KETCHIKAN. ALASKA, FEBRUARY 7. 1916
NO NAME FOR IT
Years ago a nan said that “war was belt"' No
doubt the man had reference to actual warfare
such as shooting on? another with guns or cannons.
A; that time, the world thought the express;or. fit
ted the action: and reflected. If that name was ap
plicable to war at that tune, which meant that hell
could be no worse than war: what name can we give
the present warfare 7 We wonder.
As despicable as the spy may be; as dastardly
:..s the use of poisonous gas is on the battle fieid:
as -r-.,;--r»r as the blowing up by submarine of pas
-erger steamers, to as they cannot be compared with
the leppeiins or other airship reds. These infer
nal machines—inventions of blood craving brains—
carry death usd destruction wherevery the care to fly
drooping bombs promiscuously or the innocent, the
defenseless, the cripple, the sick, the young, the* old
the fre nds and tie foes with equanimity, without
warning and without a sound to mark their costing.
They creep through the nigh: like the snake through
tie grass to carry on their infernal work, that of tak
ing human life. If the name of hell defined war
fifty years ago, what can define the present day war
fare 7 And a nation that encourages such a war
'd re. deserves asr-hiis:.-'- Should the property
alone be subjected to such attack, it coutd be just
ified. bat the life of an innocent person cannot be
sacrificed in such a manner unless it be to satisfy
the depraved desire to take «ife. If a man becomes
a murderer, the world -urns against him and he is
hunted to his grave, and the world applauds. Why
ihetfc it not apply to a nation* It seents to us
that every neutral nation in the present war should
join in a pretest against the teppehn raids and other
similar airship raids, and as the event the protest
. unheeded. they should jo;-, and red the world of
the murdering nation, thereby, as least save the in
nocents. _ _

THE SUCCESSFUL BEFFP
Persistency and ambition make a combination bard
to defeat. Ambition selects a purpose and persis
tency carries it to success. The combination is
fot=nd in every successful man throughout the world.
Ambition having selected a purpose will watch for j
an opportunity and when it discovers it, enters into
and persistency opens the breach that lepds to j
success. Many of us in Alaska have failed for the
lack of either ambition or persistence* Opportuni
ties are here aplenty. But what is the use. we
haven’t got the ambition to select a purpose. Let
us wake up and boost for our town and make it the
best in Alaska. Let »* boost everything, including
the proposes gymnasium.

GERMANY’S INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH
The great danger which confronted us at one
time was the danger of a lack of raw material. Hr
knew that we should not be defeated militarily; we
also knew that a country producing more than .80 i
per cent, of its foodstuffs could not be starved out.
But that a country should be almost completely
blockaded, and yet live, work, equipp and carry out
a war—Shis we did not know, but this we know now.
Our organisation of the supply of raw material has
been ecessfully carried out, and it is to this organ
isation that we also owe the permanent and contin
uous progress which s being made in the substitu
tion of home-made stuff for foreign raw material. . .
Germany is marching toward peace with the same
joyous feelings as those with which she marched into
the war. The words. which were spoken yesterday
in the re: oh stag are still re-echoing in our hearts.
Germany, like all the rest of the feeling and thinking
world. dsjre> peace, but only such peace as will safe
guard her honor, security and power. Our industry
is stronger than ever before, better prepared to go
os to the very last, and prove that it is as inconquer
able as our army. We possess the will and the
streng th to hold out as well as to fight-—Herr

ACCURACY AND TRUTH
Anybody can be accurate—the star, with the foot
ruse is that. Accuracy js the attainment of small
minds, the achievement of the commonplace, a mere
machine-made thing that comes with niggardly re
search and ciphering and mensuration and the multil
pication table, good in its place, so only the place is
very small. In fiction it can under certain circum
stances be dispensed with altogether. It Is not a
thing to be striven for. To be true is the all-impor
tant business, and, once attaining that, “all other
things shall be added unto you.” Paint toe horse
pea green if it suits your propose: fill the mouth of
Rebecca with gasconades and rfcodemontades inter
minable; these things do not matter. It is the truth
that matters, and the point is whether the daubs of
tea green will look like horse flesh and the mouth
filling words create the impression of actual battle.—
Frank Norris.
