughters into heaver
knows net what forlorn and conventionalized image of
what a boy and girl ought to be. This passion for
interacting, by the average husband, is what causes
the bird of joy to depart in thousands of homes.
