 the c. c. Combine claims a "corn- CT" on economy and efficiency, we would not refer to their work. The work done on Main and Grant streets is good as far as it has gone and, have heard no ac- cusations of extravaganza against the present Council but some of their methods are open to much criticism; for instance, the cheap labor standard adopted by them: the employment of non-residents of the city for appointive positions therein; the long delay, and ap- parent lack of interest, in pushing the building of Cliff Avenue to connect with the Charcoal Point roadway Their activities in street improvement, do not shine con spicuously on the principle business streets. By an increase of the tax levy, receipts from the Townsite Commissioners Sale, and the ex- tended city limits, they boast of a balance, whereas, that balance is at the expense of, very much, need ed Improvements on our @business thoroughfares. There is no valid objection to some representation of corporate interests on the Town Council, but it is menace to the public welfare to select a corpora tion-o -owned-council.
 Following is ticket composed of, representative, business men, se- lected from the list of regular nominees, all upright, honorable. intelligent and independent to act impartially for all; all of whom are interested in the growth and prosperity of the town; all of whom are likely to be "on the job" throughout the entire year; you know these junketing trips of half the Council, for months at a time. iiieSiiSiS WiIH lSS uidF WOTk. HOW does the following lineup appeal to you?
 For Mayor, M. J. Heneghan; for councimen, Edw. Brown, E. J. Copeland, J. J. Gilmore, Wm. T. Mahoney, Jacob Pittenger. There is still one lacking, but these are all independent of corporate con- trol; there are other good names among the list from which to complete good ticket. Banish vassalage and let the voice of the PEOPLE rule. Of course We would all like to administer affairs to suit our individual desires, but jud- ges are not, usually, permitted to try cases instituted for or against themselves; neither should the cor porations, owning canneries and con- trolling, practically, all our water front, have the power to satisfy every selfish desire at public ex- pense.

VERY PERTINENT
 SUBJECT DISCUSSED

What is all this political hub bub about? The Progressive Miner advocates Harmony" and says names of all candidates for city
 offices should appear on one bal lot, thus enabling the voter to make his or her selection, ,--the very sys- tenn that has been in vogue in
 Ketchikan for years, and if all were satisfied to submit the mat
 ter to the honest judgment of the voters these local dissensions would. doubtless, grow less, but it is not
 to be. This year, the caucus was
 duly held and the, so called, Good
 Government representatives were on hand to nominate their favor ties and, indeed, there was very good list of. our best citizens plac-
 ed in nomination. All that seem ed necessary was for the voters to make their choice from the list
 of those who filed their acceptance and good Councilboard would have been selected without any
 bitter strife; but those who have played in the political cess-pool. usually acquire a fascination for it; so it seems the G. G. Combine
 concluded to frame-up a ticket.
 for use, and discovering that some thing was lacking in the list of nominees, they proceeded to add three, by petition, two of whom have no particular interests here. except that of satisfying their em-
 ploers so as to hold their jobs.
 The G. G. Combine have started the publicity advertising which
 naturally, calls for a response. They are sounding the praises of this Council on economy and their great achievement in street im- provement, and last nights paper | contains an article which indulges in mean references to some ex- penses incurred by former Coun- cils, notably, the pumping system. There has, without doubt, been many dollars spent in ways that would be reckless waste under pres ent conditions; but at the time that pump was installed we had very inefficient water system and every owner of a building of any value. in the business section of the town was clamoring for fire protection several meetings were held and many plans proposed; perhaps the best course was not chosen, but it was a plan that served us for several years, and was a make shift until we could do better, and was, to say the most of it, no more a mis-fit than the first water system installed. We are supposed to improve on the methods and conveniences of our fore-fathers as a result of their hardships and ex- periments; but that does not prove ment. Such statements are un- them rec. kless or lacking in judg- l fair, to put it mildly. Only that

