RUNNING THE TOWN
There are always a few people in every village or city
who complain that a certain set of men want to ‘run the
town.” But those who kick most are usually those who do
nothing to assist in the civic work of their communities.
Many who never attend a public meeting, nor even
take the trouble to vote, will stand on street corners and
criticize their more active and patriotic neighbors who do
try to get necessary things done.
Running the town is not such a delightful pastime
as some imagine and the leaders in every community are
l ien who sacrifice their time and contribute their money
tr> assist movements for the public welfare.
i Those who are dissatisfied with their present lead
ership should get busy and give a hand, instead of criti
cizing from the side lines.

“A? A MAN TIIINKETH
At the annual conference of the Labor party in Bir
mingham, England, Lieut. Comm. J. M. Ken worthy, a
Laborite, warned of the danger of war between Great
Britain and the United States, and between France and
Italy.
Every little while some wiseacre spouts off about a
proposed or imagined war. And just that often the sen
sible people of the countries involved throw out thoughts
of peace to counteract the thought or suggestion of war.
Usually, it is the fellow “in the business” of war who
talks war. But it is the higher-up, never the private.
There is no more danger of war between the United
States and Great Britain than there is between a kitten
and its mother, and the Hon. Lieut. Comm, knows it. Such
abortive statements as he made warrant severe con
demnation.
“Hold fast to that which is good" until you can grab
something better.

Discoverer Plans I
To Leave Thursday
Cook Inlet Ports §
After word was received from
Seattle that there was not a bronze ;
propeljor shaft available in that
city and that it would take at least !
60 days to make one, Capt. Heinie j
Berger of the Motorship Discoverer
carrying passengers, mail and i
freight between Seward and Cook
Jnlet points, has decided to install
a steel shaft temporarily, in order i
to resume service at the earliest,
possible moment The Discoverer1
bent her propeller, and damaged
her tail s!#.ft on her last trip from
Seldovia here, running into heavy
weather that prevailed down the
peninsula, when the high winds
and tides carried her against a big
channel bony near Pearl Island.
It is now calculated that the Dis
jcoverer will be able to put to sea by
| Thursday, with the aid of Charles
Lechner of the Seward Machine
|Shops who will have the job of in
jstallation of the tail shaft after
i the ship is beached for the purpose,
jit brings to notice very acutely the
I need of marine ways for small craft
here, a matter that is to be taken
up by the Chamber of Commerce.
Capt. Berger said that he will
have a full load of freight most of
| which will be discharged at Iliam
na Bay for transportation across to
Iliamna Lake for the trading sta
tion of Severance and Bailey. O.
B. Millet, owner of big copper pro
perties in that region will be a pas
senger. Capt. Berger expects to
make most of the ports between
here and Anchorage and will take
passengers who may get informa
tion at the Gateway.
