KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, SEPTEMBER 30, 1915.
HELP A WORTHY CAUSE
_
Sometime ago, the management of tl'O local hos
pital made a report of the condition, services and needs
of the institution that left no room to doubt that help
was needed. At that time the Progressive made a sag
gestion that made the good and geuorous people of Ket
chikan think. With the members of the Ketchikan
Lyceum, to think means action ami the more they thought
of the matter the more active they became with the re
sult that an extra-ordinary evening entertainment has
been provided for in the presentation of ‘'Queen Esther”
on the evenings of the seventh and eighth of October, the
proceeds, after deducting the actual expense, to go to
the hospital.
Now, a hospital in a community like ours, is as
much a necessity as a good bed to sleep on is in a home,
and needs care. The running expense of the hospital,
such as salaries to nurses, fuel, lights and repairs, must
be met, and since a hospital is necessary, the good citi
zens of the town should contribute their share In making
the coming entertainment a complete success financially
and otherwise. Who of us cannot afford to contribute
a dollar in support of such institution when so many are
devoting their time, energy and talents in the preparation
of the entertainment? Besides, who can toll but what
the day may come when some of our loved ones may
need such a home.

A rumor is going the rounds that another change
is slated to take place at the court house soon. A Re
publican will be decapitated and a Democrat enthroned.
It is well as the Keupbliean office holders are pests, pure
and simple. Democrats are much preferable under the
present administration, they can work and fiddle together
much more harmoniously than when here and there a dis
cordant Republican comes in with a false note. A re
publican office holder under a Democratic administra
tion is very much like a bad weed in a rose garden—out
of place.
If it’s up to tho “other fellow” to judge who has 1
n “character,” a mighty few of us can claim such
attribute. Along this line of thought, those who put
themselves up as competent to criticize other’s actions are
often blinded by their own conceit.

PEACE AT ANY PRICE
Senator dawn K. Kern declares that he is opposed
to strengthening the army and navy for the reason that
“the people want peace.” All that .Tnwn tacks to
make a first-class Chinaman of him is a pigtail, a clean
shave, and a Mother Hubbard with gold braid on it.—FI.
Wayne News.
We humbly suggest the addition of n sport shirt,
a wrist watch and a powder puff to the outfit.—-Ham
mond Times.
A better way would be to denude him of his clothes
and give him a barrel. Then lie would be as prepared as
this country is to withstand intruders without taking to
the woods.—
Let's permit our dawn to go ahead ns usual. lie
may be able fo extend Mint famous senatorial cloture so
as to shut off the whole European debate. Such a pro
eceding would be just as effectual as the Bryan pin wish
ing peace on long distant belligernts.—-Indiana Daily
Times, Indianapolis.
PLOTTERS UNMASKED
(From the Post-Intelligencer)
Labor interests have some reason to be proud of
the patriotic part taken by President O’Connor and other
officials of the international Longshoremen's Association
in declining to lend their aid to European influences
whose interests would be served by a strike of long
shoremen. To prevent the export, of munitions of war
and of foodstuffs it was desired to tie up the overseas
shipping of :he United States. Foreign money was of
fered to the union officials in large sums. Correspondence
with foreign agents and evidence of the negotiations wore
sent to the government by the union officials..
President O’Corror was in correspondence with the
Boston agent of the foreign interests when he visited
Seattle last .Tune. One Mathew Cummings Is stated to
be the agent who was to arrange for the strike and was
to pay O’Connor for his services. The sinking of the
Lusitania- chilled the ardor of the chief plotter, and it
was thought unwise to press the plans In view of tin
great public feeling. While O’Connor was unable to ol
tain the final evidence of the payment of money, he turn
ed over his correspondence with Cummings to the federal
authorities, and secret service agents uncovered the whole
plot.
It was an intrusion in our national affairs of the
same quality as that indulged in by the Austrian ambas
sador, Dr. Dumba, though this particular plot has not
been traced to him. Cummings and the agents who em
powered him to negotiate for the strike have been un
masked, but the name of the principal plotter has not
been disclosed.
President O’Connor, it will be remembered, came
to Seattle to adjust the differences between local ship
ping men and the longshoremen. A strike was in pro
gress at that time. Far from carrying out the purposes
of Cummings and the interests behind him, O'Connor’s in
fluence settled the differences ami the men returned to
their work.
