To Stump Or Not To
 Stump Was Question

4 few weeks ago it was formally annuonced at the White House that President Wilson would take the
 lump. Instead, as soon as he had Congress off his hands, he would re- tire to Long Branch and content him self with writing few notes. No sooner had Gov. Hughes taken the stump and begun to throw 42-centi- meter shells over the administrations breastworks, than it was formally announced by Secretary Tumulty, for the President, that President Wilson would take the stump and go over much the same ground" as MT. Hughes. Now, three days later and after a conference with National Chairman Mccormick, President Will son definitely" announces that he will NOT take the stump, but Cthere is always but he will accept invi- tatiOns to various parts of the coun- try and make addresses on political subjects. MT. Mccormick announced that NIT. Wilson considered a stump ing tour incompatible with the digni- ty to the office of the President" He will, therefore, merely visit various parts of the country to make address es."

ARMY COM MANDERS
 IN EUROPE HAVE HAD
 THEIR TROUBLE ALSO
ONLY TWO HAVE SURVIVED THE TERRIBLE ORDEAL AND RE-
 MANNED LEADERS.

A glance over the results of the stern test of war reveals the fact that it has ruined many brilliant military and naval regulations in the last two years, says a report, and of all the chief commanders who were called upon to lead the armed forces of Europe in 1914, only two have escaped unscathed. Joffre and Jellicoe, re- spectively the leaders of Frances army and Britains navy, are as su- preme today as they were in the be- ginning of the conflict, and their dis missal from the high post they occupy has not been thought of Count von Moltke, who held the supreme com mand in Germany at the outbreak of the struggle, was retired in disgrace after the battle of the Marne and has since died. Won Falkenhayn, who sue ceeded the gloomy Julius," was dis missed because of the failure of the Verdun assault, and Field Marshal von Hlndenburg, who was an old retired soldier and almost unknown outside of Germany before the war, has come to the front. Grand Admiral von Tir- pitz, the "big boss of the Kaiser's navy, has also passed into the discard. While the Austrian command remains nominally the same, the armies of Francis Joseph are now commanded and directed almost exclusively by Germans, and the Austrian leaders have become mere figureheads. Sir John French, upon whom England pin ned her hopes, has given way to Haig and Kitchener, after being subjected to much bitter criticism. is dead

Sweden Is Bound To
 Germany Thru Need

NEW YORK, Oct 2S.--Sweden is in very difficult position, according to MT Wallenberg, who has just ar rived here. He spoke very optimistical- ly of the prospect of improved trade relations with Great Britain. In part he said:
 It is. impossible for us to break with Germany because of our urgent need of coal and other supplies with which Germany is furnishing us,' said the minister. From the beginning of the war Sweden was determined to remain neutral and she has not con- templated for an instant entry into the terrible conflict.
 As to the economic position of Swe- den as a result of the war, some mon- ey has been made by individual indus tries but a great many have suffered. It would be a great advantage to Swe- den if the war came to an end. There is not a person, whether making or losing money, who would not be glad to see the end of this conflict"

Noted Democrat Gives
 Up His Attempt To
 Follow The President

Hannis Taylor, a southern demo- crat. who supported Mir. Wilson in 1912 and a noted writer on economic and political subjects, has given out the following statement to the New York World:
 Have I, lifelong democrat, who never voted a republican ticket nor supported a republican candidate, the right to support Mir Hughes?
 Living as I do at the seat of gov ernment, with a large personal ac- quaintance with the leaders of both political parties, l have had excep- tional opportunities to study at close range every act of MT. Wilson's ad- ministration.
 q have watched all the currents and counter-currents that have in fuenced that incoherent mass of in consistent acts which he is pleased to call his policy
 Thus against my will and political associations I have been forced to conclude that no man who ever filled the presidential office was so oppos- ed to the basic principles for which the democratic party stands, as Mir Wilson, an arrogant usurper, who has demonstrated his utter inability to play the pretentious role he has prepared for himself.
 'T deem it the duty of every pa triotic American, whatever his past political affiliations may nave been, to give his earnest support to the can didacy of MT. Hughes, a wise and patriotic statesman, whose life has been an open book and whose char acter and courage, candor and faith fitness has never been impugned."

