THE MATTER WITH US.

I'll tell you what the matter is with you people you have the best with opportunities in it's immediate vicinity than any in Alaska, but you are too busy attend to anything but your personal affairs and that's why Ketchikan district is little known, comparatively speaking. The people outside know this be the first town in Alaska and great fishing center and that is all they know about it. 1 have learned the last two hours that have been in town today about your mining possibilities than learned the last twelve years that 1 have resided in Seattle Let the people know what you have, and capital will come in." Thus spoke 8 representative of large transportation company who is going to Juneau to open office for his company. This agent Is only of many who have told the Progressive-Nner the same thing. Conclusvey, We are active within homes but merely passive with out, We display in windows but neg lect to bring people look at them We have pros pected hills for minerals and found considerable. but have failed let anybody know about finds. As though neither time opportunities had to be pose limitation. We have opportunities and since the time has come let get together and let the world know what they are. Circulars should be freely dis tributed as the in port, which is just what those great transportation lines do. They let the people know what they along their roads and the people travel and settle the country. The very thing that we need.

AN EXPENSIVE TRIP.
(Philadelphia Ledger.l

Philadelphia Ledger)
 Most Ford delegates were their first trip to Europe. and if many of them had been truthful as the Rev. Theophilus E. Montgomery, they would have said as he did: T had given up all idea of going to Europe. l wanted to go but l wouldn't spend my good money for it. But when Henry Ford offered to pay the bills you bet snapped up the chance in hurry"
 The Rev Theophlus E. Montgomery's was unusual As he sat with his shoes off in the train from Copenhagen to The Hague, the Rev. Theophilus proclaimed to his compartment mates: q think that this has been mighty expensive trip for us guests. I accepted Mr. Ford's invitation because he said he would pay all expenses wouldn't spend my own good money to go to Europe. And it has cost me up to date S7. That's lot of money to spend when you come under promise that all your expenses are to be paid. l guess another s ought to see hOme-but didn't expect when I came on this trip to lose s10 by it"

ally good year in the tourist business
on the Mississippi is ascribed to
many reasons by Mr.. Ratterman, who
has been in the business for the last
fifteen years. One of these Is the fact
that people are not going abroad for
their vacations, another is that there
is no attraction of especial sort like
the Panama-Paciftc exposition to at
tract the people from this section.
"We had good crowds OF tourists
on every trip, on the st. Paul, and
Quincy. too" said Mr.. Ratterman,
land because we had good patronage,
we were able to give the people the
best we had. The food came higher
this year than for long time, but
we served the best meals ever, be-
cause we can afford to when we are
travelling with all the staterooms oc-
cupied and the freight decks crowded.
In one trip out Of st. Paul. the

earthquake, destroying the cable sys-
tenn in that city, was, he says, tine
beginning OF the end" But the phys
ical destruction OF property was only
the beginning. The city officials gave
him an overhead electric franchise
and out Of this grew the notorious
graft cases which sent Abe" Ruef to
the penitentiary and led to the I'M
doing of Mayor Eugene Schmitz and
later OF Calhoun himself. Calhoun
also was indicted. but the jury dis
agreed and the case was dropped. A
year later he resigned the presi-
dency. From that day fate seemed
against him. His properties were
sold at sherifFs sale in some cases.
The supreme court of New York was
asked to appoint a receiver for all
of the former traction magnate's re-
manning properties. He admitted he
could no longer pay his office rent
and that his sole assets amounted to
less than five dollars. Few men
have had such metoric rises to mil

drop to penury. Patrick Calhoun at

is the Independent vote which in his
estimation Will be the greatest the

that the president doesn't court that

that President Wilson's campaign
managers are making dishonest use
of an article attacking Candidate
Hughes, written by Allan L. Henson.
were made by the socialist presijen-
tial nominee before he left on tour
to the Pacific coast today. Henson
wrote an article called Charles E.
Hughes, Wall Streets Handy Man"
He declared that it was read into the
Congressional Record of September z
and then sent through the malls under
congressional frank to indicate that
he (Benson) prefers Wilson to
Hughes.
II call upon the president to stop
his party managers from making dis
honest use OF my work" said the So
cialist nominee Il do not suppose
for a moment that he knows the pc.
culiar use to which his managers have
devoted my Hughes article, but when
the facts are laid before him, he will
know that it is unjust to me and an
imposition upon the American people
to put forth my article, under demo
cratic headlines which suggest that as
between the candidacy OF Mr.. Hughes
and the candidacy OF Mr.. Wilson, l
favor that OF Mr.. Wilson.
"As a matter of fact, have writ
ten an article about Mr.. Wilson's Wall
street connections that Is fully as in
teresting as my article about Mr..
Hughes. II the president cares to
circulate both of these articles
