That Neighborly Spirit

The people of the city of Ash
land and the Ashland Daily Press
seem to be getting unduly excit-
ed over the fact that the DUPONT
company special work train is
continuing to carry men to
and from this city the same as
has been done during the past
seven or eight years.
When this company employed
but three hundred men Ashland
did not seem to get excited.
They said Washburn was entitled
to it's industry, but now that this.
business has grown to large pro-
portions they begin to see where
a lot of good business is getting
away from them and they are
now Offering to house and feed
the Dupont work men providing
the company will run their work
train in that direction.
The Ashland people do not
want to take any business that
rightfully belongs to Washburn
but they are extending a friendly
palm by offering to help Wash
burn care for it's many people.
How nice of them to feel this
way about it.
For seven or eight years the
DUPONT company and the work
men at their plant have been
used right. Whenever more
room was needed for employees
Washburn has always provided
it the same as it is doing at the
present time. Washburn can not
only house and feed all the men
the Dupont company will use but
by stretching itself can care for
all that may be sent here by all
other companies and what is
more Washburn will continue to
use them right, even though the
people here may consider that
the possibility of losing a con-
Germ is ever so small. Washburn
has a reputation of taking care
of what it has in addition to
reaching out for other concerns.
To the outsider, and especially
to the people Of this city, the
Ashland people do not show up
in a very good light in their
great attempt to land a part Of
this business. The spirit that
the Ashland people are now
showing is the same that has
been foremost in their natures
during the past twenty years
that of trying to "swipe" some
industry from a neighboring town
instead of devoting their energies
to landing some industry for
themselves.
Had the Ashland people used
the same amount of energy in
hustling for new industries that
| it has used in endeavoring to get
industries from it's neighbors the
city would not today be an over
grown town but instead a
fourishing city with it's neigh
bors to help boost it along.

FRANK HAD THOUGHT
 MEDICATION WOULD COME

Probably the last letter written by Leo M. Frank before he was taken from Mnledgeville Penitentiary and hanged to a tree near Marietta Ga. was that to Walter G. Greenebaum, a Chicago man who had befriended Frank during his long fight in the courts.
 The letter was as follows Dear Mir. Greenebaum:
 thank you for your kind letter of 7-22-15. also for the package of letters. am deeply moved by this evidence Of helpfulness in my cause While l am new to stripes and a penal institution. yet I can school my self to wait patiently for that day in the near future. l hope when the full detail of this case will be SO plain that vindication and liberation will result. The action of his ex- cellency has met with some bitter denunciation in some quarters in Georgia. The future will reveal his sagacity The present demonstrates his manhood.
 With every good wish, J am,
 Cordially,

ALASKA
 TRADE CONDEMNED

SEATTLE. Aug. %. - During the last session of Congress. which t may be remembered was some what lengthy one. Congressman F. O. Smith. of Maryland. introduced in the House a resolution embodylng @ rather novel proposal. says American Industries. He proposes to arrange with Canada an exchange. whereby that country will receive the Alaska Panhandle in return for some other tract of land.
 The object of this proposal is to re- move a potential cause of war be- tween the United States and Canada and to further the feelings of amity between the two peoples. The prop osltion is not altogether without mer- 1t. but these imperial deals in real estate should be approached with some caution.
 It is true that the Panhandle of Alaska effectively bars Canada from the Pacific coast for a distance of sev- eral hundred miles, but it is not SO much @ certainty that the territory is without value to the United States. ID the first place Congressman Smiths scheme is based on military consid- erations of some moment, and 1t should be borne in mind that Sitka the capital of Alaska. is 9 naval base of importance.
 It is one of the points in the strat- egic triangle completed by Honolulu and Unalaska. It is. therefore. in view of the existing Anglo-Nipponese alliance. unwise to surrender to the ally of a possible enemy an important naval position.-Seattle Tlmese.

JIM WlcKlNe, NATIVE,
 NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED

The bullet was removed from his leg this morning and unless some unexpected infection sets in he will be up again in a few days. The boys father came in with him and said this morning that Jim had just re- turned from sitta where he had been attending school, in order to work in the cannery at Hoonah, where his father and four brothers are en- ployed. Jim is 15 years old and is a sturdy lad, SO there is little danger of anything particularly serious re- sulting from his accident.

SPEAKS ON SUFFRAGE
FOR NIGHT WORKERS

Suffrage For Night Workers" is
the latest. Mrs. Susan w. Fitzgerald,
secretary Of the National Americap
Woman Suffrage Association, who is
now campaigning in New Jersey, be
gins her days work at two In the
morning when she goes to the public
market at Newark in order to speak
to the farmers and market gardeners
who are bringing in their truck.
1--WE must not neglect the large
number of men who work at night, :"
says Mrs. Fitzgerald. "There are
many of them and we need their
help. / first discovered the advan-
tages of midnight meetings when cam
paigning in my own state of Massa-
chusetts. We held meetings at mid
night in a big paper factory in the
Berkshires and found them very well
worth while. The factory was quiet
and the men had fewer distractions
than the day workers. believe that
suffragists should take particular
pains to see that the night workers ii
their state are reached"