BITE BUBBLES WHEN
 DRINKING FROM FOUNTAIN

Bite the bubble should be the rule in using the bubbling drinking fountain" says an inspector of the United States Public Health Ser yice.> "The lips should not touch any part of the fountain, and un- der no circumstances should the fountain be used for rinsing the mouth or for expectorating. If inn properly constructed or improperly used, the bubbling drinking fountain may be a greater menace to health than the common drinking cup.
 "The other day." continued the inspector, q took seat beside a public drinking fountain in rail road station and carefully watched the way in which it was used-or abused
 "Forty-seven different persons, of whom Il were men, P were women and IA were children, used the bub' bling fountain. In almost every case the lips were placed almost completely around the metal part from which the water spurted, and one small boy seemed as if he were trying to swallow it. Several of the men obviously were chewing tobacco. Of the AT people, four
  were colored, three looked as tho they might have tuberculosis, and three had an eruption upon the face.
 Every person using the bubbline drinking fountain should bear in mind that the object of this sani- tary device is to prevent the inter change of mouth secretions. When mucous and other matter becomes attached to metal it sometimes re- quires considerable force to remove it, and this is not always accom- plished by slowly moving current of water"

LARGEST PRODUCER OF
 RADIUM.


 According to writer in Radium. the Austrian govemment-the larg- est European producer of radium = obtained 2014 milligrammes of ra- dium element in the salts produced in 1911 and 1898 milligrammes of radium element in 1913. The data on production in 1914 are not yet available so far as the writer is aware, and, while strenuous efforts were being made to increase the output in 1913 and 1914, it is doubt ful whether more radium will be obtained than in preceding years.

llyered In Snyder last week. owing
to the great length OF the speech and
also because of the great volume OF
matter coming in for attention this
week, the more important features
only the speech can be reproduced.
The Signal acknowledges obliga-
ton to Mr. A. l.. Moore principal Of
The Western Commerelal College for
the stcnographic report Of the speech.
Mr.. Moore Is an expert In that line
and took down the entire speech and
has made from II the following syn
optic report, Right here the Signal
will say that snyder is fortunate In
having Mr. Moore and the Western
Commercial College here where short
hand and thorough business course
Is taught right here at home,

issue the promise was given that the
text OF his address would be given

spoken. Instead OF the new treaties
running Just five years as the old
ones had "and then dying. they new
er die" lie said; II have such faith
In these treaties believe that one
hundred years from now these trea-
ties will be furnishing the way by
which peace will be preserved for our
nation They cover all questions OF
every kind and character, they close
any gap, they leave no dlsputeout Of
which war can grow until after n pc
rlod Of Investigation that will last q
year" and these provisions, new to
treaty making. will make war a re-
mote possibility"
Further he said: 81 believe II there
Is any subject upon which we ought
to have a right to reserve right to
vote, II Ia the subject Of peace or war
that may mean the life or death OF so
many Of our citizens; and II we ever
have war, want the women to vote
as well as the men, for they bear the
most Of the burden"
The speaker said the reasons why
we should not 30 into this war were,
first; Nobody can tell how much
money II will cost. II anybody can
tell you what good this war will do
us, you get them to estimate how
much II will cost to get out. Next,
how many lives would II cost? II
three million have already died,
would one hundred thousand be
enough for great nation like this?
II we go into this war, we could not
30 In misery way or as n stlngy ma
tion. II would more likely cost n half
million men than one hundred thou
sand, and II might cost million men.
don't believe the American people
would be willing to sacrifice one hun
dred thousand men for any cause as
unnecessary. His third objection for
going to war was that this nation
cannot become a participant In this
war and remain neutral nation and
the one to which the world is looking
to act as mediator when the time
comes. We should not step
down from that high position and
turn over to some other nation an OPP
portunity that never came to any ma
tlon before since time began; and
then, too, we are the next kin to all
the nations that are at war. o.. Some
nation must lift the world out OF this
war, and crave that honor for my
nation. More glorious than any page
In history that has yet been written
Will be that page that will record to
