Topic for week: The Joy of Re

St. John 15.
-‘‘These things have I spoken un
to you, that my joy might remain
in you, and that your joy might
be full."
Christ speaks in this chapter not
only to his disciples of nearly 1900
joars ago, but to us of today. As
the branches receive life from the
vine, so we receive life from
Christ. He calls us friends, and
it is a joyous friendship.

VERY PERTINENT
SUBJECT DISCUSSED
What is all this political hub
bub about ? The ^Progressive-Miner
advocates "Harmony" and says
names of all candidates for city
offices should appear on one bal
lot, thus enabling the voter to make
his or her selection,—the very sys
tem that has been in vogue in
Ketchikan for years,—and if all
were satisfied to submit the mat
ter to the honest judgment of the
voters these local dissensions would,
doubtless, grow less, but it is not
to be. This year, the caucus was
duly held and the, so called, Good
Government representatives were
on hand to nominate their favor
ites and, indeed, there was a very
good list of our best citizens plac
ed in nomination. All that seem
ed necessary was for the voters
to make their choice from the lidt
of those who filed their acceptance,
and a good Councilboard would
have been selected without any
bitter strife; but those who have
played in the political cess-pool,
usually acquire a fascination for
it; so it seems the G. G. Combine
concluded to frame-up a ticket,
for use, and discovering that some
thing was lacking in the list of
nominees, they proceeded to add
three, by petition, two of whom
have no particular interests here
except that of satisfying their em
ploers so as to hold their jobs.
The G. G. Combine have started
the publicity advertising which
naturally, calls for a response.
They are sounding the praises of
this Council on economy and their
great achievement in street im
provement, and last night’s paper
contains an article which indulges
in mean references to some ex
penses incurred by former Coun
cils, notably, the pumping system.
There has, without doubt, been
many dollars spent in ways that
would be reckless waste under pres
ent conditions; but at the time that
pump was installed we had a very
inefficient water system and every
owner of a building of any value,
in the business section of the town
was clamoring for fire protection:
several meetings were held and
many plans proposed; perhaps the
best course was not chosen, but
it was a plan that served us for
several years, and was a make
shift until we could do better, and
was, to say the most of it, no
more a mis-fit than the first water
system installed. We are supposed
to improve on the methods and
conveniences of our fore-fathers as
a result of their hardships and ex
periments; but that does not prove
ment. Such statements are un
ttiem rec. kless or lacking in judg
fair, to put it mildly. Only that
■“—■— ' ..
the G. G. Combine claims a "corn-!
er” on economy and efficiency, we
would not refer to their work. The
work done on Main and Grant
streets is good as far as it has
gone and, I have heard no ac
cusations of extravagance against
the present Council but some of
their methods are open to much |
criticism; for instance, the cheap;
labor standard adopted by them;!
the employment of non-residents of
the city for appointive positions'
therein; the long delay, and ap- j
parent lack of interest, in pushing
the building of Cliff Avenue to
connect with the Charcoal Point
roadway. Their activities in street
improvement, do not shine con
spicuously on the principle business
streets. By an increase of the tax
levy, receipts from the Townsite
Commissioner’s Sale, and the ex
tended city limits, they boast of
a balance, whereas, that balance is!
at the expense of, very much, need
ed improvements on our -(business
thoroughfares. There is no valid
objection to some representation
of corporate interests on the Town
Council, but it is a menace to the
public welfare to select a corpora
tion-<*vned-council.
Following is a ticket composed
of, representative, business men, se
lected from the list of regular
nominees, all upright, honorable,
intelligent and independent to act
impartially for all; all of whom
are interested in the growth and
prosperity of the town; all of
whom are likely to be "on the job"
throughout the entire year; you
know these junketing trips of half
the Council, for months at a time,
interfere with regular work. How*
does the following line-up appeal
to you ?
For Mayor, M. J. Heneghan; for
councihnen, Edw. Brown, E. J.
Copeland, J. J. Gilmore, Wm. T.
Mahoney, Jacob Pittenger. .There
is still one lacking, but these are
all independent of corporate con
trol; there are other good names
among the list from which to
complete a good ticket. Banish
vassalage and let the voice of the
PEOPLE rule. Of course we would
all like to administer affairs to
suit our individual desires, but jud
ges are not, usually, permitted to
try cases instituted for or against
themselves; neither should the cor
porations, owning canneries and con
trolling, practically, all our water
front, have the power to satisfy
every selfish desire at public ex
pense.

LARGEST PRODUCER OF
RADIUM.
According to a writer in Radium,
the Austrian government—the larg
est European producer of radium—
obtained 2014 milligrammes of ra
dium element in the salts produced
in 1911 and 1698 milligrammes of
radium element in 1913. The data
on production in 1914 are not yet
available so far as the writer is
aware, and, while strenuous efforts
were being made to increase the
output in 1913 and 1914, it is doubt
ful whether more radium will be
obtained than in preceding years.

BITE BUBBLES WHEN
DRINKING FROM FOUNTAIN
“Bite the bubble should be the
rule in using the bubbling drinking
fountain,” says an inspector of the
United States Public Health Ser
vice* “The lips should not touch
any part of the fountain, and un
der no circumstances should the
fountain be used for rinsing the
mouth or for expectorating. If im
properly constructed or improperly
used, the bubbling drinking fountain
may be a greater menace to health
than the common drinking cup.
“The other day,” continued the
inspector, “I took a seat beside a
public drinking fountain in a rail
road station and carefully watched
the way in which it was used—or
abused.
“Forty-seven different persons, of
whom 11 were men, 22 were women
and 14 were children, used the bub
bling fountain. In almost every
case the lips were placed almost
completely around the metal part
'from which the water spurted, and
one small boy seemed as if he were
trying to swallow it- Several of
the men obviously were chewing
tobacco. Of the 47 people, four
were colored, three looked as tho
they might have tuberculosis, and
three had an eruption upon the
face.
Every person using the bubbling
drinking fountain should bear in
mind that the object of this sani
tary device is to prevent the inter
change of mouth secretions. When
mucous and other matter becomes
attached to metal it sometimes re
quires considerable force to remove
it, and this is not always accom
plished by a slowly moving current
of water.”
