DISCUSSING
PUBLIC AFFAIRS
;4
The Progressive-Miner has been
i requested to give space for discus
sion or various subjects publicly
Nothing is more agreeable to ue
than to discuss affairs in which
the public in general and the
municipality in particular are inter
ested, because it is the only way
that the people can form an opinion
of the merrits of a point discussed
To that end, the columns of the
Progressive-Miner are always open
ed free to those who desire to use
them, provided a communication i*
signed, not. over two hundred word*
and is is not abusive, slanderous or
in anywise offensive- j*
As the election is near, many wil'
no doubt avail themselves of th«
privilege, and all will be accomodat
ed) provided the above conditions aiv
complied with.—Ed.
i GIVES HIS OPINION
I
If the people of Ketchikan really
want good government they will
make no mistake in voting for the
“Good Government Ticket," three
candidates upon which have been
tried out during the past year,
and the other four have endorsed
the policy which has converted a
large deficit into a substantial cash
balance. Moreover, the improve
ments made, where possible, have
; been of a permanent character—<
! something never before done in the
city. Never before in the city’s
history has there been to exceed
a hundred yards of permanent
street built, nor has the affairs of
the public ever been conducted in
a more business-like manner, or its
finances more zealously safeguard
ed. If these things, and many oth
ers \yhich have been accomplished
during the year, meet with your
approval, then the “Good Govern
ment Ticket” has a right to ex
pect your support.
A VOTER.
LOOKS FOR REPUDIATION.
Much is being said by the op
position about the “Good Govern
ment Ticket” containing the names
of too many hired men. Are we
to understand from this that men
who work are to be denied the
right to take part in the affairs
of the city? Such talk should and
will be repudiated by the voters

FRENCH DEPUTY POINTS OUT
FAVORABLE INDICATIONS
FOR THE ALLIES.
PARIS, March 25.—Without ex
aggeration we are r.ow justified in
believing success has come tc our
side at Verdun. Of course we can
not say the battle is completely
finished, but we do know that
smashing blows if they don't suc
ceed right away, leave insufficient
resources for a second minor
stroke
As a matter of fact, a smashing
blow that lasts for months is rath
er damp lightning.
When the German staff accumul
ated big guns to a number hitherto
unheard of to belch forth unpre
cedented destruction and throw
huge masses of men into battle,
they imagined no human force
could resist such pressure. But all
has been in vain.
We don’t know the German plans,
but it is beyond doubt that the
Kaiser still has important reserves
At the same time they do not
possess the value of ours. As to
numbers, the rising tide of the
English and Russians gives the
Allies an incontestible superiority
Wherever the Teutons attack, they
will find enough men to meet them.
HOW' A MAN GETS HIS MAIL
(By J. M. Lewis)
The letter man comes to my house
and blows his whistle shrill; and
leaves a little sack of mail, a paper
and a bill and goes away, and at
at the end of the day I appear, and
1 say crossly, “Did the man leave
any letters here?” And my wife
with her mile-a-minute crochet work
in hand tells me; “He left a paper
and you will find it on the stand.”
And that’s the truth; I find it just
the way she said I’d do, and by the
time supper’s spread, I’ve read the
paper through! and I go to the din
ing room, and on the sideboard rai1
I find a letter which came to me in
the morning mail- And then I
seek the parlor, and I sit beneath
the light, and then upon the man
telpiece I see a square of white
and I arise and size it up as care
less as can be, and I find it is a let
ter and that it’s addressed to me
And on the chiffonier upstairs and
on the clock shelf, too, wherever
1 perambulate I’m bound to find e
few she did not think to speak about
I know I get the bills, but there’s
a doubting feeling that my worried
bosom fills: Have I found all the
letters that the mail man brought
for me ? I’ve looked beneath the
bed, and looked up in the pecan tree
but one or two may have escaped
and be a-lying low. Of course I
think I’ve got them all, but I can
never know.

parachute saves life
OF FRENCH OBSERVER
PARIS, March 25. — The para
chute, with which all observers in
French captive balloons have now
been provided, was given a genu
ine test recently near Clermont in
the Argonne region. German shells
had cut the ropes holding one of
the largest of these balloons- It
immediately rose to a height of
11,000 feet and drifted toward the
German lines. The watchers be
low saw the observer get out of
the basket and launch himself into
space. After a sharp drop, the
parachute opened and the observer
reached the ground in perfect con
dition about 300 yards from the
French line.
The first sharp drop of about 15°
feet, he later explained, was dis
tinctly disagreeable, but after the
parachute spread the descent was*
pleasant and was so gentle that
during the many minutes that it
lasted he had time to take observa
tions of the movements in progress*
beyond the German lines.

THE MAN WHO IS
TURNING TO STONE
ELLSWORTH, N. H., March 20.
—For twenty years, Byron Avery,
of this place has not moved a
muscle. He is said to be actually
turning to stone. Lying in bed,
knowing his condition, “New Hamp
shire’s petrified man” is still cheer
ful most of the time and bears his
sufferings with great fortitude.
Tho he hasn’t stirred for a score
of years, slow ossification started
long before that. .Gradually he lost
the use of every limb- Now he
cannot brush an insect from his
face during the hot weather; his
teeth have been extracted and he is
being fed thru his mouth by a tube.
His body is hardened and feels and
looks like stone. It is of alabaster
whiteness, yet the nervous system
remains unimpaired and the slight
est touch causes him great pain.
The head and neck of Byron
Every are unusually large and out
of proportion with the rest of his
body. The lower portion of his
body is a skeleton and badly de
formed.
Hundreds of physicians have visit
ed the cripple, but none has ever
dared to diagnose his disease. For
many years while in the early
stages of his disease he was post
master- He transferred his work
as well as the operation of his
farm to others and made a living
from his brains. He is 61 years old
and a devout Christian.
