Wrangell Defeats
 ketchikan Again

Last Saturday was red letter day for the Wrangell Basket Ball Team and added another notch in their long line of-rictories sn that popular sport when the ketchikan team went down to defeat before them by a score of 9 to 34,
 The ketchikan team as reported last week in the Sentinel, arriI ed in Wrangell early Saturday after noon, on the big gas boat Fl Raso, Capt. Harry Ayers, coming here to play the return game to the one played in Ketchikan on New Years night. Along with the ketchikan boys team came the ladies team of that city and as they wanted to play the WrangeIl ladies, rather than let them think that the aVran- gell ladies had cold feet, a team was formed that afternoon and 8 game between the two ladies teams was arranged as a preliminary to the big game to be played that night at the Rink.
 The ladies game was called sharply at eight thirty, and the two teams played two ten minute halves with five minute rest and the score at the close of the game stood 4 to 0 in favor of the visit ing ladies. Although the ketehikan team won the game 1t was a close and hard fought battle all the way through, the star playing for the home team being Hanna Choquette

Capt. links
 Finds Safe

Capt. links safe which was stolen from his place of business the early part of last week, was found last Tuesday morning lying on the beach at low tide on Shoe stack Point, directly across the bay from town. Frank Water berry discovered the safe as he was rowing past that place.
 The robbers had evidently plac- ed the safe on row boat and taken it to the point where they opened it by koncking off the com- bination and the heavy hinges let ting the door drop out. The safe is a complete loss unless another door can be fitted to it, as the door is pounded to pieces, but with the exception of bent wheel, the rest of the safe is all right.
 None ot the Contents of the safe was discovered by Capt. links and he is using every available source in trying to locate them. The most valuable Contents of the safe was Capt. links Permit Papers to be in the United States, which was issued to him B years ago. rlso the insurance papers on his building which he has in- sured for $500, the building con tract for his location from J. G, Grant, an open lace watch belong ing to Blind Tom, gold finger ring and town warrant No. 25I drawn in favor of Tom Case.

Hull ' Rice Choquette Center Roessel Grant Guard Elliott Lynch " Mercer
 Alter a short wait, caused by one Of the ketchikan players being locked out of the dressing room, the boys game was called, and amid the deafening noise made by every conceivable noise maker the boys took their places on the floor and the big game was on. The umpire for the evening was George Nor 'thrup and the referee was Jack Roundsfeldt. At the toss-up the centers jumped for the ball and Harry Coulter, playing center the first half for the home team, struck the ball driving it into the home hands who with a few seconds play carried it to Lynch who made a clean basket. After the first two baskets ketchikan took hand and made a couple and tken 1t was again reversed to the home team and then again to the visitors and so on through the first half, and at the end of the twenty minutes playing the score stood Ketchikan 3 and Wrangell II.
 But the second half was far different story. The Wrangell boys with the exception of one player had been playing out of their regular position the first half and in the second, Sylvester was placed back in center. and Lewis took his place in the line and Coul- ter stepped out leaving the team perfect. and the way they played the second half showed that the Wrangell boys have basket ball down to perfection and their team work was perfect, although we cant say that the visitors did not play for they did and they made the boys fight for what they got, but each goal was the same as the first the ball going straight from the center to the Wrangell basket and then through, only twice in the last half did the Ketchikan team get a chance at the basket and each time was a bad miss, so at the close of the second half the boys had run up 20 more marks and the visitors none, leaving the score at the close of the game 34 to 9 in favor of Wrangell.
 To try to define the individual plays of each player is an impos- sibllity, but suffice to say that every man on the team from Capt. Lynch to Sub. Coulter played strong and each showed that they have mastered the finer points of the game. Capt. Lynch was the star player of the game in the bas- ket shooting line, having to his honor a2 points, Center Sylvester comes second with eight points and Forward Dalgity third with the remaining four points.
 
 From the score one would think that the home team had no opposi- ton in the game, but to everyone

MOTHERS PENSIONS. - Illinois
enacted the first statewide mothers
pension law. Since that time Henry
Neil, father of the idea, has Travelled
the country over interesting men and
women of public purpose, so that now
p northern states have adopted the
mothers pension plan and put it in
operation. Last week the lower
house of the Tennessee legislature
passed a similar law by a unanimous
vote. In the meantime, the Charity
Trust hObbled the Illinois law by an
amendment which. deprived deserted
mothers and mothers with alien hus-
bands, and their children, of the ben
eft of the law.
There is now pending in the Illinois
legislature an amendment to the
amended law which practically re-
stores the mothers pension law to it's
original form. 1t is to be hoped this
amendment will become a law. AS it
is now, the state is putting dependent
children in various institutions and
paying $40 a month for the keep of
boys and SIS for girls. It would be
far better to pay this money to moth
ers and let them keep their children
at home. It makes no difference
whether the mothers happen to be
deserted mothers, or their husbands
have not become naturaHzed citizens.
The children are here, and we should
do the best we can for them by way
of giving them a chance to become
good citizens.

The Charity Trust should keep its
hands OFF. There is already dissat-
isfaction with cold, calculating, cor
ganized" charity, because of the
large portion of the aims they beg
going to pay salaries of professional
beggers and charity sharks. And
about the easiest thing they do in
their line is to take children away
from their mothers and put them in
institutions, which after all are near
er to being jails than real homes, be-
cause there are keepers rather than
mothers to care for the children.

KICKING THE CORPSE. - An
those kicks the politicians are taking
at the Bull Moose corpse may be pre-
mature. The corpse may be grOggy,
but not dead. Hard times are pros
porous times for reactionaries. Prog
ress hats and marks time when the
people are hard up. With PenTOse
and his gang coming back into con-
troll of the G. o. P. and the same old
reactiOnary element fighting Wilson
and gaining control of the Democrat
ic party, means a revival in the due
course of time of prOgressiveism.
The Progressive party failed for Vari=
GUS reasons. One was the nom
nation of Wilson at Baltimore and
the defeat of the Belmonts, Ryans,
Taggarts and SuIliVans. Had Har-
mon been nominated at Baltimore, or
even Champ Clark, with Hearst back
of him, there would have been a rush
ing together of prOgressives of all
parties into one new party. AS it
happened, only the Republican party
was split.
The same split is inevitable in the
Democratic party, and when both old
parties split into prOgTessives and re-
dictionaries there will be born a new
party in which the prOgressives of
both old parties will meet on COM
mon ground-and the same purpose. .
The temporary setback since 1912
helped get rid of the fake progress
sives, the OppOrtunists. So don't be
in too big a hurry to kick the corpse
until you're sure it's dead
