A QUEER KIND
 OF PRINCIPLE

Mr. Heneghan says it was ''prin- ciple" that controlled him in the mayoralty contest last year. Ger tainly. No doubt. That's the kind of principle some people have. Let us aaaly- this principle: Mr. Heneghan was elected by the peo- pie to serve as councilman, but he never became Q councilman because he refused to take the oath of of fee and therefore could not have been made mayor if the council had so desired. Not only that. but by refusing to qualify he made it necessary for the mayor to ask the legislature to amend the law. which was done, in order that the Heneghan vacancy might be filled. as the law at that time did not provide for filing a vacancy where the person elected refused to take the oath of office. This is a pecul- jar brand of principle.

LO0KIN G AT THINGS FROM ANOTHER ANGLE
WRITER WITH FACTS AND LOGIC BRINGS OUT SOUND
 DEDUCTION.

Several days ago eight of our
 citizens publicly consented to alloy
 their names to be used as candidates
 for the eight municipal offices to
 be filled at Tuesdays election, and
 under the head of Good Govern
 ment ticket stated in plain and con- else language the principles for which they stand and the iGlprove- ment for which they intend to work if the citizens intrust their muni- cipal affairs to them during the coming year.
 Since then We have been treated to numerous communications from other candidates and their friends much of it consisting of mud sling ing, innuendo or defense of past acts. but all utterly failing to state in any manner how they or their candidates intend to conduct cur affairs if elected to tho next coun, cil
 In none do We find any specific charge of lack of ability or of inr tegrity against any of the candi dates on the Good Government tick ct, nor any criticism of any kind regarding the platform upon which they are working. The term Good Government appears to have caus- ed these independent, and each for himself candidates, some consterna- ton, as though it were new idea but their great criticism of the ticket is the fact that it contains the names of several whom they spurn as hired men, and from their lofty position of independence and prosperity these communicating each for himself, candidates and their Pro Bono friend appear to think that any man who receives pay for his labor, his time or the work of his brains is utterly unfit to have a voice in our public affairs or to take any part in their man. agement.
 Since becoming a voter and even before that time the writer has been compelled to pay his monthly bills with money received for his work, but because of this fact he does not believe that he and all the other many workers who accept wages for their work, should be perpetually barred from taking 8 part in the management of our civic affairs.
 Take from Ketchikan all the men who are paid for their work and the families dependent upon them. and how many voters would you have left. A very small handful and this superior and fortunate group are able to furnish employ ment for even a smaller number.
 This and many future elections in Ketchikan should be and will be decided by the bone and sinew of the community - the wage earner and his family-and there is cer- tainly no reason why we should be compelled to entrust our municipal affairs to the sole management of thc very small circle of independ- ent business men whose present prosperity relieves them of the necessity of receiving wages and in most cases of paying any cut.

BANDIT VILLA HAS
 MADE HIS ESCAPE
THE BELIEF IS THAT HE WAS NOT WOUNDED

General Funston said today that he does not believe that Villa was ever surrounded by the Americans. nor even the Mexican troops.
 Lieutenant John Mort's trial by court martial was terminted today. He was found guilty and sentenced to a reprimand.
 The charges against the Lieuten- ant arose from his leading enlisted men across the border in an en- deavor to release two soldiers who had been detained by the Villa bandits. While found guilty, the Lieutenant has the good wishes of all those who know him.
The daily progressive-miner., 1916-04-03

SAN ANTONIO, April 9.-The report that Villa had been wounded is discredited here, and particularly by the officials at the military headquarters. The belief is gain ing ground that when Villa discov- cred that his pursuers were de- termined to follow to his place of safety, he sent a detachment of his troops ahead as a decoy, and him. self took another direction with the intention of coming in the rear of the pursuers unaware. However Villa has apparently disappeared No reports have been received from General Pershing during the night.

TALK IS CHEAP:
 FACTS COUNT

To the Editor Progressive Miner,
 SIR: l noticed an article by Mir. E. L. Sampson in your Sat urday's issue calling the incoming council to repudiate the acts of it's predecessors and cancel the agreement made with the parties incorporated into the .townsite in order that the Town might get the benefit of the federal taxes.
 In this connection I would like to state a few facts.
 When the town was started it was a matter of great importance to incorporate the Ketchikan can- nery property in the townsite, and at the same time unless the Fidalgo Island Packing Company came in of their own free will it was inn possible to eoerce them into doing so.
 In view of this the first council made an agreement which has been lived up to by all it's successors making the city taxes a stated sum and in consequence the town has benefited to the extent of some S95,0O0 which 1t otherwise would not have obtained.
 In the correspondence that took place at that time between the manager of the cannery and his principals it was conceived that some small souled individual might endeavor to set this agreement aside but in view of the fact that it has held for so many years without being called into question it ap- pears that such people are few and far between.
 From my knowledge of Mir. Sampson's reputation 1 believe that when the above facts are called to his attention he would be the last person to question the wis dom of the first Ketchikan Council in making this agreement or the honorable course of its successors in living up to it.
 Yours very truly,

Serious Rioting the Result

Mother" Jones-Num-
Der of Arrests Made.

New York, oct 6.-Spurred on by the
exhortations of Mother Jones, labor
. agitator, 800 wives and women rela-
tives of striking street car men battled
with the police late yesterday after
noon in the most serious riot since the
walkout on the traction lines a month
ago. Night sticks were swung right
and left by the police and many of the
women were bruised. Scores of the
rioters carried babies in their arms.
A crowd of strikers entered the fray
on the side of the women and was driV-
ing back the few -patrolmen on the
scene when an automobile load of po-
lice reinforcements arrived. The re-
serves plunged into the midst of the
struggling mob and welded their clubs
without mercy. When the rioters
finally fled they left nine prisoners
six women and three men-n the hands
of the police.
The trouble began when the women
poured out of the hall where Mother"
Jones had exhorted them to Get the
scabs' off the cars"