HEART n HEART TALK WITH THE
 READERS IF PROGRESSIVE

Much is being said these days about the fish trust. What is 8 fish trust and who compose tAe feh trust? Be cause two or more people combine their savings to build a caanery, do1- that constitute a trust? How many single individuals in Ketchikan have sufficient money with which to build a cannery? and how many canneries. or cold storage plants, or sawmills, or mines would there be in Alaska or anywhere else, unless two or more people combined their capital for such purpose?
 Dale Hunt did not have money enough to build a cannery 50 he must. of necessity join his capital with tAag of others and form 8 corporation.
 Mayor Heneghan did not have enough money to equip a cold storage plant, so he had 10 put in" with oth, CTS, and therefore he, too, is part of the fish trust.
 Perry Jenkins was a i5tla short of cash so he was compelled 70 get J. T.. Smiley and others to help him out. Therefore he's a fish trust
 The Ketchikan Power Company is likewise a trust because no one O. the owners could do the job alone.

 13GERMAN PRIESTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ?. - Thir- teen German priests of the Roman Catholic church arrived here two days ago from Australia after an intern ment in British concentration camps since October, 1914. It was learned here that they were to be sent back to Germany.
 According to their stories, they were taken into custody on the island of Ceylon where for a time they were imprisoned. Nearly year later, after swabbing decks aboard British troop ship. they were landed in Australia and placed in a detention camp at Ioldsworthy, near Sydney. Later they were transferred to an old prison called Trial Bay, where their standard of living improved. Archbishop Kelly, of Sydney, obtained their release and a guarantee of safe passage.
 Several other Germans who have been interned also arrived today on the steamer Ventura.

PRESIDENT ISSUES
 A PROCLAMATION
ESTABLISHES RESERVE OF KA, SIAN ON PRINCE OF WALES
 ISLAND.

The Washington, D. C.. Star of Oct. 26, contains a proclamation issued by President Wilson, making Kasaan a reserve. The Star says.
 President Wilson has issued a proc lamation, upon recommendations of the Secretaries of Agriculture and In- terior and the Smithsonian Institu- tion, establishing the "Old Kasaan Ma tional Monument" situated on Prince of Wales Island. Alaska. The 3S.3 acres put aside for a national monu- ment is part of the Tongass national forest.
 The action of the President is talk en for the purpose of preserving a dis tinct type of aboriginal Indian civil ization that is fast disappearing. the Haida Indians having maintained village there for hundreds of years. It was known as "Old Kasaan." The land includes fifty Indian totem poles. some of them excellent specimens. and eight large buildings, constructed according to the peculiar plans of the Haida Indians They represent the best of the Indian architecture of that type.
 Vandals and the ravages of time have wrought much destruction among the Indian specimens left on the is land, but the action of the President is expected to preserve what is left.

ACCUSES GERMANY OF
 WANTING TO INVOLVE NORWAY IN THE WAR
EVERY NEWSPAPER IN LONDON IS DENOUNClNG DESTRUCTION
 OF NEUTRAL SHIPS.

Much space is devoted in the Lon- don newspapers to a discussion of Ger many's submarine war on neutral shipping It is pointed out that Nor way has now lost a total of one-seven- tn of her shipping The tonnage loss inflicted on Norway aggregates pro portionately four per cent more than that suffered by Great Britain. Con- cerning this subject, the London Times says:
 There is no possible excuse for this wanton, savage attack on ships of a neutral power. Germany pretends as the reason Norway's decree prohibit ing submarines from entering neutral territorial waters
 But this decree was practically identical with regulations already in force in Holland and Sweden, which were unchallenged by Germany.
 "A larger and more sinister purpose of the German onslaught is that Ger many aims impartially at destruction of tonnage during the war with the object of supplying it's losses from German shipyards hereafter"
 The Daily Mail suggests: Germany may be wantonly seeking to force war upon Norway or possibly hopes to fo- Dnaut ctrifa batwaoD Nrorurav opd Cu,o den on her own advantage"

Fremont King did not have enough money to handle the Tongass Trad ing Company, therefore he had to join his capital with that of others. Does that constitute a mercantile trust?
 The Sachem of the Red Mems Lodge did not have the money to build hall and had to take the whole Tribe in with him. That, therefore, must be a public hall trust
 We have many other similar trusts in Ketchikan, and should have many more, in which it became necessary for several persons to combine their capital in order to do business. In fact if it were not for the many trusts in Ketchikan and vicinity the trust bust CTS would soon be experiencing a very cold and hungry winter
 But seriously, why don't some of our trust busters bust the trusts by joining their capital together in the trusting and busting business them selves This virgin field for earnest and honest endeayor is still open to all. Get in the game Ketchikan has not yet too many bushes institutions. Indeed if there were more business in stitutions there would be still more employment for the trust busters.

Fishermen who have been catching crabs for twenty years say that the scarcity of crabs began after the ap- pearance of the sharks on the North Atlantic coast.
